So I was reading through the Emerald low level draft because I find reading that shit interesting and I saw this idea. And dammit, I think it's a pretty good idea. So I wanna give this a shot.

Pretty much all of these rules are subject to change except rule 2. This is kind of an uncertain thing.

1. This draft will be for 8 players, snake-style. 8 Pokemon will be drafted for each person. This may be kind of excessive because like half the shit is in Citadark Isle, so a lot will probably be kind of useless. w/e
2. The game will go until you beat Grand Master Greevil.
3. Eevee and Teddiursa are free. Beyond that, you're on your own. This might change if people want it to? idk this hasn't been done before Teddiursa's staying free

Not participating, but if you lose a battle you don't keep whatever you snagged. I found that one out during my last playthrough when I lost to Eldes' brother (the blue one) I didn't keep whatever I snagged from him. So no Trio/Tauros/Rhydon/Eggy.

[Racer]

I'm in. But, I'll finish this very late because I forgot how XD works :/
EDIT: I think you shouldn't make Teddy free. Its got the most availibility right? So its like drafting Franz in an FE8 draft. A unit that makes the first pick very valuable.

Ok, good to know. They'd probably go undrafted anyway but that clears it up.

Well, it's sort of like getting Franz in Fe8 with everyone else's join time being pushed back. Unless I'm wrong about the mechanics, after encountering Teddiursa, everything is a double battle. So whoever gets Teddiursa has a significant advantage in that aspect of not getting 2v1d. The gap in when you can get Ledyba or Poochyena and when you can get the next 6 guys is IIRC pretty notable, so 5 people will be sitting around without anything but Eevee for a while. If the majority wants to see it change, though, I'd be ok with it.

[Aquaman]

HOLY SHIT
I'M IN

I <3 GOD!

What about the pokespot Pkmns?

Edited by The Insane One, 21 February 2012 - 11:40 AM.

[Kon]

Count me in. Maybe I'll finish this one too!

Oh, and as an aside to The Insane One's question, will ZAPRONG (the Elekid) and Duking's trades be draft-able?

Edited by Kon, 21 February 2012 - 03:54 PM.

[Liquid Snake]

The Elekid is already on the list, but I forgot all about the Poke-spot Pokemon and Duking's trades. Thanks for reminding me, I'll get them right onto the list.

edit: if anyone has any idea what the last guy you get from Duking is, I'd like to know, because I can't figure it out looking through my old memory card

Edited by Dirk Strider, 21 February 2012 - 04:23 PM.

[Kon]

Looking at bulbapedia, the Poke you need is Shuckle for Surskit.

[Liquid Snake]

Thanks.

I think that makes it a complete list then.

[Aquaman]

Yeah.
Also.
Surskit
Trapinch
And
the other one needed to trade are all rare

[CR-S01]

I'm in.

[Aquaman]

The 8 people that sign up for this are among the few who still have Pokemon GOD

[Kon]

I'll give you one better. Not only do I own Pokemon XD, I also own the special edition GameCube that came with pre-ordering the game.

Specifically, this one: http://www.gameexpre...5496941789F.JPG

[CR-S01]

I got this game back when it was still 50 bucks.

[Racer]

Oh yeah double battles :/. I really need to start learning up on how XD works...
EDIT: C'mon CR, join.

[CR-S01]

I said "I'm in", didn't I?

[Venusaur]

Oh what the hell, might as well enter. Fill up ALL the Memory Cards!

[Aquaman]

3 more.

Lets Bug TinyImp to join

inb4 Poocyena/Ledyba go 1st and 2nd.

I just remembered.

Nosepass may actually be used seriously, along with Magcargo.

[Liquid Snake]

I said "I'm in", didn't I?

Sorry, didn't check for a while.

Anyway, 2 more. Do any of the rest of you guys want Teddiursa to be drafted and not free, by the way? This is sort of an experiment, so I'm ok with either.

[CR-S01]

Sorry, didn't check for a while.

oops, sorry, that was directed at Dark Elf.

And uh, I think Teddy should be free.
