Alright, time for another one of these! Yes, I hear those groans back there, deal with it

The Rules:

1. Starters are free.
2. HM slaves are allowed, but they may not enter combat, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
3. Ingame trades are allowed, as is trades ONLY to evolve. However, if you catch an undrafted Pokemon that you want to give away,
you can only give it when it could be caught legally. (Say, an Adamant Rhyhorn from the Safari Zone, they can only get that when they can enter the Safari Zone) Don't attach an item, either.
4. Have fun! No irritating low level restrictions, play however you want (within the rules) with those that you've drafted!
5. This draft ends after you beat the Elite Four the first time. Simple, no?
6. This draft supports 10 participants, and has a snaking draft order (1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4...) I will randomize the order (with proof!) after 9 others join.
7. Ask me if you have any doubts about the legality of certain actions!

Participants:

1. frat_tastic (broseph): Caterpie, Cubone, Shellder, Tangela, FARFETCH'D, Venonat, Omanyte
2. Helios (total badass): Mankey, Snorlax, Jolteon, geoDUDE, Drowzee, tentaCOOL, Pinsir
3. Venusaur (still the best grass starter): Nidoran♂, Growlithe, , Jynx, Zapdos, Paras, Onix
4. CR-S01 (Vulpix enthusiast): Pidgey, Staryu, Sandshrew, Weedle, Balls, Pimp Ditto,
5. Racer (Pokemon draft master): Nidoran♀, Vulpix , Rhyhorn, Hitmonchan, Bellsprout, Zubat, Porygon
6. Kon (archers>Kanto): Abra, Trollish, Flareon, Meowth, Scyther, Magikarp, Tauros
7. Esme (very enthusiastic!): Jigglypuff, Lapras, Ekans, Exeggcute, Chansey , Ponyta, Lickitung
8. Eail (patch dabbler): Pikachu, Vaporeon, Gastly, Dratini, Moltres, Aerodactyl, Grimer
9. Ether (dat Mia fanboy): Spearow, Diglett, Poliwag, Magnemite, Articuno, Machop, Seel
10. Folgore Green (green bros): Mr. Mime, Clefairy, Kangaskhan, Hitmonlee, Slowpoke, Rattata

[Esme]

I wanna join!

[Helios]

I should probably finish that other one lol

[Aquaman]

In.

Because being Green is awesome.

[CR-S01]

I have an obligation to join every Pokemon draft that I can draft vulpix in, so in

[frat_tastic]

YES. I want in this time since I missed out last time!

[Aquaman]

I want to actually get mons that I didn't in the other one.-_-.
And use Bulba as my starter this time.

And name my mons after the FR!

[Ether]

Y'know what? Sure, I'll bite. Retsu go.

[Kon]

While the Kanto region isn't exactly my favorite... I'll join, just for you Venu. ;P And I'll play with Blastoise this time. <3

I can't decide between and

Maybe you'll find a new Pokebro?

[Eail]

Count me in, cool if I use my Moemon patch for Fire Red?

As long as it doesn't change anything other than sprites, go ahead! If the gameplay's not vanilla (changed wilds/trainers/shops/whatever) then you can't.

[Eail]

Just changes the sprites of the Mon, doesn't affect the game at all

[Kon]

I'm really tempted to try that~. Unfortunately, I get easily distracted when playing on the computer, so I guess it's just my FR cartridge for me. :c

On computer you also get a 10x speed toggle, that helps quite a bit for finding Pokemon/grinding/making the game shorter. Try something new, it just might hold your interest longer! (I personally am fine with plain vanilla, but...)

The 10x speed is what let me beat the Crystal draft so fast. I don't know if I would've had the patience to finish it otherwise. I know I wouldn't be able to finish the Platinum draft if I couldn't speed the game up, since gen IV is SO SLOW.

[Kon]

Case in point, I had opened my paint program with the intent of working on one of my sprites at least 7 hours ago. I just closed out of it with almost no progress made on it. That's just from lurking a forum and watching YouTube videos.

[Racer]

oh fine. I just finished that other one a week ago.

[Venusaur]

1. frat_tastic (broseph)
2. Helios (total badass)
3. Venusaur (still the best grass starter)
4. CRS-101 (Vulpix enthusiast)
5. Racer (Pokemon draft master)
6. Kon (archers>Kanto) so sue me I couldn't think of anything better
7. Esme (very enthusiastic!)
8. Eail (patch dabbler)
9. Ether (dat Mia fanboy)
10. Folgore Green (green bros)
