GYM LEADER Applications

[Socratic Sarcasm]

Gym Title: Picture Perfect... Hidden Horror

Description of Gym Theme: Pokemon with an ability that makes them benefit from major status problems (Guts, Quick Feet, Poison Heal, Flare Boost, Toxic Boost. Note: I know it was said to specify only a few abilities but two out of those five have a whole one fully evolved Mon, and another has all of two of them)

6 Pokémon planned for Gym Theme: Breloom (Poison Heal), Gliscor (Poison Heal), Heracross (Guts), Ursaring (Guts), Zangoose (Toxic Boost), Drifblim (Flare Boost)

Wildcards: Starmie, Volcarona

Single Battle: Leader sends out Pokemon first.

Pokémon per side: 3

Restrictions: No OHKO Moves

Arena:

Deep in Floaroma Meadow, there exists a beautiful, circular garden with the most bright colorful, and exquisite flowers any human has had the pleasure of seeing. Their perfume is absolutely lovely, and the art they make is the kind that can only be found in nature. However, as most people familiar with nature know, bright colors mean you want to AVOID the species in question, and these flowers are no exception. For though most of the time, these flowers are perfectly normal, the flowers in question emit a pollen that causes horrible things to happen to Pokemon, things that usually cause them to suffer in battle.

Arena effect: For each Pokemon to interact with the ground at the end of each round, whether by being grounded or taking an action that forces grounding, roll a 6-sided die. If the result is one, roll another six sided die. If the number is:

1: You lucked out. The pollen is of the rare flower that only mimics the flowers that cause problems.

2: The pollen from this flower causes blistering and inflammation. The Pokemon is burned (fire types are unaffected, as are Pokemon with the ability Water Veil).

3: Ah, poison. Nature's favorite way of screwing people over. This poison interacts with your tissues and weakens you over time. Pokemon is TXC (except for Poison Types and Pokemon with the Ability immunity. This TXC overrides regular poison).

4: What's this? You're numbing up? The Pokemon is paralyzed (Pokemon with Limber exempted).

5: This flower is really very rare; it only exists in very select places. It contains a high concentration of the chemical menthol, which makes the body feel cooler without actual temperature change. This Pokemon is frozen (Ice types and Magma Armor excluded)

6: Nighty-night! This Pokemon is sleep for the next round (yet not those with Insomnia or Vital Spirit).

If a Pokemon already has the condition, the flower has no effect. Same thing if they already have the maximum number of major status conditions.

Requirements: None

Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm. While I like your premise, I'm afraid it's a bit vague, not to mention broad. If you had a definite list of abilities or said, for instance, abilities that cause major status problems, it would be much more concrete and less open to interpretation.

[paperfairy]

Seems too simple.

"Roll D6, if D > 1, Pokemon has a status condition."

Doesn't mention what happens if a Pokemon already has a condition, and I'm not really seeing how the abilities relate with the field, aside from "they relate to statuses", which as Velo said, is a little vague.

[3m0d0ll]

I agree with Velocity that it's way to broad. Sorry. :/ Maybe pick like two or three Abilities that have to do with statuses and pick all your 'Mons form there?

So I had an epiphany.

What is the Gym Arena?
El Supermercado
The arena is really a large renovated gym that is connected to a supermarket, which was sponsored by the Pokemon League to host these battles. Everything has been removed, and it is now an open spacious area. The arena is the old indoor soccer field, which takes up most of the space. A rope fence has been tightly strung around it, and people who are shopping often come to see if there is a match going on. Food vendors line the whole place on all sides. However, recently a trend of Pokemon food vendors has sprung up in the area. The spectators have taken to throwing Pokemon food into the arena during battle, lending special effects to the Pokemon that eats it. The Gym Leader has taken no steps to stop it, so it is quickly rising as a tradition. As the match goes on, the crowd grows larger, and so does the chance of food reaching a Pokemon increase.

The chance that food will reach a Pokemon begins at 10% and increases by 5% each round. There are four different flavors of food sold in the arena, each of which has a different effect. However, the effects only last for one round.

Food #1- Salty; +2 ATK

Food #2- Sweet; +2 SPATK

Food #3- Bitter; +2 DEF

Food #4- Sour; +2 SPDEF

What are, if any, the requirements to challenge your Gym? None.

In addition, please provide links to all battles you have participated in, past or present.

Oh, and two things.

Spoiler:

I chose 200kg because that's where Low Kick/Grass Knot hit at full power, plus it seemed like a good size of candidates. Speaking of that, this is the full list of possibilities, NFE's excluded. Scolipede, Tyranitar, Dragonite, Lapras, Mantine, Camerupt, Gyarados, Hariyama, Glalie ,Gigalith, Beartic, Rhyperior, Mamoswine, Golem, Hippowdon, Torterra, Golurk, Probopass, Aggron, Wailord, Steelix, Snorlax, and Metagross. I was told by people that it was too similar to Katie's gym, because I totally forgot it incorporated weight. *facepalm*

WiK: Looks good to me. I'm worried about the lack of diversity in your potential Gym Roster; only the Bronzor and Aron family have Heavy Metal.

Edited Gym Idea

[Velocity]

@ White Knight: That's the funniest thing I've seen all day. I like your arena, and the concept is cool. I agree with Jenn, but I see no reason to give this a non-pass. So, I give it a pass.

@ Socratic Sarcasm: Your potential roster is much narrower, Katie likes. It's not the narrowest ever, but given how expansive my potential roster is I can hardly complain. Your arena struck me as very overpowered at first, but then I read the entire effect list and I get it now. Another pass.

[3m0d0ll]

I'd be more specific in regards to what constitutes to "making contact with the ground," SS.

And yeah, WiK, I didn't mean that your idea wasn't approved, but I was giving you the ability to add Pokemon to your Roster. :P If you're content, then Approved.

[Socratic Sarcasm]

I meant that if you're in te air the entire round, you don't roll. If you touched the ground at any point, roll.

Ah, okay. The way you phrased it made it seem like you had to be slammed into the ground or use a Ground-type move. Thanks for clarifying. :)

[Socratic Sarcasm]

Approved?
