Hello and welcome to yet another exciting Up Vs. Down thread hopefully with at least 50% less Superpowers!!!
This is another themed version of up or down to follow on from the successful Aqua vs Magma, Mew vs Mewtwo, Helix vs Dome, Fluffy Bunnies vs Fluffy Clouds, (and the very successful Ash vs Red, Mario vs Sonic, Reshiram vs Zekrom, and Arceus vs Giratina versions) from the last 8 times.
As is standard for these threads, once players have chosen their side, their usernames will be added to a list in the original post detailing which side they are playing for. Players cannot change sides once they have made their choice.
This themed battle will pit two staples of the Pokemon series against each other.
In this corner, Gym Battles! It's a well known fact that in order to challenge the Pokemon League, you must first acquire 8 gym badges. To do so, you face off against the leader of the Gyms, or Gym Leaders, in epic Struggles to theDeath Faint!
In this other corner, Pokemon Contests! For those who find battles too brutish, or Wish to express a more artistic flare with their Pokemon, have no fear! Introduced in RSE, and recently brought out of retirement in their remakes, ORAS, Pokemon Contests have little point in the main series games, as they do not advance the plot. But don't let that stop you! Pokemon Contests are certainly a fun way to express yourself with your Pokemon and have a good time for one and all!
Before we can get started, of course I must inform you all of the rules. I'm mostly done with my rule tweaking, but pay attention and read the rules anyway, you never know what Tricks I might try to play in the rules if I feel like nobody's paying attention.
Rules:
- Game starts at 250
- The Gym Challengers can only count up with the goal of reaching 500.
- The Pokemon Coordinators can only count down with the goal of reaching -0.
- Players can choose to play for either team but you cannot change teams after you have chosen.
- No ping-ponging rule still applies which means you cannot make another post in the thread until at least two other users have made a post since you last posted.This rule is only valid for people who are not ME
-Mentions are permissible, though mass mentions of the entire team are still banned. You may mention up to three people per post.
-Additionally, you may only mention ME for the sake of making an official score count, even if I am on your team.
-Anyone in violation of the above rules regarding mentions will be eaten by a Killer Bunny, and will need to edit their post accordingly.
- If an official score tallying is needed, I reserve the right to officially pause the thread until I can tally the posts and calculate the official score. Since I am not yet a Moderator, I cannot close the thread while I am counting, so any posts after my post wherein I pause the thread will be ignored and will need to be deleted before I will unpause the thread.
- If an official score tallying is required, and I am unavailable or not responding to mentions, please summon a Moderator ( @Kakuna Matata; @Enzap; or @ScarletSky
. If a Mod summoning occurs, please pause the thread until the Mod arrives whereupon they can tally up the scores. Again, this is only if I am unavailable and/or not responding to mentions, or if the Mods happen to be in the area and notice the chaos.
-If there is a discrepancy in the scores, assume that my scores are correct because I go back and fix my posts based on ninjas and run occasional score tallies. I am fallible, and if you believe my score to be incorrect, let ME know, and I will either fix the score or I will explain why my score is correct.
- Per @badasstroperMCH;'s request, I am instituting a tie rule. If, after 150 pages, there are 5 or less regular posters or, if for 50 consecutive pages, the score does not go beyond 250 +/- 10, the game will end in a tie. If the score goes beyond 240 or 260, the counter resets.
Okay, I think that's it for the rules. If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to post it here.
