Well, since you'll auto get level 100 pokemon, I don't think your game progress will matter too terribly much.
As for the wireless, surely there's a hotspot nearby, such as a college or library?
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Haplo_64 - 12-08-2009 05:22 PM
I see your point then. I'm all for doing it with the DS, it just means I can't due to lack of WiFi.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Gary Oak - 12-08-2009 05:24 PM
what Haplo said.

Luckily, I can sometimes get my little brother to trade me ones I like.

And as for wireless hotspots? Our library is too terrible to have one. I think there's a McDonald's four miles away that has one, but no. No on both the distance and the it being a McDonalds, aargh.

Hotspots? Pffft. The closest hotspot to me is 25Km away, and it doens't even work for DS sue to them not setting their router nice.

So the reason people won't join in on this isn't because they don't like the idea...
...it's because they physically can't.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - masamunemaniac - 12-08-2009 09:06 PM
Silly Australians and their primative internets
I'd enter.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Haplo_64 - 12-08-2009 09:20 PM
Exactly. I had a gym all set out, only to realize that you wanted to do it on DS.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Gary Oak - 12-08-2009 10:19 PM
Again, what Haplo said.
Except I'd participate via DS if I could.

I'd love (love the more I think about it) to play the initial gym leader. The dude with the shitty type that gets trounced by everyone. However, no DS (or knowledge about pkmn, but I might learn enough to join in I have a DS/cart.)
...it's because they physically can't.
It's a fun concept.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Bubbleman - 12-08-2009 11:59 PM
I'd enter this.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Whomper - 12-09-2009 12:33 AM
For anyone that wants to enter and can, I'm still needing gym leaders.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Bugle - 12-09-2009 02:40 AM
I really only have my eeveelutions that are anywhere decent (I started a new game with the sole intent of having an eevee and all 7 eeveelutions at level 1 to play trough it... DON'T JUDGE ME.), so while I'd love to be a gym leader... Masa really has precedence in this case and apparently eeveelutions won't work as of now anyway =(
Still, I'll gladly sign up as a trainer! It really shouldn't be too hard to find a hotspot here in Austin...
Incidently, no, I haven't finished my eevee run yet, I'm a little over half way, but it's still pretty fun crushing everything with naught but my army of 8 all powerful eevees!
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Haplo_64 - 12-09-2009 02:49 AM
I like electric types, so if in 3 months this is still running, I'm gonna go for that. Power to the Pokemon!
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - NOLDER - 12-09-2009 05:09 AM
yeah I'll do this as a trainer if it gets going
I've got some pokemon I've been needing to train anyway
but as a gym leader I don't think I can
though if you really don't mind I might take this idea and like remake it or something and run it over shoddy for the more competitive minded people
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Santa Squid - 12-09-2009 11:07 AM
I'd do Ice if this kept going until/started back up when HGold and SSilver came out.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Bubbleman - 12-09-2009 10:11 PM
I'd do grass or poison or maybe physic if I wasn't so lazy.
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - newspring - 07-31-2010 09:54 AM
Is this thing still happening? It sounds cool and might get me into playing Pokémon again
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - NOLDER - 07-31-2010 10:24 AM
doesn't look like it
RE: The CMC Pokèmon League - Kennisiou - 08-01-2010 04:23 PM
Since the main issue doesn't seem to be lack of interest but instead lack of capability, maybe the better solution is to go with shoddybattle or pokemon online. I understand that the use of sims would probably create a less casual environment than you're shooting for, but to me I feel like the casualness can still be achieved through other restrictions (here's a fun one, challenger's teams can't use any of the top 10 used OU's based on smogon's shoddy server statistics. I've heard it's a fun meta to play in whose only real fault is that it's kinda togekiss heavy), or by banning pokemon that are no fun* to play against (breloom because of spore, jirachi and togekiss because of flinching, skarm/bliss combos because of prolonging matches). Or by adding or removing certain clauses that competitive players enjoy/don't enjoy (say, playing with item clause or playing without species clause). While a lot of these can produce some unbalanced gameplay (I'm thinking back to my stall days in early plat and dreading the possibility of my stall team needing to check TWO salamence instead of just one, or of trying to build a stall team where only one member holds lefties), that shouldn't be a huge problem if you're mostly looking for a casual, fun environment.
*Not to get all "competitive player" here, but I really have no personal problem regarding the pokemon I've listed, since they're all pretty easy to answer (although they have been difficult in the past, what with the physical/special spectrum being split by type instead of on a move-by-move basis making breaking skarm/bliss insanely fucking hard), I'm only listing them because they're the sort of things a lot of wi-fi players dislike because of their tendencies to prolong matches and the fact that they're hard to predict around.
