Ikaru

Yay, I win again... twice...... again. Random pick was also myself but since I clearly don't need it, Erick was second on the list so he can have that; now go enter the 16th one everyone~

Got rid of any extra stuff I may have had in the folder; thanks for pointing that out, Dragonz. Link above still applies.

So I noticed a few mistakes and a couple things I missed; they'll be fixed and added tomorrow.

[s]Leaving[/s] You're going away for a bit for arguably the best reasons, (that is, life) and so for that reason I can't blame you or go into a massive "NO WAIT DON'T GO PLEASE QQ" thing. You say you intend to stop by at every chance, so best of luck with... well, everything, and I had more to say but it slipped my mind because I'm extremely distracted by ... something else. Um. Yeah.

Speaks for itself I guess.

oh yes.

I'm gonna go through and do this today, since the latest version from Ame doesn't have our sprites in it; if anyone wants anything in it, you better post it today with a sprite and a number to replace. Either way, it'll be updated every two weeks with the new leaders, so, yeah. I'm just doing the initial edit so Ame can just add one sprite each time. EDIT: If any of these were requested a long time ago and you still want them in, say so, please. I've added some of them already, such as the ones that would obviously be used, but some were questionable. Otherwise, here.

Darmanitan is in the same vein as Rampardos, although weaker, but with more speed; Flare Blitz, its strongest move, is also affected by Sheer Force, which makes it hurt anything that doesn't resist it. To give you an example, even those that resist it: [quote] [b][color=#0000FF]Start of turn 8[/color][/b] Aries used [b][color=#F08030]Flare Blitz[/color][/b]! [color=#A0A0A4]It's not very effective...[/color] The foe's Rayquaza lost 48% of its health! Aries is hit with recoil! [/quote] That's scarfed, too, had I used a Life Orb, it would do even more.

Rampardos having Sheer Force is amazing, but the problem with it is it's not exactly bulky, and the best moves it could use with Sheer Force (elemental punches) aren't legal with the ability. Um... that was just the first that came to mind, but if you give me a while I can probably find a pretty decent list of things to use. You've already hit one of the best in Feraligatr, and you said to avoid Nidoking... Ooh, how about a special Landorus?

Wouldn't truly be "Reborn" without some of the older members coming back; nice to actually meet you instead of hearing and reading about you (or what you used to be apparently << >>) from Mashew and extremely old battle logs~

Late, but the problem with that is you'll pass Perish Song too, which... I don't think you want. Another issue is that bugs can be strong, or they can be sneaky, but never both, except MAYBE in the case of Volbeat. It does look interesting though, nonetheless. As for Energy Ball v. HP Ice, with a monotype team you wanna be able to take out your weaknesses; Energy Ball won't do that as well as HP Ice will. You've already covered the biggest point though: [quote]once you lose the element of surprise, that's it, really. [/quote] It's the same with the Absol lead I use sometimes in that it's unexpected and can catch a lot of people off guard, but if it's expected, it'll probably get played around very easily. A shame, really.

Dragonite obviously, and it's probably past his birthday at this point, but [b][i][u]HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE PAST[/u][/i][/b] :O

Missed you too, friend. <3

Pretty much what Ame said; nice to see an older face than my own that still exists, short of Mael and the others. Welcome back, Miss Always-Sit-On-Ikaru-For-No-Reason.

Kay, this is over NOW, as the first post says, SUNDAY. << >> Yay I win twice, and the last to Inuki, fun stuff. As for the random pick, that I totally didn't forget, Mashew wins that one. Next one will be up tomorrow.

^ What he said, so long as it remains known that I nearly finished the X-League without ever changing my team once >_>

Oh no, our secret is exposed. Gardevoir, how could you. Why, I am so mad right now. Can you not feel my rage? arrggghhhh. (Does that work?)

I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know! :D *shot*

"Secondly, don't start a fight on here as well." He's trying to stop it. But nice try. And yes, to be completely honest, those are legitimate questions but because people need to overreact cause OMG IT'S GEO WTF, I won't hesitate to lock it if Mashew doesn't.
