PokéNations(season 2) One of Reborn's most loved (and at times, drama filled) battling competitions is back for its long awaited second season, something almost two years in the making! We've got a lot of info to cover in this post, so let's get to it! What is this PokéNations competition you speak of? PokéNations is a battling competition that all of Reborn is eligible to compete in! Participants will be placed into one of six 'Nations'. After, they will have the opportunity to elect a leader and pick two of their Nations types via the PokéNations 2016 Type DraftTM (more to come on this in due time). After the type draft is complete, the PokéNations committee will assign each Nation their third type, and Nations will have the chance to create their names for the competition. From here, Nation members will have the opportunity to work, teambuild, and strategize together to fulfill the requirements of various challenges as they battle other Nations in head to head competitions. This competition will go on for 10 weeks. At the end, the two Nations with the most wins will go head to head in the Championship series to determine the overall winner of PokéNations! Competition Rundown The "Challenge" Thread Every week on Saturday by midnight EST, each Nation will receive an assignment as to which Nation they are facing, in the following format: Nation A v. Nation B Nation C v. Nation D Nation E v. Nation F This Nation assignment thread will also host the weekly challenge that all Nations must abide by. This challenge is normally designed to make you think critically about your teambuilding, using creativity and strategy to outwit your opponents. From there, each Nation must come up with the allotted number of battlers for the week. This roster of battlers, submitted by the leader of each Nation, should be posted in this thread and include the timezone of each battler in order to make scheduling less of a hassle. Any questions about the challenge also go here. The "Matchup" Thread By Sunday at midnight EST, a new thread will be posted. This thread will tell battlers whom their exact opponent for the week is. From this point, battlers have the span of the week to teambuild and face their opponents. Replays of the battles should be saved and links posted in this thread, so that the staff can review and ensure that all challenge rules were followed and keep track of the win/loss ratio for each Nation (located in the OP of the thread.) Rules All Pokémon used by a Nation must have at least one of the Nation's three types; failure to do so can result in disqualification of the battle. Teambuilding should adhere to the weekly challenge; failure to do so can result in disqualification of the battle. Deadlines must be strictly adhered to; failure to do so can result in a penalty for the Nation. You may only battle three consecutive weeks ONE time, after that you are capped at two weeks between breaks. Frequently Asked Questions Are dual types allowed?Yes, so long as one of the types falls into the types that your Nation has.What about Mega Evolutions that change type?If the type of a Mega Evolution changes so that it is no longer a type that your Nation controls, then you are unable to use it. For example, a Nation with the Flying type cannot use Mega Gyarados or Mega Charizard X, as they lose their Flying type upon Mega Evolving. Similarly, a nation that has the Dark type cannot use Mega Gyarados, as Gyarados' base typing does not have Dark in it.What about Pokemon that use nonconventional means to change their type?All Pokemon that can utilize an ability (Protean, Imposter, etc) or a move (Transform, Reflect Type, etc) should be counted as their base type. This means that only the Nation that has Normal can use Ditto and Kecleon and so forth.How do I become a Nation leader, and what are the responsibilities?Each Nation should select a leader by popular vote. Nation leaders will speak on behalf of their nations during the Type Draft, voicing the final decision on the type that their Nation will take. Additionally, leaders are responsible for posting their Nation's roster of battlers, any decisions that the Nation makes should a challenge call for it, and contacting the committee should any problems arise.What's the prize?The committee have teamed up with the Redemption League staff in order to provide a most marvelous prize! What is this stupendously amazing prize? Only time (and the bray of a certain pony) will tell...Who exactly are these committee members?The PokéNations committee members are Jericho, Rosesong, Hukuna, FraRPetO, Pyrrhon, and NickCrash. Sign me up! At some point, a sign up thread for PokéNations will launch. This thread will be open for two weeks for the initial sign up period, during which time the staff team will be sorting users that state their interest into one of six Nations. This is a time flexible event, so even if you aren't sure you'll have time every week, you can still sign up nonetheless. Sign ups will be open for the entirety of the PokéNations run, to ensure that newer members to the server and forums are able to participate as well. As a note: You cannot select the Nation that you are placed into. There is no guarantee that you will be in a Nation with your BFFs. The process used to place participants into their Nations has been designed to ensure fairness and a level spread of talent across all Nations.

*flips the switch* ...oh, so that's what that does

Congrats on 1000 Sparks! You're an awesome person and I'm glad to have gotten to know you better. We've been through Apophyll and Vermillion, which were pretty awesome. Talking WWE with you is always a blast as well. Stick around, yeah?

Flower Garden field... Hmm, sounds like quite the relaxing place, though hell on a battlefield. Can't wait to see this field effect in action, Ame
