We may have a problem with getting good enough leaders to be available but as we are only planning on needing them for a period of 1 to 2 hours on a weekend so it may not be too difficult. When we start to recruit leaders we'll see if this is an issue.

I remember I used a trick room team against Charlotte and beat her in two tries!

I'm here. Sleep sky.

I like it! 9/10!

What is the rest of your team like? It depends on what your team needs.

Banned for cat onomatopoeia.

Yep! Micky

We're planning on having quite detailed testing for those who apply to be gym leaders on not only their battling skill, but their availability and so on. We are also planning on testing role playing skills so that it adds to the experience!

I did a little better than I expected with my mono OU team in an ubers match! http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-273304362

I can't draw at all. So when there is drawing involved I force someone else in my group to do it Sky is next.

I always end up doing all of the work in group projects. I always seem to become significantly more popular when the words assessed group project come up (especially in English, History, French and Chinese). Group projects are awful when you don't pick your group, Sky.

Does it restore any HP at all? Whenever I've used Regenerator it has been fine on my Relinuclis.

Dinner. It is the most varied for me!

It learns ancient power at level 38. If you have gone past this you will need to use the move relearner.

I'm here! Juu?

Welcome to reborn!

Yeah, we'll work on automation (if it is possible). We aren't going to call it the new reborn league or assume it is a new version of the old league. It is really just a league for the community to enjoy!

By new reborn league really all we mean is a league similar to the reborn league for the members of the reborn community to participate in. Do you know if Ame would be okay with us using a lot of the same rules that she had in the actual Reborn league (we'll obviously ask her some of these questions)?

Happy Birthday!

No Aqua?

The point about anonymity is definitely a fair one. Even if we did implement a ban system for those who asked for battles outside of the official times (or something similar) it wouldn't be as effective as unknown leaders. We could trust most of the current members of the community to not harass leaders however we can't be sure people who would (hopefully) be attracted by the league would pay the same respect. While a couple of leaders would be known for organisations sake it would make sense to have the majority of leaders being anonymous. This would mean that when/ if we do get around to asking for applications it would all have to be done by PM. The difficulty is an important point. We may not be able to replicate the immense difficulty of the Reborn league but there is little point to us making something if everyone who challenges it can win easily. The fun comes from the challenge so we'll need to find people who are as good at battling as possible. The time zones thing is definitely a valid point. I wouldn't expect challengers from America to get into Australian time zones just to challenge me however given that we are planning to just do this on the weekend it wouldn't be a problem for me to battle people on an EST Saturday afternoon/ evening. The time zone difference is great enough that it would just be morning for me- I'm not a big sleep inner anyway. Nova and I were talking about time zones and discussing the possibility of having leaders make themselves available for European challengers as well (probably GMT availability). We haven't worked out details here but it is a possibility. So pretty much I think that leaders would have to at least be available on EST Saturdays or Sundays in order to qualify I think. Thanks for the feedback.

Okay, Nova is now working with me to try and make this happen. We have decided to wait and view the poll a bit more before starting properly so if you are reading this please vote in the poll! Challengers are likely to be the biggest problem as AuthorReborn pointed out. As he pointed out we might be able to attract some poketubers to challenge it which would be great for advertising. Thanks to all that have expressed interest so far!

TFW you realise something you were only dreaming of might well become a reality.

Time zones are going to be tricky but I think Leaders will have to operate in their time zones and challengers may have to work around it. This may complicate things somewhat as we won't be able to have one set time where challengers can challenge any gym leader but it might make organisation easier as we might only have one or two leaders on at a time. I think we can get this to work. Thanks for volunteering to help manage the league Nova. We'll defiantly need several manages so it would be great to have you on board. I don't think we are quite at the stage of finding leaders yet but if you are helping manage it you are pretty much guaranteed a spot as a leader I would think. We'll have to start of small but I think we can get this going. So anyone who is interested in helping get this started post here and we'll find some way of communicating effectively (whether it is in a group PM or just in this thread). It is cool to see all of this interest. I'm not sure how we should organise getting this lea

Thanks for offering to look over a finished concept. I don't see any problem with it not starting until the RCBA is over. You're right about a smaller competitive battling community but this league probably wouldn't be quite as hard as the initial one so some people may challenge it without being competitive battling experts. I wasn't around in the time of the initial league. Would there be more members of our community (not necessarily on showdown) than during the online league. I didn't think about the summer thing- as I'm in Australia I don't really think about American holiday times.
