I also wonder, how would we feed carnivorous Pokemon? I know that some Pokemon could probably eat synthetic meat like animals, but there are also some animals that have to eat their prey live. Do you think that if you have an Arbok, you have to you know, catch its dinner?

It mentions in a few of the main series games that carnivorous pokemon eat other pokemon. So I would imagine that it would still work like that. For the pokemon that you own, I'm sure there would be some sort of system in place where you just purchase food, because in the pokemon world, humans have to eat meat as well, and the only meat in the world are pokemon. lol

In Arbok's case, you'd probably be able to feed it any kind of meat without any ill effects.

In the pokemon stories that I write, I have a system set in place exactly like that. Big pokemon like that aren't allowed to be brought out in a lot of places. The only time you'd see a big pokemon like Onix or Steelix is way out in an area that a gym leader who uses either of those pokemon has built, or a natural open area. Of course, Wailord is completely useless, as are most other water pokemon, outside of water. Considering it's size as well, I doubt many trainers are going to come to own one.

Does Onyx technically fly then? I mean, it's obviously levitating somewhat, I think.

I could imagine at some point in this world, there'd be a few ships getting sunk due to pissed off Wailord.

Miltank would end up being factory farmed

Onix doesn't float. Not even Steelix does. Maybe with something like Magnet Rise they could, but they don't.
And of course some Pok?mon would be used for agricultural stuff.

 

[Stevey Queen]

In the anime, Brock would make the Pokemon food that looked like Kibbles n Bits, so I assume that captured Pokemon eat dog food.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Right, Onix and Steelix don't float. That's only visual stuff for things like Pokemon Stadium.

In the anime, Brock would make the Pokemon food that looked like Kibbles n Bits, so I assume that captured Pokemon eat dog food.

That was just because they can't show pokemon eating each other in the anime. It's just a creative alternative so they can keep their ratings stable. Again I'll say, anime canon is just anime canon. It has it's own version of the pokemon world. The main series games don't share any canon with it, or any of the other games.

and in a real life situation, I don't think artificial food is going to cut it.

So how does Onyx move?

 

[AndyB]

So how does Onyx move?

Think how a snake would. Just... massive, and leaving the ground all upturned.

 

[Prof Gallows]

So how does Onyx move?

..like a snake? lol

since you know.. Onix is a rock snake pokemon.. =p

Also like a snake, it spins it's head like a drill to dig underground.

 

[AndyB]

Would anyone be interested in doing a Pok?mon Elite Four/Battle Frontier type showdown. Having a few select "champions" for others to challenge and prove they're a master. Just an idea I'd have.

 

[Prof Gallows]

We attempted to do something similar to this a while back, but it never got off the ground because there were too many people involved in the process.

It'd be fun if we could get it going though. Would pass time until the new games, or at least until New Leaf is out.

 

[Juicebox]

I'd love to do that, but I know I wouldn't make it too far. :/. I love these games, but I'm really not good at them. I'd still try to participate though for the fun.

But would we have Smogon rules in place? Because I'd prefer it if we had our own rules in place instead of following the current competitive tier listings.

 

[Prof Gallows]

No no. Smogon is more for really serious competitive players. Our thing is for fun, and is only directed at TBT members.

I forget how long ago it was, a few years. We(Andy and I) started up a TBT Pokemon League, which consisted of eight gym leaders and an elite four. It was chaos. People got really excited for it, got their positions, and then didn't do anything.

There were all sorts of things planned for it, like custom badges and things. But again, it never got off the ground. An Elite 4 seems easier because we already have half of the four. We'd just need two people who want to be part of it, and who don't mind using a specific type team. But we'd also need people who want to battle us, and that's where it gets complicated.
Our league last year went pretty well though, with a few bumps. So maybe this will have good results too?

I'd have to be a battler because I'm not good at type specialty teams, but if you need people to battle, sign me up. I'd also help organizing in any way that I can.

 

[Prof Gallows]

It's still just an idea right now, and it's pretty late in the day so a lot of people aren't going to see it. Especially since this post I'm writing currently will be the last post for this page.

But yeah. If anyone wants to apply for the elite 4, or if you want to battle, just say so. If there are enough people who want to play, we'll actually start it up. The league had a good bit of people, and that was for HG/SS.

If you want to battle us, it's more for bragging rights if you win.
Not to brag myself, but I have a pretty intense team being set up for this. ;]

 

[oath2order]

I'd join it. Once we get the new games, that is. I haven't played the new ones enough to know what to do >.>

Gallows, are you an EV trainer?

 

[Prof Gallows]

Yup. I don't EV train all of my pokemon, but the ones I keep in my team I do, yes.

and yeah, Andy mentioned that maybe we should just wait until X and Y.
We planned on doing a League or something similar to it every year, but we didn't expect the new gen to come so quickly. So if this is something that people want to wait for, then we'll wait.

 

[oath2order]

I'd be glad to take on the role of a Gym Leader or two if needed, when the time comes and if you want someone who will gladly help out.

 

[Prof Gallows]

If you want, head over to the group thread and put in an application.

That way it'll be there so we can see it, where it won't get pushed back. It was easier to mention it here though, so people would see it. lol

But yes. If people want to wait until X and Y, no problem in waiting.

 

[oath2order]

If my friend isn't deployed yet when X and Y are released, I think I'll be able to get him as a challenger. He's a competitive battler.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Sounds good. I'm not too competitive myself, but I've been into some competitions and know how serious some people can be. lol
