I’m just wondering if this is something other people would be interested in joining with me? If I get enough replies on this thread, I’ll post a provisional tier list and we can go from there! <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_1" />]]></description>

 <br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hey, everybody! <span style="font-weight: bold;">It's 0kamii</span>, and I haven't made a [BATTLE REQUEST] thread in quite some time!<br />
<br />
Since I had a ton of fun using my <a href="http://pokemonforever.com/Thread-VGC-Battle-0kamii-s-1st-Place-Emolga-Team" target="_blank">1st place Emolga team</a> in a battle request thread last year, <span style="font-weight: bold;">I thought it'd be more fun to do a theme build and put it to the public</span> to see if any of y'alls wanted to throw down against a very non-standard composition. Now as the title suggests, <span style="font-weight: bold;">this team is comprised entirely of mons that are based (or loosely based) on creatures and gods from Aztec mythology</span>. I adopted Nahuatl anthropology in college as an independent study, and rarely does a culture enamor me the way these warriors have. Below is a list of all the deities and icons I've incorporated into my team, and yes, before you ask, <span style="font-weight: bold;">there is ONE legendary on my team</span>. So feel free to bring one of your own should you want to battle.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1) Quetzalcoatl - The Feathered-serpent</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Quetzalcoatl.svg" width="209" height="300" border="0" alt="[Image: Quetzalcoatl.svg]" /><br />
God of Wind, Snakes, the West, and the Morning Star</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;">2) The ahuizotl - the fifth-handed monkey</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.mexicolore.co.uk/images-3/339_06_2.jpg" width="349" height="300" border="0" alt="[Image: 339_06_2.jpg]" /><br />
Creature known for its savage ways and trickery</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3) Xolotl - the dog of the underworld</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/the-demonic-paradise/images/2/27/Xolotl.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161207175939" width="250" height="300" border="0" alt="[Image: latest?cb=20161207175939]" /><br />
God of dogs, lightning, and the sunset</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;">4) Cuauhtli - the Eagle warrior</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Signo_Cuauhtli.svg" width="193" height="193" border="0" alt="[Image: Signo_Cuauhtli.svg]" /><br />
High caliber warriors of the king venerated more than the Ocelotl (Jaguar warriors)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">5) Mexica - Empire of the Sun</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b1/1479_Stein_der_fünften_Sonne%2C_sog._Aztekenkalender%2C_Ollin_Tonatiuh_anagoria.JPG" border="0" alt="[Image: 1479_Stein_der_fünften_Sonne%2C_sog._Azt...agoria.JPG]" /><br />
A classic name for the once Aztec Empire, known today as the descendants of the Toltecs</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: medium;">6) Tlaloc - god of Rain</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_C0B0C7RtHsU/TVRewxjQMCI/AAAAAAAAAxI/5auOfhyJvjg/Tlaloc.jpg" width="308" height="300" border="0" alt="[Image: Tlaloc.jpg]" /><br />
Sometimes depicted as an amphibian in mortal form, associated with rain, crops, and fertility</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">These are the six icons that will be your opponents. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I've laced clues as to who their in-game counterparts are in their descriptions</span>, and I hope that you all feel a like challenging my pantheon. Mainly because there are prizes available! <span style="font-weight: bold;">The first person to successfully topple my Aztec team</span> will receive a Mega stone of their choice, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">the second</span> will have their choice of a BP item from the Battle Tree. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Third</span> will receive either a Flame Orb or Toxic Orb.<br />
<br />
Happy battling, everyone! <span style="font-weight: bold;">I look forward to all the shenanigans</span> that we'll have with our Mesoamerican friends!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for reading, everyone! Battle onwards, friends!<br />
<br />

<br />
P.S. My timezone is EST, and the battle style in 4 v 4 Doubles. Engage at your own peril...</span> <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" class="smilie smilie_5" /></div>]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Wonder Trading To Victory!! - Wonder Battles]]></title>
			<link>http://pokemonforever.com/Thread-FUN-Wonder-Trading-To-Victory-Wonder-Battles</link>
			<pubDate>Sun, 11 Feb 2018 04:02:49 -0800</pubDate>
			<guid isPermaLink="false">http://pokemonforever.com/Thread-FUN-Wonder-Trading-To-Victory-Wonder-Battles</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wonder Trade Battles!!!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">So, after 1 week I received 8 yes votes and 0 no votes for starting a wonder battle thread so let's get this started! This is a format of battles where anything could be involved, from a freshly hatched magikarp to a Battle Bonded Greninja. Anyone can participate so feel welcome to join in, experience is definitely not required!</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><img src="https://image.ibb.co/hX2jLc/victini_trade.jpg" width="600" height="357" border="0" alt="[Image: victini_trade.jpg]" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Participation is simple, if you want to have a battle, Issue a <del>post</del> challenge on this thread and wait for your rival to arrive, don't forget we have a discord where you can meet to connect and battle as after the challenge is declared you can communicate much quicker there. For an explanation as to 'what is wonder battling?' This explanation should suffice: The wonder battle is a format of battling whereby trainers wondertrade 6 Pokémon and use the recieved Pokémon from these trades as their battle team. Overall wonder battling is simple yet highly unpredictable so you don't need to be a big fan of competitive battling knowing all of the current strategies in order to participate, making this great for players new to competitive battling!  <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Big Grin" class="smilie smilie_4" />  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Rules:</span></span></span></span></div>
<ol type="1">
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You must use the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> first 6 Pokémon</span> you receive (even if you get a magikarp!)</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You may not use legendaries or mythical Pokémon obtained in battle (Trade for another Pokémon)</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You may not have 2 of the same species of Pokémon, re-trade as necessary</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">No EV training, changing moves or changing held items</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">Levels must be set to 50</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">The battle mode should be set to Singles Battle</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You must use a new team for every ranked battle (friendly rematches are fine)</span></span><br />
</li></ol>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Rankings:</span></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">Although this is not meant to be majorly competitive due to the random nature of wonder trades I am proposing to keep a record of win percentages on the thread. To have your matches added to the ranking one user must upload a replay of the battle video and post the code for the battle replay on this thread. For those of you unfamiliar with uploading battle videos, here is a link to a YouTube tutorial <a href="https://image.ibb.co/hX2jLc/victini_trade.jpg" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrMLxGJDnzQ.</a><br />
<br />
Once the ranking pick up I will use the post below to show the top trainers for the month as well as long term ranks and hopefully in the near future I will be able to introduce prizes for those who reach the top rank!</span></span><br />
 <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Well, that's all from me for now. Good luck and may your trades bring you <del>Victini</del> Victory !!!</span></span></span></span></div>]]></description>

This explanation should suffice: The wonder battle is a format of battling whereby trainers wondertrade 6 Pokémon and use the recieved Pokémon from these trades as their battle team. Overall wonder battling is simple yet highly unpredictable so you don't need to be a big fan of competitive battling knowing all of the current strategies in order to participate, making this great for players new to competitive battling!  <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Big Grin" class="smilie smilie_4" />  </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Rules:</span></span></span></span></div>
<ol type="1">
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You must use the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> first 6 Pokémon</span> you receive (even if you get a magikarp!)</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You may not use legendaries or mythical Pokémon obtained in battle (Trade for another Pokémon)</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You may not have 2 of the same species of Pokémon, re-trade as necessary</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">No EV training, changing moves or changing held items</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">Levels must be set to 50</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">The battle mode should be set to Singles Battle</span></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">You must use a new team for every ranked battle (friendly rematches are fine)</span></span><br />
</li></ol>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Rankings:</span></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;">Although this is not meant to be majorly competitive due to the random nature of wonder trades I am proposing to keep a record of win percentages on the thread. To have your matches added to the ranking one user must upload a replay of the battle video and post the code for the battle replay on this thread. For those of you unfamiliar with uploading battle videos, here is a link to a YouTube tutorial <a href="https://image.ibb.co/hX2jLc/victini_trade.jpg" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrMLxGJDnzQ.</a><br />
<br />
Once the ranking pick up I will use the post below to show the top trainers for the month as well as long term ranks and hopefully in the near future I will be able to introduce prizes for those who reach the top rank!</span></span><br />
 <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;"><span style="color: #0000CD;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Well, that's all from me for now. Good luck and may your trades bring you <del>Victini</del> Victory !!!</span></span></span></span></div>]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/blush.gif" alt="Blush" title="Blush" class="smilie smilie_12" /><br />
I'm looking for a practise partner for the Spooky tournament <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/blush.gif" alt="Blush" title="Blush" class="smilie smilie_12" /><br />
Someone who wouldn't mind helping me out to test teams and theorycraft on what's likely to be good strategies and Pokemon.<br />
Would be good if you yourself aren't planning to participate in the tournament, but if we aren't facing off in the first round then that might work still <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/blush.gif" alt="Blush" title="Blush" class="smilie smilie_12" /><br />
Showdown is probably the easiest place to practise because of not having to breed mons.<br />
How many times and how often depends on IRL stuff and such, probably wont need much time.<br />
Hope someone's up for it  <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/blush.gif" alt="Blush" title="Blush" class="smilie smilie_12" />]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey, everybody! <span style="font-weight: bold;">It's 0kamii</span>, and yes you read that right. I'm taking battle requests for the first time!<br />
 <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/pokeimages/gen5/emolga.png" border="0" alt="[Image: emolga.png]" /></div>
<br />
Please keep in mind that by posting this, <span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm opening my team up to battle and merriment, NOT scrutiny</span>. My intention is to battle and have fun show casing an unorthorodox team, not to try and flaunt my prowess in battle just becuase I won a tournament and I suddenly think I'm the bee's knees. Yeah, no. If that's what y'alls think, then clearly you guys don't know me well enough yet. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Yes, I won a tournament with this team, but it's far from perfect</span>. Also, and I know this should go without saying, but <span style="font-weight: bold;">please try not to analyze my team through the post I made about it</span>. That's not strategy, that's cheating. <img src="http://pokemonforever.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" class="smilie smilie_5" /><br />
<br />
Just so you all know, myself and the rest of <span style="color: #800080;">Amethyst</span> 0<span style="color: #800080;">mega</span> are still planning our first giveaway, but <span style="font-weight: bold;">we've come across a small hiccup</span>. While we sort that out, hopefully you can all forgive me with this little distraction. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I'll be online today after 4:00pm EST</span>. Send me battle requests then and we'll get started! I'll also update this post with some of my favorite skirmishes. My FC is to the left. Leave yours below with your battle invitation.<br />
<br />
I hope we all have a blast! Read you all soon, and let's get battling!<br />
