Proposal: Stat League?

With the limited availability of Gyms, I've been thinking of some creative original League ideas. They may not be necessary, thanks to the Dojo League and the inevitable Isshu League, but I thought I'd put one of my ideas out there, in case it's interesting enough to implement.

The idea is simple: A league of 6 Gyms, each of which, instead of representing one of the elemental types, represents one of the six stats of Pokemon: HP, ATK, DEF, S.ATK, S.DEF, and SPD.

The requirements for Pokemon for each Gym Leader would be simple: Every Pokemon of the SPD Gym Leader would have to have a Base Speed of 120 or more. Looking at a list of Pokemon by Base Stats, the 120 Standard would work for all Stats (with the possible exception of HP).

In any case, it's just an idea I had. It's up to the community to praise it or shoot it down, and up to the staff to decide if it's even warranted.

 

I wouldn't mind this as I had my own idea with Weather league and stuff like that.

 

I like the idea except for the HP one. It wouldn't give much variety, suince the star player there would be Blissey no matter what. But the other stats could be implemented nicely.

 

I would definitley take part in this, it sounds very cool

 

I've been thinking about this kinda thing too, though not a Stats league cause I doubt I'd ever think of that, but was actually wondering if the Frontier was gonna be added. I really like the idea though, its unique ^^

 

Uhm... limited? There are 37 actual gyms in all (8 from each region and 4 orange island, and the chapion) and for you bmgers there are 15 dojos, so in all that's 52 optional gym/dojo's for you guys. How is that limited? If you look there are gyms that are open, and I think a dojo might be open too. Also with the Isshu region coming out that's another 8 more gyms. Another league I think would be too much, maybe they can have one AFTER the dojo league is over and done with. The idea is cool, but it's just too much.

 

While I do think this is a cool idea, it would probably be better not to do it right now. No offense to anyone, but I don't think you guys are ready quite yet to have a gym where pe2kers can battle you. I also think it'd be better if the current lineup of gyms in place could get dedicated leaders, rather than gym hoppers.

 

Why not turn it into a tourney type proposal thing x_x

 

Sorry, limited was the wrong word. I'm mainly thinking about the future... As more BMGers gain more experience, I predict we'll see a situation where there are quite a few Gym Leader-worthy members that can't even hope for a gym due to those positions being filled by PE2Kers.

So this isn't so much an immediate proposal, but the longer the idea has to develop, the easier it will be to implement if it becomes viable.

 

People come and go. There are some gyms that could easily be replaced by the more skilled BMGers right now and tbh whenever there are activity checks for gyms, I don't really think some people are very active cause you could come on once every 2 weeks, and that's not really active. So yeah, if you BMGer want a gym and think you're skilled enough for it, challenge the leader for ownership.

And lemme quote myself from before too..

 

What is the stat thing, like what was in Petalburg gym? I don't really remember it that well but I know the gym trainers had something to do with stats...

I'd love for extra stuff like that to be added as long as it relates to the games, it's not like gyms don't get a little old since they are all type-based.

Perhaps it could be a tourney thing, lots of creative tourneys are nice.

Props for my first post in like a month too! :bounce:

 

The tournament idea does seem nice, for a couple of reasons. It would allow this idea to come to fruition, even if a League is never established. Also, it will be a good test to see if such a League would be fun/successful.

In short, I would find a tourney more than acceptable. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Wanna explain how this would work as a tourney? :mallet:

 

Still working on that... XP

Worst case scenario, it gets made into something similar to the Dojo League. Biggest problem with that, though, is that there are 16 Dojos, and only 6 Stats...

 

My form of a tourney idea would be different from his probably My idea would be like you need a mon who specializes in one stat so you have a team of 6 each specializing in one stat. For the people who are less experienced, they could just rent a mon with tms/a bm and yeah.

 

People don't like finishing tourneys they are in...:sad:

I think part of the problem is that it's a team tournament, getting more people online at the same time is always more difficult. I think a non-team tournament would probably work better (not that I think the Team Wars Tournament was a bad idea).

 

I think the doctor is right on the money; having unique tournaments is sure to garner at least some interest, y'know? Personally, I'd love to see more tournaments in general; FFAs have a completely separate strategy that just doesn't fire up the blood like a pure competition of skills. (not that I have any to speak of.)

 

FFAs have strategy?

The NU tournament ended a few weeks ago, and the World Cup one ended not long before that. There's one currently going on now so I don't see the need for another tournament at this time.

No, but there might be a need for it in the future. Wouldn't it be a better idea to get everything hammered out before it's needed?
