Today marks the day in which the Gym League finally opens. Throughout the course of the past few weeks, you all have been updated with various instructions and mechanics that the League will follow, thus, it is pointless to go over them here again. What should be told, however, are the new additions!

1-Events & Tournaments

The Gym League Administration decided to spice up the battles within the League by introducing special events and challenging tournaments.

Events are occasions which both gym leaders and challengers participate in. These events occur every two or three months and last for one month. In an event, the Gym League runs normally, but with few rules changed. A little peak to what these changed rules could be: certain Pokémon can be used; certain type(s) can be used; certain style of battling can be used.

Tournaments are different. Gym Leaders will be the only ones to participate in those. The point of these tournaments is to determine any changes in the ranking of the gym leaders. In other words, a current gym leader, who possibly has a low rank, has the opportunity to go up the hierarchy system by proving his strength against stronger gym leaders.

More information will be provided in a separate thread.

2-Elite Four


The new project we promised.

The Elite Four is an extension to the gym leaders we already have. However, these four members will not be chosen in the normal way; applications and such. Instead, we decided to use a much better method: the first four members to defeat all eight gym leaders have the right to become the Elite Four. So... I guess you better start right now!

Remember, the League is for all members. You don't have to be competitive battlers to participate. This League is much simpler and has been made to mirror the one in the games.

Good luck to all challengers!

All sign-ups for becoming a gym leader are closed currently. The only case I can think of when there will be a chance to sign up to be a gym leader is if a Gym Leader decides to resign their position. Otherwise, you can always attempt to become an Elite 4 member. The first 4 people who make it through the Gym League have the liberty of becoming part of the Official Victory Road Elite 4. ^^

Then you just have a higher chance of winning, because that's what competitive teams are made to do. I'm not a particularly competitive person when it comes to Pokémon battling, I just happen to know the mechanics, what separates strong from weak, and I like to have fun with it. And lookie what happened.

Awesome.

Looks like I'm going to be training hard, then.
