ASB Approval Tower

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

The Approval Tower

Welcome to the Approval Tower: your first step in starting out in ASB! Please read the following rules carefully and don't be afraid to ask a Moderator if you are confused. Although we eat children, you shouldn't fear us.

Rules

• You may start out with ONLY 4 pokémon (lowest level only: Charmander, Hoothoot, Spheal, Skorupi, etc.)
  
  • Two of your four starter pokémon must have the ability to evolve (Ex: Farfetch'd, Tauros, Cubone, Staryu).
  • There are a select set of rare pokémon that cannot be a part of your starting team. They include the following:
    
    • Legendary pokémon of any kind, Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Dratini, Larvitar, Lileep, Anorith, Beldum, Bagon, Cranidos, Sheildon, Gible, Tirtouga, Archen, Deino, Tyrunt, Amarua, or Goomy.
  
  
• To capture a pokémon, it will cost 2pts. You will only be able to capture basic pokémon, not including the following:
  
  • Legendary pokémon of any kind, Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Dratini, Larvitar, Lileep, Anorith, Beldum, Bagon, Cranidos, Sheildon, Gible, Tirtouga, Archen, Deino, Tyrunt, Amarua, or Goomy.
    
    • Burmy, Caterpie, Weedle, and Wurmple only require 1pt. to catch.
    
    
  • Once the catch is approved, you will not be able to change the gender or the ability of the pokémon in question!
  
  
• The point cost for evolutions is as follows:
  
  • 3pts. for a Basic to Stage 1 (Charmander to Charmeleon, etc.).
    
    • Burmy, Caterpie, Weedle, and Wurmple only require 1pt. to evolve to their Stage 1 forms.
    
    
  • 4pts. for a Stage 1 to Stage 2 (Weepinbell to Victreebel, etc.).
    
    • Coscoon, Kakuna, Metapod, and Silcoon only require 3pts. to evolve to their Stage 2 forms.
  
  
• The pokémon in question that evolves will have to have participated in at least one complete battle (or in a DQ or forfeit, more than half the battle).
  
  • Certain pokémon, however, will not require battle experience to evolve, because their movesets are so limiting. These pokémon include:
    
    • Beldum, Burmy, Caterpie, Combee, Coscoon, Kakuna, Kricketot, Magikarp, Metapod, Silcoon, Tynamo, Weedle, and Wurmple.
    
    
  • In the case of Nincada's double evolution. If you want both evolutions you must pay for both and have two different examples of experience.
  
  
• If a forfeiting has been done on purpose and said battle is used for a battle experience/point gain link, it will be deemed null.
• When you decide to evolve a pokémon, links from the bank and an experience battle need to be provided.
• When you decide to evolve a pokémon, that pokémon cannot be participating in the Safari Zone, a contest, or any battles at the moment (ex: If I wanted to evolve my Charmander into a Charmeleon but he's involved in two battles, I cannot evolve him until he's done with both matches).
• You can rename your pokémon at any time; there is no need to update the Tower whenever you do so.
  
  • Abilities, however, cannot be changed unless your pokémon is evolving or there is a specified event where this is allowed.
  • Genders cannot be changed whatsoever.

That should give you a basic idea for now. Enjoy, have fun and don't hesitate to ask any questions!

Bank transaction: http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=20130

Evolving Darius the Gastly to Darius the Haunter ^_^

[Greyfox]

Aren't you currently fighting Blade with that gastly? =3

[Concept]

New to the league, so hoping this is right:

Snorunt
Male
Tenchi

Dratini
Female
Ashe

Kangaskhan
Female
Ruth

Gastly
Male
Paddy

So if I understand it, to add more 'mon to my squad after these four I have to pay 2 points per 'mon, jah? Also, what moves are 'mon allowed to use; just those they learn in the fourth gen, or moves they learned in all gens (for example, Kanga got submission via gen 1 TM, can she use it or not)?

[Houndoom_Lover]

I figured it be over by time this was approved...that and I mindlessly went down the list of things I need to do and just did it. :L *grumbles* Someone forgot they were still in a battle. I should evolve someone today....*ponders*

[Kyuuketsuki]

Approaving Eggsies

Gligar will be named Gligarman
Phanpy and Slakoth will not be named yet

[Greyfox]

Bank: -14 points.

Now that the holiday season's nearing completion, I can finally focus on what's really important: me! For starters, I'm using the two freebies *and* the two large stones I acquired as ref rewards here and evolving the last three members of my gym team to their final forms:

> >
THE FALCONZORD
#18 Male Pidgeot

> >
TREBLE CLEF
#36 Female Clefable

>
SOVEREIGN
#395 Female Empoleon
Battle experience.

>
DRACHEKONIG
#148 Male Dragonair
Battle experience.

>
COMAR FAUST
#105 Male Marowak
Battle experience.

>
PYLL
#467 Male Magmortar
Battle experience.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Concept, sorry for being so late to approve you, but the newyear's got me busy! Approved and welcome to our community. Yes, you need two points for a new pokemon, or one point if you go via the Incubation Center (eggs). To much to explain right now, but browse through the Rules Tower and you'll get a pretty good view of this place.

Every pokemon can use every move it can learn spread across all generations. The exception is HGSS moves, those are not in use yet.

DCM, Blade, Heald, Kyuu, Grey approved.

Houndie: Yeah, wait until it gets out of that battle

Now Beldum needs 3 points to become a Metang, so here's a check for that. I think that's it.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I just bought a Small Stone at the ASB Incubation Station, of which to evolve my Cranidos, so without further ado:

Rampardos (M)

I paid for the stone here.

So am I correct in presuming that a Pokemon doesn't need experience if it evolves using a Small or Large Stone?

[DarkestLight]

Correct.

Ok, all approved.

Regarding abilities, everyone should update their VS.Seeker and add the abilities of your pokemon. Cope that text and give it a read here aswell, just to make sure that no-one switches abilities later.
