GIFT POKEMON RULES

Freebies: [ STARTER ] [ FOSSIL Pokemon ] [ WYNAUT counts for wherever you hatch it ] [ CASTFORM ]

GYM GAUNTLET

-Gym Level Caps are in effect!

-You may ONLY take as many Pokemon as the gym leader has into the gauntlet-- this includes gym challenges you can walk away from before completing (as seen in later gyms).

1 [ Rustboro: Level 15 (3 Pokemon!)

2 [ Dewford: 19 (4 Pokemon!)

3 [ Mauville: 24 (4 Pokemon!) *with a TWIST

4 [ Lavaridge: 29 (4 Pokemon!)

5 [ Petalburg: 31 (4 Pokemon!)

6 [ Fortree: 33 (5 Pokemon!) *You're stuck with what you brought in Round 1; if you lose any, put them away before continuing with your remaining Round 1 Pokemon.

7 [ Mossdeep: 42 (6 Pokemon) *Since the whole gym is a series of MANY full-team Double Battles, you may bring 6 Pokemon, even though Tae & Liz only have 4 altogether.

8 [ Sootopolis: 46 (4 Pokemon) *with a TWIST. Juanito is a REAL force to be reckoned with: so just because you're through the bulk of the run, do NOT drop your guard. You'll see what I mean.

9 [ Champion: 58 (6 Pokemon! Full Party!)

10 [ Meteor Falls Post-Game Fight: 78 (6 Pokemon! Full Party!)

-Rare Candies are ALLOWED for this Challenge

-Party wipe is not the end of the run. Run ends upon losing EVERY Pokemon!! (Reset if you want tho I'm not your mom).

To quote the creator:

I’m considering changing how racial weapons work.

Basically, instead of only one racial weapon; there will be about 3-5 weapons which “the society or culture would likely give the character training with.” 

So, for Nafrin, it’d be Pole-Spear, Arming Sword, and maybe Javelin.

Instead of using these as a way to make each race have a unique “flavor” by making weird/unusual weapons/exotic weapons, they’ll be more informed by real life arms.

With this in mind, I’d like to hear what kind of weapons/military doctrines people think each race has.

We already know Terran are horse-warriors/archers, so their focus woudl be on calvary. 

Nafrin are more heavy infantry-focused; lines of pikemen, armored skirmishers, they treat the horses and chariots as basically troop-transports first and foremost.

Cranid are absolutely stealth and ambush-type fighters; maybe a hatchet, katar, and crossbow as their favored weapons.

I’m unsure of the Davien military strategem; I’m keeping steel bangles as one of their weapons because of it’s incredible cultural significance, to be sure.

Same goes for Avur, and Mortei; with the elemeis having similar doctrine to the Nafrin, with maybe substituting spear with claw.
