heh, it's just as I feared... One internet battle system would become more dominant than the other... It happened to be shoddy to boot... I agree with the, "cheating" xxashxx mentioned, but it also accounts for laziness and bordem... (40% laziness 60% bordem) Hopefully things will pick back up once HG SS arrives. I'm sure Wi-Fi will pick up it's value a bit. And I also fear that ShadowG might just drop this thing entirely @.@ That's my personal paranoia lol.
All that aside, you're all really trying to keep this alive, and the ideas are great, it's just when we post them... It's far and in between and those posts get overlooked most of the time. Regaurding the shop, I've been thinking and, what do you need in order to run that thing? I'm getting tired of hearing (reading) well if the shop was open blah, blah, blah.... but I don't have the time or this or whatever... Look just tell me what's needed to run it, and I'll see if I can adapt to the situation and learn how to run it. Don't expect too much though!!! I'm totally going in with no experience what so ever.
And the inner-clan tourny, might actually work... But just for bragging rights and to help keep our senses sharp and our style in check. Heck we can even theme it if we wanted to. I'm not talking about OU, BL, UU... nah like type themes, or certian evolution themes... Heck! even have a battle with pokemon who don't evolve! Now that would be something xD
Those are my ideas tossed onto the table. I'll just wait and see what the latter says when it has been scrutinized for a period of time.
