Scheduling

I‘ve been told that several people are planning to host games, so to avoid any problems like people cutting into each other‘s game signups and other things we may need a schedule of games.

For anyone who plans to host a game, you can either write in this thread for what month/day you‘re planning a game or edit it in the schedule yourself if you can.

Note that there‘s no limit to how many games can be had per month, but try not to have 2 games running at the same time.

MG Schedule 2023

Sign-ups!

To everyone who usually plays MG or those that don‘t want to miss signups, we‘re testing a new way to alert everyone to a new game instead of mass tags before each game.

All you have to do is go to >>this thread<< and press Watch on the top corner of the thread. I or a host will post there and notify everyone like this whenever a new game starts.

MG Scheduling

[Original Post]

While hosting overall isn't necessarily hard, it's very easy to mess things up as we have seen plenty of times already. This naturally happens more often with newer hosts.

In order to get these new hosts familiar with how the game works behind the scenes and make it a smoother experience for everyone (no one wants a cancelled game!), we are establishing these sets of rules that follow the methods that have been used in the last 50 games:

-If it's your first time hosting, it's MANDATORY to have the help of someone that has hosted before. As long as they aren't banned, it doesn't matter if this person hosted twenty times or just once. This experienced host will be the "Main Host", while the new one assumes the role of "co-host".
-Tasks will be split in a rather equal manner so that the Main Host can keep things in check while the Co-host gets hands-on experience to learn properly.
-The Main Host has the final say when it comes to decisions (ideally, this won't need to be enforced heavily, it's mostly to avoid possible issues).

Once the game is over, the co-host can host on their own and even take the role of "experienced host" for a new host in need!

Eh if she was an old man no one would care about her (oh wait). No wonder all her fanart has exaggerated bust size.

Despite this no one in his team resists fire and most have shit spd. Shit, his ace is weak to it.

Leon :residentsleeper

"The dragonites he cheated to get are weak". Weird counterargument to say he's strong but aight. Also no, ice beam goes brrr.

Smell ya later.

Garchomp go BRRR. Plus lady bits aside, she's such a good champion she also pops up in Black/White for a surprise battle

One of the better built teams amongst the champions

Hardy said:

Aggron is neutral to fire, one stone edge and blammo. Black 2/White 2 he has Archeops (Rock/Flying) which can resist fire types and blap them. ORAS rematch saw him use Aerodactyl. So yes, he can resist fire types and counter them

Hardy said:
Leon

Gigantamax Charizard looked cool but he's a meh champion. Would still whoop Alder though.

Hardy said:

3 dragonites are a meme and not even his strongest team canonically. Depending on what games you want to go for, be it HGSS or B2W2 Lance has Pokemon between both that more than handle Alder's best line-ups. Throughout the games Pokemon like Dragonite, Kingdra, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Charizard (Mega Zard X in Let's Go) to name a few, Alder can't handle that.

Hardy said:

Still one of the best champions with a lot of checks and balances to handle all challengers well. Plus he has the best champion theme

Cynthia and Lance get DESTROYED by an ice-cream. Tfw you have to avoid using Lance's (and Steven's) main team but the one he uses in Alder's (better) generation.

Aggron literally gets ohko by volcarona.

Leon :residentsleeper

After getting slammed left and right by Red (5 times? 6?) Blue is champion for like 4 minutes. Amazing. Meanwhile the league ASKS Alder to be their champion.

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 1, 2022, Original Post Date: Jan 1, 2022 ---

"The reason Alder carries more than six Poké Balls with him is because, according to an interview with Yusuke Ohmura and Ken Sugimori in a 2010 article of the Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, he never figured out to to operate the Pokémon Storage System."

Bwahahaha I love this dude.

Cynthia has Lucario which with both fighting and steel typing counters the ice-cream. That's DPPt for you, Glaceon also resists if you look at BW/B2W2. Milotic also resists so again, Cynthia does not.

Lance is weaker to the ice type but again his Charizard acts as a hard counter to it. Gyarados and Kingdra are neutral to it so it's not absolutely over for him.

Regardless of generation they're better. I can also make the case of Cynthia's team from BDSP being more than enough to take on Alder with there being a big level gap.
