Some of you may have seen the previous Community Team, seen here. While it didn't end well, I thought it was a marvelous idea that deserved to come back. It just needed to be given some more structure.
The Community Team
The Community Team can be broken into 5 steps.
The first step is the easiest step. As a group of battlers, we decide what Pokemon the team will be built around. Posting sets is greatly encouraged, as is suggesting underrated Pokemon. Please be sure to have substance in your posts as we don't want spam here. Once suggestions stop coming, a vote will be done.
Secondly, the playstyle is selected. The playstyle should help the key Pokemon perform better (so putting Blissey on a hyper offensive team isn't a great idea). Again, once activity slows down, a vote will be held.
Thirdly, the teammates are chosen upon. This is where we look at synergy, as well as the playstyle. As you could guess, once activity slows down, another vote will be done.
The fourth step is the testing phase. This is when we get ourselves onto Pokemon Online and test out the team. We discover how the team works in action, and report our findings in this thread. This is the most important phase.
Lastly, we discuss some things that could be changed, and then it is posted as a top quality RMT.
I'm excited to see what you guys can do with this project. This should be a fun, educating and entertaining experience for us all. And with that, let this begin.
