a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Your never going to get this filled this near of so many pkmn drafts. If miracle happens and you get as near as 1-3 spots away full before you run out of people you may add me to the list. Just remember to send me PM if you do as Im not going to follow the possible filling of this and will probably forget by then... Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 How about adding some competition, like the lowest time to beat the E4 wins? I think it's a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 That would be Starter solo avoiding every trainer you can, running/bikeing all the time and A spamming conversations. Unlike low turning it is pretty pointless as it comes to who is fastest in menu clicking and obstacle avoiding. Also unlike in other drafts you cant just play it easy while chatting or something.

Have fun Maybe 15 people is too much, I should probably cut it down to 12, just to make it more "possible" How about adding some competition, like the lowest time to beat the E4 wins? I think it's a good idea Should I add you to the participant list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphinox Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 What are the overall rules of a "draft"? I've never encountered one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike low turning it is pretty pointless as it comes to who is fastest in menu clicking and obstacle avoiding. Also unlike in other drafts you cant just play it easy while chatting or something. You could make a rule that you have to raise at least two pokemon besides your starter? It seems like it'd be more fun than a draft to me. It's not like the participants haven't already played the game...maybe I'm just not the type to see what there is to miss? I don't usually talk to random npcs while playing pokemon, and don't see the point in wasting time and no, don't sign me up yet unless there's some competition Edited April 9, 2011 by Xander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyDownTheStreet Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 What are the overall rules of a "draft"? I've never encountered one before. Well in a pokemon draft you say which pokemon you want to use for an entire playthrough, and throughout that playthrough you are only to use those pokemon you have drafted. They are somewhat more fun for Fire Emblem. You could make a rule that you have to raise at least two pokemon besides your starter? It seems like it'd be more fun than a draft to me.

I don't usually talk to random npcs while playing pokemon, and don't see the point in wasting time and no, don't sign me up yet unless there's some competition What about something like highest level pokemon without grinding. Or maybe something related to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphinox Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 @ThatGuyDownTheStreet Thanks for that man, makes sense. When do you plan to start, I might join depending on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyDownTheStreet Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 @ThatGuyDownTheStreet Thanks for that man, makes sense. When do you plan to start, I might join depending on that... All drafts start when there are enough participants. For most drafts I've seen, there has been no problem with this. I guess maybe choosing Pokemon Platinum wasn't such a great idea...

a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Im still saying there cant be working competition in pkmn draft as fanbase dont have the same efficent thing going on as in FE... And highest not grinded pkmn = Starter solo Lowest amount of pkmn center uses wins most money left, Vs seeker banned Edited April 9, 2011 by Sho.M.the.Money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyDownTheStreet Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 What about a point system based on levels. For example, if had 2 pokemon at level 71, 3 pokemon at 65, and my last at 75, I would have 412 points. This would eliminate starter solos. No grinding would be allowed. Thoughts?

Jaybee Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'd grind to level 100. Also, I'll join in only if it's not competitive. Pokemon drafts aren't supposed to be a competition ~_~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a fun idea to me, but don't sign me up unless there's some kind of competition involved. Playing through pokemon games for fun is really boring to me with grinding and capturing a million pokemon, even though platinum is my favorite pokemon game, if I wanted to randomly play through it I could just do it myself.

Alright, well that's your decision, if you change you can come back if there is still space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Actually adding lvs together is bad because pkmn need different amounts exp for their lvs. If we would base on added lvs then legendaries, Low exp needing pkmns and trades would have too major lead... I still say this dont work as competive draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyDownTheStreet Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 I think I'm just going to close this draft, seeing that there is few people who want to participate. I think I'm going to make another draft but of R/S/E instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
