I am so far behind. **** me. Sorry: Starbound is at fault

Do you guys think I should change the gym battling to allow double super effective stuff? Would that make it better?

At the moment, it's either super effective or not super effective.

So Bulbasaur (Grass/Poison) vs Geodude (Rock/Ground) = a draw because they each have at least one type super effective against the other.

The issue is when you have a situation where Bulbasaur is against for example Graveler...

Bulbasaur (Grass/Poison, basic) vs Graveler (Rock/Ground, middle)

basic vs middle = graveler advantage
grass vs rock = bulbasaur advantage
grass vs ground = bulbasaur advantage
ground vs poison = graveler advantage
rock vs poison = no advantage

So in this case it would be a draw. But is that too complicated? xD

Hm… I don't know to what purpose that would serve. Like I get that say grass is double effective against something like geodude but other than that knowledge what else would it do?

I dunno, everyone just seems really confused. xD I mean it would make some Pokemon more powerful cos eyah like Bulbasaur could then defeat Geodude and Tentacruel could then defeat Onix. But it works both ways because it can make your own Pokemon more powerful but the gym's Pokemon are also more powerful, so in the end it probably doesn't make much difference in that regard. I just want it to make sense and be simple for people D:

Yeah no I get your point. I say leave it how it is. Once corrected it's simple enough to remember everything.

It seems pretty simple to me. Its just a numbers game. Plus one for an advantage, Minus one for an opposing advantage/disadvantage.

I mean, people can remember things like that for all the types for the actual pokemon games after all.

@Pokemon Trainer Sarah - just wondering if there are pokemon in the Sun and Moon category... Since I'm avoiding spoilers, I don't want to click on anything in there. :<

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Yikes I have a lot to update xD Sorry guys, I usually get this done at uni, but I've been so busy ;_;

I will try and get everything up to date tonight, as well as get the next team challenge up so we can start wrapping up the event :)

*Hisses at the words "Wrapping up this event"*

Just a question, but at the end of the event, is there going to be any way for users to battle each other, since evolutions are so personalized that each person practically has their own team? A tournament maybe?

I'm totally open to all ideas and happy to incorporate more things into the event! Just send me a PM with any ideas :) Battles against each other could be fun, we can definitely try that!
