    Congratulations to our winner arandomtool and thanks Neo for the delightful work from the banners to the battles and guiding the game along with Chakramaster, if I'm not mistaking?
    Was good fun and hope a second version will come, that won't last as less long as this one xD

    I feel a sort of pride for tool. Well researched, and the rng was definitely on his side. Shows just how good the typing is.

    Great display, everyone.

    Well played by all, to be fair, I feel like I played a little dirty with my super-defensive lineups. Y'all didn't see it, but I chose Mega Swampert because of the whole "Only one Super Effective type" thing too.

    Except that one squished.

    Revert me to a Lucario for now, though I would like to *humbly* request a Avatar/Banner set for the Nicklefool account I'll be creating eventually. Maybe use him to post in the next round of Stalkers rather than this.

    Great matches and thanks for joining everyone! It may have gone over WAAAAY longer than we ever thought it would, but man it's been a blast! IF DBR2 ever happens. There will need to be a way to adjust and make it much shorter. Every action seen here will be taken into account. Thanks for making it what it was. Hopefully we will see how things go over the next year or so. Hope everyone had fun in this game! And thanks for all the hard work and amazing stuff you fluffed out Neo!
    You look WAAAAAY better as Pikachu again. XD Goodness, I PROMISE my Wheel won't be such a suckfest next time around.

    And hey, no prob! It was great and it's nice to have another game/event.

    Hey, no problem! Some of these Wheel results sure ended up with some crazy as heck results, but they were fun to crank out! And using the themes and stuff was cool too. :3

    Yeah, I hope DBR2, if it ends up being a thing, goes much faster.

    Yeah, that dude knew what was up and how to use it to his full advantage. Makes me wonder what kind of strategy he's going to try for DBR2. It's going to be quite different next time.

    Hey, dirty but legal. I can't say doing the same thing is going to help you for DBR2, though. Let's just say you inspired some counter-measures that are going to appear in that one. ;P

    And ugh, sorry, but you're on your own for that one. I just can't stand Mr Mime and Nicklefool was originally supposed to be a Pokemonized parody of Pennywise the clown.

    Make one for Bless the Eevee instead. :P

    You know...it's kinda funny how the two that chose Mega Swampert to start ended up in the finals too....

    The time is upon us...

    Hey, Neo, did you use the same "Time to battle" banner for each season? As in, the same link?

    If so, there were 100 battles hosted by you between November 18, 2018 and February 20th, 2019.

    Not finding any battle posts from Chakra or from past February 20th, though.

    I only had two battle posts I believe. Not many as compared to Neo. Both took place after February.

    Anyway, congrats Tool for winning the first ever DBR game! (Feels like my first ever PSG. Coming in second place for my first ever game....even if this is a new game we created).

    And yeah @arnisd Neo and I kinda worked on it together. An idea I pitched to Neo once and he loved the idea. Mechanics are something he whipped up and then a few general adjustments here and there. Neo did do an amazing job on all the incredible banners and avatars that got handed out. Major props to him for that!

    If that's the case, then there were 104 in total. 100 by me, 2 by Chakra, and then 2 by Aglome Oen. Because those two had a special header. :P

    Yeah, the whole thing started with us thinking of ways to goof around with the whole Victini V-Wheel thing and make more of a game out of it. Charka added the whole devolution into an egg idea and I was the one who implemented the silly battle system. And it seemed to work pretty well during play testing, but then of course the whole thing with so many normal-type moves hitting ghosts slipped through the cracks. I thought ghosts would have had the problem of throwing ghost moves at normal types so it would have been balanced, but that didn't happen very much. :P

    My thoughts on how to speed DBR2 up:

    1. Everyone starts with only 7 stages to allocate into Lineups instead of 10, unless you pick the Compensator Trait, which gives you 10 like old times. Moreover, picking a Steel or Rock type costs you 2 stages for each stage of evolution because of their damage reflection against Normal type moves. Picking ghost types will cost you 3 stages each. So if you want that Gastly > Haunter > Gengar Lineup, that's going to cost you 9 stages. VERY expensive. I didn't want to ban ghost types entirely, but this time, it'll cost ya! Choose wisely. :3
    2. Team play will ensure that the game ends when only one team remains rather than just one player. So that should almost cut the time in half right there. Of course teammates will be trying to keep their teammates alive, but there can only be so much of that before resources run out for them!
    3. Evolution will be limited, so you won't have people evolving and devolving back and forward forever. That'll speed things up because once you run out of Evolution Stones, you can't evolve again unless you scrap stages of a current Lineup or a teammate gives you theirs. Therefore, more devolves more often.
    4. Inclusion of Double and Triple Battles will not only make things more interesting, but it'll shave off more stages in less time. You'll have more people getting devolved more often.


    Also, fun fact. In DBR2, you can potentially get thrown into your own Wheel and even Wheel yourself once for free! So don't be too harsh with it this time. Make it more fun and silly and less "absolutely sucky" like I did with mine. >;P

    I retried the search, because I knew that on the same page as the 2/20 battle there was a 2/21 battle, but limited the search to 3 months and newer, so that it would take a couple pages off. There were a total of 84 posts with that banner in that search, 22 of which were included in the 100 from before, adding 62 to the previous total.

    So:
    162 from Neo
    2 from Chakra
    2 from Aglome

    Total of 166 battles.
