Here's something I discovered quite recently and enjoyed to watch, and that I thought could be fairly easily applied to Pokemon Uranium :
THE BOX BATTLE CHALLENGE
What it is
The Box Battle Challenge is a kind of PvP battling mode with a few major differences from the classic 6v6 that we all know. I'll explain it all in this thread.
-Players don't fight with a team that they've built. Pokémon are chosen randomly from a box full of their own competitive pokémon.
-Teams are made of three pokemon per player.
How it's going to happen
As fun as the challenge may be, it does require a bit of organization.
-Each player must post a screenshot or a link leading to a screenshot of their competitive box here on this thread before battling or even sending a battle request to another player.
-Each player then moves the pokémon around in their box without showing the new reshuffled box to anyone. Swapping a pokémon with another that was not initially in your box is not allowed. That's why I demand that everyone show the box they're going to use beforehand.
-Each player picks three numbers at random and tell them to their opponent. The numbers will determine which pokémon the opponent will have to use, based on their position in the box. We're counting with the rows, so if Player A picks 2, 16, and 24; then Player B will have to use the second mon on their first row, the fourth mon on their third row, and the last mon on their fourth row.
This is all in good fun. Of course "teams" will end up being odd and bad most of the time. That's the point. Players are expected to go by the rules and not cheat, ie using your strongest mons regardless of the random drawing from your opponent is killing the fun. No one can verify if you do use the mons you're supposed to, but you are expected to be a fair play, otherwise there's no point in playing this game to begin with.
-Restrictions : Duplicates of the same pokémon species are allowed as long as they run drastically different sets. Remember that everyone will be able to see the box you submit, so anyone can ask you to make some changes if they feel that the 14 Nucleons you intend to use are ruining the fun.
No other restrictions.
To keep this thread clean
Please use the following forms. I insist that both MUST be used to make things easier for everyone.
Box display form :
Online ID : ___
Trainer ID : ___
Box : enclosed in attachment / screenshot inserted in the post / link to a screenshot of the box. [Choose]
Team preview : Yes / No / You decide [State your preference on whether you want to know which pokémon you picked for your opponent and let them know which they picked for you, or not.]
Battle request form :
Challenging : @ [Tag the person you want to fight]
Team preview : Yes / No [Only if they let you decide]
Pokémon : #__, #__, #__
If you wish to make adjustments in your comp box, remember to edit your box display post by adding a new screenshot.
Additional notes
I would love to get some feedback on the matches. Don't hesitate to tell us how it all went, I understand that this kind of debriefing would be easier to do in an instant chat, but I know I'd be super grateful if you could write 2-3 lines about how the match(es) went. Even better if you could record it and put a link to the video here
Hope it's clear enough for everyone, have fun!
