Hey all,
Back in www.piforums.info (http://www.piforums.info/), they had (and still have) a GYM system which used to be very entertaining and brought more activity.. How it works is that a person volunteers to be a GYM leader of a specific Pokemon type, and a Mod/Admin/whatever approves it. He starts a thread, calling it his 'GYM', with his rules, badge (optional), prize Pokemon (or item), and other set of important things. When a person wants to battle against him, he/she posts in that thread, and they both appoint a time where they battle on Wi-fi. The GYM leader must use Pokemon of his own type; however, Pokemons that are close to that type can be accepted too. Note that 4 Pokemons must be from his own type, and the other 2 can be close to that type.

Example:
The Dragon GYM leader can also use Gyarados and Kingra in his team, as they are close to the Dragon type.
The Dark GYM leader can also use some limited numbe of Ghost Pokemons as they are close to Dark.
And so on...

If the GYM leader is defeated, the trainer who won gets the prize. Note that the prize must be worthy, not just a simple item or Pokemon. The winner and the loser must be announced in the specific GYM leader's thread.

As said, we can also add special user titles for GYM leaders. I suggest adding a whole new section for GYM leaders. These would bring more activity.

I hope this gets approved by an Administrator...

Oh ya, and don't forget to participate in the poll attached just to see how many people are willing to participate in the GYM system.

Now that someone has finally explained the system to a point that I can understand it, I'm gonna say this could be worth a shot.

If someone wants to be a fire type gym leader but there already is one, are there then two, or do they have a special test to see if said user can replace the old gym leader?

I am not really sure, but I think that a suitable sayingwould be: "First come, first serve."
Though if it is really worth it, as you said, a special kind of 'test' is done to see who is better. However, not each time everyone says: "I wanna be the *type* GYM leader instead of *name!" we have to do a test or something. That would be annoying.

You think we can find a way to get more people to join pokezam and try these battles out? I asked some people on a smogon chat room about we battling some them guys but they said it wouldnt work.

Ah. That would cause a lot of trouble. We do not need such a big step forward. Let's try it here first, see if it works, and then think of your suggestion. Also, we need to train ourselves and find very experienced and professional battlers.

First of all; here are only two competitive battlers, certainly not enough to have a fight with Smogon in any way TBH.

Well you and Shadow, which basically isn't enough to go against Smogon since Shadow just found out about EVs and so, it would be basically you VS Smogon

Sorry, but the whole system is currently unavailable for major upgrades. You'll know what I am talking about soon though ;)
