Registration for the tournament will begin immediately all through July 12th 11:59 PM PDT. Due to bracket limitations and in order to prevent byes, the tournament must consist of either 16 or 32 participants. If the 16 participant minimum is not met by the deadline, there may be an extension. All participants after the 16th slot is filled must PM me to tentatively be put on a waiting list until 32 participants are met.

Rules and Regulations

Once your team has been built, please PM me your team in order to prevent cheating.

With half the league AFK, can I just challenge the gym leaders in any order?

Please? Give me some action? ^^^thats^what^she^said

###!###

Chromaleague, I challenge you! Nothing can withstand the power of my pokemon team!

This probably won't end well.

soon all pokemon will be available for flair. That is all, please go back to your regularly scheduled battles

This seems to be a good thing to resolve for any lore purposes. Also, what's the name of our Professor? We should probably match gyms to territory themes as well.

And on top of that, in the case of extreme lore expansion, I suggest having an Orangered league and a Periwinkle league similar to the Kanto-Johto with a meeting point at Snooland, as each nation has 8 territories(and a capitol). This sort of thing is best to resolve early, because if we expand too much it will confuse people.

Hello aspiring trainers! My name is Professor Oak Gym Leader Fro, and welcome to Chroma. Now complete with Pokemon!

Do you think you have what it takes to become the Chroma League Champion? If so then make a team on Pokemon Showdown and submit it to the Elite 4 for approval. Once approved, contact the first gym leader and decide when you both can battle, again using Pokemon Showdown.

But beware, the team you choose will be the one you must use for the entire Chroma League Challenge. No swapping out to get an advantage like in the games.

Here are a few quick guidelines about team creation.

• Legendaries are not allowed.

• Besides your main team you can have a pool of at least 3 reserve pokemon that you can switch between during the challenge.

• You are allowed to have one mega capable pokemon on your team, though mega evolutions themselves are not allowed until you reach the Elite 4.

• Your pokemon are not allowed to have evasion boosting moves.

• If you have any other questions feel free to ask the mods or check out the wiki.

Will you and your team soar to victory as the Champion of Chroma? Or will your dreams be brutally crushed? There is only one way to find out...
