HELLO FRIENDS! Today we will be reviving everyone's least invested project: the Community Create A Team. For those of unaware of what this is, let me give you a brief summary:
Stage 1: We are going to start by picking a Pokemon (and set) we are going to be basing the team around. This does NOT mean the Pokemon has to be the late game sweeper, it means the team will be built around that Pokemon, whatever role it plays. This thread is for nominating Pokemon to be added to a poll. After a few days or once we have enough submissions, I will select which Pokemon are going to be in the poll that will be posted after we decide on a list of Pokemon. This means you have to convince me, and others, that your Pokemon is worth being put in the vote.
Stage 2: We select one Pokemon that works well around the selected one.
Stage 3: We select Pokemon that work well around our Pokemon and fit the team style and test it.
Stage 4: We fine-tune the team based on our experiences in test-driving the team on the ladder!
Finally, please make your nominations actually decent, building around good but underrated sets is fun and encouraged, and while it may be funny to build around Wailord, Slaking, or SD Roselia, I want this team to be at the very least actually usable, so please keep this in mind. Also, make sure to explain your nominations and only vote once. I'll 3-4 days to post nominations per round (maybe longer if others want to give a last minute input) and remember that you can only post one pokemon per round. Voting will take place after a good amount of pokemon are posted, and the winning pokemon will be kept track off below. Any changes to previously picked pokemon can be adjusted as the rounds progress. Above all else, this project is meant to be an enjoyable experience for not only skilled battlers and teambuilders, but also for those who don't really know the meta as well, so they can get a good idea of how others think in terms of teambuilding, so don't hesitate to post even if you're not all that familiar with PU.
Now I know PU CCATs are notoriously unsuccessful, I had to see the previous one I was running get no activity and shut down. I want to make this one different because it says a lot about the community that nobody can be bothered to post a few mons to make a team. Plus contributions go towards shiny pixels or the PU Salty Nut Award, so there's also incentives for this to be active. I'll be trying to take a more active hand in this, and work with people on revisions a bit more. Hopefully we can finally finish a team on the fourth go!
