Welcome to Showderp!
>What the fuck is this thread?I just told you, it's showderp! The first person to post with a tripcode after a "new champ" post is made becomes "champ." The first six posts after this containing valid pokemon make up the team that the "champ" has to use. Champ cannot skip a pokemon no matter how shitty it may be, and has to complete at least two battles.
>But where do they battle?On an online simulator by competitive online pokemon website smogon, called pokemon showdown! The links to the current battle will always be provided in the thread. They always battle in OU unless stated otherwise.
>Ok, any other rules? If a champ is gone or generally MIA for more than fifteen minutes, then a new champ is to be called for the sake of flow. Suggestions may be merged if there are two posts for the same pokemon, but otherwise the first post gets on the team. There is also no such thing as a blacklist no matter what anyone tells you, anyone is allowed to champ.
>Sounds good. what now?Just follow the current battles, lurk, and maybe try to post a pokemon suggestion next time the designated champ asks for a new team. Good luck!
