Okay, finally made this! This is for discussion, organizing, and plotting of Gym Wars. I'll repost about the plot style.
Now... the plot of this is really simple. I don't have many complications planned past what's in the intro post and the Leader's sign-ups. So that means it's open to subplots or arcs that you guys come up with too.
My arc plans are as follows:
MAIN -the struggle of the three Gyms for acceptance
Recruitment: as described in the Start-Up section
Rebuilding: Time spent on this depends on the Gym: Koga's obviously in this for around two months, while the others may only take weeks. This includes redesigning puzzles and other obstacles.
Kanto League Festival: This will occur around the halfway point. It's a large gathering of all the Kanto Gyms.
Judgement: Occuring in the last two weeks, this is the final arc.
HISTORY -this explores the backgrounds or current lives of the Gym Leaders. Second arc listed generally won't happen until the RP hits spring.
Koga
Legal Matters: He has a number of accusations to defend against, including allowing his previous building to blow up.
Contest Hall: In order to gain the acceptance of the local coordinators, he may have to become one himself.
Surge Jr
Family Ties: Dealing with his father in the mental hospital might be as difficult as taking over the Gym
Stars: With a new guitarist on hand, Surge's old bandmates send themselves into superstardom... by turning to pop rock. This really annoys the old fans, who want Bolt Guitar back.
Camilla
Forest Developers: Viridian Forest belongs to no one. This could be changed when some land developers start to show interest.
Desert Thieves: Some new criminals start to harass the people of Viridian and Pallet. They seem to know Camilla.

I might as well talk about how I handle Gym difficulty. Some people use a ranking system; Brock's Gym would be definite easiest while Giovanni's is definite hardest (or maybe Sabrina by 1st gen standards). I, of course, had to try something more complicated.
I use a Tier system in which the amount of Badges the Challenger has dictates how many Gym Trainers need to be challenged and how the Gym Leader fights. There are five tiers, but most challengers will only fight the first four. This is how it runs for the Leaders.
1st tier: 0-1 badges, limited power, very limited healing, at most 3 Pokemon
2nd tier: 2-3 badges, limited power, limited healing, at most 4 Pokemon
3rd tier:4-5 badges, limited healing, at most 5 Pokemon
4th tier: 6-7 badges, slightly limited, full party allowed.
5th tier: request only, no limits (Leader is using their full potential)
I always had the feeling that you weren't facing the Gym Leaders at their full greatness. How else could a kid defeat an experienced battler? There is the chance that I might scrap this if it proves awkward for this story. I'll be experimenting quite a bit with my style/format here.
Waiting on lifesharker and rotrum for the interview section.
