Nope! There are no requirements for taking on the Battle Frontier. So if challengers want, they can challenge the frontier.

Yup yup o/ Just check my VMs. I asked him and Skull Bash about them still wanting to be leaders. Charizard said to remove him as a leader and I haven't heard from Skull Bash. I asked him to please get back to me by tomorrow, since Artorius is interested in the Water Gym.

Can't say I have a structured price system as of yet since we just started it. I'm still trying to get a feel of what's balanced in terms of LP prices (like is it too much, or is it too cheap).
My train of thought is Terrakion is easier to come by than a Regigigas in game on the legendary scale. Others I based on meta-game potential and etc. It's more of a "this is priced like this, so I should price this like this kinda thing." There is potential creator's bias unfortunately on some of them since there is no set system based on how I view the Pokemon in terms of battle (mega forms, rarity, tier, etc), but I tried to balance it as much as possible. Prices are subject to change as I work through how much LP people earn, etc. etc.
That's a good point about the Legendaries. I think I'll take a final look at all the LP cost before I put up the raffle for today. Thanks DX o/
Note: If anyone else has suggestions on the LP cost system, lemme know o/ It'll be convos like this that help shape things for the future of the league since we started a whole bunch of new stuff!
As suggestion for LP cash in count this
Some pokemon cost 200 LP what do you get when you donate a pokemon that's worth that: 15 LP. I think that's a bit too low. You should make it half the value or decrease the prices.
If decreasing the prices, first considering rarity (combined with tiering on smogon) so regigigas (200) would make sense considering how rare it actually is (but tiering a bit less). But the charmander sito donated (180) is way to much since it's common (i got like 10 of those)
And it's tiering however high (for the physical set wich is good but special is getting better again) it isn't the most common mega. Second of course is legend vs breedable. Breedables should always be atleast half the cost of the most expensive legend
I think you're right. When I first made it, I made the cost of donations lower because there's a lot of ways people could wrack up LP quickly and didn't want all the donation prizes to be bought up quickly, so I was trying to even out the LP gains. I definitely think it over when it comes to donation LP gains. Not sure if that means price up or price down.
One idea I might have is instead of increasing the LP of donations drastically, a good load of raffle coupons possibly or another means of doing so. These are just ideas I'm shooting out for now o/

Score: 4-0 (DX won)
Rate your performance(0-10): 0
Leader's performance(0-10): 10
Additional Comments(be polite): one move made (aqua jet) then most fun ever (2 turns but most fun ever really!!!!!!!)
@ burnerv2 raffle coupons is chance and looking at the system you're forced to use them once a raffle starts (what if a raffle contains nothing but pokemon you don't want). You'll have to recollect them and hope for the best (twice). It's a good idea on paper but in practice it won't do good.
For donation LP gain for donating up (let's say half the value of what you're going to give it as LP cost or something like that) and increase the value for legends (if you happen to run out of those just contact me. I love to help). Or decrease the value of the breedables with 3/4 of their price now (or something like that) and the legends with 2/8 or so

So here's what I've come up with thinking over it just a tiny bit. What about this kind of blueprint?
LP Donation Gains:
1) For non-legendary Pokemon, you always earn 5 LP (no limitations on how many you earn points for)
2) For Legendaries, you earn 3/10 of their LP Cost and can only earn LP for "1 Legendary" until you purchase a Pokemon in the Donation Corner.
Donation Purchases:
1) You can purchase up to 2 non-legendary Pokemon per raffle cycle (2 weeks to 4 weeks)
2) You can puchase up to 1 legendary Pokemon per raffle cycle (2 weeks to 4 weeks)
Donation Pokemon LP Cost:
1) Non-Legendary Pokemon prices will decrease by a fixed amount.
2) Legendary Pokemon prices will increase greatly.

As a Note to the League as well:
This is a current blueprint in the works for the new LP Donation Gains, LP Donation Center Pokemon Cost, and Purchase Limits
LP Donation Gains:
1) For non-legendary Pokemon, you always earn 5 LP (no limitations on how many you earn points for)
2) For Legendaries, you earn 3/10 of their LP Cost and can only earn LP for "1 Legendary" until you purchase a Pokemon in the Donation Corner.

2) Legendary Pokemon prices will increase a bit.
These aren't set in stone! But...
I'll have to talk to FairyWitch about these since she'll have the final say.
My Reasoning
The reason I made it 3/10s, is because Legends are going to be worth more. If we prices a shiny (example)
for 550, that'll earn a person 275 LP. With the drop in non-legendary prices and the potential drop in no limits to purchase non-legends, someone could theoretically buy 5 or 6 at a time.
While I agree, donations (particularly legends) should earn a person more LP...
Then there's a risk of multiple people doing that is what led me to the limits. I also want to promote other means of people gaining LP other than donations. We've got the contest hub, things on the home hub, and battles that will provide tons of chances for challengers to earn LP.
Same thing about double or triple for non-legends. I believe there's so many ways to earn LP, that I don't want to have a system that can be abused from donations alone.
This blue print is what I feel most comfortable about for now. I'll talk it over with other TEF heads to brainstorm as well.
But the LP system may never be exactly price equivalent for the value contributed, because there are many opportunities presented to make LP.
If a challenger participates in say 2 battles a day (winning gym battles or casual), contributes music ideas, completes the contest Sir Grunty challenge, provides a replay or other easy things, that's potentially near 15 or more LP a day and that adds up. (Just providing 4 music tracks, 3 replays, and a regular donation by itself would be 15 under the current system)
As I said, nothing is set in stone just yet and will be determined soon o/

Agree but limits should be implementend on a different way for example you have 0 mudkips and 10 charmanders donated by the same person he does have mudkips he wants to donate but he reached the limit he'll have to wait and the league may have that need too.
Legends. Limit for purchasing yes but not 1 every raffle period.
Also pokemon wich special moves (like that smeargle with happy hour or whatever it's called) should have a higher value too
Did it again lol. Comments bold

That actually gives me a good idea on the donation actually about donations being the easiest way to gain it. I think what I might suggest to Fairy is to put a cap on our donation center. Like if we hit say 60 mons, then we won't take any other donations for the time being. That way A) We don't get overfilled with donations and B) donations won't be the most reliable way to earn LP anymore. I think that'll help take care of the donation being the most reliable means of LP and DX's concern of there being a huge amount of mons in the center.
