This is a weird idea I had but
Would anyone want to do a 5 battle series where we battle 5 times
Round 1 : Gen 1 pokemon only
Round 2 : Gen 2 pokemon only
Round 3 : Gen 3 pokemon only
Round 4 : Gen 4 pokemon only
Round 5 : Gen 5 pokemon only
Since that's obviously really demanding to pull together 30 different pokemon, we could use Pokedit.com to just make 6 lvl 100s the way we see fit for each generational team
The person who wins 3 or more of the 5 would be the winner
Idk, sounds fun. If anyone thinks that sounds like a fun idea PM me and we can work on building our 5 teams and get together to do the 5 battles in a row in a day or two after fixing up the teams and arranging a convenient time to do it
& to be clear about technicalities, that means for example no using a Scizor or something in round 1, yes Scyther existed then but Scizor didn't, and so forth.
Also for example, in a Gen 2 battle you couldn't use a Charizard. The pokemon had to have debuted in that generation
Moves, abilities, and items that didn't exist in that generation would be fine though, it'd be too much complicated research to figure out movesets that could have existed in each generation
& no legends, they're just annoying and unbalanced. Takes alot of fun out of the equation :/
