PrincessDia Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Greetings everyone and thanks for your interest in PRL. As you know we are entering last 48 hours for scheduled competitor applications and we majorly lack people to compete in this. All of our current competitive events in PokeMMO targets only the top tier of players, leaving mid-experienced or low-experienced players a big gap to close before they can participate in anything fun. Not to mention a lot of metagames for high-experienced players become pretty repetitive and non-innovative most of the time. These issues result in majority of playerbase quitting the game right after finishing the story or quitting early in competitive scene before getting any decent experience. PRL aims to break the mold regarding those issues. We have no one to support and make this happen other than our community players and teams. So if you all give us a hand to gather as many competitors as you can to this, we can make this happen together and allow people from every skill level to learn from each other and have fun! Thank you in advance! Link to comment
PrincessDia Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Update: We will extend competitor applications until end of 15th of July, if we get at least 20 competitors before end of 15th of July, we will allow more competitors during first week of Gym Challenge frame as well (until end of 23rd of July). A lot of people have invested too much effort in this, and we are close to reaching our marks so we are giving this one more day. Link to comment

PrincessDia Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 And there goes the 2nd day of Gym Challenge frame. As the first day rush is over a total of 28 badges were given on second day! With that, SweeTforU, ZeknShooter and Suneet earned their 8th badge and their rightful ticket to preliminaries. Congratulations!

I missed to record bunch of battles and it made me quite sad. BUT from those that I could watch and record, I've seen a newcomer to PRL and his battle took my interest!llChelo vs LavaFlow Since the biggest clue a Gym gives you before a battle is the theme, when you see a Gym titled "Fighting Type" you wouldn't bring 5 normal types to the battle would you? llChelo boldly and without any doubt did that! Spoiler Best of luck to everyone and see you tomorrow! xSparkie and Suneet 2 Link to comment
PrincessDia Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 3rd day left behind! We have got some new faces in PRL and we have reached competitor count of 30! Of course time will tell how many of those people will be able to carve their path to preliminaries. Speaking of preliminaries, in day 3, Drayyton and xSparkie got their final badges and secured their seats in the preliminaries. Congratulations! Spoiler -18-07-2019- xSparkie > Hopy Badge - Muscle Badge - Sky BadgeDrayyton > Tough BadgePawnwolf > Tough Badge - Muerto BadgeFrimma > Hopy BadgeCali > Room Badge - Tough Badge - Muerto BadgeDrayyton > Muscle Badgeurquidi > Bond BadgeRommegaGamer > Bond Badge And for the interesting matches that were caught on camera today;urquidi vs AQA I've known AQA was asking for triple battles and I honestly had no idea about what was going on at first few turns of battle. After a few turns it started to make sense and the battle got really interesting! Glad that I finally got the opportunity to catch one of such battles live! Spoiler urquidi vs EGuy Second match that features urquidi as challenger today but both matches were worthy to watch so I couldn't just leave them! This battle smelled of pure experience from both trainers. It should be used as educational video in Pokémon Schools about Pokémon Battles. Spoiler xSparkie vs Mannoroth Last but not least, xSparkie challenging "Coffin and the bruises" style of Mannoroth. The battle was completely mummified by two Cofagrigus. Everyone, their grandparents, their cousins, their children and their long lost brothers/sisters were mummified in a single battle. It was one of the battles that could go anywhere and of course, was interesting to watch! Spoiler As always, best of luck to everyone and see you tomorrow! xSparkie 1 Link to comment
PrincessDia Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 End of day 4! The number of qualified people are increasing as urquidi and Leviatharian joins the people who have ensured their places with 8 badges! Congratulations!

I've missed multiple matches with a few seconds or minutes. D:Frimma vs Kasperl But hey, even with the issues I had with recording, this match was so good to not upload. Frimma attempted to keep the sanity against Kasperl, the master of Horrors. The match started slow but ended with an epic finish! Worth watching! Spoiler We will hold a public single elimination tournament this Sunday! If you are tuned in here but not in discord yet, hop on and see the details! See you on next day! Link to comment
PrincessDia Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Day 5 is behind! We are getting close to end of extended competitor registrations, yet new people keep coming in! Yay! The pace is not slowing down as we gave out total of 24 badges today even though Saturday was supposed to be the day when our Gym Leaders are least active! Along with the fast pace, two more solid trainers have crossed the finish line for Gym Challenge period. Congratulations to Cali and Frimma on collecting 8 badges and clearing their path to the next stage.

Interesting matches of the day!Beardohh vs EGuy As a newcomer to PRL, Beardohh instantly got four badges with an unstoppable force. As the next challenge on his quest, there was one of the most experienced and strong Gym Leaders, the Normal type expert, EGuy. Was an exciting and high tempo battle. Spoiler kiwikidd vs bbJr When it comes to raw force, bbJr's dragon army always manages to suppress the opposing side. Today on the camera, was kiwikidd's attempt to endure and overcome the force of dragons. Of course the battle had a winner, but if it was up to me I'd call this match a draw. It was so equal that the match was decided by a coin toss... sort of. Spoiler Remember we are having a public tournament today! Check PRL discord if you haven't already!

PrincessDia Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Late Day 7 report! Whoops! Today is the last day for new challengers. If you are interested in PRL, this is your last chance! As most of the competitors find their way to their 8th badges, Gym Challenges will inevitably slow down while we all start to prepare for preliminaries. But for today, congratulations to aftershocker for getting his 8th badge and being qualified to move further! Spoiler -22-07-2019- aftershocker > Draken Badge - Spirit Badge - Hurricane BadgeWildhodor > Draken BadgeThatDudeCompadre > Spirit Badge I will probably get too little opportunities to record matches from now on as most people are already qualified and I need to make preparations for next stages of the event.

PrincessDia Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Ding ding! Competitor applications are now closed for good! Let's see how many of the remaining people can manage to gather 8 badges before the deadline! And also, congratulations for Guillex on completing his 8 badges and proceeding to next stage! Spoiler -23-07-2019- Guillex > Muerto BadgeThatDudeCompadre > Esranic BadgeiMythic > Draken Badge The whole process so far made me see a lot of opportunities for improvement on PRL even though everything was working as intended so far.

PrincessDia Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Week1 Day1 Transaction to Royal League and something entirely new like RACs brings confusion and adaptation along. Also some timings were unfortunate for the first day, but I expect things to get better once competitors get used to things! Here are the results for day one of first week!Cali vs urquidi Cali announced she won't be able to attend this weekend so she forfeited early without participating. Drayyton vs Pittzin Pitzzin somehow thought his match was tomorrow, and happened to be out of town today. Lack of attention lost him automatically. SweeTforU vs Suneet Quick match that was forfeited by SweeTforU at 5th minute. Apparently SweeTforU did not read RAC rule carefully and misplayed because of that. A valuable lesson for all competitors in future. Spoiler Link to comment
PrincessDia Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Week1 Day2 Was a fun day! Results are in!kiwikidd vs SenorMorty Despite claiming to be less prepared for battle, SenorMorty did battle quite well! Still, in the end the "Roar"ing battle ended in kiwikidd's grasp. Yikes, sorry for the high music volume on recording. Accidents happen D: Spoiler Leviatharian vs Guilleex This was a pretty fun battle. Bad luck did not help Leviatharian as he faced a powerful trainer who can utilize 100% of the field to his advantage. Spoiler Next week's fixtures will be announced at midnight as usual!
