"In a cell gotta make your home, cause you might never make it home"

Hi, I heard you were talking about gym leaders?

I'm against the idea *at this moment in time*, simply because of the issue of imbalance between the gym leaders vs challengers. Assuming you cut each position by half so that there's 4 leaders and 2 E4, that would still leave 6 people with a position. Right now I don't think we have enough active battlers to fully keep the leader league alive :/

Sorry for the late reply, and yes, I would have to agree that we are lacking a sufficient amount of active, competitive, participants in order to fully have a gym-style league. I'm all for the idea, but we need to get more people involved.

I'm not sure. Global Warming was in-charge, but he hasn't been updating recently. If he will continue to update or if we can find someone else who will update more frequently, then we may be able to continue it.

Another question as such - are we going to be getting a Gen 5 forum?

Probably after we get some more information. Right now we only have enough for one or two threads. I imagine a forum will be made once a game title is released and we generally have much more info on the subject.

Yeah, Only one Pokemon and a Movie have been released. Unless....

Does anyone mind if I start a Gen. 5 Speculation thread?

I have a suggestion regarding HeartGold and SoulSilver. Perhaps someone makes a walk-through for the games, exclusively for Pokelight?

"In a cell gotta make your home, cause you might never make it home"

@ hollow: from past experience if it's not a video -based walkthrough it's usually better to post it somewhere like gamefaqs first saying that it can only be used there AND here, more people will see and it gets rid of some advertisment issues I suppose.

I want more community based events, and not the blatant postcount whoring ones that have been going on atm. Something more like the Quiz and the Sprite competitions, maybe battle of the week to go up on pokelight youtube or something completely unrelated to pokes such as "who has the best facial expression in this pic" lol

I've noticed that it is extremely hard to navigate through this forum, maybe it's just me because I'm new and don't know my way around yet but there are far too many boards that are unnecessary and badly organized. Would it be possible to compress half the boards to half the size. And re-categorize most of the open forums. It would be ideal for newer members who find it difficult to explore the forums and know where to post, no matter how clearly it is portrayed.

Thank You for that! It's actually been something that's been discussed lately amongst the staff about how we can make the site easier to browse for the newer memebrs and also easier to begin to fit in. So anymore suggestions on this matter would be very useful!

Here was the layout I had in mind;

Red = Addition
Blue = Comment

---------------------------------------------------
PLF News & Updates
PLF Bulletin Board
Pokelight News Channel
Pokemon of the Week


----------------------------------------------------
Social Community
PLF Introductions!
-----Pokelight FAQs
----Pokelight Chatbox
---Pokelight Arcade
--Affiliations
-Pokelight Nexus
Community Box
Forum Clubs & Groups
General Discussion

Miscellaneous
-----Fan Fiction
----The Art Gallery
---Technology & Media
--Spam Section
-Forum Games


I was thinking that the Miscellaneous and Community Board should be mixed into each other seeing as they both cover the social aspect of the forum. Fan Fiction, The Art Gallery, Technology & Media, Spam Section could be Sub-Board in the bigger section called Miscellaneous.

----------------------------------------------------
General PokémonForumsDiscussion
General Pokémon Discussion
Pokémon Anime & Manga
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum Discussion
-Pokémon Battle Revolution
HeartGold & SoulSilver Discussion
Fifth Generation Discussion
Misc. Generation Discussion
-Third Generation Discussion
-Old School Generations
-The Spin-Off Game
s


As for the General Pokémon Discussion, which formely was the General Pokémon Forums is now containing ANY traces of Pokémon related topics, from the Anime to games - generation and upcoming generations to come. I have simply moved the Misc. Generation Discussion into the General Pokémon Discussion...because it IS General Pokémon Discussions, saves space and is a categoric match.

----------------------------------------------------
+New Board+
Competitive Battling
Rate My Team
-Battling tips
-Custom sets

Pokelight Wi-Fi Café
Tournaments

I was wondering if you could make a new Board on a whole - the competitive battling board. Where you can post RMT, custom sets, and find tips & tricks to competitive battling. The only real change I would advise if removing Tournaments as a sub-forum and making it into a whole board of its own. What I have really changed is to get rid of the The Trainer Factor and collapse it into a Rate My Team board, there by eliminating the need of excessive boards. 1 board for all your general needs. 2 sub-forums for battling tips, which is essentially just tips and tricks for competitive battling and custom sets, a place where you can post experimental sets for others to comment and give advise upon.

The problem with the old design is no one really knew what to post on the main board and this really simplifies and fulfils all needs.

This is fine. A great original addition to a what would be generic Pokémon forum. Kudos.



By just a few changes you can trim this forums fat and make it easier to navigate through. Tell me what you think.

My only issue with that is that I don't want to mix the Community and Misc. Discussions. I might alter them and move a few sections around, but it's probably going to stay separate. As far as Competitive Battling goes, our Competitive Community isn't large enough as of yet. Perhaps when it does get large enough, we will create a separate category. The main reason the Pokemon Games are spread out is because of posts. Back when they were condensed, most members wouldn't notice posts made in those sections.

I will take some your ideas into consideration, though.

Well they're essentially the same thing as they provide the same purpose - unrelated Pokémon chat. I was a bit surprised that Technology & Media was even in the Misc. Discussions.

I did move a few things around here and there. My position on the Wifi Forum still stands and I will take your idea into consideration when our Wifi community expands. I want more people to share their opinions on this before I move around this section.
