BIOME BADGE GYM CHALLENGE - URBAN ROUND 1 - JUDGING JUDGING  "Action, excitement, and outstanding biome usage! I loved every minute of that round and I couldn't be happier. "
"The four of us have put our heads together and we've got some scores and feedback for you. Take a look, take it to heart, and I'll see you all in round two!"  ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
ZAC (2): Your Jynx and Mimikyu showed their precise knowledge of the urban biome through their mastery of the traffic system. And while I'm sure they don't have the appropriate permits, I'm a judge, not a cop. Excellent as always, and I loved seeing another side of Oona.
CHU-E (2): Pink? Check. Unusual? Check? Dramatic? Hell yes! The near-death experience really gets the blood pumping! Keep up that energy!
KAZIMIR (2): So like do we give out traffic tickets as well? Cause that was one heck of a performance! Ya truly understand the road rage of the big city and the craziness of it.
OSCAR (2): Talk action packed. My sphincter nearly disappeared up my ass, I feared for my life and loved it! Your Jynx is exactly why I hate the city--that's a good thing.
  ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
CHU-E (1): Klefki being a pickpocket isn't what I would have expected from this, but your performance was lacking a little pizazz. Try skydiving off your pokemon next time!
KAZIMIR (0): Corviknights are cool and all man, but you could have shown it off just a bit more y'know. They ain't Galar's premire taxi service for nothing after all. the Klefki's cute though.
OSCAR (1): Fine introduction, though it left me wanting to see more--which isn't always a bad thing. I look forward to seeing more on how your pokemon are masters of this biome in the next round.
ZAC (1): Great intro for Corviknight! You showed it in action, and described in detail how it's perfect for the urban biome. But the Klefki portion was a bit lacking. If you introduced that little jangler with the same detail it would have been full marks.
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
KAZIMIR (2): I've met some street dogs and yours really are as ferocious as those ones were. I don't even need much more to know that they do have some bite to them, can I pet them later?
OSCAR (1): Those are some mean dogs, their personality screams big city. They were so cool that I would have scored you higher--if your fucking puns hadn't physically hurt me. Shame on you, sir.
ZAC (2): I talked about life on the street, but these two seem fit for a life on the road! They're rough and tough as any car, and brimming with big city attitude. Keep it up!
CHU-E (1): I loved the energy and the raw destruction. That's the drama I like to see! It wasn't as surprising as I like, though; anyone can guess that dogs like to tear stuff up." Sprinkles is also very upset by this performance and rates it one hiss out of five.
  ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
KAZIMIR (2): Ok tight rope walking is something I don't think any one of us expected to see in this but man did you do amazing! I was on the edge of my seat wondering if you were gonna face plant into the ground, er don't take that the wrong way.
OSCAR (2): That was some pizzazz I'll tell you what. An impressive entrance to be sure, with great biome usage to boot.
CHU-E (2): Playing Mankey Ball on the power lines was a risky move both for yourself and this judging... but it payed off with me! Now your performance just need a little more color.
ZAC (2): When it comes to these contests you're just full of good ideas! Showing off the power lines like that really drew attention to the electric veins that run through the city. Love the use of technology, and you're spot on about it being integral to city life.
  ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
ZAC (2): Phenomenal! Using two Pokemon, a speaker, and the biome you turned this place into a heart-pumping concert! And you didn't steal the spotlight either. The whole time your Pokemon were front and center. I loved every second if it. You've grown leaps and bounds since your last contest, Melody.
CHU-E (2): There are too many strong performances right now and yours is one of them! That song was great and I loved the use of the biome! It was also flashy and extra in just the right way!
KAZIMIR (2): Oh i didn't know we were doing Pokestudios stuff now, that was just a spectactular performance! You and your pokemon sure do know how to rock it and that Joltik sure is one hell of a lighting master.
OSCAR (2): Ahhhh that performance! Mixing showmanship and biome usage was exactly what I wanted to see and you delivered! I'm expecting big things from you in the next round.
  ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
CHU-E (1): The atmosphere is great and I liked the choice of Pokemon and their explanations! It could have used the biome a little more effectively, though.
KAZIMIR (2): Oh man I hate it when Wingulls of all things do it, now you got a Pelipper to do take food as well? I'll give ya that. Also love the kind of horror vibe you were going for with your Chandelure. People don't appreciate urban horror really.
ZAC (1): Pelipper's introduction was great. I got a sense of how it survives in the city, and I enjoyed the recycling. Chandelure needed more though! Use the biome and really show us how it fits in. I want practical application, not ghost stories mate.
OSCAR (1): Good to see an unconventional choice like Chandelure, people forget how much of a pest these fuckers are in cities. Not a lot of biome usage, but I'm interested to see where you go from here.
  ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
CHU-E (1): Salem! Hi! You're as adorable as always! The performance was very cute and dramatic but it lacked a little something for me. Maybe a little more ante from Razz himself?
ZAC (2): =Navigation, teamwork, and repair. I saw a lot of good biome usage, and a lot of what makes these two unique. Great work!=
OSCAR (1): You had me until your introduction. I have no idea what you said man, at least bring a translator. You get points for the effort of your Pokemon though.
KAZIMIR (1): I was so ready for a high speed chase to happen and the action explosion scene was a nice touch, but if that was it I'd say try to add a bit more excitement to it buddy. Still worthwhile performance by those two.
  ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
ZAC (2): Subtle, which is unusual for these contests. You showed how the Pokemon integrate with society, instead of how they overpower the dangers of the city. I got a real sense of how their unique aspects make them suited for the urban biome. Fantastic.
CHU-E (1): Aw, this performance was also super adorable! I think it could have been a bit more dramatic. Make me feel things! I want to be on a roller-coaster of emotions!
KAZIMIR (1): The local newspaper boy is a dying breed and I'm happy to see you bringing it back as well as use your Pokemon to help navigate the city. Smart move my dude.
OSCAR (1): Lotta telling without showing. Can't knock that too hard though, I did the same thing in the last contest. I'm sure you'll deliver when given the chance.
ROUND 2 - SPORTS! "Sports embody the urban biome perfectly," Zac said, as the twelve trainers and their Pokemon waited for the bus to pick them up. "Competition, teamwork, and extravagant displays of skill! So that's why we're heading out to a convenience store parking lot to play some soccer!" The city bus arrived, and the trainers piled on, taking seats amidst the surprised citizens. Zac walked down the aisle, handing out colored armbands. "And nothing says urban more than gang warfare, so I've divided you into teams based on your hair color!"Pink Team: Melody Miro and glitch maverick (16 points) Blonde Team: Alexei Ivanov and Cillian Quinn (8 points) Brown Team: chryssa glasgow and kyle lopez (14 points) Black Team: Ezra Zeke and Raziel Beckett (10 points)
The group arrived at Zac's favorite convenience store after sunset. The contestants waited while he set up four inflatable goals and set a red and white, Pokeball-colored soccer ball in the center of the parking lot. "Remember that scoring goals isn't as important as outperforming the other teams, or using the biome!" Zac said. "Everything around you is fair game, so get out there, show me some serious sports and we'll break in 30 minutes for Charja-cola and Oran slices."  With each post this round, use your Pokemon to try and score goals, block shots, or attack the other teams. Show the judges why your Pokemon is the best suited to the intensity of urban life, and make sure to use the biome itself as part of your post. Posting alone doesn't earn you appeal points this round. Points will be awarded for outperforming the others by using a Pokemon move and then rolling at the end of your post. Judges are not assigned to any team, but will join in to challenge the contestants and liven up the game. Outperforming a teammate: 1 point Outperforming an opposing team: 2 points Outperforming a judge: 3 points DETAILS - The team with the highest total will get a special boon for the final round.
- All teams with 15 or more appeal points at the end of this round will proceed to the final round.
- Rolling higher than the person before you awards you points, but rolling lower will award them points instead.
- Ties will award 0 points.
- The first and last posts this round get 1 point automatically, as they are performing uncontested.
- You can post multiple times, but do not double post.
The 2nd round will close on Wednesday May 19th at 11:59pm Tokyo time.
At the end of the round, the judges will award special boons that provide a mechanical advantage for the final round based on outstanding biome performance.
Please use the roll command for every post this round.
