so here's the score, i'd like to start a Giant Bomb Pokemon Gym League. and appropriately, it should be filled with Giant Bomb users. 
 
i'm looking for 8 Gym Leaders. There WILL be an Elite Four, probably made up of Gym Leaders willing to run two teams, and a champion, who will be the first person to beat the team. all members will recieve a gift from yours truly for thier participation. 
 
Okay, so, let's lay down some science:
 
GUIDELINES 
 
ALLOWED VERSIONS: the versions users are welcome to use are Platinum, Diamond, Pearl, Heart Gold and Soul Silver, being any Generation 4 game. 
 
ALLOWED POKEMON: we're going by tournament standards. No Legendary Pokemon. No Wobuffet. this applies to Trainers as well as Gym Leaders and the Elite Four. no repeat pokemon, sorry all you all-Farfetch'd trainers out there, diversify your portfolio, motherfuckers! Please note that the Sleep Clause is also in effect.
 
ALL PARTIES CHECKED: Your party must remain consistant throughout the league's activity. this also applies to trainers coming to challenge the gym. before you can go through the gym, you must register your team. said team can be lined up in any order you wish, but it must remain the same. to comply with this, all gym leaders will have thier teams posted publically, and if trainers wish to enter the league, they'll have to publically state thier team before-hand.
 
ADVANCEMENT: Advancement is pretty simple. once you present your challenge to the gym, you'll recieve a friend code from the first gym leader in a PM. once you've beaten them,  the gym leader will send a PM to the second gym leader, who'll then send a PM to you. this process will continue all the way to the final challenge, to ensure that the League is completed in proper order. if you lose to a gym leader or an elite four, you won't have to repeat the entire league, but you will have to challenge the gym leader who beat you again with the same party, 
meaning all you're allowed to change after being beaten, is the order of your pokemon, and your strategy for beating them.
 
GYM LEADERS: each gym leader will have a team of 4 to 6 pokemon of a single or double type. the double types will be pokemon of similiar type, (ice/water, for instance.) each Elite Four will have a team of 6 pokemon of no more than 3 types. dual type pokemon (like Venomoth or Luxray) are allowed, 2 pokemon of ANY type are allowed in each gym leader's team.
  
Here is a list of the Gym leaders i need: 
  
Normal Type
 
Electric Type 
 
if you'd like to get in on this, send me a PM or post, tell me what type you'd like to run, and whether or not you'd like to be an Elite Four (as well as what types you'd run as an elite four member.)
 
prizes for league leaders and champions will be determined as the rosters fill up, they'll be anything from specially bred pokemon, parties, rare items and even legendary pokemon.

what about grass type??? 

Ugh, having to stick to a certain type is the sticking point for me. I suppose I'd be interested in the electric/steel gym but I'll need to do some training before then.

I might go with Normal if it isn't taken already. I want to take a shot at being an Elite Four member as well.

 I would like to try out for a Water/Ice gym leader. I wouldn't mind trying out for the Elite four but I'm not really crazy about the whole idea. I guess I dont mind just to fill in the gaps but I'm sure there will be more candidates which will be more enthusiastic about the job.
Just a rough guess at what my team will be... 

Swampert (water/Ground), Gyarados(Water/Flying), Cloyster(Water/Ice), Kingdra(Water/Dragon), Starmie(Water/Spychic) and Vaporeon (Water)  

Never really tried something like this so if I get in, it should be fun!
Now if only we had a talented artist who could draw us some badges, eye catches and the region of Giant Bomb....But I guess I'm just being silly now.
I'll put up my friend code tommorow, right now I need sleep.

i can try to draw badges im not always totally creative but i have a gym badge for my dark type gym on the gts i can post it and if people want they can give me an idea then i can try to draw it 
 
also i would like to become the eeveelution something or other so if you can squeeze me in that would be awsome so i guess that would be elite four?

So how long do we have to assemble our rosters and what should the level range be?  
 

" @pakx: 
sweet sounds good that gives me time to level up lol
 
 @Emilio: we could bolth do it or you can do most of them and then ill do a couple "

Ok I posted my friend code in the friend code topic, in case I actually get to be the water/ice gym leader.
 
Oh wow Gym badges? thats awesome.

i wish my internet would work with my ds. a user gym series and elite 4 would be awesome

About ghost/psychic am I allowed to have ghost/ice, Psychic/grass etc?

Edit: i didn't read the last part of your post, but If I may I would want to be Ghost/Psychic if I may. I can also contribute an Shaymin for this contest since I got 2 :/

" @pakx:yay...Oh crap I have to go train my Froslass, Gengar, Alakhazam, Espeon and Mismagius. I am allowed to use Froslass aight? "

Fighting type would be cool with me if it wasn't for the no /fighting allowed which is basically every good fighting type out there minus Lucario. No Infernape, Heracross, Poliwrath, Breloom, Blaziken, Gallade, Toxicroak. So what am I left with? Hariyama, Machamp, and the Hitmon-family?

Any positions still open? 
 
Also, I tend to run a fairly diverse team.  I have an absolutely beastly Porygon-Z, but normal is already taken so if I start training really hard I would like to try out for the Elite Four.

I would have liked to be a part of this.  But there is no option for Water Typer Gym leader. :'( 
 
That being said, I suppose I could do an Elite 4 Spot... 
 
Water, and two other types...  If thats ok...

Meh...Screw it...I'll go for Rock/Ground.  That would mean that I can use my favorite battling pokemon.  :D

man this sucks this sounded like alot of fun but im not not willing to change me party
oh well i guess ill chalinge you when your up and ready

" @Kyreo: if the last three spots dont fill up by the end of the week, you're in. "

I would like to join but i have NO idea what this is all about

Ok, in the light of these new circumstances I'm going to have to look over my team that I posted on the first page.
Hope thats alright.

"What are the last types we need to fill? "

 Okay my team at the very least will consist of  
Skarmory 
Aggron 
Scizor 
Mawile  
It will still be at least a week on Skarmory and Aggron, but Scizor and Mawile are ready to go.  

I imagine that at some point I will add Bastiodon, Lucario, Metagross, Empoleon, or Steelix. Not sure which yet.

My team is going to be: 
 
Golem 
Marrowak 
Tyranitar 
Hippodon 
Rhydon or Rhyperior (if I can evolve it...) 
and a ringer of some kind to deal with one weakness...
