Halolz Pokemon League Gaiden: Monsters of Color Edition

The culmination of a little idea that surfaced in Skype chat yesterday.

So in most Pokemon games, box previews don't show Pokemon icons, instead showing a small block of color.

These are those colors.

The idea here is simple; pick a color and make a team solely from the Pokemon in that color group.

I still don't know exactly how we're going to do this (or if it's even going to be organized at all), but this is just laying out the framework.

Rules post in a second.

Due to inconsistencies between colors, we're working with a slightly different banlist here. In short, the usual banlist has been tweaked slightly to help balance colors that have less to work with while limiting colors that would easily dominate with a full roster.

Banlist:

Clauses:

Dibs on white. And can all my pokemon be male?

... actually, looking at your banlist, are you grouping White and Grey into one?

>arceus is in Grey, but not white
..... what the hell is with this list?

These are official colors. We know some of them don't make sense, call it mindgames.

White and Gray being mixed was a typo, it's fixed now.

As of right now I don't think we'll be limiting people to one color, or limiting colors to one person.

But totally dibs on pink if we are.

Is this still a possible thing? If so, I'd really like to try black... But it's got nothing. Unless we weren't going to only adhere to a single color, I think I could get blue to work.

If this is still a possible event, I'm calling Blue. Or if we get to pick 2 colors I might try something else.

(Can I use shinies? It won't technically be blue anymore, but I don't care.)

Lack of interest seems to mean it's not happening, but some of us did set up monocolor teams for fun.
