THE ELITE EIGHT CHALLENGE


Image


If collecting experience points is not enough for you as a Pokemon trainer, we've put together a tough challenge to spice up this July review day.


To earn your eight gym badges and become a YWS Pokemon Master, you'll need to defeat one work from each of the following categories:

Articles, Lyrics, Novels (First Chapter), Novels (Later Chapter), Other, Poetry, Script, and Short Story


If you are intimidated by any of these styles, don't worry! Head on over to the Pokemon Center in the Lounge for quick tips on how to do your first poetry or novel review.

Ash didn't give up when he lost a battle for the first time. You, too, can persevere and learn!


Lastly, there are three tiers to this challenge.

If you wish to become a bronze league Pokemon Master, you'll do one review from each of the categories this review day, for a total of eight reviews.

If you'd like to be a silver league Pokemon Master, you'll tackle two reviews from each of the categories this review day, for a total of sixteen reviews.

If you'd like to be a gold leage Pokemon Master, you'll take out anywhere from three to eight reviews from each of the categories to earn your place as a force to be reckoned with and a total of anywhere from twenty-four to sixty-four reviews toward your trophy.


That's right. Each Review Day participant who successfully completes the Elite Eight Challenge by posting in this thread the qualifying links to reviews in each category will receive an accompanying bronze, silver, or gold league Pokemon Master trophy to display proudly on their YWS profile for... forever!

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and battle your way to the top!

Question, what's up with the Pokémon parties? Do we pick random Pokémon and use them? Or does our team have a specific party?
