TPM Animé-Style Battling Team

The Pokemasters Forums' ASB league was actually the first one I ever joined, if I recall correctly. Around October of 2007 I was feeling sort of overwhelmed and took a break from TPMASB; I decided to give it another go and make a little comeback in December of '08. Of course, being around TCoD's ASBL for all that time left me feeling pretty rusty when it came to the specifics of TPMASB, and the fact that I hadn't been keeping track of my team properly wasn't helping me feel any more comfortable. I'm slowly working my way back up, though, and since I don't want to use up the limited space in my signature to track my team I made this page. It's currently small, and several of the Pokémon I have wouldn't usually be my first choices to play with, but I've actually come to appreciate some Pokémon a little more by using this team. They've been pretty interesting, to say the least.

Abilities are not used in TPMASB, but I've gone ahead and listed them anyway, just in case they are implemented in the future... okay, actually it's only because the gender bit looked stupid taking up an entire row, and there really isn't anything else to put there. Sue me.

Last updated: January 23rd, 2010. Added Syzygy and Gwil. Current team total is 25.

Nepenthes
Gender	Male	Ability	Overgrow (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
The genus name of a kind of pitcher plant.
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: 1 - # - #

I caught Nepenthes in the Safari Zone. I'm not the biggest Bulbasaur family fan in the world, but they're pretty cool and useful Pokémon and he's done pretty well so far.

Girandola
Gender	Female	Ability	Blaze (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
A girandole is a type of firework.

A Christmas gift from VirtualPlay. Gotta love Charmander.

Sandshark

It just sounded cool, I dunno.
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: 1 - # - #

One of my starters (only two of which I still seem to own, hm). She's battled before, but I can't find those old old old threads to link to them and don't feel like bothering.

Cujo
Gender	Male	Ability	Intimidate (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
After the killer dog in Stephen King's novel of the same name, which I have not read but plan to eventually.
Total Battles: 2
Current Battles: 1 - # - #			Past Battles: 1 - # - #
Too Much Information
My only other remaining starter. Why do I always start with a Growlithe, anyway? Eh, they always work out so well, so I guess I can't complain. Like Sandshark, Cujo has done a few things before, but I really don't feel like digging the old ones up.

José Jalapeño on a Stick
Gender	Male	Ability	Keen Eye (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
Because Jeff Dunham is hilarious. >|

wtf why the name D:
Lame mispelling of "hypnotic".
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: 1 - # - #
Too Much Information
A gift from someone, I don't remember who, who apparently didn't know that I don't care for Drowzee and Hypno. It's not their fault, of course, it's not like I have a wishlist or anything (like on TCoD *cough*). He's turned out to be pretty fun to work with, though, so I really can't complain.

Exocranium
Gender	Male	Ability	Rock Head (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
It means "external cranium".
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: 1 - # - #

After the Con Rit, a segmented, centipede-like sea serpent cryptid; also after a Gyarados character in a planned fanfic.
Total Battles: 0
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #

Needed a Water-type and I've never used Gyarados before. Should be interesting.

Lafayette
Gender	Male	Ability	Run Away (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
Actually, I really don't know. It just sort of popped into my head.
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: 1 - # - #
Too Much Information
Bought in an attempt to diversify my team a bit more; I wanted a nice, versatile little Normal-type, and Sentret and Furret aren't half bad. We'll see if little Lafayette can't make a name for himself, mm?

Inflatable Pants
Gender	Female	Ability	Cute Charm (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
...don't ask.

More experimentation, ho hum.

Falchion

A falchion is a type of sword; it's also the name of a stat-swap Skarmory evolution I made up.
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: 1 - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #
Too Much Information
I needed a Flying-type and Skarmory seemed like it might be fun to try.

Eidolon
Gender	Female	Ability	Intimidate (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
An eidolon is a spirit or apparition; also, after Eidol, my HeartGold Stantler (whose name would have been "Eidolon" if the Japanese games allowed names longer than five characters).
Total Battles: 0
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #
Too Much Information
A gift from MLG. I have a Stantler in my HeartGold team that I really enjoy using, so I thought I might try one in ASB.

A khamsin is a scorching desert wind.

Total Battles: 0
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #
Too Much Information
Chris 2.0's trusty Blaziken, given to me when he thought he was leaving ASB for good. Of course, that was around the same time I said that I was leaving, so I'm not sure why he gave it to me, but now that I'm back I'll make sure to do him proud.

Tenebrous
Gender	Male	Ability	Quick Feet (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
Tenebrous means "dark". Simple enough.
Total Battles: 0
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #

A gift from River. Why people give gifts to me when I say that I'm leaving I do not understand, but I appreciate the generosity; I couldn't possibly turn down my favorite Pokémon, after all.

Action Jackson
Gender	Male	Ability	Vital Spirit (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
I don't remember where I heard the name, but it has "action" in it so it's ironic or something so whatever.
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: 1 - # - #
Too Much Information
A gift from Crazy Elf Boy. I'm too big a pansy to try Slaking in TCoDASB or in the video games (other than the Battle Factory), but when there's no Truant... mwahahahaha.

Syzygy
Gender	Female	Ability	Plus (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
After the X-Files episode of the same name; this has just about nothing to do with Plusle but sort of kind of goes well with Minun's name so shut up.
Total Battles: 0
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #
Too Much Information
Random Pokémon from a Christmas egg run. Goes well with Via, at any rate.

Via Negativa
Gender	Female	Ability	Minus (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
After the X-Files episode of the same name, which has nothing at all to do with anything remotely Minun-like other than the "negative" thing.
Total Battles: 1
Current Battles: 1 - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #
Too Much Information
An egg gift from Asilynne.

Giocoso
Gender	Male	Ability	Own Tempo (N/A)

Total Battles: 0
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #
Too Much Information
A Christmas gift from Mew Master, and something else I've been dying to try. I was planning on getting a Spoink on TCoD, of course, but this works too.

Harmattan

wtf why the name D:
A harmattan is a scorching desert wind.
Total Battles: 0

I went into the Safari Zone looking for either an Aron or a Larvitar; not only did I find the Larvitar, but I found this guy and caught him without a fight. :3 Lovely little bonus there, eh?

Euphony

wtf why the name D:
I didn't name her.

I got this guy in a trade with Weasel Overlord. Absol are pretty kickass Pokémon and their diverse movepools make them crazy dangerous in ASB, so I'm glad to have him.

Gwil
Gender	Male	Ability	Shed Skin (N/A)
wtf why the name D:
After a Mothim character in a planned fanfic.
Total Battles: 0
Current Battles: # - # - #			Past Battles: # - # - #
