I don't know how much interest there will be in having the Scramble Awards, but if there is enough, I might be interested in hosting them. I don't know exactly what it involves, though; I assume posting the post that has all the categories and nominees (duh), as well as maybe helping in choosing nominees, and obviously counting up the votes. I'll shoot you a PM asking more about it.Well, we've reached Page 272, so it might be time to start talking about the Scramble Awards for page 300.
-Is there even enough interest to do Scramble Awards?
-Do we have any devoted members who would be willing to host? I could, but I know some people were unhappy with the job I did last time...
-Do we have enough great recent Challanges to give awards to?
EDIT: Have to be careful with what I post, I'm rapidly approaching my 1K. That's why I haven't posted any challanges myself lately.
Hahaha!! Seriously, you need to make a BOOK out of this! It'd be a Smogon Best Seller!! Need more awesome!! ^_^Here is my White Scramble Update! (Previous Chapters can be found in my white scramble link, just check my sig~)
Welcome back! Game booted up, i'm in the basement of the library gym.
.......ok let's leave.
I enter the big front room of the museum

Lenora: BURGH!
Glacier, this is my sassy gay friend Burgh. You're standing in his gay bubble, so..... AW SHNAP.

Me: no......yes........PIGNITE HELP ME
*Pignite uses arm thrust! Glacier is sent flying out of the Gay Bubble!*
Thanks.......ick bloody nose.
(Burgh and I head on out to the Pinwheel Forest. I stay 20 feet away from him at all times. Not to be mean of course, Burgh is actually a cool guy. but, Gay Bubble forces me to be who i am not......)
Burgh: well, there are two ways through Pinwheel forest. One that goes through the entire place, through grass and trees and mud and nasty things, and the straight, clean road path! I'll take the Straight path (oh the irony), and you go through all those trees and shiz~
Me: Works for me.
walks through the tall grass, and what do i see?

*crawls through the nooks and crannies of the Pinwheel forest*
*steps out of the forest after grappling with Gingers, taking back a skull, and trekking through the beaten path of nature*
I AM TARZAN!
OOOOOEOOOOEEEOEEEOOOOOOOO~
(Deep inhale)
Alright, Bugsy gained another level! Time to hit up *New York City*, erm... i mean Castelia City!
City of Hookers, Hip-Hoppy street dancers, and Business People goofing off!
(yup sounds like NYC)
Oh wait, first i crossed the bridge.
THE BRIDGE.
....
It was beautiful <3
Alright, welcome welcome city of big buildings and boats blah blah blah!
......where do i go ._.
*Talks to black dancers*
Yo man hook a brotha up! find me some mo dancers!

AND THUS BLACK THUNDER
*Unova's most popular Hip Hop dance group of 2015-2018*
WAS BORN!
I feel accomplished :) (amulet coin get!)
Note: I was going through the alleyway of castelia city, and not going to lie, it reminded me of the first time i went to NYC. i actually went with a friend at 3am to get pizza (we was hungry for the pizzas), and we went through this dark, cliche city alley way. Scary stuff man. I saw things......i saw things 0.0
Ok seriously, what do i do next.....
Oh! Let's battle our new Gay friend at the gym!
*tries to enter the gym*
Cheren: Hello chap!
*cheren! :D)
Cheren: Ohoho! While you were lolli-gagging and playing with your dancing ruffians, it appears i have nabbed another badge!
Me: :/
Cheren: (Strokes manly pringles moustache) Tis ok though! I'm sure you can handle Burgh! Bug types are quite flammable!
Me: Ok :)
*Cheren leaves, and suddenly*
Burgh: Hello my frosty darling!
Me: *suddenly finding himself in the gay bubble* hi! oh um.... oh hi.
Burgh: Sadly, we cannot have our destined battle love! It appears i have artist's block~
Me: (i can help with that...) Oh um ok..
Burgh: Follow me! Let's beat up gingers~
*Burgh rushes onwards, and i break free from the GB*
Me: ._. not proud of myself.
We head to the docks, where who do i see?
MUNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA :( D: </3 THEY STOLE MUNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
oh man. bring on the waterworks.
Burgh: This is awful! It's time to play Sherlock Holmes- (puts on a snappy detective costume) and discover the mysterious of this majestic beauty!
Me: That didnt make any sense but somehow i entered the GB so yaaaaaaaaaay Burgh <3
*We end up battling GINGERSright by Burgh's gym*
Ghetsis: Welcome, my friends! Now, you see here, pokemon our are friends, correct? Play with them, love them, take care of them, and they take care of us. Quite wonderful if i do say so myself. But what if this is all wrong? Us keeping pokemon locked up in silly spherical devices, rotting in prisons just to be released to battle to the death? hah! i say no! Who are we to trap the pokemon? Let them live shells of lives they could be leading? No! i say we liberate the pokemon, and allow them the freedom they deserve from the treacherous hands of belliegerent human-kind!
Me: ...
Bianca: ...
Iris: (yeah, i didnt talk about her, but she's here) ...
Burgh: Sir, if i may step in.....
What you say seems intruiging at first, but your speech simply contradicts itself. Yes, there are Trainers both good and bad. But all love their pokemon. Strong pokemon, weak pokemon, they are labels, and no matter what label a pokemon has, they can break through it, with our help. We as humans have power to tap that potential, our beloved's potential. It is with us pokemon learn new moves, evolve, and gain a companion. We are as much to them as they are to us. We love the pokemon, and the pokemon love us back. Now why would you release them? Yes, freedom is very nice, but we do not certainly imprison them. My leavanny, for example, is free to leave as she pleases. So is my shuckle, whirlipede, scyther, and the rest of the good lot. But they have not left. Why is that so then, Ghetsis? If pokemon do not want to fight, or be with us humans? Bond and be our friends for life? I do not understand your case sir, and therefore, i shall stand in your way of all your nefarious, pokemon pilfering schemes!
Me: :o
Bianca: :O
Iris: (Not an important character why does she exist) :o
Ghetsis: .... return the blondie her pokemon! Let us depart!
BURGH 1, TEAM PLASMA 0
Burgh: My, i haven't used my debating skills since Uni~ Oh Glacier, dear, please do come visit me in my gym!
Me: Sure man! Nice speech too! (At a safe distance)
Yeah, Burgh, scared off Team Plasbad. He's a boss (note: i reallyreally like Burgh. He's a cool dude, Nintendo just had to make him.... yeah. you know. fabulous.which makes people mock his character and stuff. shame on them >:|)
and now, i go and Battle my wonderful new sassy gay friend!
__________________________________________________ _____
Burgh: Ah, Glacier :) dear companion! How did you enjoy my puzzles?

CHAPTER THREE OF WHITE SCRAMBLE, FIN~
As I said, Jimera, I am a paitent person. I have waited this long, so I can wait some more. Just take your time to get what you need.Loving your updates Glacier Knight! They're very funny. I hope Bugsy serves you well, even without being able to use his grass stab!
My own scramble is still waiting on my purchase of the editing software I need for the videos. I plan on editing and uploading the update as soon as I get the program though, so hopefully it won't be much longer until it goes up. All depends on how fast I can get a prepaid credit card.
as for the scramble awards I don't think I'll be doing any nominating this time. I've just not been paying enough attention to the thread over the last hundred pages and I know that I no longer have the patience to sift through all the Pokemon that've been submitted. I'm sure you guys can manage without my usual huge list though :P
Top 2!! Hope Fang gets better for you ^_^My fourth update, this time from Ecruteak City, having beaten Morty.
Quite a lot has happened since I left Goldenrod City. Not only have I beaten Morty of the Ecruteak Gym to acquire the Fog Badge, but Fang has evolved all the way to Crobat, Sunshine has evolved into Sunflora and Sleepy is now a Noctowl! Not bad for a day's work.
Evolving Sunshine required a lot of grinding; she grew all the way to level 25, mostly against Machop and Geodude in Mt. Mortar, before she was able to take on any Fire-type pokémon. My first attempt was against a wild Growlithe just south of the city, where she used a combination of Leech Seed and Endeavour, taking an Ember hit inbetween and then relying on Growlithe not attacking again. Superb strategy, if I do say so myself. More impressively, she used the same strategy against a Charmeleon inside Burned Tower, which was fixated on using Leer and nothing else. Leech Seed sapped its entire health bar away without it attacking me once. A few more Growlithe later, she was able to evolve into Sunflora!
Fang evolved whilst grinding for Morty, and then straight away again at level 23. Perhaps because I've been giving her lots of haircuts and the Soothe Bell, but I'm still very happy that she loves me enough to evolve at the earliest opportunity!
The gym battle was pretty easy. I gave Sleepy a Quick Claw to hold, and she swept through the trainers prior to Morty with Hypnosis. His Gastly and Haunter couldn't do a great deal before he sent out Gengar. Quick Claw activated to put it to sleep, and from then on it was a case of using Confusion before he woke up. He did wake up and Morty used a Hyper Potion before the end of the battle which made things a little more tense, but when Gengar was down, and his final Haunter used Curse on half health, I had earned the Fog Badge! And Sleepy could finally evolve.
So without further ado, here's the team:
Sunshine the Sunflora [F]
Level 24, Careful @ Miracle Seed
Solar Power
-Endeavor
-Leech Seed
-Mega Drain
-Ingrain
Still my LVP because of how annoying she was to evolve and the fact that she can't take on any Water-types. Flying, Water and Fire are really quite common at this point in the game, and she was unable to hurt anything for real damage in Morty's gym either, so that wasn't great. Endeavor isn't reliable as a main attacking move, and neither is Mega Drain. The other major problem with Endeavor is that if I'm on really low HP, where it's most powerful, I have to switch to ... as part of my Scramble's rules!
... the Chikorita [F]
Level 23, Lonely @ Everstone
Overgrow
-Magical Leaf
-Reflect
-Synthesis
-Poisonpowder
I've barely used her at all since battling Whitney, as she was hopeless in the Ecruteak Gym and I spent the rest of the time levelling up Sunshine and others. Magical Leaf is a pretty awful move.
Switch in and win count 6/15
Defeat with poison only count 0/10
Wannabe the Scyther [F]
Level 23, Jolly
Swarm
-Wing Attack
-Quick Attack
-Focus Energy
-Pursuit
Really useful against all the trainers on either side of Ecruteak City. Focus Energy is quite good. It's definitely made some battles easier and the advent of Wing Attack means I now have something to take on Grass-types with apart from Sleepy's very weak Peck.
Fang the Crobat [F]
Level 23, Hasty
Inner Focus
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-Astonish
-Bite
I can't have a third stage pokémon and not have it in my top two, even if her only decent attack is Bite. Bite helped me quite a lot in the gym and she's done her fair share outside as well. When she learns Poison Fang I might teach her Fly for outside-of-battle use and see if that role makes her any more valuable to the team.
Sleepy the Noctowl [F]
Level 26, Bold
Keen Eye @ Quick Claw
-Confusion
-Peck
-Reflect
-Hypnosis
The undeniable star of the show. She's beaten three out of four gym leaders pretty much by herself now and she's looked good whilst doing it. Evolution is only going to help her grow. Will she be able to keep it up? Find out in the next exciting installment!
Well, being in the top 50% is STILL good!! You work pretty fast, you know O_oSo Chuck was quite difficult but I finished him off in the end.
Due to having cleaned up all the trainers on either side of Ecruteak City as part of my grinding before I battled Morty there wasn't much to do now apart from make a beeline for Cianwood City. There, I'd need to get the Secretpotion and beat Chuck for the Storm Badge.
That turned out to happen pretty quickly, especially as the very first pokémon I fished up in Olivine City was Bottoms Up the Corsola, the final member of my party! At last I'd have a water-type! She's not the best water type out there but she'll do.
After surfing over to Cianwood, defeating countless annoying Tentacool en route, there wasn't much else to do asides from challenge Chuck straight away. I'd completely forgotten that there's a bit of a jump in level here and so he took me a little by surprise. I still won though! Sadly Bottoms Up had fainted before going into this battle, but I didn't think she'd be that much use anyway. Fang did her best, biting Primeape four times before it finally hit me with Rock Slide. Next out was Sleepy, hoping to use Hypnosis before Primeape could use Rock Slide, but I missed twice and was hit twice - the first time Sleepy has participated in and been useless in a gym battle! ... finished the job though, using Magical Leaf to get around Primeape's Double Teams as it tried to use Focus Punch on me. Next out was Poliwrath which got a critical hit on ... to knock it out as well. All I had left was Bottoms Up and Wannabe, so it was going to be tight. Sunshine came out first to soften Poliwrath up, but could only lay down a Leech Seed before being KO'd with Body Slam. Wannabe did a lot better: immediately getting a critical hit Wing Attack to take Poliwrath down to only a sliver of its HP. But he paralysed me back with Body Slam, and healed with a Hyper Potion as my next Wing Attack failed to crit. We exchanged blows a few times, I healed with a Super Potion and soon enough the battle was mine. Only one paralysed pokémon left! Jasmine might be harder. We shall see.
The team:
Bottoms Up the Corsola [F]
Level 27, Bold
Natural Cure
-Surf
-Recover
-Refresh
-Rock Blast
I guess she's going to be my LVP but only because she's only battled wild pokémon and a handful of trainers so far. She was pretty crappy in the Cianwood Gym too. She'll improve. Rock Blast is a pointless attack on her.
Sunshine the Sunflora [F]
Level 27, Careful @ Miracle Seed
Solar Power
-Endeavor
-Leech Seed
-Mega Drain
-Ingrain
She's helped out a little since evolving but it wasn't anything the rest of the team wasn't capable of. I suppose the Leech Seed on Poliwrath might have contributed to the KO but I'm not entirely convinced.
... the Chikorita [F]
Level 27, Lonely @ Everstone
Overgrow
-Magical Leaf
-Reflect
-Synthesis
-Poisonpowder
Nothing has improved since last time apart from her level. She's improved her evolution count slightly.
Switch in and win count 8/15
Defeat with poison only count 0/10
Fang the Crobat [F]
Level 27, Hasty
Inner Focus
-Leech Life
-Supersonic
-Fly
-Bite
Obviously not much help in a Fighting Gym when she can only use Bite and Leech Life. She falls to third because of how good Wannabe was just then, and because she's not really done anything particularly important yet.
Wannabe the Scyther [F]
Level 28, Jolly
Swarm
-Wing Attack
-Quick Attack
-Focus Energy
-Pursuit
Saved the day against Chuck! And generally she's holding her own quite well against a range of threats. Anything that doesn't wall her is taken down pretty quickly, and I can switch her in to more than her typing would suggest. She was absolutely crucial in the Cianwood Gym, beating more than half of the trainers as well as getting the win against Poliwrath.
Sleepy the Noctowl [F]
Level 27, Bold
Keen Eye @ Quick Claw
-Confusion
-Peck
-Reflect
-Hypnosis
Still my MVP: one gym doesn't change all that. If I'd been a bit more intelligent and used something else to beat Primeape then I'd probably have ended up using her to defeat Poliwrath and would be raving about how incredible she is.
It could too be a book. And why didn't you spell fabulous fabulous?Oh stop flattering me King_Serperior. :P
It surely couldn't be a book. Much too silly. Could be an abridged series :P
I think once I finish the white scramble I'll do a more serious challenge on SS.
No, you may not.Can I ask for Scrambles for well known Rom Hacks?
