CAP 2 Playtest RMT Stall Survives In a metagame that is intensely offensive, with threats the likes of which stall in BW has had much difficulty coming to cope with, one Pokemon arrived that would by some miracle bring everything together. Stall Survives is my final CAP playtest team, and my...

The Necturna playtest has begun! The battle matched players Rising_Dusk and capefeather against each other in an epic duel. I chose capefeather for my opponent because he has been active throughout the process, has epitomized the kind of logic that has made Necturna so successful, and has been...

So, it's here at last. CAP 2 is done. Necturna has been in development for 94 days, or just over 3 months. We've created a Pokemon from the ground up, focusing on the impacts that the presence of a single use of Sketch in the Pokemon's movepool would do to it, and here we are. With this all...

This poll is a result of a slight grammar adjustment possibility to the Pokedex entries that have been voted into reality for CAP 2. The grammar adjustment is to correct the strange use of passive voice in the original black entry and make it slightly less confusing and/or bothersome...

This is a very intriguing result for the final slate. I find that at every step of the CAP, community contributors have pushed for CAP 2 to be dark and malevolent, and yet in the Pokedex entry polls they have clearly totally changed their stance! The two finalists for Pokedex entries are...

We move ever forward to the end. This poll is a result of a four-way tie, and is intent on discerning which of the entries the users like the most. That is why this is an IRV poll following a MBV poll. Despite this unorthodox polling structure, I have no doubt that it is in the best interests of...

This is the poll for Pokedex entries for CAP 2. I was incredibly lenient with these, about as lenient as I was with names or art slates. My criteria for this slate included perfect spelling, correct grammar, simple sentences, length, simple modifiers, and no heavy involvement of other Pokemon in...

This is a fully flavor part of the CAP, and among the very last things we'll do for CAP 2 before final product and playtest. The rules here are very loose, but they exist, and so please keep them in mind. Note that unlike CAP 1 where users submitted the height, weight, and dex entries, here you...

Last one! I don't have anything witty to say, other than that we're getting really close to the end of the CAP and it's getting pretty exciting! I have listed every slated submission's author below in the order they placed in the last poll.elementalpenguin Wyverii This poll is a bold vote poll...

Now we're cookin' with gas! Three excellent submissions survive to this poll, and now we must choose our single favorites. There really isn't much for me to say here other than that I'm pretty excited! We're getting really close to the finish line here. I have listed every slated submission's...

Now, with the movepool known, I have collected all of the final submissions of the sprite stage to present to you here for judgment. Note that, as with art, I have exercised my TL capacity to slate art that I determine quality enough to represent our CAP. I have, as with art, been incredibly...

This is the last of the movepool polls, and will serve to finally decide which movepool we'll be using for CAP 2! I have created a spreadsheet that compares all of the remaining movepools. Please look at the spreadsheet to determine which competitive movepool you like the most. Look at the...

This is the second of the movepool polls, and will serve to further knock out entries until such point that we have the movepool for CAP 2. I have created a spreadsheet that compares all of the remaining movepools. Please look at the spreadsheet to determine which competitive movepool you like...

This poll marks what I consider a landmark achievement by the CAP community in terms of this concept. So successful were our discussions on the many facets of CAP movepools that I slated every single legal movepool that was submitted. Take that as a major pat on the back, particularly because of...

And now, the part you've all been waiting for, movepool submissions. In this thread, movepool designers will craft finalized movepools for CAP 2 based on the restrictions set forth in the discussion threads. Please consult this article for developing your movepool, as otherwise you will break...

This is a stage that used to coexist with the Stat Limits stage that took place earlier in the CAP. As a refresher, the results of Stat Limits can be found here. According to the on-site article, a 355 BSR limit roughly corresponds to 75 total moves and 35 VGMs. These limits, even with the...

This poll will determine which of the controversial moves from the Non-Attacking Moves Discussion thread will be allowed for CAP 2's movepool. Note that if a controversial move is voted to be allowed, that does not guarantee that it will be on movepools. If a move is voted to be disallowed...

The Smog #18 This issue is kind of a big deal for lots of reasons. As you can probably tell from the cover art, one of the hot topics of this issue is that the Smog Awards are back! Yeah, that's right! It's time to nominate your favorite users for the categories you think that they deserve to...

Onward and upward with movepools, as ever. We've completed the attacking moves segment of movepools, and the finalized version of it is present in the OP of that discussion thread. We still have one more discussion and poll that must take place before I start accepting movepool submissions for...

This poll will determine which of the controversial moves from the Attacking Moves Discussion thread will be allowed for CAP 2's movepool. Note that if a controversial move is voted to be allowed, that does not guarantee that it will be on movepools. If a move is voted to be disallowed, then it...
