We're making Meloetta-Style Forms! Reminder that there are two major changes in place for this CAP.
First, this thread is only for Section Leader applications. Topic Leader applications occurred in a past thread before Framework submissions began.
Second, CAP 36 will operate off of a framework. Read this post to understand how this project will differ from typical CAP Projects.

This is the thread for people to announce their desire to become Section Leaders (SLs) for this creation project. Do not suggest other users. If someone wants to become a Section Leader, they will post on their own, and if they don't have a strong urge to be it then they shouldn't be signing up anyway. The CAP project requires the utmost dedication and a substantial amount of free time, especially to lead, meaning that only those who have carefully considered the magnitude of their application will apply at all. If you are not prepared to fulfill all of the responsibilities to the very end, then do not throw your hat into the ring.
Before applying, it is important to read and understand the following posts:
Topic Leadership
CAP 5 - Policy Review Summary
Either-Or Leadership Applications
The Topic Leadership Team (TLT) is made up of the following five positions to lead the creation of this new Pokemon. This thread is only for Section Leader applications. The Topic Leader has already been selected in a previous poll.
This thread is strictly for candidacy posts and posts supporting those candidates. Please stay on topic. Below are the guidelines for posting in this thread:

Either-Or Leadership Applications
The Topic Leadership Team (TLT) is made up of the following five positions to lead the creation of this new Pokemon. This thread is only for Section Leader applications. The Topic Leader has already been selected in a previous poll.
- Topic Leader: In the public's eyes, this is the leader of the project. Overall, the goal of the TL is "quality control", not "project control". The responsibilities of the TL include running Concept Assessment, Threats Discussion, and finalizing the slates of Section Leaders. For CAP 36 specifically, the TL will also slate frameworks.
- Section Leaders: The Section Leaders will be leading the four major competitive aspects of creating a Pokemon. They will make slates for their respective threads and provide meaningful discussion points to their specific area. Note that TLT members are allowed to make submissions during stages of the CAP process that they are not actively leading:
- Typing Leader
- Ability Leader
- Stats Leader
- Movepool Leader
- Deep knowledge of the game of Pokemon
- Familiarity with competitive Pokemon concepts, strategy and philosophy, as practiced within Smogon
- Willing to voice opinions and lead others
- Open-minded to new ideas
- Creative, "outside-of-the-box" thinker
- Good writing skills
- Level-headed when resolving disputes
- Liked and respected by the CAP community
This thread is strictly for candidacy posts and posts supporting those candidates. Please stay on topic. Below are the guidelines for posting in this thread:
- Candidates will benefit from highlighting their active involvement throughout the duration of a recent CAP project. Involvement in multiple CAP projects is strongly preferred.
- Do not suggest other people. If you want you encourage someone else to run, then send them a PM or talk to them on the PS! CAP chatroom or the CAP Discord channel.
- If you are new to the CAP project, do not sign up in this thread. Instead, spend a project or two lurking, learning, and participating first.
- Include a summary of your involvement in the CAP project.
- Make a pitch for why you should be selected. If you can't present and defend yourself, then you can't expect to lead a project whose primary function is discussion and debate. Convince us that you are a good choice.
- Even if you don't think you are better qualified than certain other candidates, you still should consider posting your application. Candidates not selected as TL this project will be on the watchlist for next time around. Don't post your name if you don't intend to be active in the project, even if you are not selected, since people will be scrutinizing your involvement more closely.
- Feel free to post support for any candidates already named.
- Do not post disparaging remarks about any candidates.
