(banner will come when we have stuff to put on it :3)
Welcome to Hoenn Echoes, a pet mod based around Generation 3 Ubers! The primary goal of this pet mod is to try and keep the core gameplay of Gen 3 Ubers, but to both give it a twist and attempt to lessen the impact RNG has on the game. Users will submit their ideas on how to retool Pokemon within this tier's context to make them more usable, or to add entirely new things to the tier. The mod will run for about 10-15 slates.Council:



Because the tier is based on Gen 3 Ubers, the mod will use Gen 3 mechanics unless explicitly stated otherwise. There have been some RNG elements changed, which can be found in the spreadsheet here. Since the goal of the mod is to attempt to keep it close-ish to the original tier, submissions will have to adhere to the metagame's pre-existing power level and not disrupt the balance already in place.
The slates for submission will be based on different parts of the existing metagame, i.e. a slate based on Sun, a slate based on adding new items, or a slate based on Rock-types.
The submission rules and guidelines are as follows:
- Each user can submit up to 3 entities for the given slate.
- The submission must list some checks/counters (or in the case of items, worthwhile alternatives) using tools already existent (and good) in the tier, as to ensure something doesn't go completely unanswered if it is added.
- We want the mod to still feel like it's a Gen 3 metagame. Try not to go too crazy with anything brand new that you're submitting.
- To further elaborate, we want the pet mod to feel accessible to people who have played Gen 3 Ubers before. As such, new Pokemon that are added should be recognizable in their roles, (such as Araquanid not being a Ghost/Dragon type who clicks Draco Meteor) and should be both fairly straightforward to understand and in-line with the general Generation 3 power level.
Some examples: Solar Power (normal) and Solar Power but for rain would be good, Protosynthesis/Rain variation would similarly be acceptable.
Creating a brand-new, not in vanilla game mechanic for a specific Pokemon would not be.

Voting Rules / Timeline
The submission phase will last 5 days. Most vetoes will most likely come from creating something with too high of a power level, and those will happen on the 5th day. You will get the rest of the time before voting to attempt to fix the submission.
The voting phase will last 2 days. Voters will submit in a ranked voting system, where they submit their favorites ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We will take at least the top 3 submissions at the end of the voting phase and add them to the mod. Voting for yourself is OK, but the highest you can put yourself is 3rd. For clarity, if you were to submit a Pokemon with its own signature move, let's say Illumise with Continental Crush, if Continental Crush was exclusive to Illumise, it would count together as 1 submission. If Continental Crush was instead given to 6 or 7 Pokemon, Continental Crush would count as its own change and be voted on as such.
