On Hold List
This is a list for people that want to join, but the crew is currently full or they are waiting to be tested. You are then put "On Hold" until their is an open spot. You are still allowed to post in here along with ally threads.
You must only rank battle the person that's one rank above yours. If someone declares a rank battle, one of the leaders must know, until then, the battle is on hold. Once a leader or co-leader knows, then please PM your opponent. If your opponent doesn't show up in 2 days after you challenged them, you win by default. Once you just went up a rank, you must wait one day before you challenge your next opponent. If you will be inactive or unable to play for a while, ask a leader or co-leader and you can refrain from being challenged for a select amount of time, but if you were already challenged by someone then you are responsible for getting that done.
Rules
Spoiler: Competitive Battling Rules
[New Rule: Latias] As many of you may or may not know, Latias has been moved from the Uber tier to OU/BL on smogon (The item Soul Dew is banned from OU/BL). It was tested, and found to be underwhelming, and they will be testing Latios in the near future. However, this is important, I'm aware many of you (since Platinum isn't out in English) don't play with the changes in Platinum. For those that play on WiFi, and don't agree to play with Platinum changes, Latias is Uber (for those that play on shoddy, or on wifi with platinum changes, Latias is OU). The reason for this is Latias was tested in a Platinum environment, where many things have gotten better, and Latias stayed relatively the same (Trick and Outrage being the only significant changes and due to Latias' stats Outrage will likely only be used on "surprise" sets). Not only that, but the D/P metagame is over, there will most likely be no more updates for it (does not mean that people can't/don't play it), the Platinum metagame however, is still in the process of evolving. For more information you can post questions in the Resource/Discussion thread, or pm me. [/new rule]
Okay, well, let's start off with the rules people are going to be using in most competitive settings, Neoseeker or non.
The following fall under the category of "Standard Rules", so you should be following all of these when you agree to that pretense.
Sleep Clause
You may only afflict one enemy pokemon with sleep at a time. You may sleep another only after the first wakes up or gets knocked out. This rule exists to prevent every game from turning into a "who can sleep everyone on the other team first" fest. Mass sleep is just stupid, because you'd have to use crappy Insomniacs or Sleep Talk on everything. When Sleep Talk allows you to choose the move used by it, then this rule will be lifted.
Note: Even if a move, such as Yawn, would not immediately put something to sleep, it still violates sleep clause if something was already asleep through means of the Yawn caster's team.
Note: Self-inflicted sleep (Rest) does not apply towards sleep clause, because the player willingly used it.
Note: Ability-inflicted sleep (Effect Spore) does technically apply towards sleep clause, so don't sleep another if this occurs, but don't freak out about it if it goes off after sleeping someone first, as this doesn't happen enough to matter.
Evasion Clause
Don't use Double Team and Minimize. The game becomes dreadfully dull when every game is DT x6 followed by Baton Pass to a sweeper. DTing walls will never die either. Some may say "carry haze", but the fact is, Hazers, Vaporeon aside, are very easy to kill, and you won't have pure hazers, which is what Double Team demands you to have. No need to say this would take all the fun and skill out of the game.
Note: Abilities such as Sand Veil and Snow Cloak are fine, as those are conditional.
One-hit KO Clause
Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, and Sheer Cold don't belong in competitive play. Bogus random kills are just luck and don't reflect player skill in any way.
Species Clause
No having two pokemon of the same species. Try to be original, k?
Note: You can feel free to have a pokemon and a lower evolution, such as a Porygon2 and a Porygon-Z, as they are different pokemon.
Hax Item Clause
Bright Powder Focus Band King's Rock Lax Incense Lucky Punch (Yeah, like this matters, amirite?) Quick Claw Razor Claw Razor Fang Scope Lens Stick (lol Farfetch'd)
The above items don't belong in a competitive atmosphere, as they are luck-based and don't reflect player ability.
Note: Just because I know someone is going to ask: No, Focus SASH is not one of these. Keep your items straight.
Self-KO Clause
Moves that KO the user or rely on the user being KOd (Destiny Bond, Explosion, Memento, etc.) are not allowed to be used if the would-be user is the last pokemon remaining.
Ubers
The following pokemon cannot be used without the consent of both players:
Smogon has moved Latias down from Ubers, however Soul Dew is a banned item, see Above for more information.
These rules aside, you may see a few others, but they are not omnipresent like the above, and are thus optional and NOT "Standard Rules":
Duplicate Item Clause
Some choose to play under the circumstance that no two pokemon should carry the same hold item. Many reject this on account that Leftovers is often the best item for each of their pokemon.
Extended Game Clause
It is optional, when playing with Ubers, to have to deal with Arceus, despite it not being obtainable without the use of a hacking device. So the Extended Game Clause allows the use of Arceus in Uber battles, as well as various berries not obtainable in-game. ________
Alright, so those things addressed, let's go to a few of the things you should and shouldn't do on wifi:
Play with Voice Chat OFF if it is a serious game. It can invade privacy and play into unnecessary mindgames (which nicknames and pokeball seals already do anyway).
You should thank your opponent for playing.
Don't disconnect. If it's unintentional, fine, but if it happens every time and/or just so happens to be when your last pokemon faints, people will know something is up. There is never any reason to disconnect, as you can select RUN if there is actually a legitimate reason for you to leave and do something else. Learn to use this forfeit function.
In other words, be a good sport. You agree to the terms of play before battling, and if you lose, it's usually your own doing. Don't try to pass off someone else's smart play as "cheap" to justify your loss. A loss is a loss, and we should learn and grow from those. Though, it's courteous to give someone a rematch if they ask for it, particularly in the rare case of critical hits all over the place (without high-crit moves).
To bring a little hint of the SSB environment into this, if someone is making excuses, meet them with a stern "No Johns".
~Duplicate Item Clause Excluded~ ~6 vs. 6~ ~Level 100~ ~No Super Hacks (Pokemon with Impossible Stats/Moves/Abilities/etc.)~ ~Pokesav will be allowed as long as it does not break the above rule~
When you join the clan, you will be placed at the bottom of each list you can participate in (this is determined by the information you supply when joining, Friend Codes and/or Shoddy Name). If you end up obtaining any of these while in the clan, you will be placed at the bottom of that list.

The battle for the fate of the universe was at stake, the evil Snorlax of Doom was threatening to destroy the world. The worlds only hope was the power of the Epic Magikarp. They stood there in the canyon as the storm rolled in. The snorlax made the first move. It used REST in such a fashion it knocked Epic Magikarp to the ground. The magikarp then used the power of the Mystical Action Replay Orb and used Spirit Bomb and the Snorlax died
