i know the idea was spun around the chatbox it self a few weeks ago so i wanna bring it back up over here just to refreshen Tdos & XLR8's memory incase they've forgotten what we were bouncing back & forth that day. cuz i'll admit i had forgot about it for a while till i signed in this morning XD. anyways..
With the kanto & jhoto leage merger idea, we would likely have to make it where the kanto/jhoto combo is that last league for players to attend, mainly because it'll be a know holds barred as far as fighting goes in there, tho i do recall there being a cap mention for limitations on how many legendarys one could use in the elite's fights for the said combo, i think it was either going to be 2 or 3, since more likely then naught by the time the player(s) reaches this final league, everyone they go up against will likely be tossing level 100's at them. (personally hoping its three due to how many great triios they've got out there to choose from, but thats just personal opin, not actual reason why it would be allowed 3 if we see it happen)
i also recall since theres going to be need of a complete set of 16 badges for the combo, that the idea of being to skip threw any of out of the 8 of the players choosings was an idea place out there.. sounds nice but... that might cause confusion as to who has to fight who for merely beginner's notes. between the ability to use the item launcher when needed(provided the player's in battle points aloud them to use it at the time of course >w>) and always being automatically healed before each match, they might have there hands full on both sides of the field, the sparks will like a pikachu bug-zapper as the battles happen, but sorry to get so off track. so yeah, there was alot of idea up in the air at the time so its hard to say, but if they do go threw with the mirger idea then they may have to shift any current gym leaders over to any of the other remaining league/gym openings for the other regions to fill in the gaps. i remember that being on of the concerns on the idea but the better part is alot of those who arent going to take the time to level to 100's wont have to in order to be gym leaders & such due to all the other gyms with level restiction matches & so forth that was also mentioned along those lines. also players will have to complete all the other leagues 1st before the combo of jhoto/kanto gyms get taken on, as i said if the idea goes there its more then likely every gym leader in the combo WILL be using 100's as will the contenders who manage to reach them. :3 alot of ifs but lets see if there still rolling the ball in that direction before we make anymore assumptions to the matter.. since its all still up in the air at the moment last i checked.
