Challenge 6 Progress Tracking and Results (Total Drama Allstars Pokemon teams)

Next to each contestant's names, I'll list the Total Drama All Star they picked, the Pokemon they picked for their team, and any errors they made. If no errors are listed, then they did the best job possible in this challenge.

Victini’s Searing Shots (VSS)
1.Tepig-firebid1030(Alejandro; Tepig, Pignite, Emboar, Oshawott, Dewott, Samurott) You explained that Fire and Water type Pokemon are YOUR favorite Pokemon but you were supposed to build a Pokemon team based off of ALEJANDRO'S interests.

2.Simisage-NegaSub(Sam; Klinklang, Elgyem, Beheeyem, Throh, Sigilyph, Reuniclus) Selected one of the restricted Pokemon, Genesect

3.Blitzle-kietgreen(Lightning; Zebstrika, Sawk, Throh, Emboar, Bouffalant, Basculin-Blue) Only explained why Lightning and Zebstrika were a good fit.

4.Gurdurr-shadethedarksoul8(Excused)

5.Petilil-pokemonand9(Lindsay; Petilil, Lilligant, Musharna, Jellicent-F, Maractus, Cinccino) Didn't explain any of her selections

6.Zoroark-firefang20(Lightning; Raichu, Raikou, Manectric, Electivire, Eelektross, Zoroark) 4 of the 6 Pokemon you selected aren't Unova Pokemon. However I understand you were confused since you don't want Total Drama (BUT YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD)

7.Emolga-NightBlastingSkitty(didn't do the challenge; has 1 strike)

8.Elgyem-Typemania(didn't do the challenge; has 1 strike)

9.Axew-Yymastaconfuctious(Courtney; Haxorus, Virizion, Lilligant, Dewott, Unfezant-F, Emboar)

10.Braviary-PokemonFanKH2(Lightning; Braviary, Machamp, Ursaring, Gengar, Electrode, Jolteon) Selected several Non-Unova Pokemon

11.Heatmor-StepSoneful(Alejandro; Heatmor, Jellicent-M, Zoroark, Swoobat, Eelektrik, Braviary)

12.Volcarona-wifishark8(Excused)

13.Tirtouga-MultiMariofan123(didn't do the challenge; has 1 strike)


Keldeo’s Justice Swords (KJS)
1.Pignite-gopokemon121(Excused)

2.Panpour-joshytje5(Lindsay; Simipour, Lilligant, Gothitelle, Cinccino, Leavanny, Swanna) Your explanation was pretty short but it wasn't too bad.

3.Sandile-nintendofan204(didn't do the challenge; has 1 strike)

4.Maractus-rocerdude404(didn't do the challenge; has 1 strike)

5.Scrafty-redfrog45(Duncan; Scrafty, Sawk, Krookodile, Gothitelle, Audino, Deino)

6.Ducklett-shadowkirby10100(Scott; Regirock, Charmander, Monferno, Cyndaquil, Charizard, Haunter) Didn't explain any choices besides Regirock, didn't select ANY Unova Pokemon, and forgot to include Ducklett/Swanna on his team

7.Swanna-kevandkeith42120(Heather; Swanna, Sawsbuck, Mandibuzz, Liepard, Zoroark, Sawk)

8.Mienshao-TheVaporeon123(Alejandro; Mienshao, Watchog, Purrloin, Krokorok, Scrafty, Tornadus) Your explanations were not so good.

9.Virizion-TheLazyRiku(Zoey; Virizion, Charmeleon, Simipour, Luxray, Larvitar, Swellow) You included many non-Unova Pokemon

10.Keldeo(Resolute)-Franky494(Lindsay; Jellicent-F, Sawsbuck-Spring, Lilligant, Leavanny, Serperior, Virizion) you didn't include the Pokemon you were playing as (Keldeo) but I'll let it slide since it conflicted with the Legendary Pokemon restrictions

11.Carracosta-CharmanderIsAwesome(Lightning; Carracosta, Serperior, Hydreigon, Beartic, Volcarona, Eelektross)


Meloetta’s Relic Singers (MRS)
1.Oshawott-TheLazySora(Heather; Liepard) Didn't explain and only picked one Pokemon

2.Purrloin-dudeski7373(Courtney; Liepard, Mienshao, Bisharp, Scolipede, Galvantula, Beartic)

3.Pidove-Rhbkblader88(Cameron; Snivy, Watchog, Elgyem, Pidove, Sigilyph, Zorua) The explanation was a bit general and lackluster.

4.Zebstrika-TheZappingZebstrika(Excused)

5.Lilligant-clilmama33830(Gwen; Lilligant, Gothorita, Scolipede, Scrafty, Zoroark, Chandelure)

6.Cofagrigus-THEDKA3(Lightning; Cofagrigus, Machoke, Conkeldurr, Hariyama, Hitmonchan, Throh) Picked Non-Unova Pokemon

7.Cinccino-Bunpuffy(Lindsay; Cinccino, Lilligant, Simipour, Whimsicott, Emolga, Unfezant-F)

8.Cubchoo-less4u2c(Cameron; Cubchoo, Darmanitan, Cofagrigus, Reuniclus, Volcarona, Ferrothorn)

9.Bouffalant-jacobwinner1999(Heather; Bouffalant, Scrafty, Liepard, Serperior, Hydreigon, Jellicent-F)

10.Deerling-FallingUpStars(Excused)


Genesect’s Drive Arsenal(GDA)
1.Snivy-LolliPopGirlMeow(Lindsay; Snivy, Lilligant, Cinccino, Audino, Simipour, Swoobat)

2.Leavanny-masterofflam(Cameron; Leavanny, Cubchoo, Scraggy, Joltik, Elgyem, Golurk)

3.Scraggy-ForrestMightyena247(Sam; Scraggy, Emboar, Sawk, Conkeldurr, Mienshao, Terrakion)

4.Garbodor-xtiandg0914(Sam; Garbodor, Klinklang, Beartic, Volcarona, Zorua, Scrafty) You misspelled Klinklang and Scrafty and your reasoning was "this is a good team and he's a gamer" but this team has a couple key and easily exploitable weaknesses and wouldn't he evolve Zorua into Zoroark?

5.Escavalier-TheMysterious2634(Duncan; Escavalier, Gigalith, Gurdurr, Scrafty, Zoroark, Bisharp)

6.Joltik-ShinyStoutland(Cameron; Joltik, Vullaby, Duosion, Venipede, Excadrill, Bisharp)

7.Ferrothorn-2319mi(Cameron; Ferrothorn, Klinklang, Gigalith, Darmanitan, Sigilyph, Zoroark) Only explained one of his Pokemon selections

8.Golurk-PoryfulZ(Scott; Golurk, Zoroark, Krookodile, Excadrill, Hydreigon, Bisharp) Didn't do any explaining

9.Bisharp-regice112(Lightning; Conkeldurr, Gigalith, Bisharp, Cobalion, Accelgor, Escavalier)

10.Durant-Woodenfan(Alejandro; Durant, Conkeldurr, Chandelure, Krookodile, Watchog, Bisharp)

So in deciding the final results, I took into account individual errors and slackers and thought which team overall deserved which finish? And after careful thinking, I've come up with this.

1st place: Genesect's Drive Arsenal (immunity)
2nd place: Meloetta's Relic Singers (we got a quitter)
3rd place: Keldeo's Justice Swords (vote off one(1) player)
4th place: Victini's Searing Shots (vote off two(2) players)

So Genesect's Drive Arsenal win their 2nd immunity challenge of the season. They're all safe.

More information regarding this will be explained at the elimination but since Deerling-FallingUpStars is quitting, Meloetta's Relic Singers are exempt from the vote. And two more topics regarding quitters.

1.I set a precedent in Elimination 2 that the quitter is't automatically the lowest ranking elimination of the round but just substitutes the voted off player for that team. So Deerling will get 49th place. I'm sorry if this seems kinda messed up for some people but it is what it is.

2.3 quitters in 6 eliminations. I'm not made at Deerling because he's got probably one of the best reasons why he felt he needed to step down I've gotten in a long time but after this, I hope this stops. No more quitters after this please. It really disappoints me. Again, not your fault Deerling. I'm not mad at you, this is just my attitude towards quitting in general.

So the Keldeo and Victini teams are still voting someone off. Due to "Luck of the Tiebreaker", any ties that may occur will be broken by determining who got their amount of votes first. Please send your votes ASAP. I'd like to have this elimination done and the next challenge to start by tomorrow night but if more time is necessary, I'll give some more time. You guys know what you need to do. Vote for the correct amount of players specified above, explain your votes, and as always this isn't mandatory but I appreciate confessionals and replying to these posts. So get voting!

Also I apologize to people sending confessionals while challenges are going on. Most likely I won't be posting them on my blog posts but feel free to post those confessionals here if you'd like :)

The Victini team have been trying to find their way back ever since losing their first challenge at challenge 3. The challenge had to do with analyzing the cites of the Pokemon world, especially the biggest of them all, Castelia City. You know what island you can access from Castelia City? Liberty Garden Island. What Pokemon can you find there (via event)? Victini. And which team took first place and won immunity? VICTINI'S SEARING SHOTS! They made it 3 wins out of 5 challenges. Meloetta's Relic Singers got 2nd yet again, Genesect's Drive Arsenal got 3rd and Keldeo's Justice Swords got 4th. Another 5 players will be eliminated! Find out who they are after these confessionals!

Cofagrigus-THEDKA3(MRS): Lavender Town theme is epic.
Golurk-PoryfulZ(GDA): come on guys, we were doing good and now we stink! come on guys!
Leavanny-masterofflam(GDA): I hope after this vote, we can get rid of all of the slackers and take 1st again.
Pidove-Rhbkblader88(MRS): This is probably the worst score I got,but second again!!!1 percent away from 1st!!!
Zebstrika-TheZappingZebstrika(MRS): Sorry dude, But to my knowledge, you haven't done a SINGLE challenge all game. We can't afford that on our team right now. You gotta go.
Escavalier-TheMysterious2634(GDA): gee. how convenient. two people didn't do the challenge and we have vote off two people. irony, you work in many ways.
Virizion-TheLazyRiku(KJS): Well I think i've proved myself that i'm good in my team. Even though i was inactive for a bit i want to prove myself i'm actually helpful :) So hopefully i stay ^^
Keldeo(Resolute)-Franky494(KJS): YES, 46 days til X and Y comes out
Mienshao-TheVaporeon123: We Lost..Again!*Sighs*
Panpour-joshytje5(KJS): I'm really scared I might go now but I think I might be safe
I mean Whimsicott barely did a challenge at all so I think people will keep me over him but I'm still really scared

First up Keldeo's Justice Swords. Two members of this team will be eliminated. One of these eliminations takes the form of a quitter.

57th place: Sawk-shadowthehedgehog125. You felt you were in too many camps and this was the one you could afford to quit the most. I can respect that. You've won my very first camp and you've been a consistent visitor to my series, which is great. Glad to have you around even if you had to go like this.

It was a 7-4 vote between Panpour and Whimsicott, both who forgot to do this challenge. The final player safe is...................PANPOUR!

56th place: Whimsicott-SuperPlatformer, 7 votes sealed your fate. You were pretty active a few months ago but not so much lately. Sorry but this vote off was pretty deserved. Panpour has been doing better despite this one challenge.

Next up is Genesect's Drive Arsenal. It was a 10-9-1 vote between Servine, Galvantula, and Durant. All of them except Durant failed to do this challenge. The final player safe is................DURANT!

55th place: Servine-therox94, you've become the first addon eliminated from the game. You've done nothing since you joined the game so you deserved to go. Not much else to say.

54th place: Galvantula-chimchar279. I know you have other stuff you do on YouTube but your team enjoys winning so in order to get back to doing that, players who don't do challenges are going. However you were more active than Servine so at least you deservedly got the higher ranking.

Now for the Meloetta's Relic Singers, rounding out another elimination. It was a 5-4 vote between this challenge's non-participators Oshawott and Beartic. Between these players we have 3 vaporterra camp victories, but you can't stay alive in the game today by living in the past. The final player safe with 4 votes is................OSHAWOTT!

53rd place: Beartic-BlackMagic622, you won Total Pokemon Black 2, you were the only one of the two winners of Black 2/White 2 to sign up for this camp, I'm sure most people expected more from you but a lot of different situations have prevented you from delivering. 5 votes were just enough to eliminate the most recent camp winner and likely the biggest dormant threat from the game.

Another quitter and another 4 players voted off. We're down to 44 players currently in the game. However, after elimination 6, 4 more addons will return to the competition! Also due to YouTube maintenance happening during challenge 5, everyone's strikes were removed and no one was awarded any strikes. So that means everyone starts off with a relatively good standing. Which players will give it their all in this challenge, and which team will be victorious?

Thanks for playing shadowthehedgehog125, superplatformer, therox94, chimchar279, and blackmagic622

Ok now for challenge 6. Total Drama All Stars starts in less than 2 weeks for the USA. Here's the cast

Heroes
Cameron
Courtney
Lindsay
Mike
Sam
Sierra
Zoey

Villains
Alejandro
Duncan
Gwen
Heather
Jo
Lightning
Scott

Step 1: Pick one of those 14 contestants
Step 2: Pick 6 UNOVA Pokemon (they can be unevolved, fully evolved, whatever. You're limited to 1 Legendary and you can't pick Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, or Genesect) that would be that character's team. ONE OF THOSE POKEMON MUST BE EITHER THE POKEMON YOU ARE PLAYING AS OR (IF YOU PREFER) THE FINAL EVOLUTION OF THE POKEMON YOU ARE PLAYING AS!
Step 3: Explain why you chose those Pokemon for your character (you don't have to explain the Pokemon you were forced to choose, but you must make some kind of connection between the Pokemon you are (or its evolution) and the Total Drama character you choose.

If you have any questions, let me know. The challenge will end sometime between 8 pm and 12 am Friday night. It should give you plenty of time to get this challenge done!

How I score this challenge is that your team gets penalized for every mistake you make, like failing to follow instructions or giving lackluster explanations. The team with the most participation and the best quality of work wins immunity. 2nd and 3rd place teams vote off 1 player. 4th place team votes off 2 players.

Let me know if you are in need of assistance or need to inform me of something important

Each challenge is one worth winning so get going!

Also one last thing. I was impressed by the participation in challenge and voting for round 5 of Total Pokemon Unova so things will stay as is. But if things decline, I'll play my hand.
