Challenge 12 tracking and results

Victini’s Searing Shots (VSS)
1.Tepig-firebid1030(did you know icirrus city is in eternal winter this is your region

did you know that iris has a crush on ash pokemon trainer unova region

did you know that snivy is a grass snake type pokemon unova pokemon
2.Simisage-NegaSub(The Battle Subway is a direct clone of the Battle Tower in Ruby/Sapphire, since there are seven consecutive battles for each round, and the objective is to have as many consecutive wins as the player can.)
3.Gurdurr-shadethedarksoul8(Except Black City and White Forest, all English names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Likewise, except Black City and White Forest, all Japanese names of cities and towns in Unova come from traditional patterns.)
4.Zoroark-firefang20(Genesect is a pokemon that team plasma created from an ancient pokemon and gave a cannon on the top of its head in order to use drives that are found within the games. Looking at the comparison of a kabutops to a genesect, it is clear that they COULD be the same. Firstly the heads are almost exactly identical, just Kabutops horns or whatever they are, are bent inwards. The hands they both have look exactly like the same figure. Except kabutops's claws are shown fully and genesect's are molded by purple steel. Genesect looks almost identical without the cannon on its back. Looks exactly like Kabutops. If you would like to see the conspiracy picture copy the link: http://jiggmin.com/threads/58477-Pokemon-Conspiracy-Theories (GO TO NUMBER 40))
5.Axew-Yymastaconfuctious(True or False-You can find certain Shiny Pokemon after finding enough Hidden Grottoes.

Answer: True-After you find enough Hidden Grottoes, you are enabled to catch a Shiny Haxorus who has a unique ability. I know this because my younger brother told me about it after getting one on his Black 2 game.)

6.Braviary-PokemonFanKH2(Except Black City and White Forest, all English names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Likewise, except Black City and White Forest, all Japanese names of cities and towns in Unova come from traditional patterns.)
7.Volcarona-wifishark8(Am interesting aspect of Unova is Volcarona.

It is not only based on the Atlus Moth, but also a solar deity and its wings are based on tiger lily plant.
Some other interst things about it are; has the highest Sp. Attack base stat out of all Bug Type,has a unique type combination and is the only Pokemon to have a base stat total of 550, to name a few things.)
8.Panpour-joshytje5(Simipour represents February in the Unova horoscope)
9.Scrafty-redfrog45(all the cities in Unova minus Black City and White Forest are named after something relating to clouds.)
10.Swanna-kevandkeith42120(all the cities/towns in Unova, except Black City and White Forest are named after cloud types and phenomena. Definitely a change from the original region's towns and cities named for colors.)


Meloetta’s Relic Singers (MRS)
1.Purrloin-dudeski7373(Deino, Zwelious and Hydreigon have the first 3 numbers of the German number scale in their names.

Ein
Zwei
Drei)

2.Pidove-Rhbkblader88(excused)
3.Zebstrika-TheZappingZebstrika(Black and White are the first handheld Pokémon games to censor certain words when attempting to nickname a Pokémon. This means that if the player gives a nickname to a Pokémon that is registered on the games' built-in blacklist, he/she will be unable to confirm the nickname as the action will be denied, requiring another, non-blacklisted name to be input.)
4.Lilligant-clilmama33830(The names of the cities in Unova are all based on clouds)
5.Cofagrigus-THEDKA3(Cofagrigus's design is based off a sarcophagus. It was also most likely based on supposedly cursed Egyptian tombs. Any trespassers in the tombs are said to fall under a "curse" from its owner, which is said to cause illness, serious injury, or death. The hype of cursed tombs was made popular when many people in a team of explorers in 1922, who had opened and entered King Tutankhamun's tomb, began dying after the exploration. Cofagrigus's ability to passively turn other Pokémon into mummies that in turn transform other Pokémon into mummies is very similar to the popular culture depiction of the spread of a "zombie virus" in horror films.)
6.Cinccino-Bunpuffy(excused)
7.Bouffalant-jacobwinner1999(Unova is the only region to have an electric gym but not to have a rock gym along with it)
8.Munna-tacoburger22(1 strike)
9.Keldeo(Resolute)-Franky494(Only 50 years before Black and white, Elygem appeared for the first time)
10.Reuniclus-tpidude73(The credits of the Japanese versions are shown in English if kanji mode is selected)


Genesect’s Drive Arsenal(GDA)
1.Snivy-LolliPopGirlMeow(Reshiram and Zekrom represent the Chinese concept of Yin Yang. And Kyurem is yuji, the absense of yin yang)
2.Leavanny-masterofflam(How can Anville Town be reached? Not by foot/bike/swimming/flying)
3.Scraggy-ForrestMightyena247(Apparently once you reach Nimbasa City, you can then access Route 16 EVEN before battling against the Elite Four. Now you may think, big deal. Then again I presume it's a shortcut because it goes between Nimbasa City and Marvelous Bridge. Route's 13, 14 and 15 that go between Marvelous Bridge, Black City/White Forest, Undella Town, and Lacunosa Town can only b accessed ONCE you do defeat the Elite 4 and get the first game clear.)
4.Garbodor-xtiandg0914(What in interesting in Castellia City you fight a trainer who is actually is the creator of Pokemon.Although I forgot the pokemon of his.)
5.Escavalier-TheMysterious2634(Unova is the first generation to use the type combo Fire/Psychic. That is definitely not enough, so I will elaborate. The typing Fire/Psychic is useful in the meta because Fire and Psychic are two types that are commonly offensive. This combo created the UU god, Victini (as well as Victory Star, but that's not the point). Fire/Psychic is very effective in taking out opponents with a flurry of high offense. Overall, Fire/Psychic = very good type combo if set up. (I am excited to see if Fennekin's final evolution, who will most likely be the second Fire/Psychic, can make something happen in the meta.)
6.Joltik-ShinyStoutland(This fact is about Charles the Heartbreaker. Unlike other motorcyclists and cyclists, Charles does not speed up when you press B.)
7.Ferrothorn-2319mi(2 strikes)
8.Durant-Woodenfan(Well, in Lacunosa Town, there's a lot of additional instruments if you speak to the right people, like a flutist, a vocalist, a guitarist and a bass player, if I remember correctly. Gives it a really...otherworldly feel)
9.Pignite-gopokemon121(Unova is the first region to have an active airport)
10.Vanilluxe-DoubleJEspejwan6(This I actually found pretty interesting, so you know how Castelia City is based off of New York, well I didn't even think about this piece of trivia, The Desert Route and Desert Resort are based off of Ground Zero. It never occurred to me, and I always found it interesting after I heard it.)

If participation was the only thing I considered when ranking these teams, Victini's Searing Shots would have won immunity no doubt. However, I wasn't quite impressed by their choice in trivia, especially since 4 out of 10 of them picked trivia about the city names being about clouds and some others in addition weren't that impressive either. It came down to Meloetta and Genesect. Although Meloetta had players excused, the players who did the challenge either did a decent job or really stepped up, while a couple of people on GDA did meh jobs at best with their trivia.

1st place: Meloetta's Relic Singers (immunity)
2nd place: Genesect's Drive Arsenal (vote off 1)
3rd place: Victini's Searing Shots (vote off 2)

So yeah I know the losing teams, especially VSS, will think they got short changed, but this game is a bit more complicated and I feel some people are getting complacent and when it comes to challenges, they're settling more for quantity than quality. Maybe this will shake things up just a little bit.

So yeah it's time to vote players off. Elimination 12 will occur sometime between 1 and 9 am on October 3rd, 2013. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. EXPLAIN YOUR VOTES AND SEND CONFESSIONALS! Blog post comments please! This camp will be more fun if you guys make it more interactive. Don't just do the bare minimum. Also, due to the luck of the tiebreaker, any ties will be solved via revote since this is an even numbered elimination. At least for one team this will be an interesting elimination.

Thoughts on this challenge and the results? Comment! :) Thank you
