Challenge 15: Global Trade Station (plus results)

Ok so if you have WiFi and you connected it to your Nintendo DS or 3DS and you've played Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold, Soulsilver, Black, White, Black 2, and/or White 2, you're likely familiar with the Global Trade Station, or Global Terminal as it is sometimes called. This allows you to trade Pokemon all over the world without needing to put in friend codes into your Pal Pad. However not all trades were created equal. Some of the unfair trade requests you'll see include:
I want a lv 100 Groudon for a lv 10 Poochyena
or
I want a lv 9 or lower Mewtwo for a lv 40 Seaking
and some of them are just plain stupid
I want a lv 9 or lower Pichu for a lv 20 Pikachu (breed your fucking Pikachu)
or
I want a lv 100 Latios for a lv 100 Latios

So for this challenge, you will take your list of teammates and come up with fair trades for each of those Pokemon including yourself. Don't worry about the levels or anything, just think about your Pokemon and a Pokemon of similar strength and ability that would be a fair trade assuming they're both at the same or reasonably distanced levels. 1 player from each team with the best combination of fair trades will win their team's individual immunity which means they will be the only members safe at the next elimination. This challenge ends on Monday night so it'll give you plenty of time to think about. Depending on how well each team does will determine the ranking order of the voted off players. However since this is an individual challenge, I will not post the specific results during the challenge. I will only post whether or not they've done a challenge. (Purrloin and Cinccino, you need to get rid of your strike by participating this time. When the challenge is over, I may or may not list the Pokemon chosen by players. Get going. Here's the team list for your convenience.

Alright so after reviewing everything I was sent, I have determined the winners of individual immunity for this challenge
VSS Immunity: Swanna-kevandkeith42120
MRS Immunity: Cinccino-Bunpuffy
GDA Immunity: Cofagrigus-THEDKA3


Congratulations Swanna, Cinccino, and Cofagrigus. You will all be safe as every team heads to the elimination this round. Remember that since this is an odd numbered elimination, any ties will be settled with a revote. But now I have good news and bad news

Good news is since the reason why people didn't do the challenge was either because they couldn't or because they were confused, no one gets any strikes and all strikes are removed. The bad news is that every team will be voting TWO PLAYERS OFF!

You heard me correctly. SIX, count em, SIX players will be voted off in Elimination 15. According to my challenge 15 power rankings I've determined the voted off players from VSS will get 24th and 23rd place, the voted off players from MRS will get 22nd and 21st place, and the voted off players from GDA will get 20th and 19th place.

So with 3 teams of 8, every team going to the elimination, 1 player from each team immune, 2 of the 7 non immune players from each team going to be voted off, and the Luck of the Tiebreakers, this should make for a VERY interesting vote. And unless your name is Swanna, Cinccino, or Cofagrigus, believe me when I say NOBODY IS SAFE. We're at that point of the game where people will consider every possibility and will likely start thinking about later stages of the game in their votes. We've already seen some blindsides happen lately and I don't expect them to stop coming.

Vote off TWO players from YOUR team, explain your votes, and confessionals/blog comments are appreciated. And do everything you need to do to get yourself in a good position. Trust me....you DO NOT want to get voted off this round. So yeah, the voting will end either tonight or tomorrow (Thursday October 17th). On Wednesday night if I have time I'll post the voting results if enough votes have been cast to confirm the decisions. If not I'll give it one more night. If you have any questions let me know. Alright so get voting! And commenting! I know there's a lot to think about right now :)

  1. Honestly, this may be the first vote i am worried about. All of us have done great this game. And, we don't know a lot of our teammates. It's gonna be difficult.

  2. That was the idea. I was hoping to get some players out of their comfort zones for at least one vote prior to the merge.

  3. It's obvious 2 out of the 3 people who didn't do the challenge are eliminated

  4. I'm happy I won immunity. I think we're 2 eliminations away from a merge, but it could be more.

    1. Same here, my worst of luck is always the individual immunity challenge right before the merge.
