Pokemon! Everyone loves em, and if you don't, you didn't have a childhood. Or adulthood. Anyways, let's imagine all SHL and SMJHL players are now pokemon. Assemble your team! On top of that, what is your strategy to navigate the POKESHL? Try to get the strongest pokemon and become champion? Catch all of the possible players and complete your pokedex? UwU Breed them? Catch low level juniors players and train them? Or become a gym leader, helping others on their path to greatness? I'd love to hear your approach.

Man I would love to play this game. As was given as an example in the question I definitely feel like I would go the route of 1st Gym Leader. My favorite part of the SHL is helping people to have as much fun in this league as I do and what better way to do that by facilitating their first “challenge” in the league. I would take as my team Jumbo, Talls, Micool, Birdman, Trips, Jurt. This gym would be the first of its kind, a dino type gym. Characterized by fast pokemon and massive bites. It would start by getting into one of those jurassic world bubble car things and you have to go through a tilting maze while fighting the other trainers in the gym. In the end I feel like this would be an extremely OP 1st gym team though so good luck to everyone trying to progress in this.

Ugh, poetry is so 17th century, we're ditching that prompt. Earlier in the season I had you flex your songwriting in an SHL style parody, but this time you don't have a song to lean on. You're writing your very own diss track about something SHL related. A player, A team, A GM, anything. You can write a diss track about CW if you want.

Here are the rules: At least 12 lines (and at least 60 words total) but if you wanna do more go for it. I'm not laying out a specific rhyme scheme but there has to be rhyme in it. Be creative! This prompt is not for everyone, if you have a problem with it there are like 15 other prompts I made for ya. NOTE: THIS IS ALL IN JEST; ANYTHING OVERLY MEAN OR MALICIOUS WILL NOT BE GRADED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Little excerpt of my song Doesn't Fit (Fitted Diss) Just the chorus and part of the first verse. Got permission from fitted for this for reference lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ueap1OVawg

(Chorus)
got fitted talkin hot on the podcast [soon as drums start]
saying hes hard, gonna talk some rap on it
gonna get a head start DINO Gang SWEST side 
clap clap clap clap till the cups come in 


4 *respectful women* in the back doing test sims. 
One is my mom shes always been there for me (sorry mom)
Step in my zone she packs up the gat 
clap clap clap …… my territory (bye bye)


(Verse 1)
full truth, just tryna get my name out 
Even just to call the wamey lameys out 
makin millions on the ice (trump: “china”)
but I wanna see a wack pittsburger smash on the grill just for the thrill of it  [squished]


Youd think by now someone else would take this bait
But but by now seems that its up to me
Just 5 seasons in and still past the 
person you were ever destined to be

We're adding 2 teams to the SMJHL this season. Do you think we should keep the current SMJHL playoff format of everyone makes it? Or is it time to just take the best 8 or 12 teams and let em duke it out? Defend your stance.

This is a hard thing for me to really grasp the full idea of because I have never been on a J team that wasn’t fairly competitive so its hard to know how it really feels to be a user that is on a bad team, but I think I’m usually good at ‘putting myself in someone’s shoes’. I get the idea that it sucks for a team to not make the playoffs at all, but as far as I’ve seen is the chances of those bottom tier teams actually making several upset is so low. Personally I think id rather just know I’m done then have to sit through the playoffs where we get decimated. On top of this, the J just has so much more turnaround. So those teams that are doing TERRIBLE as long as your GM is decent even the people that got in right at the start of a rebuild should be on a competitive team at least one season of their J career (and if it was planned well would end up with better odds than those teams who try and maintain competitiveness). This is why I think it would be better to just make some teams miss the playoffs if we had to.

Luke let you keep the money you stole from him in the heist, and won't tell the authorities. But you have to take him on a wonderful date using the money. How does your evening go? What dining and activities do you have in store for good ol' Lukey boy?

Holy shit this would be the best night of my life. Not sure where luke is but I would break out my big date guns. We would be going to a high class restaurant for sure. Id start it off with either a broadway play or a rooftop rave, Idk how classy luke is but I feel like we’d end up at the rave. To eat it would have to be high class for sure but most importantly someplace nice and quiet so I can talk to him about SHL all night. And by talking to him about SHL I mean annoying him about questions and ideas I have without him being able to leave.
