Jessica's The Challenge 4 - Pokémon League

***Pokémon League*** is the fourth season of Jessica's The Challenge, featuring notable past powerhouses coaching up and comers to make it all the way to the end as a team. The season began on November 14th, 2022. It ended on January 9th, 2023.

Due to varying factors, the season stopped giving episode names after Episode 4, and henceforth every other episode was simply referred to by their numerical value, aside from the final, which was given the name of the final challenge.

## Format

Teams compete in the daily challenges, for the most part, as individuals. Their times are gathered and averaged amongst each other, with the highest average score from the given teams being declared as the winners for that week. All the other teams will be eligible for an elimination round known as "The Battle." The winning team's gym leader will select which gyms will go head to head in the battle in that week, with the leaders for each team selecting who goes down into The Battle themselves. Each Battle is a head on head battle between two people, where the winner rejoins their team, while the loser is eliminated.

### Twists

* **The Draft:** At the start of the game, the gym leaders will compete in a challenge that determines the order in which they pick their team.
* **The Wild Pokémon:** Seven Pokémon will go undrafted at the start, joining their own team known as the Wild Pokémon. Their goal is survival, placing in the bottom half of all teams in any given week means that the lowest placing Wild Pokémon will get purged from the game immediately. Placing in the top half of all teams will allow them to remain in tact for another week. Placing first gives them the chance to pick to duel a player from any team in an elimination Battle to determine whether that player stays on their team, or whether the Wild Pokémon swaps places with them.
* **Double Eliminations:** At any random point in the season, during the daily challenge, it will be revealed that a double elimination will take place. Gym leaders will send out two Pokémon from their team to compete, where the best two players overall get to rejoin their team. This could result in one team losing two players, one team losing no players, or both teams in the matchup losing one player each.
* **Re-entry:** Losing in the Battle doesn't eliminate a Pokémon for good. Every two episodes, the eliminated Pokémon in the Center will compete in the daily challenge with everyone still in the game. Depending on the amount of Wild Pokémon in play, a variable number of top performers in the challenge will rejoin the game as a Wild Pokémon. If there are five or more Wild Pokémon in play, only one player will rejoin. If there are three or four Wild Pokémon in play, only two players will rejoin. If there are two or less Wild Pokémon in play, three players will rejoin.

### Final Challenge Scoreboard

The Final Challenge was split up into six segments, with an optional seventh bonus segment. Whichever team scored an average first place in a particular segment would get a full 150 point addition to their score, with scores for everyone else being scaled down relative to how far away they were to first. The closer you were, the more points you net. The bonus segment was worth a stagnant amount of points, with first getting 100, second getting 50 and third getting 25. Whichever team had the most amount of points by the end would be declared the winning team.

Super and Werry both completed no portion of the Final Challenge and were each disqualified, regardless of how their teams performed.
