What is up lads. We decided to do a pokemon draft league for fun in stream server. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join freely, it is a casual and friendly competition, and any required coaching is always offered from me. Feel free to sign up in the pokemon channel for a fun time(:
With the polls for week 3 still on-going but winding down, I am excited to release the next week's palette. For week 4, we decided to go for the full rainbow palette, which in some PBL seasons were a common trope (eg. the NES season). We were lucky to have veteran and previous winner, our very own Allergy_man make this. Great work! Good luck!

📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Week 2 Deadline Extended!
We are rolling out the brand-new Redemption Pool & Star Queue system, but since this information is being released later than we would like during Week 2, we want to give everyone a fair chance to participate.
Because of this, we are extending the Week 2 deadline. For those in the USA, this now falls on Thanksgiving day. Our hope is that you are already nearly finished with your skin anyway and this will not conflict with holiday plans. If it does, please inform the SSPBL team as soon as possible!!!
🕒 New Week 2 Deadline: November 27, 2025 @ 11:59 PM UTC
We’re excited to officially launch SSPBL.org, a new website for organizing and presenting SSPBL in a clearer, more structured way. Made by our very own Zitzabis.
This group page will stay active, but the website gives players and organizers a much easier way to follow the season. Instead of digging through wall posts and threads, everything is now neatly collected in one place.
Here’s what the site offers:
A clean timeline of the entire season
Easy-to-read matchup pages with direct links to polls
A visible section showing active polls so you don't miss one
Auto-updating bracket visuals for each round
An interactive bracket that allows you to click names to see their skins and poll threads
⭐ The Redemption Pool & Star Queue
The biggest addition made possible by the website is a new redemption system that encourages consistency and keeps more players involved each week.
Submit a skin every week to stay eligible!
You never know when you might get added to the redemption pool. To secure a chance to rejoin the bracket, we encourage you to keep making skins every week! (This is optional. If you are done for the season, that's ok.)
Redemption Pool = close losses from the previous week.
Submitting a skin while in the Pool can earn you stars.
Star Queue = a priority line based on how many stars you’ve earned.
Skipping a week removes you from the Star Queue and resets your stars.
Redemption Pool resets weekly; stars only reset if you skip.
This system rewards reliability, gives more players a chance to step in as replacements, and adds a fun new layer of strategy to the season.
Those who earned stars but we didn't need them as a replacement, will still get honorable mentions at the end of the season.
Redemption lists and star queue information is all displayed on the website!
Still have questions? Please make a guest book post, or PM Zitzabis with your questions. This new system might sound complicated but for most people, all you need to worry about is continuing to enjoy each week's palette and trying to make a skin with it. We'll take care of the rest. :)
This website is still new and there may be bugs. If you see a bug, please inform Zitzabis as soon as possible!
We are ready with the four more out of the 30(!) polls we should see week 1. If both you and your opponent have already posted but is not included in this poll list, please let us know!
We are ready with the first four out of 30(!) polls. If both you and your opponent have already posted but is not included in this poll list, please let us know!
SSPBL is back! This time in a new experimental season where we return to the roots of PBL: A PBL that was made without gimmicks and without colour grids. A PBL where you mostly got 12 colours and then had to make a skin using just those colours. We call this concept SSPBL classic. Apart from the changes to palettes and lack of gimmicks, everything else you know and love about SSPBL will be the same for the season!
For the preliminary round, we have prepared a 12 colour autumn inspired palette. Cranio and I have tirelessly worked to test the palette to make sure you can use it in a multitude of ways, and I can happily say that we think you'll find working with these 12 colours a lot of fun:
If you need some inspiration, we have prepared a showcase skin that might give you some ideas as to how the colours could function!
And we will have more to come, such that the preliminary round will be as accessible as possible for everyone! In future rounds, a showcase will not immediately be posted with the palette.
When we set out to do this takeover a month and a bit ago, together with a 24 person collab skin, we were not sure we would get it all done. Thank you so much for all the support! I am not sure when or if I will host another one of these, so if this is that time, all I can say is thank you for letting us get there one last time (x!!

Exciting news, Season 9 Prelims is now open and accepting entries! If you need a refresher on how PBL contest formats work, please check our FAQ. To secure a place in this season of SSPBL, please refer to the information below.
Preliminary Week: You may only use up to 12 colors in your skin, from both palettes. See Gimmick below.
To enter, create a skin following these rules and post a link to it in the SSPBL guest book, or the Stream Server Discord. Alternatively you can ping Zitzabis or Cranio to bring our attention to your skin.
Skin file:
PMCSkin3D Palette Gimmick: You are limited to 12 colors, chosen from either palette. You do not have to choose colors from just 1 palette, both are available for selection. But you can not exceed 12 colors. Deadline: September 30th 2024, 11:59 PM UTC / 23:59 UTC
Please, please, please do not hesitate to message me or another staff member if someone is using our site's private messaging system in such a way as to make you uncomfortable. You have every right to use our site without being subject to private messages that make you feel unsafe or uneasy. You should never feel pressured into not speaking up.
Every private message chain has a block and report button underneath that allows you to quickly and easily block communications with a specific user, and (if you choose to) submit a report to the administrators so that they can investigate any relevant message chains and act in your best interest to keep you safe. If you'd rather talk about the situation with a site moderator, we can also forward your concerns to the admins (with your permission). Reporting a user through their profile will also put the situation on our radar so the team -- as a whole -- can put energy into investigating the situation for you.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Drzzter
