While all ASB decend from a scant few games played in 2000 on the original [[Universal Pokémon Network]] forums on an ad-hoc basis, the way those games were played (several without even a referee) bear little resemblance to the ones played currently. All ASB leagues currently are variations on one of two systems. The [[TPM ASB]] system, created in 2000 by ditto_pokefreak, and the PASBL v2 system, created in 2001 by [[Archaic]] to replace the original [[PASBL]] system created by [[Ben the Pokemanic]], and later modified by X-Rok. | While all ASB decend from a scant few games played in 2000 on the original [[Universal Pokémon Network]] forums on an ad-hoc basis, the way those games were played (several without even a referee) bear little resemblance to the ones played currently.

PASBL, having experienced its golden age in 2001, when the [[BG PASBL general history|BG PASBL]] on Bulbagarden boasted more active trainers than the TPM ASB for most of the year, has recently begun a slow renewal after a long period of decline following the BG PASBL's death following the death of the original Bulbagarden in late 2001/early 2002, a decline due largely to lack of refs, and infighting over leadership positions. | PASBL, having experienced its golden age in 2001, when the [[BG PASBL general history|BG PASBL]] on Bulbagarden boasted more active trainers than the TPM ASB for most of the year, has recently begun a slow renewal after a long period of decline following the BG PASBL's death following the death of the original Bulbagarden in late 2001/early 2002, a decline due largely to lack of refs, and infighting over leadership positions. |
