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. Of these two systems, the TPM one is perhaps the most widespread, though it is no longer used on any of the [[Big Four]] forums apart from [[The PokéMasters|TPM]]. | ||
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. | ||
