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]]. Most notable of the non-TPM leagues to use this system would perhaps be the [[PFUASBL]] on [[Pokémon Fan Universe]]. This is less for its remarkable activity level in a time of low activity in most leagues, and more for its playing host to one PojoPooka, an infamously bad trainer, both in manners and actual skill, who was effectively exiled from [[UPN PASBL]] in 2003, and who has since both made a name for himself at PFUASBL. It can be easily assumed that PFUASBL's use of a PASBL idea, the Grand Melee, can be attributed to his influence.

PASBL, having experienced its golden age in 2001, when the [[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.

Only two PASBLs currently exist, both of which claim to be the one true successor to BG PASBL. Their rulesets are largely compatible, though significant differences exist in the area of battle styles (UPN/SPPf PASBL having totally abandoned the idea of Realistic style, and many of the ideas to do with injury), and in points systems (BG PASBL having a far more detailed level progression, but less restrictions on required levels to own specific, potentially gamebreaking Pokémon).

Going against its claim would be the fact that Archaic himself, along with Knobert (4th President of original BG PASBL, including the two presidents from before the move and the v2 rules) stood as a League Official and League President at times of UPN/SPPf PASBL, giving that league more legitimacy.

"Officially" (ie. according to Archaic), there have been 8 "generations" (and 1 "missing generation") of PASBL, though the 4 generations put forth by [[Razor Raven]] is by far the most widespread view of PASBL history. Both are summarised below, along with names of prominent trainers who first joined during those periods.
"Official" Timeline:<br />
*Oth Generation: Prior to organised leagues (Archaic, [[Farfetcher]])
*1st Generation: Original UPN PASBL ([[Ben the Pokémanic]], [[X-Rok]], [[Pokémonger]])
*2nd Generation: v2 rules & Original BG PASBL ([[Knobert]], [[Mozz]], [[Blastoise (PASBL Trainer)|Blastoise]], [[Aipom (PASBL Trainer|Aipom]])
*3rd Generation: Archaic hands over Presidency to Knobert; Slapstick Style is introduced ([[Murgatroyd]], [[Yami Ron]])
*4th Generation: Move back to UPN; original attempt at a branch on (As it was called then) SNf  ([[Kuno]], [[Razor Raven]])
*The Missing Generation: From Yami Ron being forced out of the presidency to when he took over the position again
*5th Generation: UPN PASBL expands to SPPf
*6th Generation: BG PASBL is resurrected. Present Generation
"Alternate" (Razor Raven) Timeline:<br />
*1st Generation: From the invention of ASB (Archaic, [[Farfetcher]], [[Ben the Pokémanic]], [[X-Rok]], [[Pokémonger]])
*2nd Generation: v2 rules & Original BG PASBL ([[Knobert]], [[Mozz]], [[Blastoise (PASBL Trainer)|Blastoise]], [[Aipom (PASBL Trainer|Aipom]], [[Murgatroyd]], [[Yami Ron]])
*3rd Generation: Move back to UPN ([[Kuno]], [[Razor Raven]])
*4th Generation: Ron takes over as President of UPN PASBL; UPN PASBL expands to SPPf; BG PASBL is resurrected. Present Generation
