Correspondence Pokemon?

I did a search but couldn't find anything, as well as a google search. I was wondering if there exists a Correspondence Pokemon site. "Correspondence" means you would play over a period of time, like make a move once a week or something, instead of playing live against somebody on Netbattle or whatever. You could have like 5-10 games going at once that would last either a week or a few months depending on how often you move. People who play online chess are probably familiar with this kind of system.

If such a site doesn't exist, I was curious if people would be interested in a site like that. I was thinking of writing up one, just for the hell of it. What do people think?

Stamping your library books.
No, there are none.

No, don't make one. It would be boring as me in a cool-person convention.

*example battle*

Shuckle vs. Salamence!

Salamence used Dragon Dance!

Shuckle used Encore!

*1 week later*

Salamence used Dragon Dance!

Shuckle used Toxic!

*2 weeks later*

Salamence used Dragon Dance!

Shuckle used Wrap!

Salamences Encore ended!

*3 weeks later*

Salamence used Earthquake!

Shuckle fainted!

Just 5 more pokemon to go!

True, it would take a long time depending on how often people make a move. But it works for chess! As well as many other games. There's even an Advance Wars correspondence site. I don't see why it wouldn't work for pokemon. It would be for people who don't have the time to sit down for an hour or so and play on Netbattle. But as in chess, there will always be those people who have like 50-100 games going on at once and are constantly online.

Take a sample survey to see how many people will want it. If it looks like it would be a sucess, then go for it, if not, you may want to rethink your ideas.

Where should I do that? I'm not getting much response here, which tells me it's probably not that great of an idea. Or it just means not many people come here.
