4 people tournament confirmed?

 

EDIT: (just before I get to the actual content of this edit, let me clarify this: I'm well aware that this could (and maybe should) have been an entirely new post, but I'm making it an edit because I don't want to bump the thread)

It's been more than 2 weeks since this thread has been inactive, and by this point I assume we can call it dead. However, this wasn't just the average casualty. It didn't die to cancer or stuff like that. No, this topic was murdered - murdered by the very same people that once came here to have a good time with fun monster battles. These people shall not go unpunished and forgotten in time. The ones who are responsible for slaying this once thriving thread will be hunt down and killed with no mercy. After your death, you shall rot in hell for the eternity of your afterlife, as I use the leftovers of your life energy to revive this topic and initiate a new age of domination. Those who dare to oppose me will be mercilessly slain just like the ones who betrayed us in the past. Your only hope is to join us, for no other ones shall exist.

These events will unfold two months from this day. Traitors, you have been warned.

Shut up and trade me a 5/6 IV Ditto

Well that's awkward! xD

Make it a double battle format and I'm in.

Hold on right there... 5/6 IV Ditto is too hard to obtain. No one, I say, no one will trade one unless you have something like a Shiny Arceus or Mew.

OT: Thanks burninmylight, you've saved us from mZuzek's burning thirst of revenge...

Oh great, you just destroyed my plans. This thread wasn't supposed to be bumped until OR/AS were out


Well I'm trying to have my team ready to go before that time comes so I can be ready to get owned in the first round of the next tourney!

I see people on GameFAQs and across other random message boards  everywhere claiming to hand out 5/6 IV Dittos like ice cream cones. I figured someone here must have one laying around wasting away that he can give me.

Not happening... though an alternate multi battle tournament could be interesting.

I'm wondering if there's actually enough demand for a Pokémon tournament right now - I figure probably not since we're all too busy with Smash (hell, I even wanted to do some pokemon battles today and as I opened my 3DS just didn't find myself able to after seeing that Smash menu).

However, if there is, I might start planning out the next one. I'm thinking about following a more open way of doing it, like the Smash Bros. league, though if I use that format I'd make a few key changes.


Yeah, I'd expect interest to pick up more in a month after the Smash honeymoon period calms down a bit and OR/AS hype is in full force. I had just began playing Y back in August when this thread went into hibernation, so I wasn't ready for any sort of competition. But one thing I'd like to say is that if we ever do get a tournament going, please do not follow Smogon's rules to a T. Most of it's rules make sense, like tier placement and banning of certain megas and abilities, but I think the complete banning of specific strategies like sleep and evasion outright kills some playstyles.

Like, instead of banning sleep completely, make it like Pokemon Stadium where a player can't put to sleep more than one opponent at a time. And with evasion, maybe make a "no accuracy moves + Mean Look/Arena Trap" clause. It does get incredibly annoying if someone stalls out to build up a ton of evasion/bad accuracy and you have no way to switch or force one. But so long as you leave a player the capability of switching/forcing a switch, it gives him or her the option to use accuracy moves or Roar/Whirlwind to counter the strategy.
