Forums - Nintendo Discussion - VGChartz Pokémon Tournament!

Majin-Tenshinhan on 02 March 2010

So the thing is, me and a few of my friends decided yesterday to have a local Pokémon tournament a while after HeartGold and SoulSilver launch. So I got the idea, why don't we make a tournament here on VGChartz? The games have online anyway, right? This thread is mostly to gauge interest in such an event - So everyone who'd like to participate in a VGChartz Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver Tournament, please write in this thread!

Count me in, I already have my sister's DS with me, and I'm just waiting for the game to release here in europe :P

Shouldn't there be a time frame for this championship to happen? I don't know how long apart are the NA and EU release dates.

Most definitely! But I thought stuff like time frame, rules and all that would have to wait until we know how many people are interested in joining.

Ok then, I hope more people join in the mean time. I've never played in a pokemon tournament before :P

Me neither, actually, though I have no idea why I haven't since it seems like such a grand idea.

I can't wait for you guys to get smothered by Pokemon gurus like naznatips. If anything gets done, count me in.

If it were on a level playing field in terms of us starting from launch, i might be interested. Depends on level caps and such...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Like I said, I haven't set anything in stone or anything like that yet, but I just assumed the levelcap would be 99 like it is in the game, since, well, that's what I assume most people will be striving for. But I suppose a different levelcap could certainly be used if everyone wants to.

Let's do it! Like stated before me though, I'd like to know the rules first.

99 would be too high for most people. If you really want much participation something lower like 65-70 would be better, and then use level balancing to set the levels to 100 in the actual match.

I may be interested. Certain rules would have to be made including no ubers (find out what Pokemon are ubers at http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/) and sleep clause (you can only sleep one enemy Pokemon at a time). Also no doubles, you can only have one of each Pokemon on a team. You'd also need to allow a lot of time for people to play their assigned matches. Maybe a week per tourney round for the two to organize a time to play each other.
