Seriously, Vivillon is slowly becoming my favorite Pokemon.
I have some baby igglybuffs I wanted to trade and I'm pretty sure you are in a different region than I am, which means I can breed the Pokemon I get from you with mine for better chances at shiny babies. :DQuote:

ooh, in that case either the code from Fynn vs Ultima isnt right, or i mistyped..
got it now ^^
it comes in fragmens tho..
You wanna watch the battle of the ages, eh? :D
I'm sorry, Rez. You really did get the worst team of the lot. I mean, it could have been worse, yes. But you still got really shafted by the RNG.
Battle with Rez and I:
EMAW-WWWW-WW2C-6MRA
Did you guys just battle, or...?
Also, I thought Grunty got the worst team? :confused:
i typed something but then i realised i confused Fynn with Gruntace.. so.. nevermindQuote:

Well, probably. But Grunty didn't get Dunsparce. When I saw that little guy, I kind of jumped to conclusions. I actually like a lot of Rez's team. Just not the best team to take against my team.Quote:

Why is nobody answering me? Did Sky and Rez battle or not? I need to make notes, people :stare:
Yes.Quote:

Can someone move tutor Stealth Rocks onto my Dunsparce for me?
Well, trading was supposed to be illegal in this tournament. But I guess I can allow that.
This time :shifty:
Someone educate mah pokemanz for meeeeeeeeeeeee!
Who has an endgame copy of ORAS?
Hey hey hey, I want stealth rocks too. Everyone wants that.
Oh dear
It begins.
My butterfly of doom is... well, doomed.
Are you up for a match, Del? I'll give you all the Stealth Rocks you want! :DQuote:

Final differential of that fight was 3-0, Ulti's favor. It was 2-0 Ulti the time I ragequit, so take whichever you prefer.
The non-ragequit match counts, sorry. Also, make sure you rematch Shai.
Good bye, mysterious egg. I never knew what was inside of you. D':
Also, Zi just wanted to say sucker punch really blows
I don't think I've hit anyone with it in the tournament so far. Do I just have bad luck?
Possibly. Sucker Punch is really powerful, but it can be played around, especially if your opponent knows you carry it.Quote:

For example, I was in a match where I had a Mega Absol facing a Slowking. Sucker Punch WOULD KO the Slowking, and my opponent knew it (he also knew by that point that I had no other Dark coverage). So, to avoid the KO, he switched out (since Sucker Punch only works if he attacks). And the Pokémon he switched in got OHKOd by Play Rough. I knew he wasn't going to attack, because he couldn't risk the Sucker Punch. And I used that to predict either a switch or a support move, and go for the best move I had to reliably hit his whole team.
:onoes:
And you have the nerve to say you suck.

I think I'll take part in the next one. I am very nervous because while I don't have a fear of losing per se, I do have a fear of other people watching me play games. I feel like they're judging what I do, like which moves I picked and whatever. And I am not an expert at all, I level up super slowly, I have no tricks, so that makes me nervous :ohdear:
But I would like to try. I might have fun and if I don't I can just not participate next time
I do suck. I didn't put Knock Off on my Absol that match. >.<Quote:

Well, if that helps you, I can be chattier next time ;)
And it would be awesome if you took part in the next one, Pumpkin! :D Leveling is super easy if you know what to do - I was always slow too and I got my pokes to level 100 in one day.
Although next time, the rules are gonna be a bit different :3:
I did want to set up an EoFF chat session for this. Should have thought of it earlier.Quote:

to pull off, though everyone would
have to level their mons to 50 or

The VGC is Nintendo's "official" way of battling. Double Battles, 4 on 4.
Each player enters a battle with a team of 6. Before the battle starts, you get a team preview showing your opponent's 6 Pokémon.
You then select 4 Pokémon to actually send into battle, as does your opponent. But you don't know which 4 they actually choose of the 6 they have available.
So you try to choose your 4 Pokémon that either work the best together overall, or form the best counter to your opponent's team. It lets players cut out some dead weight, and customize the teams slightly for each battle.
They're fun, but mostly I just mentioned them to see the reaction I'd get. :D
I personally prefer regular rules, but if that's what people want for the next tournament, then fine.
For PvP, I prefer regular as well, mostly because I'm more familiar with them. Double Battles are by far my favorite way of facing the computer, though.Quote:

Although if this is really a bother for you, I may be forced to count this as a loss for Sky, since it was him that backed out of the battle.
naa, no need as long as he rebattles me :PQuote:

You're still really good, Shai! :D
i started of so good but now im just losing 1 battle after the other ;_; not really good for my confidence
thanks for the (re)battle sky ;)
Don't worry, that's just how if is ;) You win some, you lose some :) Half of my matches have been failures so far ;)
I'm not sure. I couldn't record it, since I'm using X and you're using ORAS.Quote:

So, 4-0? Unless I brought out Ma'at (the Hitmontop) at some point, but I don't think I did.

I lost to Minato, 2-0.
I made one REALLY huge mistake at the end. I might have lost anyway, but had I just chosen one move, I would have had a chance. SO CLOSE!
I can battle someone now.. Again. Jinx? Del murder? I still need to fight ya and more.
i'm gonna go through and make sure i have everyone added and then go online for some battling. just challenge me!
Actually, looking back, I don't think I could have won it.
The mistake I made was not using Protect against Noivern near the end of the game. It would have popped Speed Boost, making Blaziken faster, and Noivern was low enough that one hit could KO it.
But I don't think, even at +1, Blaziken can outspeed a Noivern. 80 Base Speed vs 123. So I would have needed either a double Protect, or for Hurricane to miss.
Still a great match. So close, so hype. I definitely misplayed by letting Ferrothorn go down. I should have known that was coming. Minato couldn't afford to keep switching through the Stealth Rocks.
I have about half an hour left if anyone else wants to battle.
Skyblade: Are you doing rematches? Is that why you keep doing 2-0, 3-0? Otherwise I don't understand your scoring method at all.
Uh oh. Can someone help me. It repeatedly says that i cant connect to internet, but i can go on youtube. If i cant fix this ill have to forcefully quit.
For having a supposed "rain team" I expected to take down Sky with little to no trouble at all. But holy crap, he did not go down without putting up a huge fight.
Here's the code: TF4W-WWWW-WW2C-7LFT
When you win, the victory screen pops up, and it displays these numbers.Quote:

So a 1-0 match is very very close, as one person has only one Pokémon left, and the other has none. But 6-0 means that one person didn't lose a single Pokémon the entire match, and is completely one-sided.
Go to Internet Settings, and test the connection. Then, see if you can go to the E-Shop. You might have to download an update to the game before it will let you go online.Quote:

Ok, restarting that battle. 6 on 1 isn't fair to Jinx.
yes that is me! i'm gonna transfer my pokes over to Y where I think my trainer name is "Rob", so no one else gets confused
How the heck....does anyone know what happened just there? It only allowed me to take one Pokemon into battle????
When it asks you "Choose who to send in to battle", you have to select them all. The first one you choose leads the battle. The rest don't matter much, but you have to choose them.Quote:

Rob killed my Ferrothorn. :( I used to never like Ferrothorn, but it has come in so handy in this tournament. It's like a perfect compliment to my Fire types. But I forgot Manetric carries Flamethrower.
Denmark vs Skyblade: 4-0, Sky's favor.
L88W-WWWW-WW2C-7RV6
Volcarona finally had a chance to shine!
Watch Skyblade win this tournament and win his own prize. :p
Don't worry, there are backup prizes! In case someone already had the Giratina, I prepared other Pokémon to replace it! Not as awesome, maybe. But still a reward! So I'll just...Quote:

3-0, Del.

Grunty, have you managed to work out your internet problems yet?
I go to sleep and wake up to see what? :onoes:
It's a Pokemon battle fest! That's what you woke up to, Fynn.
And now I'm too scared to battle anyone.
Don't smurf with Del. There's a reason healmosttook over the forums.
That's the funniest thing.
Del's like "I haven't battled anyone in 70 years."
And Sky's like "I am a terrible excuse for a player in competitive play"
And then they proceed to sweep.
That and Bern just keep murdering Pokemon left and right.
I'm not very competitive, either...
They're Pokemon hustlers.Quote:

I'm up for it. Maybe you're the paper to my rocks!
Yeah...probably not.:p
(I'm probably going to get slaughtered...)
Will Del ever find his paper? :cry:
Yes. :( Heracross is a tough one to beat.
Gonna be honest here, I thought I was a goner when you sent out Ampharos.
Did either of you record the match? :)
I did not. :( I know where I lost that one and I won't make that mistake again.
I did~! I'll post the code up later.
Nooooo, don't show my shame. I'll give you poke dollars.
This is addicting. MORE BATTLES
I'm happy to rematch anyone off the books.
I knew Minato Arisato was going to win because they said they'd lose.
I guess I should try to indulge in such self-deprecation myself :p
And people, give me specifics! Who won, by how many pokes, what you are, what underwear y'all wearing, etc.
I'm not gonna battle anyone today. I'm super busy with my thesis. Should be able to get back to you tomorrow.
Minato beat me with 3 I believe.
Okay, now I don't know if I should post the code or not. Del seems pretty sad, and my hands are still shaking.^^;
Rules be the rules. Post it. We're all sharing our shame here ;)
Well...okay.
Here's the code: GK8W-WWWW-WW2C-9GSB
Alright guys, we have 22 battles so far - only 83 to go XD
Jesus Christ. Okay, next tournament, I am taking part!
Seeing how popular this is becoming for onlookers, we might hold a new tournament pretty soon after this!
Thinking of incorporating a trading element this time, just to spice things up.
I can't wait for the next one, so I can prepare and research better.
You can still do a lot to turn around this one to your advantage, Jinx! You need any advice on anything in particular right now?
The battle video for the match between Ulty and myself: SC4G-WWWW-WW2C-ASX9
It's not worth watching.

"...someone, please 6-0 Bern for me.
She's really getting on my nerves now."
So far the MVPs seem to be Bern, Minato Arisato and Skyblade.
Bern has only lost one fight so far, and the one she's won are mostly by a large margin.
Minato hasn't lost a single fight yet, but she's only done three so far.
After a rocky start, Skyblade just seems to be sweeping, defeating people with 4, 6 Pokes left.
And then there's Del, our Black horse, who started off losing really badly but has won all his battles after the first one (except with Bern), always having at least three Pokemon left.
I think we have some serious candidates for the gold bracket here. Though at this point - who can say? There's still a lot of battles to go, and everything can change in as little as two match-ups. Not to mention those that have scored the least so far have vowed vengeance. What new strategies will they employ? Will they climb their way up above Ultima Shadow's "evil twin"?
Who the heck is Bern?
I think she might just pop up and explain herself.

I'd love to watch these battles but I don't own the game goddamnit.
Her first name is Frederica btw :p
Go get a 3DS. You might just make it in time for the next tournament.
Mr. Carny is also quite a fan of X/Y so he might take want to take part as well. I'll talk to him about it later and see if he would be up for it.
Let's wait until this one finishes before we make me breed up more Eggs. :pQuote:

It would have made sense if that Lopunny had an ability to prevent it from using held items. Then they just use Fling or Switcheroo on the opponent. That was Lopunny's one niche before its Mega came about.Quote:

meh, Beyonce wont learn any great moves anymore (just some risky moves)
i guess ill need to TM her a move :o any recomendations?
You should all fear my mighty bibarels extra move. Just quit the competition right now, ive already won. Lol unless you win. Joking anyway, but the extra move could put a rock in peoples paths, or rather. Remove the rock. :shady:
So does anyone here battle competitively? This has been really fun and makes me want to build a competitive team of my own design outside of this tournament.
Also, Minato vs. Ultima is a match I really want to see. Could be a finals preview, though I think Skyblade is learning a lot about each of us from his losses and I'm pretty nervous about facing him again down the road.
I know I've been saying that I'll get trampled on and things turn out differently, but I don't think my luck will hold out against Bern...

"Well, I'm up for the battle anytime.
Are you ready, or do you need to
mentally prepare yourself for the
complete and utter destruction?"
Bernie dear, never forget you lost to me :p
EVER :stare:
Yeah, I need to prepare myself mentally...Quote:

"Hahaha! Bearnie! Hey,
how's it going Bearnie?"
"......now, where did I put the
chainsaw again? Ah, there it is!"
Wow, my internet's really slow right now. I need to fix that before we have our battle.
Not I. Although if you are truly interested, there are plenty of battlers on YouTube that can teach you a lot. I recommend checking out shadypenguinn's channel. He hosts videos showing how he builds teams, as well as live commentary on his WiFi battles, how he plans which moves to use and how he considers his options.Quote:

Fortunately, I don't expect to end up in the Gold Bracket, so I'll avoid the worst of the pain.

"Get rekt, Bern."

"...that was only a warmup.
Next time, I'll show no mercy."
"Yeah.... sure. Suuure."
Sky, you're one of the main candidates for the Gold bracket. Hate to break it to you.Quote:

Also, do my eyes deceive me? Do I take it Bern lost to Minato as well? :O
What, how? I've already lost three matches.Quote:

I'm wondering too. I want to see the match! :omgomg:Quote:

You're right after Ulty and Minato, I think, maybe tied with Del, but he has less matches so idk.
It's hard to judge so far, considering there's been so little matches, but you're on the right track so far.
The magic excel sheet does not lie.
-continues to notice Minato's "I'm so going to lose" comments every time they wins-
I see your strategy, Minato.
I'm pretty sure he's a she... Unless I'm assuming wrong :p
I keep meaning to use they/them for when I don't know the person's gender, but my mind keeps defaulting to he/him.

"I have to apologize for the delayed report.
Bernkastel is currently going on a rampage
with a chainsaw, and I just finished getting
everyone else to safety. Minato won with
a stunning 4-0 I believe, making a brilliant
comeback from a pretty rough start..."
Bernkastel vs Minato: P2WG-WWWW-WW2C-CQTG
Damnnn, we have a new front runner!
I suspect you'll also be providing video footage of this chainsaw rampage?Quote:

*huddles in a corner*
Well, you're sweeping. You're the definite MVP so far.
I think we're all worried about the rematches, Minato.Quote:

Thanks. I don't really have any confidence in myself, so when I say I'll lose, I really think that I will lose.
Do I dare to let myself get hopeful?
The best way to go is 20 - 0 before you have to job to a freak of nature.
You can definitely be hopeful for the Round Robin at this point, I think.Quote:

I think it would be useful to put the win-loss records on the first page.
That's the best advice, Pumpkin.Quote:

I won't have time for more battles today, unfortunately. Maybe later, if I get really lucky.
I'll let you folks know.
Minato will seige you berncastle! Prepare your defeat
Also, for those of you playing ORAS, which song number is it when you fight Zinnia? That song is awesome. I want to use it when I record battles.
Song 21, I believe.Quote:

"Hey, hurry up and get back.
Bern's still out there somewhere!"
"W-what? She still hasn't calmed down?"
(I do actually. I have been more into VGC than Smogon/singles recently, but enjoy both.)Quote:

What sorts of tips are you looking for? Specific tips on your team? Tips on team building? General tips on competitive gameplay?Quote:

Also, is there anyone available to battle? :jokey:

"Hey, you there, throw me a
handkerchief or something to
wipe this blood off my face with."
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ernkastel3.pnghttp://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c344/AGAFURO/Mio4.png
"Ah, there we go. Don't

"...so, whose blood was that?"

"Oh, that? It was from Banana Pants,
the useless Tropius who has now failed
me twice. I had to re-educate the
damn thing a bit, so it won't happen
a third time. But I was out of reset bags,
so I went about it in a different fashion.
He shall now be known as 'Undead Pants'."
It was a gif representing Bern, not me.Quote:
