____________________________

I thought I should start a new pokémon thread because my questions about who wants to battle me or who wants to start a tournament with me aren't read in the other thread. So I want to ask you if there's the possibility to do some EyesonFF pokémon tournament? With rules of course. And with pokémon prizes. The winner gets some special LV 1 pokémon with a special character and a special move, et cetera...and so on.

So, what do you think?

Here are the rules - use the battle camera, so we can check it; follow the rules to get no match loss:

For some information about your pokémon this website can be quite helpful:

Serebii.net [http://www.serebii.net]

Rules of the Ancients:

- No hacked pokémon (no one will use a shiny Charizard in a master ball - notice you can see the ball before the pokémon appears and if you are not sure which attacks can be learned by a pokémon because of a level up, HMs, TMs, Breeding and Move Tutors use the recommended website)
- No pre-evolutions
- A pokémon cannot be used twice in one and the same team
- Sleep Clause (only one pokémon of each team may be in Sleep status, so no two at the same time, no three, et cetera - special effects which cause sleep do not count)
- Item Clause (no item can be used twice)
- "Soul Dew" is forbidden
- Selfdestruct attacks or Destiny Bond are not allowed in case it is your last pokémon
- It is not allowed to interrupt the wifi connection while in battle
- Level Warp is used

I hope you will give me some prizes for the tournament. The first three pokémon will be sponsored by the Great Sephiroth.

Rank I. a non-legendary pokémon at Level 1 with a characteristic the winner of the tournament chooses and the moves he wants it to have (of course it must be able to learn the moves)
Original Trainer: Cecelia

Rank II. Dratini at Level 1
Characteristics: Adamant, Naughty, Brave or Lonely - whoever is rank II can decide
Special Moves: Extreme Speed
Poké Power: Shed Skin
Original Trainer: Cecelia

Rank III. Dratini at Level 1
Characteristics: Naughty
Special Moves: Extreme Speed
Poké Power: Shed Skin
Original Trainer: Cecelia

Rank IV. Aron at Level 1
Characteristics: Adamant, Naughty, Brave or Lonely - whoever is rank III can decide
Special Moves: Head Smash
Poké Power: Rock Head
Original Trainer: Cecelia

The rest of you gets Riolus with an attack nature and the two Moves Earthquake and Swords Dance and Eevees with Curse or a Tyrogue with Bullet Punch and Hi Jump Kick.

I'm not big on link battles. I have little practice, and I prefer favorite teams over competitive battle teams. But I do have a whole host of Pokemon with special moves acquired from Collosseum and XD, if I could ever get my WiFi working properly.

Well, I can breed all breedable pokémon since I have 484. So I could breed special attack pokémon as well. And I could go to the Move Tutor in Soul Silver as well.

Not that I would have let you participate after all your sarcasm and mocking just because I follow the rules of "owners decide" and you do not so you even say stuff like "but don't let Sephiroth read this or he will say ..." in a very sarcastic and unjustified overconfident way.

I've got a bunch of lv.1 Porygon and Feebas (with Mirror Coat and Ice Beam). :p

That does not matter. Pearl, Diamond, Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver.

And of course we use the Level Warp so there is no necessity in training the pokémon - in case you don't care for EVs.

Just for the record, I don't play Ubers. That tier just doesn't interest me at all.

No one will play Legendaries when we start a tournament. That's one of the rules. Imagine we all would just use legendary pokémon - what a boring tournament. Maybe one in every team but no more. And some pokémon should be forbidden. I will add the rules when we are enough people to make a tournament.
03-31-2010, 12:23 AM

Battle Frontier/Tower rules for entry. Meaning any pokemon that are hacked, all legendary pokemon not part of a Trio (Birds, Dogs, Golems, and Lake) or Lati@s, and Wobbeffet with Leftovers are all banned.

Also no Soul Dew on Lati@s, that's very mean.
03-31-2010, 12:34 AM

B-but Jirachi and Celebi aren't Uber :(

As far as legendaries go, their stats are actually pretty low, but very well distributed. :x Mew is Uber mainly because it can learn every TM. Not sure why Manaphy is though. All other 100 base event legendaries otherwise are simply OU. >_> (Celebi, Jirachi, Shaymin (not Sky Forme)).

(I use Smogon tier rules :x)

Not like I need anything (though a Stealth Rock TM would be cool) :P I have a rather large stock of Feebas, so it's really not a big deal.

I have an Arceus if anyone needs that for data. Also, once I get in the 50 lvl range I might start battling people I guess.

For future reference how about none of us tell each other our pokemon so that we can leave it up to chance.

When I had your Arceus, it wasn't recognized the the Johto Pokedex. Will it show up once I get the full Pokedex?

Yes, it will. Pokemon acquired outside the Johto Pokedex will be saved and registered in the National Pokedex once you get it. This prevents trade issues with other Gen 4 games, and it prevents issues with the few Pokemon obtainible in-game that aren't part of the Johto'dex that are still obtainable before you get the National'dex.

Arceus Special!BTW, if you got Arceus, take it with you to the Ruins of Alph with it as the first Pokemon on your list. Head for the little science hut.

I would need it for my Pokédex. Then I only need 6 to complete it.

Did you get it in a shop Level 100 or whatever or with the Azure Flute?

Also as long as you do not have the National Pokédex, Pokémon which are not included have number "???". But you will automatically get the National Pokédex once you have finished the Elite Four because Professor Oak will give it to you before you go on board of the S. S. Aqua.

Oh well, I'm totally in, whatever the rules as long as the real Ubers are banned. *cough* Yeah, I refuse to admit Garchomp as a "real Uber". =P

Still, even if we do play with Garchomp banned, I'm totally in. I'll just have to find a replacement, which shouldn't be too hard.

I also had a garchomp.... though they are ranked like 14 in terms of overall stats.

Well I'll drop that pokemon, and I will need to find 2 pokemon to round out my team.
I literally just started Heart Gold, but I like to plan my team ahead of time.

Edit: Finally decided on my team. One was my favorite in the Red/Blue, so I kept it. Another I loved in Gold/Silver. Another is just plain perfect for me. One other I just thought looked cool and fit into my team well. The last 2 are there just to round out my team.

Garchomp is just an uber in case you have it in your team with Tyranitar or the Hippo because they have the instant Sandstorm poké power.

I could use too much pokémon for my online matches. It is difficult to decide which one I will use in a battle.

In other words: if I don't use Hippo or Tyranitar, then Garchomp is fine? =D

Indeed. It doesn't even matter if Garchomp itself uses Sandstorm. It is a regular attack. And even if you would use Gojira or the Happy Hippo together with Garchomp there is no one in this forum who would care. There are still moves which have a 100 % hit rate.
03-31-2010, 07:57 PM
Momiji

Not to mention, frankly, a well-placed Calm Mind'd Ice Beam will pretty much take it out. I guess it's fine if we make an exception.

If that's the case, can we make an exception for Manaphy? The only reason it's Uber is because it's pretty tough when paired with Kyogre.

Indeed. Garchomp, Dragonite and Tyranitar are pure destroyers. But they are as weak as they are strong. Everyone who plays online uses attacks like Hidden Power - Ice, Ice Beam, Blizzard, Close Combat, et cetera.
03-31-2010, 10:04 PM
Skyblade

I thought Garchomp's primary reason for being banned to Ubers is having the stats of a Pseudo-legendary coupled with perfectly balanced STABs. The Dragon/Earth combo is resisted by only 2 Pokemon that I can think of (Skarmory and Bronzong [pre-evolution doesn't count]), and Garchomp has a huge attack stat, decent speed, and the 150% boost for same type to both of those moves. Even without the extra evasion from Sand Veil, he is just too powerful for standard.

Of course he is extremely powerful but the poké power is the main reason.

If people would like Garchomp to be banned in the tournament, I'm personally totally fine with that though. I do have more usable pokemons than a full party, so I shouldn't have too much trouble picking a replacement. :greenie:

If/when it's been decided that we'll actually have a tournament, it might be a good idea to post the rules (once they have been decided) in the first post.

I'm up for any matches on Pearl version. I don't use legends or starters, not really a tier thing just a personal preference.

Right but arranging battles is hard without some kind of instant messenger, it's not like the game tells you if people come online unless you're in the lobby. I'll shush.

Okay Pearl friend code is: 3522-9527-0619

MSN me if you want to battle, though. I'm playing through Soul Silver at the moment.

I have PBR as well, but I cba to plug in my Wii. xD

Thank you.

I will edit the rules in the first post when we are enough people for the tournament.

Which edition of pokémon do you use? P, D, Pt, HG or SS?

EDIT: I have posted some rules now.
04-16-2010, 07:01 PM
Momiji

Oh, I play SS. I didn't know version mattered :P

Also, why item clause? That one seems a bit over-restrictive.

Also, if Garchomp is allowed as long as Tyranitar or Hippowdon aren't in play, Manaphy would seem fair enough to allow as long as Kyogre isn't in play. :p

Take a look at the first post. There are some new informations.

EDIT: The item clause rule is fair. I don't want 187342940923 leftover(-like) items in one team or 6 quick claws or whatever. Especially Life Orbs. And I allow legendaries like Celebi, Jirachi, Shaymin grass forme, et cetera and most of the three-legendary-teams. This should be enough.

@Mo'Meninges:

I have fought many pokémon trainers online and I have watched many online battles and of course I have read some information about other online tournaments. That's why I have decided it. Plus there are some common rules I do not use because I don't want to forbid everything but these rules should be acceptable.

I could even help provide some "Event" Prize Pokemon like these:

Aggron with Rock Head and Flare Blitz, Wood Hammer, Volt Tackle, and Head Smash
Blissey with Transform
Slaking with Skill Swap
Self-Destructing Wobuffet
Flying Dugtrio

But if you aren't into cheated Pokemon, I'll also be able to provide legit Pokemon with good in-game movesets.

Awesome. :D

Which game was it? It would be awesome if it was one of the 3D ones so you could actually see it in the air.

Which reminds me, I once had Togetic transform into a Natu with Metronome in Pokemon Silver for the GBC. It was really strange since it was a yellow Natu from Togetic's yellow coloured GBC sprite.

Probably Mew.

Are there some prize sponsors or am I the only one?

I'm up for it! Will be using Pearl, like it matterz. Mainly because I haven't got a proper team on SS yet. :P

I got no legends or ubaz so I think I'm safe there, and I'll sort out the hold items if there are restrictions.

The rules, et cetera are in the first post. I think it is helpful to read them.

I will edit that you are using Pearl if I haven't written it in the first post.

EDIT: Alrighty then.

You should be disqualified immediately for thinking I am a hacker and calling the standard rules used in most tournaments "dumb". Of course I don't.

A battle camera is a key item used in Pokémon Platinum, Heart Gold and Soul Silver. In case the two who are fighting don't have the editions it is not possible to use it, of course.

Pre-Evolutions are simply not allowed. Common rule in many tournaments and I do not know why anyone would like to use a pre-evolution instead of the highest level except it has a changed poké power.

Like I have explained the Rule of Selfdestruction, you can use these sort of moves but not if it is your last pokémon.

"If your nets cut it is nobody's fault..." - Hah! Says you. What if someone who is about to loose the battle disconnects? Shall I allow that over and over again? Just accept this rule. In case a battle camera is used and the video is uploaded on youtube or whatever I can take a look at the battle and then I can decide if it is fair to let them do a new match instead of the last one or if the disconnector looses this round. It is just one round and doesn't mean he will be the last one in the ranking list so it should not be a problem. And in case a connection problem exists the player usually knows it before the battle so he can tell his opponent "Please wait...maybe we can do the battle later.".

Please no legendary pokémon for prize. It should be good normal pokémon at level 1.

I think I have by far more trouble with fighting the battle tower over and over again and breeding than people who can use a wifi usb connector to upload it. All the other people aren't even able to upload their videos.

There is no necessity in uploading it. But I don't want to read a "He has disconnected the battle, this spoony bard!" then.

EDIT: You don't need to upload it on youtube. There is some online battle place in the wifi connection where you can upload your videos and I can search and watch them.

If anyone wants to join, put doesn't have a whole 100 team and enough time/patience to get a full team, I can provide one or two "pretty good" level 100 pokemons.

I've had a few cases where I trained one with decent/good EV's (or whatever it's called again), only to get one with really good/great later on.

So I have a few level 100 who are well-trained and have decent/good EV's that I'm willing to give away if someone really needs them.

If I remember correctly, it's a Skarmory, a Gyarados and a... uh... at least one more that I really can't remember at the moment.

There is no necessity in training your Pokémon 99 levels.

We always use the Level Warp option so all of our Pokémon have the same level.

That's fair and so no one needs to train his/her Pokémon completely.

Just so i'm clear on the rule about Garchomp, it's banned from our team if we use Tyranitar or Hippowdon, right. Does that meen that Hippowdon is banned if we use Tyranitar, or vise-versa?

No it doesn't.

Both of them have the ability "Sandstorm". Only Garchomp uses "Sand Veil", so only "Garchomp + Tyranitar" or "Garchomp + Hippowdon" and of course "Garchomp + Tyranitar + Hippowdon" is not allowed.

If you want something with Sand Veil though, you can use Gliscor, Dugtrio, Cacturne, or Sandslash, however. :D

Indeed but they are not comparable to a monster like Garchomp.
04-24-2010, 06:39 PM

Of course they aren't but still :p

Cacturne can be pretty evil with Sand Veil, Brightpowder, Subtitute + Leech Seed and Focus Punch or Sucker Punch, though. It has a pretty good attack and special attack stat, after all.
04-24-2010, 06:46 PM
Sephiroth

Its attack and special attack won't help it to much. It cannot even learn a 100 % hit attack like Earthquake and it is slow while one Earthquake can be enough to beat it - probably. Substitute could be useless if you don't have one round left to use it.

Even though I actually do have a Magikarp with good EV's/nature and such, I doubt I will use him in the tournament.

Even at 1 HP, his Flail won't hurt enough to be worth it. =(

First guy (Bugs) was easy, since Bounch is super-effective against everything except Drapion (purple scorpion-thingy). My Magikarp, with Choice Band, OKO everything up to Drapion, which was a 2-HKO after using one X-Attack item (yes, items are being used, or else it would be impossible. Seriously).

Second guy (Earth) was tougher, as the first pokemon couldn't even be 2-HKOed without attack-boost, and liked to use Double Team a lot after using Sand Storm... making it a pain to hit with bounch, which not only takes 2 turns but also has less than 100% accuracy already.

So I ditched CB for Life Orb and let my Magikarp stay at the same HP I finished the first guy at (a little above 60 HP or so because of the hits taken from Drapion). I used X-Attack item, the opposing pokemon used Sand Storm. My HP goes down a little bit (to around 50). I use yet another X-Attack, he uses Double Team, my hp goes down to 35-40. I use Flail, hits and OHKO's, HP goes down to around 20, then to a single digit after Sand Storm (8, I think it was). Against next pokemon, I fully restore, boost up stats while the opponent keeps using Sucker Punch which fails, then takes out the rest of the team with Bounch.

The third guy (Fire) wasn't too bad. I switched Life Orb for the Sharp Beak item just because I couldn't think of anything better. Powered up some against first opponent, then took out everything up to Steelix, which was a bit of a pain since everything was ineffective. I kept powering up until Attack was maxed, got him down to half with Tackle, then finished with a Bounch. Final pokemon was some normal-type that went down easy.

Fourth guy (Psych) was a pain. After realizing that Mr. Mime's Thunderbolt actually could OHKO my awesome Magikarp, I swapped the item to good old Focus Sash. Mr' Mime starts with that Barrier-thing that halves Special Attack damage, while I start with X-Attack. Next tuern, I use X-Attack again and Mr. Mime uses Thunderbolt, leaving me at 1 HP. From there on, I OHKO the whole team with Flail... up to the final pokemon aka Bronzong. I fully heal, then start a tedious stat-boosting/healing spamming. When I've finally got my attack high enough, I start to Bounch, eventually taking Bronzong out with a critical.

Now, only Cynthia's left. Only she stands in the way of King Karp's eternal reign of terror and fishyness!!!

04-26-2010, 12:36 PM
Ultima Shadow

Fwahahaha! Even Cynthia has now fallen! For this battle, I used the hold-item Leftovers.

Spiritomb was the biggest problem by far. He had the potential to 2HKO with 2xDark Pulse, or Dark Pulse + Psychic and if he used Embargo (can no longer use items) on me, it'd basically mean instant Game Over.

The only move that would even work was obviously Bounch, like with all ghost types. And Bounch would only 2HKO after one Attack boost.

Eventually, Spiritomb used Silver Wind when I used my X-Attack, then I used Bounch, dissapearing from the screen and making him miss with an Embargo. After first hit, he uses Dark Pulse, and I go down to less than half, but at that point he's also at less than half and I finish him with a second bounch.

Roserade went down to a single Bounch since it was super effective.

Gastrodon become my first set-up target, and I started with healing, Ether to restore PP, and a few defense boosts. After 4 Attack boosts in, though, a critical hit with Rock Edge sent me down to exactly 1 HP. After another full restore, I went for a Bounch and OHKOed with it.

Against Lucario, I also just OHKOed with a bounch. Since he's both fighting and steel type, it'd do normal damage.

Milotic became the second (and a slightly less risky) set-up target. I maxed out attack, and then OHKO Bounched.

Then came the final showdown: Garchomp vs Magikarp. Even a maxed out Bounch wouldn't OHKO Garchomp, but thanks to a full restore before proceeding from Milotic and the few defense boosts, I survived his Earthquake. Then, a second Bounch finished Garchomp off.

GLORIOUS VICTORY TO KING KARP!!!

Yeah. Just didn't want to mass-reveal you were using that move, just in case. But now that I think about it, that's one move that doesn't really matter if you let your opponent know that you have it or not.

...unless you play team against an exploding Metagross that is. xD

Still, the most epic epicness is the fact that the almighty King Karp has finally proven just what a massive threat a simple Magikarp can pose! Finishing off a dragon, killing a foe by just showing up and starring at it (Sandstorm did the job *cough*) and finally, trough the ultimate Baton Pass, strike massive fear in his helpless foe!!! =O

Well during our first battle you have seen a pokémon which is strong enough with its moves to defeat every pokémon you use - not 6 at once probably but it can beat all of them because of the moves - so that's more of a pokémon and moves we should keep as a secret.

wow, threads gone kinda silent.

anyway, as far as prize help goes, i can give an Eevee with Curse. at the moment i can't garentee a nature, but tell me a few that would be good and i'll do my best to have them by tourney time. I also might be able to provide a tyrouge with High-jump Kick, and Bullet Punch. let me know which of the two you'd rather have, and suggestions for the natures of both; and i'll see about having both in time, but no promises.

Speaking of tourney time, you might want to put what day we are starting, and maybe start checking that friend codes work and everyone can connect to each other; just a suggestion.
05-14-2010, 07:34 PM
Sephiroth

Eevee with Curse? Then it should probably have a (special) defense nature and Tyrogue should be Adamant. I can help you with the natures.

I really hope you guys don't forget the tournament.
05-14-2010, 10:17 PM
Yue Kitsune

alrighty then, the Eevee will have a Calm, Gentle, Sassy, or Careful nature. I'll try and get one of each so the person can choose, i'll let you know when it's ready
05-15-2010, 09:27 PM
Sephiroth

Please don't forget the tournament starts soon, my precious Pokémon Trainers all over the world.
05-15-2010, 10:13 PM
Momiji

I have got a lot of training to do and no drive to do it at the moment. I won't be playing at my desired potential, but I'll improvise :p
05-16-2010, 12:40 AM
Yue Kitsune

what day and time does it start? if i remember it's the 25th, but i want to make sure
05-16-2010, 01:32 PM
Sephiroth

It is not the 25, it is the 22nd and I don't know who has deleted this in my start post but I bet it is the same one who has deleted my "EyesonFF Pokémon Tournament" head line.

And I cannot tell you when because we don't live in the same country so you have to talk to your opponent when you want to fight each other. I give you the whole weekend for the first battle so it should be possible to arrange plus I will post who is whose opponent Friday evening.
05-17-2010, 04:38 AM
Yue Kitsune

alright, cool. guess i had better figure out who i'm using XD
05-17-2010, 12:11 PM
Ultima Shadow

I suppose we'll have a 1 week time-limit to get out matches over with, once it starts?
05-17-2010, 07:41 PM
Sephiroth

I thought the weekend would be enough but if you want a time limit of one week then you get one week.
05-18-2010, 08:35 PM
Ultima Shadow

I believe the weekend will be enough for me, though I don't know about everyone else.

If people get a whole week, they won't have to feel rushed if they have parts of the weekend booked up, so a week might be better for that reason.
05-18-2010, 08:44 PM
Sephiroth

Of course it would be helpful if the people who haven't answered for a while would answer.
05-20-2010, 11:51 AM
Ultima Shadow

Yeah, maybe we should send a PM to the people participating and remind them.
05-20-2010, 06:37 PM
The Summoner of Leviathan

So yeah, sorry for totally disappearing. I was just avoiding turning on my DS and it was buried under stuff. Gomen ne~

So Pal Code:

Aurus (Pokemon Platinum): 2407 6426 9114

Not using HeartGold since my team is not fully evolved yet. :D
05-22-2010, 12:06 PM
Sephiroth

Round 1:

Sephiroth VS Momiji
Qwertysaur VS Friend of Sephiroth (he will post his friend code soon)
Ultima Shadow VS No. 78
Rebellious Eagle VS Vermachtnis
Yue Kitsune VS The Summoner of Leviathan

Dead Line: May 29th 2010
05-22-2010, 12:33 PM
Ultima Shadow

^-> You should update the first post in the thread and put the matchups there as well.

Also, maybe a mod can sticky this? And perhaps change the title to "Pokémon Tournament - First Round" etc.
05-22-2010, 07:52 PM
Sephiroth

I will edit it. Just don't forget to record the battle and upload it in via GTS upload option (those who have Pearl, Heart Gold or Soul Silver).

Then please post the video number here so I can watch them and everyone else who has one of the three editions of course as well.
05-23-2010, 12:57 AM
Yue Kitsune

hey, i've got the Eevee with curse, and Tyrouge with bullet punch and hi jump kick, but i havn't gotten an adamant nature with tyrouge, and i think i'm missing 1 or 2 of the special def. natures for Eevee. i'm still working on them but if you want i can give you one of each just in case i don't get the right natures for whatever reason. let me know

also, to Leviathin: i left you a message about when i'm free to battle, but incase you miss it; the earlyest i can do is sunday the 23 at 9pm eastern time, any day or time after that is good also so let me know when's good for you.
05-23-2010, 01:10 AM
Sephiroth

Send me those pokémon and I will breed them with my Dittos.
05-23-2010, 09:21 PM
Ultima Shadow

Alright, reporting my win.

Battle code= 85-99789-69467
05-23-2010, 09:26 PM
Sephiroth

It needs to be uploaded in the GTS so I can see it. I hope one of you did.

EDIT: That was quite entertaining.
05-24-2010, 06:25 PM
Yue Kitsune

8pm eastern time work for trading you those pokemon Sephiroth?
05-24-2010, 09:28 PM
Sephiroth

Sorry, I didn't have time and I don't know when it is 8 Pm where you live because I don't think you live where I am, don't you?

EDIT:

Oh and does anyone have a Razor Claw item and a Hidden Power TM? I would need those items for my new pokémon.
05-24-2010, 10:54 PM
Ultima Shadow

If you can buy Razor Claws in Pearl's Battle Tower, then I can get you one of those. I've still got 375 BP left.
05-24-2010, 11:06 PM
Yue Kitsune

umm, that's 8pm today, lol. and i live in Virginia, so eastern standard time
05-25-2010, 12:10 AM
Sephiroth

Yes, but I do live in Germany, so it is definitely not 8 PM where I live.

But you are online now - so we can trade now.

Ultima, you can buy Razor Claws there. It would be great if you would give me one of those.
05-25-2010, 12:33 AM
Yue Kitsune

lol, yeah Virginia to Germany is a bit of a time difference XD

let me finish of the elite 4 and we can trade
05-25-2010, 01:03 AM
Yue Kitsune

alright, whenever you're ready Sephiroth, i'll stay loged in till i go to bed so no rush
05-25-2010, 01:04 AM
Sephiroth

I am ready. Let's dance.
05-25-2010, 01:10 AM
Yue Kitsune

wi-fi, or WTS?
05-25-2010, 01:12 AM
Sephiroth

Global Trade Station is not a good idea.

You know where to find my Friend Code, I already have yours in my Adress Book and am in the Wifi Room.
05-25-2010, 01:18 AM
Yue Kitsune

alright then

me and Leviathan should have our battle around 9 so one of us will have the video for that later tonight hopefully
05-25-2010, 01:20 AM

Noticed.

Yue Kitsune vs The Summoner of Leviathan.
Winner: The Summoner of Leviathan (a bit of luck at the end did me good)
Video: 78-50402-55351
05-25-2010, 02:53 AM
Yue Kitsune

I lost :'(

But o'well it was fun, the video number is 72-95417-26663

out of curiosity, do you wanna have a loser bracket? we don't need prizes or anything, and it can wait till after we finish with the main tourney. Just throwin' it out there; anyway, if anyone want's to battl just message me.
05-25-2010, 12:56 PM
Ultima Shadow

Well, that certainly do sound like fair deal. And it could easily be running at the same time as the winner bracket. Sephy would just have to divide the matchups like this:

Winner bracket:

*** vs ***
*** vs ***

Loser bracket:

*** vs ***
*** vs ***

...etc, etc.

Also, I'd be willing to offer the winner of the loser bracket any 2 items that you can buy in Pearl's Battle Tower as a reward.:greenie:
05-25-2010, 01:00 PM
Sephiroth

That's close to how this tournament works. But being in the loser bracket doesn't mean you automatically get a lower ranking. It depends on how good your opponents were as well, so with Tie Breaker points.
05-26-2010, 07:05 PM
Ultima Shadow

Oh, right! Do you still need that Razor Claw Sephy?

I decided to try to break my old record at the Battle Tower, and am currently at a 112 win-streak, so my BP has jumped up to 498. If anyone else really needs something that can be aquired at Pearl's Battle Tower, just let me know. I have lots of BP to spend.

Random: My brother just got SS, so now I'll have free access to the HG/SS tutors without having to bother random people. Yarrr!
05-26-2010, 07:17 PM
Sephiroth

Well, some random guy doesn't need a Razor Claw of you anymore.
05-26-2010, 07:56 PM
Ultima Shadow

Alright then.

And nooooooo, I had some bad luck and it all ended at 118. =(
05-26-2010, 08:04 PM
Sephiroth

I am no random guy. Notice that.

You take all I'm saying too literary. Just relax. :p

Also, I actually bothered a guy at another forum to get one move for me, so you're not the only one, which is why I said "people". =P
05-27-2010, 09:03 PM

Never mind, Ultima Shadow.

Cetra VS Momiji

Video No.: 74-88678-57837

I don't think I did too bad for being unprepared. :p

Still lost, though. Good game xD
05-29-2010, 08:04 PM
Sephiroth

I am very disappointed.

Two teams haven't even done their match. Guys first you want to take part in the tournament and then you can't even play one match in one week?
05-29-2010, 11:10 PM
Sephiroth

Okay, since I have talked to Rebellious Eagle and Vermachtnis again I will give them another week to play with each other. Sorry for those who already did their matches. Next time no one gets some extra time.

But it seems qwertysaur doesn't have the time to play - and that's a pitty.
06-05-2010, 05:46 PM
Sephiroth

Today is the last day of Round 1!
06-05-2010, 07:08 PM
Sephiroth

Qwertysaur VS Fabian

Qwertysaur won.
06-05-2010, 09:32 PM
Ultima Shadow

Ah, nice. Then we're finally ready to proceed? =D
06-05-2010, 09:38 PM
Sephiroth

Wait a sec.

I need Eagle's video.
06-05-2010, 09:39 PM
Rebellious Eagle

Okay, I just beat Vermachtnis, so now we can continue, whoohoo~
edit: Okay, I have it, just let me send it to you.
06-05-2010, 09:40 PM
Sephiroth

Congratulations.

Send it? You just need to upload it in the GTS. There is some machine or whatever to upload it. I just need the video number.
06-05-2010, 09:49 PM
Rebellious Eagle

The video number is 40-65423-95445.
06-05-2010, 10:00 PM
Sephiroth

Very good.
06-05-2010, 10:12 PM
Sephiroth

Errm...Eagle - Pre-Evolutions are not allowed.

But I have seen some mistakes in the first round. It is okay.
06-05-2010, 11:22 PM
Rebellious Eagle

It was an accident. I forgot to switch my Lickitung HM Slave out for my Hypno. x.x
06-05-2010, 11:23 PM
Sephiroth

It is okay. Never mind.
06-06-2010, 12:30 AM
Ultima Shadow

The no Pre-Evolutions rule honestly seem kina unnecessary anyway. I really can't see how using a pre-evolution could be favourable, so it's the least important rule by far.:greenie:

Round 2: Ultima Shadow vs The Summoner of Leviathan
Winner: Ultima Shadow
Video: 47-20618-83612

I got pwn'd.

Great battle though~
06-11-2010, 06:12 PM
Ultima Shadow

Gyarados is my fav pokemon for a reason. xD

Good battle. If you ever want a rematch, just let me know.
06-11-2010, 06:45 PM
Sephiroth

What's that? The second round hasn't even started.

By the way - I have all 493 now so probably rank I will get a Celebi or something like that.

We will see.
06-11-2010, 07:40 PM
Yue Kitsune

o well, considering the extra week we had to wait for round 1, probly better to have anyone who can get it over with early go ahead and do it

Eh? Then why post the matchups for the second round in the first post? =O

Oh well, we getting our match over with already shouldn't really be a problem, unless TSoL really would have wanted to use the extra week to train some new pokemon for his team or something, in which case we can rematch.
06-12-2010, 06:53 AM

Nah, I doubt I will be able to touch my DS for a while. Busy working~

Round 2 starts now and is over next Saturday.
06-19-2010, 11:05 PM

So how do I get in contact with my opponent?

If only that were true. Not only are there competitively useful pre-evolutions, but some outperform their fully evolved counterparts (Porygon2 for example, though it's defensive while Porygon-Z is offensive). Back on point, that rule is uber bad, and really hurts TR teams. Easiest fix is changing Species Clause to block pre-evolutions of the same species. If none of this makes sense, then go lurk on smogon for a while.

Now that that rant is out of my system, I joined eoff a bit too late to get in on this, so I'll be giving a pokemon (of their choice) to the winner. I've got access to all 493 (read in my PC, but bad IV/EVs), so if you want something I don't have* I can breed it flawlessly for you with whatever Platinum egg moves you want (RNG for HG/SS is too annoying without an emulator).

EDIT:*Meaning most likely shiny with flawless IVs, a matching nature, and moveset.

Well, yeah, that's true. There are some pre-evos who simply have "different stats" rather than "worse stats" than their full evos, thus favouring different sets and such, like Porygon2/ Porygon-Z etc. But what I really meant was more like: no pre-evolution is far superior or more powerful than any of the legal full evos, basically. None of the pre-evos are uber material or anything close to that.:greenie:

Oh, and if you wanna battle despite not being in the tourney, just send me a PM whenever we're both online. (though right now, I gotta log off for the time being).
06-25-2010, 07:26 PM

Round 2 is till Sunday. There are some unexpected complications.
06-27-2010, 11:20 AM
Sephiroth

If only half of the people bothers about what happens with the tournament then I will end it now. I really don't understand why people say they want to be part of it and then can't even play one match in one week, don't even read the tournament thread or don't even read their PMs or E-Mails during a whole week.
06-27-2010, 11:31 AM
Ultima Shadow

This is really a shame, but oh well. =/
06-27-2010, 12:03 PM
Sephiroth

It is nothing I want to do but I don't see any reason to beg longer "Oh please don't forget the tournament.".

Those who did care about the tournament get a prize but those who didn't even write something won't get anything.
