Would you take part in a "raise and fight" Pokemon Tournament?

[Ayen]

I'm a lover not a fighter, but obviously the only generations that should be allowed are 1 and 2 since they are the superior generations and anything after are complete and utter unimaginative crap.

Boy, things sure were better when I was a kid and wasn't so cynical.

[Dat Matt]

Sure sign me up.

How are you choosing the pokemon that you are breeding. Will there be any duplicates in the bred pokemon?

[Jinx]

I don't see why you couldn't open the training portion x amount of days before the tournament portion. Obviously you'll have to anyways, but you can "start" this thing earlier!

Oh, I will! We will also have to determine what the raising time limit will be That also depends on a number of factors I'll discuss later.

So what do you guys think of the 8 Pokemon per person idea? I mean, we have a lot of time, I think Skyblade could make it no problem, but the question is if you want it? There is a certain charm to only being stuck with the six you get, but then again, chances are you will be really screwed over that way, as Sky noted. And then, if we do decide on 8, should we choose which 6 you use throughout the whole tournament from the beginning, or should we be allowed to switch between matchups?

I'm letting personal bias rule, of course.

I actually have almost five boxes filled with Pokémon that I've trained and bred for battle (well, and my competitive Legendaries, who I can't breed). I'm just pulling these guys out and breeding them with my Hex-Flawless Ditto. The Ditto has a Destiny Knot, to ensure at least 5 IVs from the nearly perfect parents will be passed to the child, and the other parent has an Everstone, to pass on the competitive Nature. So they'll all be decent for their species.

Keep in mind, my battle boxes are full of a huge assortment of Pokémon. I play with my favorites. So while there are some of the standard Pokémon at the top end of competitive battling, there are also some that are very much among the lesser-used Pokémon.

Once I've torn through my battle stock, I'll switch to selecting randomly odd choices from my massive pool of others if I still need more to flesh out the totals. Those will take longer, because I'll try to get them at least halfway decent before I actually pull the final eggs.

Currently the poll is sitting at 7, but I think I counted more people than that actually interested. Could someone work me up a list so I know how far I have to go?

Scotty and Matt didn't place their votes, so 9 it is. That's either 54 or 72 Pokemon, depending on whether we get six or eight each.

And MissH, who Bubba vouched for.

I started thinking they were gonna play as one So 60 or 80 Pokemon so far it is. I expect there may be more people joining. That's quite a lot of eggs... How many can you contain on your boxes? I'm gonna need to take some off you soon, aren't I?

[Jinx]

I know that Denmark is interested, as is Mister Adequate. Pike might be interested as well. Don't count just yet!

And I'd much rather do it with only six than eight.

[Richard]

No. Not really.

[Fynn]

This is turning out to be quite the party

Like I said, this thread is more for general orientation. I'll open an official signup thread in due time. That one will have a time limit, since we really need to give Sky enough time to breed up any additional eggs that might be required.

I transferred 5 boxes to my Pokébank (the entire Gen 1 cast). So I'm good for a while on space. Transferring them to you is going to take a while, though. You might want to start catching junk Pokémon to trade over for the eggs.

Ugh... That's gonna take a while. Hello, Fletchling...

[Skyblade]

31 Eggs in, and I have to take a break. I've found myself a couple times wandering back and forth in front of the Day Care, waiting for the Egg to spawn, only to realize that I hadn't actually dropped off the new parent. >.< So used to breeding a single Pokémon over and over, switching every time is a weird new rhythm.

[Pumpkin]

I would like to see who gets what Pokemon and who wins the matches and stuff even if I'm not participating
