Pokemon "Raise and Battle" Tournament Official Signup Thread!

[Fynn]

It is now official! Welcome to the "raise and battle" tournament!

What's this all about?

Each participant of the tournament receives six Pokemon eggs (bred by the ever-devoted Skyblade). Once all the eggs hatch, we will spend a pre-determined amount of time raising the critters so that we can later battle with each other using only those six.

How do I sign up?

So first, you need a 3DS with a compy of either Pokemon X/Y or Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. Then, either in the thread or through mognet, give us your friendcode and Pokemon trainer name (also, optionally, you can tell us whether you're up for voice chat communication during trading and battling). Signups close on June 20th, Saturday.

Wait, why so soon?

Because so far, we have about 110 eggs (that's enough for about 18 people), and we need the additional time in case we get more contestants.

Okay, so what then?

Then, once we're certain we have enough eggs for all the contestants, the distribution begins! I will be distributing eggs starting June 20th, Saturday - that is exactly in two weeks. I will also then start a new thread devoted to the "raising" stage of the tournament. Once everyone has their eggs, we'll start hatching them and share who got which Pokemon. We can also share our training progress and share tips. Skyblade will also serve as our resident Pokemon professor, providing advanced tips for proper Pokemon training, including advanced tips such as those regarding move tutors! UPDATE: The signup period has been extended to June 20th.

So what else are we gonna do with this thread?

Those thread will be devoted to both sign-ups and determining some of the details of the tournament. We'll need to decide some things about the battling stage so that we know how much time we want to devote for the raising stage. Do we want to allow everyone to reach level 50? Or are we using the rules that will allow all the Pokemon to be level 50 in battle, so that we can move on to the battling stage quicker? You decide!

So what's in it for me?

All contestants get to keep the Pokemon they catch. Additionally, the winner will receive a super fabulous reward Pokemon from Skyblade!

Don't be shy and sign up! And may the best trainer win!

I would so absolutely join in, but alas I'm really not that far in Pokemon X to really give it a good shout. I will be eagerly watching these match-ups though.

[Skyblade]

Everyone, please remember to share your Trainer name within the game, not the name of your Mii, or your Nintendo ID name. Because that's the way the PSS within the game will let us find each other.

Voice Chat: I don't have experience with many voice chat programs, haven't used any since Ventrilo and TeamSpeak from my MMO days. I'd be willing to try, but most of the applicants thus far are saying "no", so I'm not sure it's worth it.

But if we can set up a separate part of EoFF chat just for the tourney, we should totally do that.

[Fynn]

There's the I game voice chat? But yeah, since most people are saying "no", we'll probably drop it.

Is there in-game voice chat? Wow. I've never used it.

[Fynn]

Yup. It got weird when I played in Shaibana's tournament against, uh, I can't remember who, but they were just breathing into the mic and that was kinda creepy.

Note to All Battlers: You will need 6 Pokémon to trade away for the Eggs. Go catch some junk Pokémon to trade away.

For those who don't know, the first route with catchable Pokémon (Route 2 in Kalos and Route 101 in Hoenn) have 100% catch rates in Generation 6. So just buy 6 Pokéballs, and throw them at the first six Pokémon you see there.

[Fynn]

The eggs are now all in place! We've got a whole crapton of them, so come on and sign up!

[Freya]

Can I still sign up? I had to find my ds and my game I have Y
