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

How do we feel about Mega Evolutions? Maybe we should exclude the Mega Evolution itself from the challenge. Like, you can use your Charizard, but not Mega Charizard.

I think that's a good idea. Should we ban items entirely?

This is something worth considering. Because different people might be at different places in the game and only have x items. Maybe we can include items but it's something like, you can only use x amount of regular potions per single battle. You'd have to use them wisely.

Well, I'm pretty sure on-use items are banned in online battles anyway. I was referring to held items.

Because a lot of really good ones are only available in the endgame, and they can be unbalancing as heck. I mean, you might get Leftovers or even Eviolite fairly early. But Choice Specs, Choice Bands, Assault Vests, Life Orbs, etcetera? Those of us who have them would utterly break those without them.
