X/Y WiFi Tourney

[ZemZem]

So I had an idea about X/Y and Serenes Forest right now. Perhaps we can have a battle tourney here, and see who the top battler of the forest can be. It'll be a fun experience, I'm sure, and perhaps this can net us all more friendships and Friend Safari mons?

Rules:

1. Standard Doubles rules of the Battle Maison will apply here.

2. Best two out of three.

3. If you can't play in X/Y, battle your opponent on Showdown.

4. Full teams of six, but four per match.

5. Good luck and have fun.

First round:

boy I have limited wifi and can't train my entire team that fast :(

otherwise I would totally be down for this

[Komeiji Koishi]

A pokemon tourney? It sounds like an interesting idea, and could probably be done. Dunno if I'd actually participate, though, because I'm not too good with Pokemon to be an effective battler.

Also, would it be round robin or a bracket style tournament?

[ZemZem]

I'd say bracket style, unless you inform me about round robin.

[Zak Something]

What do I get when I win?

and id recommend Swiss-style, if at all possible.

[Komeiji Koishi]

round robin is just *everyone fights everyone, and the person with the most wins is the winner," pretty much. It allows everyone to get the same amount of battles and experience in, but it could take a while to finish, honestly.

Wait THAT'S what its called?

I always was told it was called Swiss.

IF you win. Please don't be high and mighty. :v

Perhaps.

Hmm. No offense, but I prefer bracket style.

[Komeiji Koishi]

Hmm. No offense, but I prefer bracket style.

Your preference, I guess. Just sayin'.

[Zak Something]

Hmm. No offense, but I prefer bracket style.

if you're going bracket style I strongly suggest it be best 2-out-of-3, because getting dropped out becaus e you lost to a stray critical is ass.

[ZemZem]

First let's see the interest.

[algae]

What battle style/rules would there be?

[ZemZem]

Always single battle, and the standard rules are the best fit.

[Jiac]

I may participate but I don't have the necessary Pokemon to train up currently, yet. I'm definitely down for it though.

[Lance Masayoshi]

Since I have a box of competitive, and 5 sets of competitive teams, sign me up.

[Sasori]

I would like to join as well. Are we using fixed levels though?

[ZemZem]

Everything gets set to level 50.

[VincentASM]

I will join for fun.

Haven't battled for a while and need some practice.

Whoever beats me gets banned... j/k

[Zak Something]

Just clarifying but I'm joining in.

I'll make a point to get too McWifis for the matches.

Also Smogons banlists or Gamefreaks (Item clause, no mascots or event mons, etc.)?

and VASM does Magic Bounce reflect back bans?

[Comet]

Sign me up. hehe, time for blood...

[Jiac]

Smogon rules please >.< Mega Gengars flooding everywhere is just ugh...

[ZemZem]

To keep things fair and consistent, I'm gonna have each round center around NU, RU, and UU to start off, then have OU start to occur near the end with the final match being an OU one.

Stall UU here we go... *gulp*

[ZemZem]

Now now, I'm sure it won't be THAT bad. XD

Maybe we can mix some tiers, too.

[Fruity Insanity]

Wait, Smogon rules? D:

I might join, but it would have to be anytime after this Sunday, and between 6-10/11 p.m. EST... Yeah... I sort of have a summer job, sooo...

Bracket styles sounds nice, although Smogon sort of is 'meh' to me.

Really, though, VGC (or doubles in general) is my favorite format because you just have so many more options and predictions in a match. Not to mentions Worlds is around the corner.

I'll have to wait 'til the final rules are made before I make my decision. :/
