ZemZem Report post Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) 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: Edited July 29, 2014 by ZM© Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PM ME MARIANNE ART Report post Posted July 8, 2014 boy I have limited wifi and can't train my entire team that fast :( otherwise I would totally be down for this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Komeiji Koishi Report post Posted July 8, 2014 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 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 I'd say bracket style, unless you inform me about round robin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zak Something Report post Posted July 8, 2014 What do I get when I win? and id recommend Swiss-style, if at all possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Komeiji Koishi Report post Posted July 8, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please don't be high and mighty. :v Perhaps. round robin is just *everyone fights everyone, and the person with the most wins is the winner," pretty much.

Zak Something Report post Posted July 8, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

algae Report post Posted July 8, 2014 What battle style/rules would there be? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZemZem Report post Posted July 8, 2014 Always single battle, and the standard rules are the best fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jiac Report post Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) I may participate but I don't have the necessary Pokemon to train up currently, yet. I'm definitely down for it though. Edited July 8, 2014 by Zephyr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VincentASM Report post Posted July 8, 2014 I will join for fun. Haven't battled for a while and need some practice. Whoever beats me gets banned... j/k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zak Something Report post Posted July 8, 2014 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZemZem Report post Posted July 8, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fruity Insanity Report post Posted July 9, 2014 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. :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
