I think a Saturday would be best.

i might join this tourney if my wifi would work better

dont you think single would be too easy??? if anything double battles require more skill and strategy

How come every person that just registers just to put one post here fails at spelling/grammar?

Look at who most of my fans are: younger teens who spend a lot of time online.

Hey! I'm a mid teen!

Anyway, is there anything else we need to poll on?

well...for the tournament, hear me out guys, you can create a chart. Obviousely I mean a tournament grid and basically, whoever gets paired up should decide when to battle, but try to do it as soon as possible. Then one of the players update who won then whoever is in control of the grid will update the grid. or this reason however, the tournament may take a week or more but everyone can battle within his/her schedule. Just don't try to hold the entire tournament back though.

The only thing we still need to be positive on is the date to run the tournament. While it can take place over two days if necessary, I'd say that it will have to be sometime in November.

Don't worry. Eventually, these monthly tourneys will be always on the Xth Saturday of each month, the games will be predictable, and a 64-player bracket will be formed each time.

dont you think single battles would be too easy??? double battles require more strategy

It's up to Ditto616.

ditto think about it

well cause all you need is one or two fast pokemon and you can dominate easy. there's way more potential in double battles

Maybe it's because in double battles, it is very difficult to come up with decisive strategy and know many of the strategies the opponents will use.

Fortunately, I've got a single AND double pass! And a little battle pass, does anyone else?

I say do a single battle this time and a double next time, so we know how to work out the tournaments ya know?

Alright, let's not talk counter strategies. Evasion clause probably will be in effect, and Saturday sounds good too, Cat. We just need to figure out when it's gonna be.

6 on 6 but Double Battle!!!!!

As of right now, I still haven't gotten to test out the friend battle thing. I'll get back to all of you as soon as I can. I'll try and find someone to battle with and / or figure out how to do it myself.

Be sure to let us know when you find out.

We should think of the best dates possible, then put them into poll on when we have the tournament. That way we can get a general consensus.

Ok, Sooo...
I messed around with PBR again. Same results. I honestly don't know how to get a forced level 100. Magmaster, if you know for a fact, that you are 100% positive you know how to get a forced Level 100 match, please PM me. If you don't know, it's going to stay at 50.

I'm a... Bidoof.
I feel so sad.

I just don't think it's in PBR. I know you can set the MAXIMUM level allowed in (and everything above that is banned), but I don't know how you can force the levels.

Even if it is, 50s good too I guess. EV training won't be as effective but..I guess it gives the people that havn't EV trained a better chance...

*sniffle* all my EV training... ;w;

There's definitely a level 50 all in PBR. Can't we just use that? Why set maximums and minimums?

To me, that sounds like the best idea. But again, it's up to Ditto.

You might have to have a re-vote for Single or Double. The last one was a little confusing and people weren't sure.

I like single 6 on 6. I really think we should vote on a date.

I think it definately should be Single Battle- 6 on 6, Pokemon that you own AND DON'T SWITCH OUT, definately no ubers, and on PBR.
In other actually related things, my current party for this would be
Infernape! Heatran! ....

Come on play by the rules.

I actually forgot to clarify that with Ditto, that your team must be the same throughout the whole tournament.

Hey no prob~! It happens. (=wb

Hehe, ive been trying to be quite about my team but I let it slip here n there. ;3
You can be sure weaviles gonna be in it though~!

My banana split weavile is going to be in this tournament too.

Don't reveal your team!

It doesn't have to be a single day. It could be a week and each day is a new level of the bracket until it gets near the bottom.

Say 64 people join. Elimination style (where only the top places are determined):
Day 1: 32 battles (64 competitors)
Day 2: 16 battles (32 competitors)
Day 3: 8 battles (16 competitors)
Day 4: 4 battles (8 competitors)
Day 5: 2 battles (4 competitors)
Day 6: 1 battle (2 competitors) - 1st and second awarded

Say 64 people join. Full style (where all 64 places are determined):
Day 1: 32 battles (64 competitors)
Those who won battle for upper 32 places; those who lost battle for lower 32 places.
Day 2: 32 battles (64 competitors)
Now for each group of 16.
Day 3: 32 battles (64 competitors)
Now for each group of 8.
Day 4: 32 battles (64 competitors)
Now for each group of 4.
Day 5: 32 battles (64 competitors)
Now for each pair.
Day 6: 32 battle (64 competitors) - All 64 places awarded.

It might seem a bit cofusing, but only the judges have to worry about the bracket.

Ok, so. So far we no it's lv 50 battle, no legendaries, and no switching.

YEAHHH! Weavile owns! I may also change my team, to sneak in a Smeargle and or "Punchy Loppuny". Oh wait, umm, if someone can please answer my question, is Smeargle allowed? You know, due to his sketching of other moves. Even though he has low Atk. and SpAtk.

do double there are more strategies for double than single. and it's easier to pull off combos

Don't spoil your teams!

DAMN really

are there going to be prizes

Prizes are undecided, but Sunny gave me a great idea that I'm not going to spoil.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just glad I could help~! ;3

Actually, there is one other thing also. I might give away specially hacked Floatzel.Net Pokémon. They will be PBR compliant, yet will have moves they normally wouldn't have.

awwwwwwww i dont want a hacked pokemon unless its a shiny luxray

So I herd u liek Luxrays? ,:3

Very funny Pinky. OK I MADE A VIDEO ITS CALLED: Pokemon tournament at floatzel.net check it out

yep it sure is. (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the video wont upload)

Okay, first of all, please stay on topic.

Now down to business... I'm still kind of undecided on how I'm gonna set it up, though I was leaning more towards a double elimination type bracket. Still not sure how I'm gonna pull that off. I'll probably daydream about it tomorrow during school.
Two more things: No, you will not be able to switch out one Pokémon for another in between battles. I have a way to know if you are (kind of). 2nd, you can vote next tournament if you want double or singles again. As of right now, it's going to be a lvl. 50 all 6 on 6.

Anyway, I have a suggestion: if you would like to talk about your teams (for whatever reason you may have...) take it to Pokémon General. I personally wouldn't, but I guess that's your choice.

Ditto I told you, you can be lv 100 in W-Fi matches on PBR.

Hmm...the Microsoft Points idea isn't that bad. If people are willing to donate, I could give away a Wii Points Card or gift games worth 1000 points (or totalling 1000).

A point card is a card with points

EDIT: That was in response to Luxray's post, which mysteriously disappeared

If it's a specially hacked pokemon, would the winner get to pick what it was, or would it be Cat's choice? Also, when are we setting a date?

I was thinking (and so was Yoshi) about giving away a few Pokémon cards, as I've got lots of extras.

Does anybody still use the cards? For that matter, does anyone actually know how the game works?

There are still busy official leagues and conventions, so I'd assume so.

True true. I gave mine away years ago, but I never knew how to play.

Back on topic, are we limiting the amount of people that can join? And how many days will it be?

CAN YOU HACK A POKEMON SPRITE TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE KIRBY AND STILL BE ABLE TO USE ABD TRADE IT???

WELL CAN YOU

No

uhh...I don't know how to respond to this with words...so



Anywho I think we got a bit off topic. >3>

We should probably work on discussing the appropriate prizes. Other than trading cards and special hacked Pokémon, I can't think of much else. Yoshi had a funny (but creative) idea, but I'll let him personally state that. It sounds kind of silly, so don't stress over it.

Pokemon cards? Nah, not my thing.

Maybe we can have alternative prizes like Game Boy and NES games.

The only reason I offered cards was because I had plenty to give away for free. Now, if you'd like to donate towards a more expensive prize, be my guest. I don't know about you, but I am not going to just hand out a $10 item to someone who just randomly finds the tournament video, has no idea who I am, joins, makes one or two posts, and wins.

I like the rules, and the removal of legendary pokemon makes it fair. Too bad I cant show off my black Rayquaza.(I DID NOT USE HAX TO GET IT!!!)

Über tier is in the future, but not this tourney.

wqit so is it double or single???

I believe that it is single.

I am in, my preferences go toward no ubers, and all the other miscellaneous aforementioned rules.

I think the prize should be a hacked pokemon, of some sort. Like a magikarp with explosion. Or Snac from cats video...

"Snac"...that was definitely a FAIL on my part.

I think the hacks should be something that still makes sense, not something stupid like a Bidoof with Roar of Time. Maybe something that SHOULD learn a move but doesn't?

This sounds like it would be fun, haven't been able to battle lately.

6 on 6, and rounding to lv. 50 sounds good to me.

say i obtained a pokemon thtough an action replay but it has normal moves and normal stats. is it still considered hacked???
