LAST PICK http://f.imagehost.org/0121/ursaring_1.gif

[code green]

i'd suggest downloading that program we're using and put your team in. Gives you a head start for strategy and gives you a feel for it before we actually do the tourney.

[KareemCambell]

sorry this took so long guys, i'm deciding now.



no ****ing psychics left :facepalm:

Nice, let's set up some rules. I've been thinking about how we should do it. I'll post what I think FWIW.

-Level 100 Pokemon, so we have access to the entire moveset.
-We can choose Natures/Abilities, but IVs should be defaulted.
-Best of 3 rounds, so no one can act like a b*tch if they lose.
-Limit the amount of switches, so the entire match doesn't consist of switching pokemon out over and over. Plus it encourages versatile move choices.

Sounds good to me.

[Black Joker]

i don't see any problems

[sirkeelma]

So far so good.

[TennesseeFan]

What do you mean by best of 3 rounds?

[code green]

What do you mean by best of 3 rounds?

If I'm facing you in round 1, we battle 3 times. whoever wins 2/3 moves on to round 2. IMO, it gives you a chance to develop a strategy, not to mention people complaining about luck.

But it's mostly to make the tourney a little longer/more fun.

[sirkeelma]

How about a single round robin.. then the top 4 teams will advance to semis. Rank 1 VS Rank Rank 4 .. Rank 2 VS Rank 3.. The Winner will facing finals

Not overly keen on limiting switches. The rest sounds good, what about items?

Not sure about items, i could go either way. reason why i wanted to put a limit on switches is because i didn't want the battle to look like this

I send out Blastoise,
You send out Charizard
You send out Jolteon
I send out Golem
You send out Vaporeon
I send out Raichu
You send out Nidoking,
I send out Alakazam

over and over again

You're the boss, it's your call.

I just think it will limit the (pok-e-)strategy(?) a little. There's more to it than just type match-ups. And battles will never actually turn out the way you just posted. People can't predict when their oponent is going to switch and what they are switching to, so there will be a move made between every switch.

Nah, it's TennesseeFan's draft...his call ultimately. I forgot about the one move in between, so it's not so bad.

Just trying to keep the dialogue up so we can get this going.

[Megawill]

ive loaded my team in shoddy battle successfully! im just commenting to bump the thread!

[code green]

in class now, but is anyone down for a practice battle tonight? :rockon:

I like your regulations, so I'll leave all those details to you since you put the effort to come up with them.

if its around like 9, i'm down

[code green]

BUMP. it's the weekend, when's this shit going down?

[Black Joker]

+1

[code green]

Alright, since nobody's saying anything, i'll set this up.

I randomly picked numbers 1-12, then looked up who had that draft choice in the first round. Came up with:

Group A
Kareem Campbell vs Sawyersauce
DPittman vs Black Joker

Group B
TennesseeFan vs Megawill
Miamiorlando vs Code Green

Group C
Master Durant vs Sirkeelma
MTing vs LittleMoney45

Each battle will have 3 rounds, the winner of 2 will move on to the next round to fight the other winner in your group. Round robin for the final round. You may choose your Pokemon's Ability, Moves, and Nature. I think it would be best not to include items, as some can be pretty cheap. If anyone disagrees, you're more than welcome to say so, and we can all come to a conclusion. You may not alter the IV or stats. Obviously, we won't be able to know if anyone does it, so we're working on the honor system. You think your team's the best? Prove it in a fair fight. Set your Pokemon to level 100.

I think a reward is needed to give us a little more motivation. Overall champ gets 5 reps from everyone else. 2nd place gets 3 reps from everyone else, 3rd place gets 1 rep. It'll take a while to rep everyone, but it's worth it, since there's only a couple of us whose gotten a lot of rep.

That's about it, I guess. To keep it moving, we'll set a deadline for next Sunday at midnight. Once Monday hits, the teams who haven't battled are eliminated, barring advance notice.



Oh, and you're all going down.

[TennesseeFan]

Hopefully we can do this. Shoddybattles not working for me, so I might have to try another computer in my house other than my laptop if I can ever get on it.

[SourPatchKids]

I remember getting a SHINY aerodactyl fossil. Which is basically as hard as winning the lottery.

[TennesseeFan]

This was fun as hell. I wish it could have worked. But the draft was bangin'.
