A new 91.8 The Fan Pokemon Tournament

[christmas4477]

After sitting and thinking for a while, I have finally decided to organize this tournament. There is one, very important catch. This thread is only allowed to be spoken of in the forums. Any person or persons who speak about this in the IRC, or the Skype chats that seem to be so popular, we be immediately disqualified. I will need people to inform me of this via forum PM should this occur. Down to the tournament restrictions.

No teams of only one Pokemon. Sorry Elk, no six Bidoofs. This also applies to having the same Pokemon twice. The species clause for those of you who understand tourney jargon.

Sleep clause. This means that you can only put one of your opponents Pokemon to sleep at any one given time. Effect Spore is excluded.


Mew
Mewtwo
Lugia
Ho-Oh
Groudon
Kyogre
Rayquaza
Deoxys (all forms)
Dialga
Palkia
Giratina
Darkrai
Arceus
Wynaut
Wobbuffet



Accuracy reducing moves

Sand-Attack
Smokescreen
Flash
Mud-Slap


One-Hit KO Moves

Horn Drill
Guillotine
Sheer Cold
Fissure



DOUBLE TEAM WILL BE ALLOWED. Prepare for this accordingly. I don't want to hear complaints about it this time, because I heard them last time.


Soul Dew
Brightpowder



All submissions will be made here as a response to this post, and I will organize them as they come in. They must consist of your party of six Pokemon, as well as the item they are holding. Submissions will be due by August 31. The tournament be begin on September 18, the release date for Black and White in Japan. Train well, and fight hard.

Prizes:
Oh, you want some fancy copy of a Pokemon game? Well I'm sorry to disappoint, but I don't have that kind of power. I will however be offering special Pokemon to the top two. The winner will receive six different egg move Pokemon, bred personally by me, while the runner-up will receive three egg move Pokemon.

This one too, just in case

[EagleEyes]

I am in, like white on rice.

[Amui]

Are Magikarp allowed? and can we talk about Pokemon in general and trading or is that banned in the IRC too?

[Jubilee]

Okay, so here is my master plan-t!

Jubilee's power will leaf you in the dust.

Make sure to root for me.

Okay that is enough...do not vined me...

Okay done now. #kiratroll

I just don't want the tournament to be directly spoken of in IRC, since this is mainly to promote forum activity

[Amui]

If i can get my team together in time i'll enter, nothing is certain yet though.....BANG SHISHIGAMI SHALL TRY HIS BEST! :bang:

[christmas4477]

I should mention that I'll be in this as well

[ZshadowX]

Another Pokemon Tournament, fine guess count me in, but wouldnt it be more fun if we have a tag team battle like

For example: team Christmas and EE against team Jubi and Amui in a double battle

You can either form a team or just random pick

~ I'm just saying

sounds like a good idea or not

[Amui]

Salamence was recently added to the Uber Tier on Smogon, don't suppose we could get him banned as well?
Also, i agree with the Team Battle idea.....it sounds like a change from the norm.


PS. You also didn't ban Arceus.
PS#2. Or Darkrai
PS#3. Or Garchomp.

[Jubilee]

Id agree with the double battle, if not just for fun :awesome: ...they need to add that :(

Also, Arceus scares me...and he isnt on the banned list #ohdear

...Id agree to ban all pseudo-legendary dragons honestly :P

[Amui]

Also, Arceus scares me...and he isnt on the banned list #ohdear
Yeah, if he isn't added i might even bring him out! :bang:

[EagleEyes]

I would ban Electivire.... But it isn't my tourney :p

[Zero Gravity]

I would ban Electivire.... But it isn't my tourney :p

You would cause he kicks your team's sorry buttocks #srsly

[christmas4477]

I'm not banning Garchomp and Salamence because that's stupid. Any ice type worth their Powder Snow can easily knock them out, even with a Yache Berry

[Amui]

And what about Manaphy?
And Latias/Latios
And Giratina's Offensive form.
And Shaymin?
Don't worry, i'm almost out of stuff to complain about.....ALMOST! :bang:

Latias and Latios are not on official tournament ban lists, and I believe "Giratina" speaks for BOTH forms

[Amui]

He said Deoxys (all forms) but didn't mention Giratina's other form, which sparked the question.

[Zero Gravity]

Well thats because you can't use Alternate Form Giratina or Shaymin in an online trade/battle

Since Alternate Form didn't exist in Diamond and Pearl, they're defaulted back to Original form when used in an online battle/trade
The Griseous Orb is taken by the Nintendo WiFi lady when you try to bring it into the WiFi attached to a Giratina

Thats pretty lame.

[Camajak]

Oh, I am SO in on this!
I'll need to start playing Soul Silver (WHICH I GOT FROM 91.8 THE FAN) again, so I'll be in tip-top shape and won't die out immediately... XD

[Drago142222]

oh wow i will try

[christmas4477]

Friendly reminder that your team with their hold items must be submitted to me by the 31st. Either PM of reply here will do

I slacked off SO MUCH during this Month, i'm rushing my training as fast as i possibly can, but i'm not sure if i will be able to make it by then so i apologize in advance.

[EagleEyes]

I can give you some loaners Ahh Moo Moo.

[Amui]

I can give you some loaners Ahh Moo Moo.

I'm building around a certain Pokemon to create a pretty stupid team, but i'll let you know.

[Jubilee]

Question:

Would it be at all possible to just auto-100 the matches?
I say this as I am tired of the elite 4 and could save time for everyone
Just wondering #heartwink

Yeah, these will be auto-leveled to 100, so all you need to do is EV train if you're into that thing.#oho

[Drago142222]

oh i will be destroyed then seeing as it would take awhile without cheating to lvl a team to 100

[TheDrunkenShadow]

Autolevel puts your team at level 100 for that single battle. It's not cheating.

[Jubilee]

Awesome Opossom, I'm all set then!

#caterpie

Foreshadowing?

I'd be afraid.

[Amui]

Lame, this means i can't use my F.E.A.R Rattata.

[ZshadowX]

Wait.... are we going to do double team battle or not??

[Zero Gravity]

Lame, this means i can't use my F.E.A.R Rattata.

That team is sooooooooooooo flawed

[christmas4477]

That team is sooooooooooooo flawed

That's why I always bring my trusty Azumarril. Aqua Jet anyone?

[EagleEyes]

Or just not attack it o.o

[Zero Gravity]

No all it takes is a ghost type

[Amui]

No all it takes is a ghost type
It's a very flawed strategy, but sometimes you get guys who do attack or guys who only use a 6 F.E.A.R Rattata team, when you can use it as your 6th once your opponent is 5 guys down and doesn't have a Ghost type left.
Otherwise, i may just have to use Verne the Caterpie #caterpie

Verne is an Uber! Thus can not be used.
