Pokemon Tournament hosted by Legend of Nintendo's leader SoraX64

Everyone loves Pokemon, right? So, to celebrate the new year, we are going to be having a Pokemon tournament! All are welcome (as long as we can be assured that you won't skip out on us!) to join in. As a motivational tool to get people to join and play fairly, I will be awarding the winner of the tournament 2000 Nintendo Points via the PM system. Make sure you read through the rules and understand them before signing up. Let's make this a fun but competitive way to start out 2011!

Rules

1. No more than one of the same item held by your Pokemon. For example, only one Pokemon in your team can hold a Leftovers. 2. NO one hit KO moves. Horn Drill and etc. ARE A NO NO. 3. No repeated Pokemon. For example, your not allowed two Charizards on your team. 4. Any sort of cheating using Action Replay or Gameshark will result in immediate disqualification from the tournament and possible actions on GameSpot. The GameSpot TOU clearly states "methods of cheating in online games" is illegal. Forms of cheating can take many forms but is not limited to stat benifiters/boosters, giving pokemon illegal moves (moves they cannot learn in the game)and illegal abilities (abilities they would not normally have) 6. Sleep Clause in effect. You can only put ONE of your opponent's Pokemon to sleep at a time (moves like spore, hypnosis, yawn etc). If you opponent switches out the pokemon that you put to sleep, YOU CANNOT PUT ANOTHER POKEMON TO SLEEP unless the previous Pokemon wakes up or is KOed. Self inducing sleep from moves like Rest doesn't count and abilities that causes sleep like effect spore also doesn't count in the sleep clause. 7. Evasion Clause is in effect. You are not allowed to use moves that raise the evasion stat of your Pokemon. Moves that lower the accuracy of the opponent's Pokemon are allowed, though. (IE: Double Team is not allowed, whereas Sand Attack is) 8. Some pokemon are not allowed in the tournament. Period. They are not limited to only legendaries so please make notes and formulate your team. Here is a list: Lugia, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Groudon Rayquaza, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Darkrai, Arceus, Zapados, Articuno, Moltres, Mew, Mewtwo, Suicune, Entei, Raikou, Celebi, Latios, Latias, Regirock, Registeel, Regice, Jirachi, Mesprit, Uxie, Azelf, Heatran, Regigigas, Cresselia, Manaphy, Shaymin Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Bronzong, Lucario, Blissey, Wobbuffet, Wynaut, Ninjask, Weavile, Togekiss, Dragonite, Snorlax, Aerodactyl Note: Some of the regular pokemon were banned because of the stats, move sets, or overuse by users. 9. The battles will be 6 vs 6, Level 100, Singles. Note: Your Pokemon team doesn't have to be Level 100 to take part. The game automatically makes any Pokemon in your party Level 100 and boosts their stats to represent the level. 10. The winner of a battle has to be agreed on. You can record matches if you would like proof, but I will be giving all entrants my trust in that I expect no one to lie about the outcome of a battle. If I find out you are lying, you will be disqualified immediately. 11. Level/Post restriction is in effect. You have to be at least level 10 or have 250 posts to sign up.

That depends on how fast and how many entrants come. I'd like to have everything starting in a week or two, but that all depends on how sign-ups go.

Bans seem like jokes for the most part.
Can you seriously not handle weavile and articuno?
I mean I can somewhat understand some stuff, though I straight out disagree.

Also, swiss, single elimination, what?

If you haven't decided, I'd vote against single elimination since it allow for too much luck (unless it's best of 3 or something similar).

Most of the rules were taken from a tournament that ran here a while back. Whether or not we do single elimination will be decided before we start. If too many people have a problem with it we'll do a best of three or double elimination.

You three are added. @Rod90: Dates will be set depending on how fast people sign up, I would love to be able to plan ahead like that but I don't know how fast people might sign up. Expect things to be starting within a week or two.

Im the far from the best @this game but im up for a try. I agree with Hagna. This shouldn't be out of one battle. Best out of three sounds good.

Nice catch, I missed the no evasion clause myself, and I already left my 2 cents on the bans.

I'll keep the lack of evasion clause in mind while making my team then :P
Don't want an even bigger chance to screwed over by luck, even if it means taking some bad moves :(

People aways forget about the evasion clause. Double team/minimize FTW.

What is the evasion clause? (I can guess with the earlier posts, but I want to be sure). Anyway, it doesnt REALLY matter, its not on the rules.

The evasion clause says that no moves that raise your evasiveness can be used. I.E double team, minimize etc. I think it might include no lowering your opponents accuracy as well, so no sand attack and the likes. not sure about that part though

Hmm.. The rules do seem pretty odd. But i might as well join, nothing to lose.

rh20125199-1278-3259 BONQUE

EDIT: it seems really wierd that pokes like Aerodactyl are banned, while much bigger threats such as Gyara and Scizor are left be. (not that i think any of those mentions deserve a ban)

I'll be sending everyone who signed up a PM when the time comes. A date is still not decided, since we haven't decided how many people we will allow to enter. Any suggestions? I was thinking 24 max.

24 Seems like a really good number to stop registry's at. I think too many people will end up bogging the tourny down.

Please don't create alternate accounts to enter the tournament more than once. That's one of the reasons why the last 2 board tournaments had level and post restrictions.

Hope to see some good competition, i'm in! I'm glad evasion clause is back in, using moves like Swift just isnt my thing.
