Nintendo Pokemon Tournament
Posting this so all of you know about this. I know, I should of posted this earlier since I found out about it a month ago. Sign ups are almost over.
Well discuss about the tournament! About the rules, or even help with a few Pokemon. But don't post your whole team and information because that can go to RMT section. http://showdown.pokemon.com/ Quote:

This was brought to our attention a few months back by airconditioning here. I expresses my concern for the tournament there, saying how the unorthodox structire and rules will lead to very few people being able to compete properly.
|
Oh, I did not know that. This can be a revive ^^.
Yea the rules are really horrible. You'd think Nintendo would know a little about competitive battles. Im sure your gonna see Smeargle using dark void or Machamps with partners that know OHKO |
That's perfect, I can use my Kick ass double team Smeargle.
[email protected] Sash Brave 252 Atk, 252 HP, 6 Def Dark Void Extremespeed Endeavour Destiny Bond It's meant for a Trick Room team, leading with Dusknoir. (Copyright Tortured_Soul, 2007-08) :P buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I live in Australia... O_O ~T_S |
Lol, copyrighted T_T
Most people are using Smearge with Choice Scarf but thats only 409 Speed if it has 31 IVs and 252 Evs |
Awww sounds fun, but I live in the stupid UK =/
|
It DOES sound fun, but I'd probably be knocked out. *Hasn't done his EV training completely* xD
Although I'm quite tempted to join, it seems like so much work...xP |
Rules don't seem too bad to me. It's really not that hard to FOLLOW rules, really. I just wish I could go to it. Sounds like fun.
|
Why is Dragonite banned, but not Salamence, Garchomp etc?
Doesn't matter anyway, I live in the UK. |
I guess Dragonite has a larger variety of moves, ie all the punch moves. I'm probobly wrong though.
|
Its because they are over lvl 50
All pokemon above lvl 50 are banned |
^Can't they just do the level reducer thing they have in wifi?
|
Yup, buts that how they did it
|
they only have the level reducer for Wi-Fi for some ghey reason o.o
Well, I should get my invite sometime this week... then I'll work on finding a way to NY. EDIT: Hm.... Maybe now would be a good time to use that "Ultimate Staraptor"... :p |
If only i came on earlier and read this like maybe in the morning, i could have registered and hitched a ride with my dad to Nyc......wow i feel stupid T.T
|
They ban Dragonite and Tyranitar, but not WOBBUFFET?!
WTF!? |
This tournament has rules that epically fail. Why? Because Phione is banned. Do they really expect a Pokemon with below average in all stats to sweep the entire opponents team? 80 special attack can really sweep, along with a really high speed stat of 80 (it can outrun Shuckle... UBER!). Latias and Latios have been unbanned, interesting. Well, if Phione is banned, Wobbuffet and Wynaut should be banned too. But anyways, this tournament fails a lot. Level 50 and below is of no problem to me, but really they could use the level reducer. Banning some Overused Pokemon and a UU Pokemon is simply epic failure. They don't even ban hax moves!
|
sounds like a blast!
Except i live nowhere near one... should have one in Minneapolis, then i would be able to go1 |
OH MY GOD! I just got my invitation! But...I dunno if I can win! >< I mean, my pokemon are 50+ and I might go somewhere this summer before that.
D: Plus iono if my dad supports me....: he showed his concerns for my mental stability when I went over to a friend's house to fix berry glitch. "So you want to go to your friend's house....to do what? Feed your little animals? Are you okay?" After I respond. "No no, I'm just concerned because you're so intent on going to this place to feed non-living images." ;_; |
Oh what the hell. I make this thread a month ago, when this was actually NEWS, and I get no replies. Yet Slowtaku here posts this a month late, and gets 20 replies?
I feel insulted. ;_; |
Maybe they are procrastinators and dont like to know news until its the last minute? >.<
Sorry you feel insulted :( Horyo, did they send you a message threw email? |
^Yea they did.

If you have any additional questions about this event, please send an e-mail to: [email protected] Sincerely, Pokémon USA, Inc. What confuses me is how they'll know it's me and not someone else... |
Nintendo must be completely unaware of tiers and competitive battling in general. The rules in this tournament are unbelievably stupid. Why the heck are they banning non-Ubers? The prizes aren't even that great anyway.
And I'm 99.9% sure that the winner will have used an undetectable pokésaved team. |
Here's what throws me. Dragonite, Regigigas, and Phione are banned, but Garchomp and the Lati twins are good to go. Isn't [email protected] usully considered uber? And Garchomp may not be uber but he's closer to it than Nite, Gigas or Phione.
|
Some people think [email protected] are uber only with Souldew
And This tournament doesnt allow souldew Well none of those pokemon banned affect me because i dont use them :) And i didnt get an invitation :( |
