I am starting to like the idea of having an updated battle dome in Black or White instead of having a tournament replace the E4

Zeturic August 1st, 2010 4:36 PM

People suggest this before every game that comes out. And, yet, it hasn't happened.

The Gyms and Elite Four system are part of the backbone of the games. I don't see them ever getting changed. Some things shouldn't be changed just for the sake of saying "Look, it's different!".

Well instead of randomly generated Characters we can have all of our rivals/friends, N, Beru, Cheren, the prof., our gender counter part,etc ;)

Charizard632 August 1st, 2010 4:58 PM

This might happen. Keep the traditional elite four and add in the tournament mode as an extra. You know, tournament mode has been in Pokemon Battle Revolution, in Crystal colosseum.

And you forgot to mention the Battle Dome in Pokémon Emerald.

I'd like to see them have both tournaments and an elite four in Black and White, here's what I'd like to see.

After 4 badges you can compete in the Bronze tournament.
After 6 badges you can compete in the Silver tournament.
After 8 badges you can compete in the Gold tournament.
Then after beating all three tournaments, you face the Elite Four.

I like the idea of the tournament, but I dont think it would fit nicely with E4 and champion, Id love to see it as a part of a story that has nothing to do with pokemon league, maybe something after u beat the elite four. But not in the way like battle frontier, it should have its own story too. a new challenge besides pokemon league.

maybe they add an extra area, in which they could make something like this

Amore August 18th, 2010 5:59 AM

I like the above idea. However, I like how it was explained in the R/S Chapter of Pokemon Special/Adventures.

They had it that, if you won the tournament, you weren't champion until you battled the Elite Four, then the Champion, and won.

And you could have it where, during the tournament all pokemon are fully restored after each battle, but the Elite Four is just like all previous ones - no healing, etc.

A message for the OP: Why put "NO ELITE FOUR", instead of "No Elite Four?". In my eyes, at least, you look immature doing that.

I agree, this would be an excellent thing to add as a post-game quest. I also like the Bronze, Silver, and Gold tournament idea.

I think a tournament of 32 people would be good. 16 is a bit small for me and 64 is too much. 32 would be 5 rounds so about the same as the E4 but just a bit less predictable. Besides, we can't be the only trainer running around with the goal of becoming champ.

Gardenia101 August 18th, 2010 12:01 PM

lol I was just thinking about this, and then I saw this thread!

I really want that to happen; it would be even cooler if we can even see Ash and his friends in it, too.

We aren't...but we beat them all in the Victory Road and they realize they are too weak to go on if they can't beat us...some are lost in the cave >_>

That seems like a fair trade off :)

Shadow-Star August 18th, 2010 5:05 PM

I like this idea, it would be new and more interesting than just battling 4 people + a champ

knook August 18th, 2010 6:00 PM

Or just have the Elite Four be like in the Adventures Manga, you become the champion and they start to try and take you down... This means even after the tournament is won, a whole new story starts.

Åzurε August 18th, 2010 7:43 PM

Needs moar postgame. Always. I like the idea of having other trainers want to fight you after becoming the champion, and although I don't see a tournament replacing the E4 actually happening, I'd be so happy it they incorporated it in a Battle Frontier or something similar.

Hypno August 18th, 2010 7:51 PM

I just wish that once you become the champ, people recognize you as the champ and more skilled trainers replace the ones that used to be on the road before you reached fame.

Kanto_Johto August 20th, 2010 9:39 AM

I would only agree with this if it were a Tournament deciding who progresses to the Elite 4. Otherwise, no. The Elite 4 is designed to put your skills as a trainer to the test, and thus is made to be difficult.

People complain about the 10 level gap between the last Gym Leader and the first member of the Elite 4. I actually wish the gap was larger and gave us more to work for. That way we feel a greater sense of accomplishment once we've beaten them.

I beat the E4 on Pearl first time, with only 3 fainted Pokemon, having used about 1 Revive and only 3 Full Restores in the entire run. Needless to say, I was very, very dissapointed. I expected a lot more out of them.

I'd be very happy if the Champion's Pokemon peaked at Level 75 or so on the first challenge.

kinu August 20th, 2010 10:49 AM

i would love the tournament but if you win you can fight the eleight four

Alamos August 20th, 2010 1:31 PM

I agree with both Kanto and Kinu.

We need a challenge and if they were to do this (which i doubt) it would really be fun!
