The Official Pokecommunity Pokemon XY: Kicking things off, Showdown Tournament!
The Official Pokecommunity Pokemon XY: Kicking things off, Showdown Tournament! As im sure you are all aware, XY has recently been released. Due to this, people havent finished breeding and whatnot yet. This opens up the doors for a Pokemon Showdown tournament, which is exactly what this is. So without further hesitation, here is the Official Pokecommunity XY tournament! Have you ever wondered how good your skills really are? Well you are in the right place. Everyone is invited to test their skills against the very best. If that isnt enough of a incentive, we have emblems and bred pokemon as prizes! So sign yourself up if those appeal to you! This will be a 16 man single elimination tourney done on the pokecommunity showdown server which is located here: http://pokecommunity.psim.us/, however the number of participants will increase if i get more people. You will have a WEEK to complete your battles when posted. So if you are unable to adhere to this you will be eliminated and the most active player will move on, dont sign up if you cant meet deadlines, simple. Also to answer a few questions i have received as of late. This tourney will be Pokebank OU. What that means is all older Pokemon will be allowed which means it wont being a temporary restricted metagame (i.e what it is now), this is what the metagame will be after December 25th after Pokebank will be released officially is basically. Another issue, some sets arent working properly on Pokemon Showdown, despite being confirmed legal by smogon and serebii. I alerted wolf about this and to rectify this issue the battles will have the option of being done in "Custom" format game. This will allow legal confirmed sets. However, if you are found using a blatantly illegal moves or sets (replays WILL be sent to me or wolf) you will be DQ'd or made to rematch without the move/s in question with the same teams. If its a minor mistake we will ask your opponent if they were ok or not with it and come to a decision after this, but then the move/set must be changed. So be safe and check on serebii or smogon if in doubt. :) Once battles are completed, send myself or wolflare the replay for confirmation. Rules and Regulations Clauses Evasion Clause A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause. OHKO Clause A player cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokémon's movesets. Sleep Clause A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon. Species Clause A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team. Wi-Fi Clause A player can view their opponent's team and change the team order accordingly. This feature is forced in wireless competition. Moody Clause No player may use the ability "Moody" on any Pokemon. Mega-Evolution Clause You may use only ONE mega evolution ONLY per team as per the cart. Ban List Items All items that increase Evasion (BrightPowder, Lax Incense) Moves All moves that increase Evasion only (Double Team, Minimize) All instant OHKO moves (Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, Sheer Cold) Pokemon Arceus (all formes), Kyurem-W, Rayquaza, Palkia, Mewtwo (all formes), Zekrom, Lugia, Dialga, Reshiram, Ho-Oh, Giratina (all formes), Groudon, Kyogre, Deoxys (all formes), Shaymin-S, Darkrai, Xerneas, Yvetal. EDIT: All formes of Blaziken are now banned with accordance to smogon. Rulings Identity Some participants may want to play their games on an alternate account of Pokémon Showdown. There is nothing I will do to stop this, but I don't want to hear about someone's identity being stolen or being coached how to play through private messages. I will take severe action against either of them. Scouting Counterteaming is a common complaint in tournaments. I don't want to hear about it. Don't scout your opponent. There is a difference between knowing someone commonly uses a certain style of team than watching someone's battles to learn exactly what their team is. Participants can play their games with Disallow Spectators and can ask any person to leave their game if they don't want them watching. Timer Clause As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calculation for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave in middle of the battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Disconnections Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it. Respect Respect your opponent, trolling or any abuse will not be tolerated. Have Fun Seriously, its a whole new metagame and gen. Go crazy, enjoy yourself and experiment and show people how good you are! If you have any questions or if you think anyone has violated a rule against you during this tournament, please dont hesitate to contact myself or wolf.

K guys two more slots. :) So sign up and fill those last two slots so we can get this started. :)
Also to answer a few questions i have received as of late. This tourney will be Pokebank OU. What that means is all older Pokemon will be allowed which means it wont being a temporary restricted metagame (i.e what it is now), this is what the metagame will be after December 25th after Pokebank will be released officially is basically. Another issue, some sets arent working properly on Pokemon Showdown, despite being confirmed legal by smogon and serebii. I alerted wolf about this and to rectify this issue the battles will have the option of being done in "Custom" format game. This will allow legal confirmed sets.

If its a minor mistake we will ask your opponent if they were ok or not with it and come to a decision after this, but then the move/set must be changed. So be safe and check on serebii or smogon if in doubt. :) But dont worry, we wont let anything dumb happen or be too harsh if it was a genuine mistake and not anything blatantly illegal. Alright have fun. Ill add this to the OP so its easier to see too. |

Predictionsssss Pokedra vs mr.x - Pokedra is a good and i dont know mr x so yeah. :P Fire Fly Vs Kanea - Fire fly has gotten to #1 in NU (iirc) before, so if thats anything to go by he will win. I also dont know kanea. ;( Ante Vs Luke - Battled both and they are both good so this could go either way. T_S vs midnightshine - T-S may be rusty but he was rather good at one point. So it should go in his favour, sorry midnight i dont know ya buddy. Alakapwnage Vs Aero - Aero is a noob and uses cheap tactics be careful! Wolf Vs Zeffy - Again this could go either way Sector Vs Dark Azelf - I have no idea what the hell im doing #yolo #shreddedbrah. TsunamicBlaze Vs Vrai - Again vrai has been #1 on various ladders in the past, so yeaah. Once again i dont know tsunamic blaze. Anyway good luck everyone, prove me wrong and make a name for yourselves, then people/myself will know who you are. ;) |

Predictions
Pokedra vs Mr.X - Haven't touched OU for 3 years or something @[email protected] Fire Fly Vs Kanea - Betting on Karpman. He's good. Ante Vs Luke- Think both players are good? Luke is a veteran though. Tortured_Soul vs midnightshine - Not sure, haven't seen either play. Alakapwnage Vs Aero- Aero should win? WolfVs Zeffy - Haven't seen Zeffy play. Sector Vs Dark Azelf - He has a chance, it's pretty slim though :P TsunamicBlaze Vs Vrai - Vrai's a really good battler. |
My Unusual Bold Predictions
Pokedra vs Mr.X - ^I'm going to go with Mr.X, based on what Pokedra said last post^ x) Fire Fly vs Kanea - Idk either that well, but Fire Fly sounds scary Ante vs Luke - Luke once said he is the best on the server. I'm going to follow that term just this once, sorry Dave ;) Totured_Soul vs midnightshine - I really don't know. I see a draw, Explosions & Self-Destructs ftw (That was sarcasm if you didn't get it). Good luck you two :x AlakaPWNAGE vs Aero - Aerosmith is baws Wolf vs Zeffy - Sorry Zeffy, but I see Wolf being a very intimidate animal. Sector Revenge vs Dark Azelf - Seriously Elf >:( You did this on purpose! I let Dave sign-up first in hoping I wouldn't be your first date. Smh. Now I got to play your way to beat the master. >:) GG TsunamicBlaze vs Vrai- Vrai got skillz |
Pokedra
Me Antemortem Tortured_Soul Pipluper Wolf D-A Vrai |
I'm sad that I completely missed sign ups. How many subs are waiting in line?
|
LOL should've bet to some of the matchups ;D It looks like some upsets are in order.
|
Won my match against Firefly.
|
Count me in as a sub too ;)
PokéCommunity Username: Opposite Day Pokémon Showdown Username: Oppowdon Time Zone: GMT +1 |
Ok thanks guys ill record your stuff.
Also i am gonna do a losers bracket too, i feel that will add some more fun to this and possible twists and turns. ;) So stick around for that. Quote:
Including you, 2 in total but they will be drawn from a hat if i need them, there is no line lol. |
Quote:
I meant metaphoric line. xD |
confirming my win against tortured_soul :D already sent elf the replay.
|
I should be done with a team by today, and will probably catch Zeffy on tonight. edit: Got a team, just need to battle now.
Quote:
|
Quote:
Also, wolf so slow. Took like 3 years to make a team. Hopefully we'd be able to battle sometime tomorrow or later-ish. |
Won vs Zeffy, good game.
|
Quote:
|
Won vs Aero, good game.
|
Get your matches done people. Im giving a few more days then round one will go on activity victories. ;)
EDIT: Or ill sub people in either way idc lol. |
Just send out PMs and if they don't reply back, replace them with a sub or disqualify them.
|
Me and Pokedra are still trying to have our match. We are on opposite timezones though.
|
Right. Could someone let me know if I should sub in, and in that case, versus who and when and all that kind of thing? I'm pretty confused, but I'm fairly certain that I'm not the one who is supposed to hunt down those that haven't done their matches..
|
Guess I'll sub if spots are still open. D:
PS: Deity PC: Ooka Timezone: EST Just tryin to halp |
Will the tournament include the new ban on Blaziken now?
edit: TIME TO MAKE ANOTHER TEAM. |
Quote:
K so just Noobdra to do his battle then we on round 2 and then i can do losers bracket alsooo. ^^ |
I'm trying, leave me alone >:(
edit; and...we missed each other again. |
Guess I'm going to have to hope there's two inactive people :c
PokéCommunity Username: DoomDaDa Pokémon Showdown Username: SkySpoon Time Zone: GMT +5 |

Yeah replay that it if you would without Blaziken. Its only fair after all. Im being lenient cos it was only a recent change so yeah lol.
|
confirming my win against dave (antemortem), replays are currently down so i cant sent elf/wolf the replay.
|
Get your matches done people or ill start handing out activity wins.
|
Sent a message to AlakaPWNAGE about our match on the 23rd to try and arrange a time for that day, never got a reply. He hasn't been on since the 24th.

|
confirming my lost against pokie, gg :]
|
Won, 4-0 against midnightshine.
Excellent game :) Sending log. |
I'll try getting a match up with TS soon.

Quote:
Im being fair in this and letting people do their matches because everyone (bar Luke, TsunamicBlaze [this bracket will also be getting an activity win when i update and check] and yourself) has either let me know what is happening or has completed their match up. Quote:
Also as of note, the item Gengarite is now banned and will be added to the op when i update in accordance with smogon. Using it from now on will be a dq, as stupid as the ban is but we cant let personal feelings get in the way. |
Quote:
Also, I'm working on getting this match in with Vrai, I doubt the end result will be any different than our Blaziken match though. Who knows. |
I'll try getting the match with Luke up on Tuesday. I'm a bit busy.
|
Could we get this moving a bit faster? It's been over a week and nothing has happened.
|
Like this post if you completely forgot about this tournament.
