Ever wanted to showcase your aptitude for being a Gym Leader? Then this is the tournament for you! Everybody picks one type that they'll stick to for the duration of the tournament, and a maximum of two people may claim the same type. Your team must consist of 5 Pokemon that share the type you've chosen, and your 6th Pokemon can be whichever typing you'd like. Pokemon that change type upon Mega-Evolving will be counted as the type of it's Mega-Evolution (Mega-Charizard X is viable for Fire and Dragon teams, Mega-Pinsir is viable for Bug and Flying teams, etc.)

***The type you choose is what you have to stick with for the duration of the tournament - but the Pokémon, Movesets, EVs, etc. can change from round to round as long as you're still using at least 5 Pokémon of the type you chose.***

Not unrelated at all! I was planning on giving about a week to register - especially considering this week is busy for a lot of us. So I'm gonna say January 1st battles will start. I'll add that to the top of the first post, thank you for reminding me.

Also is there a difference between the forums competetive thing and the standard pokemon showdown?

To be honest it's been a few years since I've battled here, but Smogon is usually a reliable source for Tiers / Banlists / Clauses / etc so that's what I tried to model the rules around. The main differences I've noticed in battle format/rules is between The Pokemon Company's VGC Rules and Smogon Rules. I hope that answered your question!

timemagetim December 23rd, 2014 8:24 PM

Yeah long as we're playing by smogons rules I've got no worries. Are we gonna tell about our teams or are we being all secretive?

Xairmo December 23rd, 2014 8:29 PM

Yeah it's all based around Smogon rules, so no worries there. No you don't have to disclose what your team is, all your opponent will be able to know beforehand is what Type you chose. Only 5 of your Pokemon have to be your chosen type and your 6th is up to you :]

JustJeff December 23rd, 2014 11:37 PM

I'd like to join as well~ Psychic on the Showdown Division~
Although i do have a Question. Will it be following Smogon's Mono-Type tier list? Found here --->>> http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/monotype-xy-read-post-393-for-tiering-updates.3493087/page-16#post-5694854
i know that the 6th slot is a wild card pkMn if that's the rite term 4 it, but nonetheless~

Oh I didn't know they had Mono-Type Tiers, though it seems to pretty much cover their usual banlist. Though the type only bans kinda of confuse me - for instance Aegislash is banned on steel teams but it doesn't say anything about ghost teams. So they allow Aegislash for ghost?

I kinda play Mono-Type a lot so yeah, they do~
Also Genesect on Bug Teams. N the general T-Flame Ban~ ;)
Soooo.... is it implemented? Or perhaps later you'll come to a conclusion~

I'll take more time to study that link before the start of the tournament - I just don't want to implement something before I fully understand it haha Thank you for sharing the link, I may consult you if I have more questions :]

halcyonic December 24th, 2014 1:32 AM

i suggest following standard ou rules and not monotype rules. some of us are unfamiliar with the monotype rules and banned pokemon and it might take some time for certain people to familiarize themselves with the rules. on top of that, most of us are already accustomed to standard ou rules so yea.

I haven't made a decision yet, but the it seems that the clauses remain the same in Mono-Type Tiers yet it seems the banlist is slightly different. If I do decide to adopt those rules I'll post everything that you'll need to know in the first post. It's unavoidable that some types have many useful, versatile, higher tiering Pokemon than other types that have much slimmer pickings - for instance why they banned Aegislash only on Steel teams yet not for Ghost teams. But like I said, I haven't decided yet and I assume others will voice their opinions as well. I'll likely go with whichever rule set seems more favorable to everyone.

srinator December 24th, 2014 12:52 PM

Normal ou is better imo, since we all get a wild card too. The monotype rules were set with 6 mono type mins in mind, so a grass mono in no way can handle talonflame bar sash sacking something.

ganesha December 27th, 2014 6:17 AM

I'd like to be in Showdown Bracket with my Dark team.

Impo December 27th, 2014 4:02 PM

Would I be able to sign up for the normal type in showdown?

Type: normal
Battle server name: Impo

Xairmo December 27th, 2014 5:55 PM

Impo and ganesha, you've both been added to the list!

Regarding if we'll be going by Standard OU or Smogon's Monotype Tier, I'm leaning towards standard at the moment just cuz only three people have voiced an opinion so far and it's 2:1 in favor of standard. There are still 4 days left until the battles start, so speak now if you want to chime in on the matter.

Impo December 27th, 2014 7:28 PM

I have a question, actually :) :

I know our types remain the same, but do movesets and Pokemon have to?
Or can they change between battles?

That's a good question, I should clarify that:

The type you choose is what you have to stick with for the duration of the tournament - but the Pokémon, Movesets, EVs, etc. can change from round to round as long as you're still using at least 5 Pokémon of the type you chose.

Edit: I added this along with some other news to the first post, so please have a look. Feel free to post any questions you have, I encourage them!

ganesha December 28th, 2014 10:04 AM

Smogon's Monotype tier won't be good as people would willing to use a Pokémon of different type as you gave the allowance, so Standard OU is only possible.

KorpiklaaniVodka December 28th, 2014 10:17 AM

I agree with standard OU, since stuff such as Talonflame is banned in monotype and the OU meta is simply less confusing.

Xairmo December 28th, 2014 6:15 PM

Alright it seems pretty much in favor of Standard OU, so that's pretty much settled - still open for more opinions tho so feel free!

One more thing I should point out:

If you're running a Greninja on your team, please make sure to check befor each of your battles if they've reached a verdict in the Suspect Testing. I'll make an update to the first post as soon as I'm privy to such information.

srinator December 28th, 2014 10:08 PM

Why not just ban greninja for the tournament, all in favour like this post.

Xairmo December 29th, 2014 5:52 PM

Even if it's inevitable that he'll be banned, I don't wanna make a premature call on the matter - I don't know what the other participants were planning in regards to him so the best I can do is remind everyone that his status is in limbo and to prepare for the inevitable.

timemagetim December 29th, 2014 7:34 PM

I had him on my OU team on showdown anyway and cant use him now so i dont think it matters if he gets banned or not (he will be) he wont be allowed to be used on the OU anyway while he is being suspect tested.

It's not about being premature, it's about what's right. That shit is broken yo and is p much gonna be the win condition of water teams.

Xairmo December 31st, 2014 12:53 PM

Last day for sign-ups, Round 1 matches to be posted after midnight. Happy New Year.

Professor_Jared December 31st, 2014 6:23 PM

Just a quick update from me, I'm going to a family emergency and funeral for the weekend and Monday, so to whoever I'm facing I am so terribly sorry, but it looks like our match will have to be postponed for a while.

Xairmo January 1st, 2015 10:14 AM

Sorry for the delay, I was out for longer than I expected last night.

ROUND 1 MATCH-UPS
AmourPearlShipper v. JustTheFx

Zeffy v. timemagetim

Professor_Jared v. srinator

Psylocke v. Xairmo

revere v. SkorXX

Impo v. Coronus

ganesha v. TBD

We had an odd number of participants, but since it's double elimination I'm gonna have whoever loses the first match reported face ganesha. If they lose to ganesha too that'll count as their elimination, and the rest of the Round 1 losses will go onto the usual loser's bracket.

Also, Professor_Jared take as long as you need. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Pave Low January 1st, 2015 4:55 PM

My name on the server is now Coronus, so thought I'd let you know so you can change it to my opponent's convenience.

Impo January 1st, 2015 7:24 PM

Me and coronus just battle, I ended up winning
it was a great game :)

Pave Low January 1st, 2015 7:29 PM

Confirming that loss, good game, that darn bird threw me off xD

Xairmo January 1st, 2015 7:45 PM

For sure, I'll go update the list. Coronus you're gonna be up against ganesha now since he ended up being the odd one out and still needs an opponent for Round 1.

JustJeff January 2nd, 2015 2:14 AM

Can you like link the usernames so I can just go here rather than searching for that post

Xairmo January 2nd, 2015 2:59 AM

Like links have been added to the first post.

Pave Low January 3rd, 2015 7:16 AM

Battled ganesha and won, good game :3

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ou-117521

Xairmo January 3rd, 2015 4:24 PM

Gold star to Coronus for getting two matches done before the rest of us got one! I had my match with Psylocke, so the first post is updated thus far. Remember its double-elimination so no one is out of the tourney yet.

Pave Low January 3rd, 2015 5:35 PM

Coronus?

Alright got it updated. Don't worry Zeffy you're still in it too!

srinator January 4th, 2015 12:16 AM

not my fault, my opponent is attending family matters :(

Xairmo January 4th, 2015 12:48 AM

It's alright, Jared let me know and I checked to see who his opponent was so you two are fine. I have a pretty good idea how I'll keep it moving depending on how much time Jared needs, we'll just play it by ear for now.

timemagetim January 5th, 2015 7:42 PM

do you think that you will have a cutoff date at all so that the tourney can continue if people dont respond?

I messaged the people who haven't reported their matches yet - except srinator and Jared they have a valid reason. If the others don't respond/report by the 9th at midnight then I'll just have to move on to Round 2.

halcyonic January 6th, 2015 4:07 AM

i will not be able to carry out my match until the weekends arrive. my timezone is utc +8 (8:05 rn for convenience's sake). if that is too long then pls go ahead and move on to round 2, sorry for the trouble :<

timemagetim January 6th, 2015 6:12 AM

Ok that's fine :) I just wantEd to make sure everyone is still on board

Xairmo January 6th, 2015 12:05 PM

That's fine revere, I was only gonna move on if I didn't hear back from you guys. So they're scheduling and AmourPearlShipper responded to my message. So everyone is getting their matches scheduled. :]

Professor_Jared January 6th, 2015 1:25 PM

Well I just got through the funeral today, and I'm ready to battle again.

Professor_Jared January 8th, 2015 12:48 PM

Sri is advancing to the next round.

Xairmo January 10th, 2015 6:50 PM

Alright we gotta move things along, Round 2 is up on the front post and I'm gonna post it here too:

Xairmo January 20th, 2015 2:26 PM

Hey everyone we still have a lot of matches to get through, I was hoping to see more matches done by now I'm gonna have to start sending out personal messages ._.

Zeffy January 20th, 2015 8:21 PM

I have forgotten that this was double elimination, haha, I was under the assumption that I was already out of the tournament after all this time. Anyway, my enthusiasm in participating on a monotype tour has long disappeared, and my team is forever lost in the database, so I'd like to drop out, please! Thanks, and best of luck to all the other participants n_n
