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

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?

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~ |

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 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.

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.
|
I'd like to be in Showdown Bracket with my Dark team.
|
Would I be able to sign up for the normal type in showdown?
Type: normal Battle server name: Impo |
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. |
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? |
Quote:
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! |
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.
|
I agree with standard OU, since stuff such as Talonflame is banned in monotype and the OU meta is simply less confusing.
|
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. |
Why not just ban greninja for the tournament, all in favour like this post.

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.

Last day for sign-ups, Round 1 matches to be posted after midnight. Happy New Year.
|
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.
|
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. |
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.
|
Me and coronus just battle, I ended up winning
it was a great game :) |
Quote:
|
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.
|
Can you like link the usernames so I can just go here rather than searching for that post
|
Like links have been added to the first post.
|
|
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.
|
Coronus?
http://33.media.tumblr.com/99d75b163e790274a1da2089ddc07393/tumblr_nai7vkYTFv1ropvm6o1_250.gif Haha, I've changed my name to Spartacus on Showdown because my PC name is changing to that, sorry for the inconvenience. :3 |
lost vs my opponent
confusion is a bitch, yall |
I won my match. It was a really close game which I though was spectacularly played and hard won. Actually was heart pounding. Really looking forward to the next one.

not my fault, my opponent is attending family matters :(
|
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.
|
do you think that you will have a cutoff date at all so that the tourney can continue if people dont respond?

activity post:
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 :< |
Ok that's fine :) I just wantEd to make sure everyone is still on board
|
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. :]
|
Well I just got through the funeral today, and I'm ready to battle again.
|
|
Alright we gotta move things along, Round 2 is up on the front post and I'm gonna post it here too:
ROUND 2 - Winner's Bracket Spoiler:
Round 2 - Loser's Bracket Spoiler:
|
Well that's one loss for me.

How's everyone else's matches coming along - any scores to report? |
Quote:
|
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 ._.
|
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
