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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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.
