Catch & Evolve Tournament [WON BY CHRISTOS]
 

Catch & Evolve is a tournament format that encourages creativity and the use of the few resources you're given to start off with. In this format, a randomly generated base stage Pokemon is given to each participant. Upon defeating their opponent, a participant can "catch" one of the opponent's Pokemon and add it to their team, and also evolve either the Pokemon they just "caught" or one of the Pokemon already on their team. Catch & Evolve has a few stipulations and guidelines that keep the format running smoothly so I'll outline them below. Follow them to a tee so that you don't get confused or disqualified.

About Starters
... each participant is issued one Pokemon;
... each participant has one re-roll, meaning they can get a new Pokemon;
... however, upon re-roll, the new Pokemon is permanent and cannot be changed.
... the following Pokemon will not be issued as starters:

About Catching and Evolving
... a "round" is defined as one match-up;
... only one Pokemon can be caught from a defeated opponent per round;
... only one Pokemon can be evolved from a participant's current party per round;

About Battling
... Focus Sash may not be used in round one (prevents stuff like SS Clamperl from being advantageous);
... Eviolite may be used in round one and on;
... no moves or abilities are restricted from Pokemon, but builds must be legal in OU.

An example of how this plays out, for those of you who are visual:

Spoiler:
Round 1
P1 (Torchic) v. P4 (Timburr) - P1 catches Timburr, evolves Torchic
P3 (Shellder) v. P2 (Eevee) - P2 catches Shellder, evolves Shellder
P5 (Machop) v. P6 (Vulpix) - P6 catches Machop, evolves Machop
P7 (Scyther) v. P8 (Sneasel) - P7 catches Sneasel, evolves Scyther

Round 2
P7 (Sneasel, Scizor) v. P1 (Timburr, Combusken) - P7 catches Combusken, evolves Combusken
P2 (Cloyster, Eevee) v. P6 (Machoke, Vulpix) - P6 catches Cloyster, evolves Vulpix

Round 3
P6 (Cloyster, Machoke, Ninetales) v. P7 (Blaziken, Sneasel, Scizor) - P6 wins!


Round 1
Exile vs. Squirrel
ScraggyTrainer vs. destinedjagold
Sphealo vs. Aslan
Necrum vs. Bidoof FTW
static vs. apocalypseArisen
Christos vs. King Syn oddish
Yoshikko vs. Mueez
Archer99 vs. Castform

Round 2
Necrum vs. Archer99
Aslan vs. Yoshikko
Squirrel vs. Christos
static vs. destinedjagold

Round 3
Christos vs. destinedjagold
Aslan vs. Archer99

Final
Aslan vs. Christos

WE'RE FULL! POST HERE IF YOU WANT IN. I will private message you your starters once we have either 16 or 32 participants. If there's a number of participants between, I'll have to make two separate brackets, because this will not work very well with byes.

Necrum April 9th, 2015 8:46 AM

Sirfetch’d April 9th, 2015 2:48 PM

It should be a fairly quick round so you have until April 15th.

Bidoof FTW April 12th, 2015 12:30 PM

Necrum April 12th, 2015 12:33 PM

ScraggyTrainer April 12th, 2015 2:14 PM

I think, if you win, you "catch" your opponent's mon (or you can choose one from their team if they have more than 1). So now, you have two 'mons, and you can choose which one of them you want to evolve.

Squirrel April 13th, 2015 9:55 PM

Ok great! Do you have to notify anyone about which you choose to evolve?

Blurryface April 14th, 2015 2:05 AM

I won vs Aslan~

Yoshikko April 14th, 2015 3:05 AM

Nope, in your case you'll just show up with one evolved and one base stage in your next battle.

I probably won't be online much of tomorrow if at all, so you guys can take the extra day to find your opponents if you have yet to do so.

Christos April 14th, 2015 4:01 AM

won vs oddísh

antemortem April 19th, 2015 9:32 AM

Sorry for the tardiness - round 2 is up. I coinflipped Sphealo vs. Aslan, with Aslan advancing.

You should all have two mons, and one should be evolved.

Necrum vs. Archer99
Aslan vs. Yoshikko
Squirrel vs. Christos
static vs. destinedjagold

Yoshikko April 19th, 2015 10:11 AM

5 or 100?

Necrum April 19th, 2015 1:09 PM

Yoshikko April 25th, 2015 6:34 AM

Necrum April 29th, 2015 1:15 PM

Lost to Archer99. It was a good match.

antemortem April 29th, 2015 3:36 PM

Round 3 is up! Matchups are in the OP. You should all have three Pokemon right now, and should have evolved two.

Aslan April 30th, 2015 10:48 PM

destinedjagold May 1st, 2015 3:10 PM

antemortem May 1st, 2015 4:09 PM

grand finale is

Christos vs. Aslan

get your match done when you can, announce when doing -> post replay when done :]

Christos May 3rd, 2015 2:16 AM

we'll be doing this within the next hour!

Aslan May 3rd, 2015 2:25 AM

Gonna be challenging Christos in a few minutes! Replay of the match itself will probably be posted after as everyone's dead or asleep at this hour.

EDIT: I HATE DRAGONITE (christos won!)

Yoshikko May 3rd, 2015 3:32 AM

i say definitely make this double elimination, it was loads of fun and the first few matches never take long because you only have one or two pokemon. pls do this again dave, i loved it!!

antemortem May 3rd, 2015 8:27 AM

Congratulations, Christos! :] good match, too

+antemortem: excellent
+antemortem: i may or may not make you an emblem
+antemortem: depends on if i like you today

I'll probably do this again in the future with stricter deadlines so that interest isn't lost, and make it double elimination so there's more chances for lower yielded participants. hope everyone enjoyed!
