Welcome to the League! I don't think TGM will be bringing a Garchomp, but should you and I lock horns, I will be sure to stretch the muscle that hurts you the most ;) So far he and I are the only 2 participants who can use Garchomp.

Looks like Cyclone is the last to confirm. I asked if he'd be willing to contribute any crown jewels from his collection to our prize list as well. Otherwise, we are nearing our sweet spot for registrants - ideally, I'd like to get 16 (see the link for the brackets where I've illustrated the tournament with 16 battlers). We can accomodate 18, so that will be the hard cutoff, but 16 will allow everyone to participate in Week 1, whereas 18 will require certain members to wait until week 2 for their first battle.

I'll put you in for Doubles and mark Fire and Electric off for you XD

Zagan May 3rd, 2015 3:19 PM

Hate to be a pain, would it be possible to change Fire to Bug please? :)

Per our discussion, I will change Electric to Bug.

Just curious in the description it says it's not allowed to counter opponents signature pokémon. Now I have nothing against that.

I'm just here because I would like to know what are your favorite and signature pokémon?

I think a lot of people here can guess mine:P

skyburial May 3rd, 2015 4:58 PM

Guh, One hour of editing later
OKAY FOLKS, Rub Thighs has upped the ante and committed about a dozen additional prizes to the pot, and Zekrom has made some contributions as well. The spreadsheet has been updated, we now have 35 prizes and counting.

Gallade, Slowking, and Crobat, yeah?

Mine are Altaria, Excadrill, Swampert and Goodra these days.

Zagan May 3rd, 2015 5:53 PM

The one thing I have about the not counter teaming someones signature mon (an interesting idea to be sure) is what if someone has not stated what the signature mon is, but later trys to call someone out on it?

This question confuses me.

skyburial May 3rd, 2015 6:26 PM

It's really hard to call someone out on counter teaming. It comes down to how familiar the opponents are with each others' teams. It would be very easy, for example, for Polar Spectrum and I to counter each other, because we've battled each other upwards of 2-300 times since October.

At the same time, it's equally difficult for one of us to "counter team" the other because we know the secret threats and are usually prepared for each others' shenanigans.

rob_thijs May 3rd, 2015 6:32 PM

I need clearance to see the prize file ?:P

skyburial May 3rd, 2015 8:01 PM

Should be viewable now. Sorry for the oversight.

How about yes?

We're getting really close to the number of participants we need, folks. In the event that we get a 9th challenger before Cyclone confirms, I will give that person his typing.

Nice :)

Cyclone May 4th, 2015 6:20 PM

Oh, I'm sorry, I never noticed the link in the PM I last received. I can go ahead and join up with this tournament idea; I'm going to swap back to my computer tomorrow and get my Skype going again so it's easier to reach me quickly. I've been doing a lot of Bulbapedia editing of late, so my activity pretty much everywhere else on the Web has declined somewhat.

I heard about Shinies being suggested to add to the pot. If me cloning it isn't minded at all, I can offer the 4IV Shiny Torchic I hatched. I have a 1IV Shiny Eevee hatched as well, but would have to look for it. Both were actually accidents (kinda like that extra kid you didn't plan to have but are proud to have).

Cyclone are you by any chance an author? Your messages are always so detailed, not that it's a bad thing though.
However good to see you back and good luck in the tourney.

LOL, I'm not an author, but boy...I wish I could review video games and get paid for it. I'd do a good job at that.

skyburial May 5th, 2015 6:25 AM

I'll put you down for Singles, Cyclone :)

Can you send me the deets on the Torchic and Eevee?

Uh, I can do that later, but I know it's a 4IV Shiny Torchic. that arrived while I was creating 6IV babies of the Hoenn starters (I finally got all three, and they were in my OR playthrough). The 1IV Eevee came while doing a breeding project and all I wanted was a female; oddly, it was the worst Eevee of the group of 18. Only kept it cause it was Shiny.

Word. Shoot me a PM when you've got that info.

Since there's a high likelihood that some of us will end up playing in a format we're unaccustomed to, I thought I'd share an article that might help you with setting up a separate team for Doubles:
