We really need more tournaments were ubers are aloud because it kinda sucks for me that i can't ever do a tournament because of my darkrai and garchomp thats on my team and its not my fault i don't have more then 6 good pokemon that ive trained,i know theres more people who feel this way.I truely hate how they put pokemon in brackets like that because even if it is a uber it can be beat like any other pokemon.

I would start my own wifi tourament but i use my nintendo dsi for the forums and i can't run a tournament thread enless i used a pc caz the dsi browser has its limits.
First, let me tell you everything wrong with this statement. Number 1, practically nobody runs Ubers outside of the Quick Battle thread. I have doubts that there will ever be a tourney or league on here that allows them. Number 2, the way you say you've only trained 6 good Pokémon(and that it's not your fault)makes you sound lazy, not a good strategy to gain enough respect to start a league, ubers or no. Number 3, I'm no fan of tiering either(especially after Salamence), but that's how battles are run. May as well get used to it. Number 4, a LOT of people here battle on simulators. Wi-Fi doesn't seem to have many fans.

That being said, if you come up with any other ideas, bring them to me. After my time away, I've come back to find a barely active Battle Stadium, which is better than what I left, but still not too great. I figure it's time that changes. Perhaps a dual Pokémon Online/Wi-Fi setup?
Um isn't Aurafire running a weekly tournament thing? I think the last one allowed ubers. Maybe you could ask him when he plans on allowing them again.

Since when did number of pokemon trained have anything to do with making a league :// He could be new and just getting into the game or anything.


Also I hate to tell you but if you haven't somehow noticed the battle stadium has been dead since like mid 09...

Aura's tourney died because no one but me and whoever I battled with completed their battles. The due date was WEEKS ago.

Yes, and I appreciate that you actually got your battle done lol.

Anyway, I like to look at the Battle Stadium as kind of an empty shell right now, and we only have a few more months until B/W comes out, which should be a big activity booster. The way I see it, we should have things running as best as possible before then so we can ensure a smooth transition. That was the point of my wifi tournaments, to try to get some sort of steady activity going besides the random comings-and-goings of leagues/smaller tournaments. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have caught on.

Personally I believe that we have enough members here to have a small but decently active battling community to set the stage for B/W. I think the problem is that the leagues/tournaments aren't keeping people's interest. I hear a lot of members complain about how quiet this place is, but then do nothing to change it. This is where the staff can only do so much, and YOU guys have to step up, take control and communicate with each other and try to think of some good ideas to get the Battle Stadium moving again. That's precisely what this thread is for, and no one seems to use it. I'm happy to listen to ANY new ideas that you might have for tournaments and leagues, but they will only be successful of others are on board with it.

So yeah, that's my mini pep-talk, lol.

I can't think of anything else other than reviving clans or community night. Also, just a thought, we could combine community night and the tutor sessions that we might have. Except, this time community night will be less tournament focused, with just one or two tournaments and leave the rest for tutoring (maybe tutor new people in the tournament battles). Discuss a Pokémon or two every time we have it? That probably won't work, but again just throwing it out there.

We do already have two experience check tournaments for the tutoring, but these would be more laid back and have themes I guess.

Edit: Oh, and community night doesn't have to always happen during nighttime.

Edit again: Could also help keep people who didn't make it as an apprentice involved. Well, without the community night that would be the same, but with it they could participate in tournaments.

Well, I guess I need to dust off my old Nova League ideas and get it running. I'd like to know beforehand if there's any interest. There is a group called Nova League in my groups, so check that out. A lot of what's currently there will probably be changed eventually as it's a work in progress.

Another idea:

Maybe instead of clans there could something similar to this, with only like 3-4 teams of course. (tl;dr ex: There's 10 teams, and then each will need 10 managers w/ 1-2 back-up managers for each team (we don't need a back-up with our small battling community). Then, when every team has a manager chosen, there will be an auction to bid on battlers that have signed up (this is can be changed as well). And there will round robin style playoffs where each has to face each other, etc (like clan wars pretty much).

Good thing about having an auction for choosing battlers (or something similar), is that it prevents everyone from just joining the team DA is in, etc. It also keeps the good players balanced out, so they aren't grouped into one team. I didn't read the entire thread thoroughly, but that was just the general I got.

Having clans like this could prevent less spam since they would be more moderated and such, and random people wouldn't be able to make bad clans (spam pits).

Edit: Oh and all the battles would be 5th gen, we don't have enough users to have certain people for different tiers and such of course lol.

I like that idea, maybe we could do our own version just so we're not totally copying smogon, and obviously we'd be doing it with far less battlers. It's a fun variation on clans and wouldn't be nearly as spammy.

Anyone else have some opinions?

I don't mind changing it some, and we could make it more simple.

Throwing out another idea: tournament with the similar system to the New Year's one, but it encourages scouting and countering teams to make it more interesting. Basically, you view other battles, take note of their team, and do anything to gain the advantage over them. ;D

As if the Wifi Clause isn't bad enough. ~_~ I'm not a fan of that idea actually. xD However, I do agree on the points system for tourneys. They're more fun and a lot more battles are done, making everyone better battlers in the process. It also encourages team building because you don't want to face the same person with they same team. :o Otherwise they know your strategy.

The only downside is it also encourages certain people *cough* to cheat.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Ok then, I have a question for the lot of you then. Obviously now cartridge play is going to be pretty slow for Gen IV and nonexistent for Gen V, but come Sunday and the release of BW, do you think there will be an increase in activity of actual cartridge wi-fi play? I feel like there is an untapped community of gamers here willing to participate.
