It organizes things mainly but if you have everything under control in counting games thats fine.

Heh, yeah - sorry I'm not trying to seem like a dick; or like I'm shooting down ideas / ignoring opinions, but it seems like having set opponents would slow down progress in simply busting out matches between everyone, as opposed to just whomever is available battling. If there's like, 6 or more people or so that ask for a bracket, I'll totally set up a bracket, for group satisfaction.



Also, Polar Spectrum vs Ferraligator - Polar Spectrum won

Doubles - JJYW WWWW WWW8 P5RH

Singles - 79PW WWWW WWW8 P5SQ


Edit: Awh, thanks Ferraligator - your shiny Aegislash and Sylveon are really cool!

I'm fine with doing a bracket tournament thing for the Showdown part of the league. If we can get the 6 of us who're on board for Showdown all on the battle server at the same time, we can knock that out in one swoop. Wouldn't really take that long to do the battles themselves. Someone else is gonna have to set that though up, idk how to set up tourneys on the battle server.

That sounds pretty efficient, if that'll work and all the showdown crowd is for it wynaut. I didn't even know they had built in features like that. Only thing is like you said, gotta get everyone on board - and someone to set it up in Showdown. Speaking of, Bad Pokemon has made me aware he's not playing on cartridge, he's on Showdown too. So I've updated the top of page 5 battle list with that information.

Here's what I think we should do - for X/Y anyway.

We each take a team of two. Only walk in with two. Register them with Polar.

A bracket is made of the candidates. Matchups are determined. START FRESH; some haven't had any chance to battle yet or been challenged, and in my case, I still don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do.

From there, a double elimination takes place. Lose twice, you drop out. Each battle involves those two Pokémon. From the results of the bracket, Polar can decide who to have as leaders. Optionally, a "play all" format can take place; everyone battles everyone else once.

Of course, Polar has the right to either let the brackets decide or to overrule and choose someone as well. This may be if someone was playing with a weaker team and still won a match or two that shouldn't have been won due to skill, or so on. This isn't a winner takes all thing, after all; it's a Pokémon League.

Also, using overpowered Pokémon should be discouraged. IV breeding is fine, but using Megas or trapping styles should not deter someone's candidacy. If someone routinely sweeps everyone with a Mega Kangaskhan, for instance, that doesn't make them the best battler. Polar has a right to reject a team for this format, IMO.

Sorry, my 3DS has been so picky about connecting to the internet this week. Lemme move to a different spot, see if that helps.

EDIT: I'm a bit surprised I won both of them. That last one in particular was really close. I wasn't sure if Togekiss would've been able to hold out long enough to KO your Houndoom.

Hahah - I agree with some of what you said there - and think them's some really cool ideas. A mega kangaskhan shouldn't carry someone into a spot in the league, but so far as I've seen in the videos we haven't actually had an issue with that yet. And I ain't "overruling" ♥♥♥♥ xD The league is (hopefully) gonna be more than just one person in charge setting the stride for everyone else. I just want to get a fair placement for everyone who wants to be in the league as legitimately and quickly as possible. We're having pretty good success with X/Y so far, the battles are happening, people are playing, no foul play has been cried, and we're moving right along. That said though - if anyone wants to take charge of the Showdown half - please; pleeeease step up - I have no idea what I would be doing with that! Your ideas for the battle formats sound cool too :3 But I think (anyone please correct me if I'm mistaken) that most people are expecting to only register and have set pokemon for their teams once we actually assign roles and set the whole gyms and elites thing up. Dirty play should be discouraged though like you said :C But again, I've seen a fair amount of the videos, I didn't see any minimize Chanseys or the like.

Idk I think we should leave the X/Y format as is, I mean we're like halfway done already and it seems to be working for the majority of us
Yeah, we're just about finished with most of the more active people's matches here - this is probably going to go on at least until Tuesday though, as a few people expressed through PM's that they're not gonna be available this weekend.


Speaking of, we have a new entrant. Falkbalk - who will be playing Showdown! I've added 'em to the list on page 5, and the matching sheet.


Seriously someone take the reigns on Showdown half; plz. If someone doesn't by the end of the day, I'm probably going to start awkwardly approaching individuals asking them too.

Edit:

ALSO - I've updated the battle results in the page 5 post as well as of this post - if anyone's match results aren't on there, or incorrect - lemme know!

Let me scan my Safari lists and find people to delete. I might be able to battle later, or tomorrow. I really should try out my Heracross in battle. I really should work on my IRL course, though.
