I would suggest legendaries should be banned from preliminaries and Gym challenges. If anything, only the Champion should be allowed to use one legendary, but that's still stretching it since none in the anime or the games has legendaries. We'll conveniently ignore the fact that Ash had to battle a Darkrai and a Lugia in the Sinnoh League (and actually beat both, but ran out of his own Pokémon to do so).
 
I'd like to join, if it's not too late. I can only do Showndown, though.
 
ok so no legendaries is that what everyone agree on?

Just uh, not anything that's specifically banned in gametypes :P Darkrai in general, as well as Dark Void in doubles are pretty illegal just about everywhere, haha.

Speaking of - even without that you and I are still 1-1, we need to rematch mate.
 
A colorblind slice of loaf can beat you if you dont bring your best people. It's suppose to be hard. You play cuz YOU wanna win. You wanna prove your "community/website/whatever" is competent, and not just a bunch of retards. Bring your best people. And win. Discover new talents. Get reconizion. Don't end up as "the place where the moderators were beaten by casuals". Don't fall back; challenge Smogon. Don't let Smogon be the only place to be. Because then I've got nowhere to trashtalk.
 
hi, so um i wont be able to battle anyone until friday evening or saturday cos of school.

sorry for any inconvenience caused. for those who need to battle me for the qualifier, feel free to contact me whenever im online, thanks.

Aww, oh no, that's turrible. Sorry about that mate, good luck with school and stuff. :c

Maybe once you defeat the four gym leaders there can be a checkpoint, so that if you say lose to the champion, you just have to re-challenge the elite members rather than all the gym leaders? Otherwise most of the battling will be concentrated on the first gym leader.

That's kind of a neat idea, checkpoint after the leaders but before the Elite 4? It sorta makes sense too, since you're done with the gyms and have to go through victory road and stuff before you start the elite 4. Anyone else got a stance on this?

Its really just 1 or 2 specialist pokes so gym leaders dont get steamrolled in a bad matchup. I think there will still be a feeling of authenticity haha

Edit: won vs elnoor, gg man

Ehh... Yeah, perhaps, perhaps... I'm glad the poll got changed so we can really see how many people feel each way about this, 6 to 8 so far.... so how about we meet halfway-? The poll, if Monotype wins, we don't HAVE to do all monotype still, UNLESS - there's two times as many votes for monotype, as there are non-monotype. So unless there's seriously a 2:1 ratio of people who want monotype gyms, we can have a single flex pokemon? Does that sound fair? (maybe 2 if there's high demand for that. Maybe.)

Isnt it suppose to be hard? Monotype isnt hard. Just do it like Smogon Frontier. The "leaders" bring their best team. And they win. It's suppose to be impossible. That's why only like 3 people have beaten the Smogon Frontier the three seasons (Rey, Bloo and someone else I think).

I can do GSC/ADV and go undefeated with zero issue if needed.

Firssst of all - we're not Smogon. Secondly, we don't want it to be impossible. Thirdly, I hope more than 3 people in a given amount of years will be able to do this. Especially since I'm guessing members will wanna challenge the league themselves. (we should probably make up rules about that too btw)

I'd like to join, if it's not too late. I can only do Showndown, though.

It's not too late - but you'll have to hurry! We're closing qualifier results on Thursday, and today is the last day you can join, so challenge as many as you can today as quickly as you can! (although really you'll probably have a bit of time tomorrow since it's not like anyone's gonna lock the challengers after midnight tonight.)

ok so no legendaries is that what everyone agree on?

I mentioned before... legendaries like Moltres, Coballion, or Uxie aren't such a big deal... but BANNED ones... xD And Darkrai is definitely banned... But, in our rematch right now, again we tied - 1-1, annnnd you had a mega blaziken this time xD It's... alright, I guess... but, we still have to rematch anyways.

Heh, well - y'know I am pretty sure PokeCommunity isn't incompetent, and we doooo have an OU tournament, which I'd wager is fairly chock full of highly competitive players, as well as I'm pretty sure a number of other tournaments and battling clubs. I allllso think nobody's gonna assume we're a bunch of retards, because they beat us in a Pokemon League we organized, where we did have monotyped teams. :P Y'know, to do something better than Smogon, you don't have try and do the same thing as them. And I personally really hope this doesn't become anything close to a smogon-knock off league. Boo on that.

Polar Spectrum vs Elnoor - Polar Spectrum won (after 2 tiebreakers!)

Singles - NKWG WWWW WWW8 RA4M
Doubles - LYRW WWWW WWW8 RA4Q


Polar Spectrum vs Cakesu - Polar Spectrum won (question about this)

Singles - AL2W WWWW WWW8 RAVW
Doubles - 2ABG WWWW WWW8 RAVX

Okay, so I did those, but Cakesu would like to withdraw from the tourney to take a spot on the league :I Are all matches with her now moot? Should I take them off the list? Obviously her name goes off the participants - but this leads to the question, do we go by who has the best records, most wins, or what?

omg, I find this phrase terribly amusing XD

We're not saying that we want this to be easy, but we don't want it to be as hard as the Smogon Frontier thing you mentioned. The reason why is because PokeCommunity is not Smogon. Smogon has a lot of people who are interested in competitive battling, and that is what the site is all about. I'm expecting some skilled players to challenge our league, but I'm also expecting a lot of casual-type players as well. It's not gonna be all serious battlers like I assume it is over at Smogon. I'm afraid that with the number of non-serious battlers we'll attract that if we're all too skilled that no one will challenge the league because "it's too hard". Not to mention that PC has yet to have a successful league in it that doesn't die out within a few months. If we had a large number of serious battlers, then what you're saying would definitely be something to keep in mind.

But despite that, I like that you want us to aim high and try to compete with Smogon, more or less. =)
 
Why would you not play on PO/Showdown? Cartridge play is so 2009. If you play on your 3DS, you do it so you can upload the game to YouTube. And PLEASE don't use the "but I worked so hard to train my Pokemon". That's just dumb. You coulda spared yourself 100+ hours if you just played on Showdown. And you can easily change something up if you notice a flaw. And you get battles easier.

I just have to say one more time how dumb "I trained and raised the Pokemon myself, I put so much time into it" sounds. That's like comparing regular chess to chess games online and saying "I bath this pawn every night before bed, and hopefully he'll develop lazercanons and nuclear weapon soon".

3DS is portable, gives me more feeling and close to my pokes. Gotta disagree with you on that brah...
