Wi-Fi Battle Tournament for Get-Together!

[sasuneuchiha]

Hey, everyone. I haven't been around the Battle Stadium much these days due to RPing, but I'm back for the get-together! Since there are so many of us (I think six at this point?), I agree with the suggestion to split it into the Single Battle division and the Double Battle division. If you don't mind, I'd perfer to help with Single Battle as that's just the type of battling I'm best with. If you'd like, I can prepare prizes. I enjoy EV training and IV breeding...so if anyone has objections to me providing the prize(s), please state so. Please put your votes in for this!

And the form I'd use for the prizes...

Pokemon Species: (Just state the name, please)

Gender: (Male/Female/Doesn't matter)

Nature: (Just give me one...)

Ability: (In the case of two...)

Shiny: (Yes or no)

Moves: (Make this realisitic, please. No giga impact on a magikarp)

IV Set: (I'd be thankful if you stuck to 2 Perfects, as that's easiest for me, but just give me one that wouldn't be impossible, so no no all 31s...but I suppose I could do that...)

Does that look good? I've been known to forget things when setting these up...and in general...so please tell me if I messed something up again.

32 man single knockout tourney y/n? We could split the tourney into Wi-Fi and Shoddy, or just do the Singles / Doubles divisions too.

 

[World King]

Well, why not have all those posibilites added? Each one of us can take care of a specific Tourney section: I could handle the Wi-Fi single division (and anyone else that wants to help), Cherii can take care of the Shoddy division (and someone else, too), and another can be in charge of a Doubles division. Also, while sasune can give out EVTrained and Good-IVed Pokémon as prizes, I can give out some Shinies and Events of my own (On the Events, I'll have to get a little updated, since I really haven't collected that many of this year's events)

With all the hosts, I think we can even do a UU Singles Division as well, for those people who think UU has more variety, and all that. (if any host wants to take care of this one, you're welcome)​

Don't you think that's a little over the top? Shoddy, Doubles, Singles, and UU... thats four tournaments we'll all have to manage. I'd say two separate tournaments tops. I think WiFi Singles + Shoddy ... or WiFi Singles + WiFi UU Singles is enough.

 

[World King]

Well, we each could take care of a specific tournament, so it doesn't have to be too much work for us. ​

 

[Azonic]

We need at least two per tourney. :/

 

[World King]

Meh, I could take care of the Wi-Fi singles on my own, but meh, if we can do this, they'll be lots of people coming here to get a piece of the variety we'll offer.​

BTW, nice banner! (If it would've been Lugia, it would've been more epic... :( ) ​

 

[Azonic]

How long should each round be? I'm thinking a day each, with the last two on the same day.

 

[sasuneuchiha]

Then, to even things, how about this setup?

This is called the Wi-Fi Battle tournament, so the shoddy thing just doesn't exist, though if you really want it, I'm willing to talk.

Two people for the Singles Open. Also, in terms of suggestions, could we not allow one uber per team for some variety? I don't see many ubers here on PC and I'd love to allow one per team for this event...but if not, I understand completely. The uber would have to be verified by someone to make sure its not hacked or anything, since I just flat out hate cheated pokemon for no adaquetly explored reason.

Two people for the Doubles Open, which is the double battling equivilent of the Singles Open. If the one uber rule is legal, I can see how this would be a one of a kind tournament. With it, however, we'd need to put down some solid rules...anyone up for helping me prepare such is welcome to.

Finally, we have the UU Only tournament. In this, only UU pokemon are legal for an awesome fighting experience...that is unparalleled here on PC since we're going to have as many people as we can!

Anyway, that's the setup I perfer to run here. I hope you understand my points...

Also, wonderful banner. I think it's perfect!

 

[Azonic]

The one uber per team thing would be a huge opportunity for luck based wins. And I can already see all of them being Arceus. XD; -shot-

OHKO Clause: Moves that always OHKO the opponent when the move connects are not to be used. Those moves include Fissure, Sheer Cold, Horn Drill, and Guillotine.

Species Clause: No using two of the same Pokemon on the same team (Example: Having two Salamence on the same team is prohibited).

Hax Item Clause: Items that rely on luck to work are prohibited. (Examples: Items like King's Rock, Quick Claw, Focus Band, Scope Lens, etc. are banned)

[sasuneuchiha]

That's...amazing. Cherii, you're wonderful. Great job! We're all set up with...checks calender 18 days to spare! Anyway, I thought it was UU...why not make it open? I know people who use a mix of UU and OU...and I love BL because its got some great stuff...but whatever. I doubt I'll be in it anyway since I'm helping host it...

Is everyone content with this setup? I suppose you're right. What the heck was I thinking, considering adding an Uber to the mix...I should be shot...xD

Anyway, I think you should allow a double battle tournament or at least more entries to the single battle. After all, this is the get together, a time for everyone to be allowed...now about that shoddy...

 

[Azonic]

If we do an OU battle, it technically includes all tiers except Uber. You can use UUs in OU battles because they're ranked lower in them, but you can't use OU in a UU battle. :<

I don't think BL exists anymore, does it?

 

[World King]

Yes, it still does. BTW, we're doing Wi-Fi singles, UU and Shoddy, no? So I think in each of our first posts, we should have something similar to Cherii, but for each Tourney division. ​

 

[Spinor]

Sorry, I could have posted earlier but I really want to thank my buffalo wings for that wonderful mess I made in the restroom + All day sickness.

Anyways, I, and many others, do not like thanking Smogon for the wonderful classifications of Pokemon. So to slow down rule breaking, I recommend splitting the tournament between Single and Double, Max 1 Uber, No OHKO, and absolutely no hacks. So that will only include a non-Japanese Arceus and any others with unusual stats.

We also need a level range. We could do Lvl 50 or 100 to make it fair.

I also do not like the idea of Shoddy. I always smell chaos with such matches.

 

[World King]

If we're adding the chance of 1 Uber per team, chaos will come forward. And we don't think a Doubles Tourney should be hosted; we think a Wi-Fi OU Singles, UU Singles and Shoddy divisions would do just fine. ​

 

[Azonic]

Oh yeah, there's like 5 Pokemon in BL or something.

And I really think Shoddy tourney is gonna be a problem. Back in the days with the Shoddy Lounge, we've tried multiple attempts at a tournament but only one tournament actually succeeded. The rest were closed before it finished due to lack of interest / inactivity. We had trouble getting battles done on time even in 1 week, and now we have to get in 1 round per day. x_x (and thats with a 16 man tourney).

32 man OU tourney; 1 day per round time limit; single elimination y/n?

 

[sasuneuchiha]

Yes to the singles. Now that I think about it, the shoddy would be absolute chaos. Personally, I see no reason why we can't host a doubles tournament. I'm open to reasons and suggestions for why it wouldn't work but please keep your reasons reasonable. The UU tournament...would it be only UU? Just going for clarity here...

 

[World King]

In the UU Tourney you can use UU and NU Pokémon. I'd say yes to UU.

And I think Shoddy is better than doubles. ​

 

[Spinor]

Why not Double? This is supposed to be "Wi-Fi" no? There is no reason to include Shoddy which will probably rot like most others. We will need separation and a simple one too. And I think Single and Double battling for 3 hosts each. Some people like me don't even find Shoddy very convenient and we probably won't even have enough for a good 16-man tournament. And what will those people get as a prize? Most of the people that do Shoddy are because they probably don't even have Diamond Pearl or Platinum.

 

[Azonic]

Why not Double? This is supposed to be "Wi-Fi" no? There is no reason to include Shoddy which will probably rot like most others.

We're not making decisions based on what this event is named. We're making decisions on what would work best. :/ James and Erik support the OU WiFi and OU Shoddy btw.

The UU tournament...would it be only UU?

Um... yes. What else would it be? It includes all tiers that are UU and under, (UU, NU, and NFE)

K9 and sasune should get on MSN. >:(
