KH13 Pokemon Tournament Sign-Up/Interest Check

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

Hey guys, I have been wanting to set up a KH13 tournament in celebration of the upcoming Sun and Moon hyptrain bitches. Before I set the actual tournament, I wanted to see if this is something people would actually be interested in doing.

 

Obviously,the more people we have the better the quality of the tournament. If we get enough people, I also think it would be fun to set up a draft style tournament. So consider this an interest check/sign up thread. Just post below whether or not you're interested, and if you want to enter the tournament. I'll keep an eye on this thread for the next four days.

 

Entry format

 

Name:

 

Timezone:

 

Casual or Competitve:

 

Favorite Pokemon:

 

Draft format or Standard Battle Format:

 

Also please follow the topic to stay up to date.

 

Edit: To clear up some confusion draft league format is a lot friendlier style of tournament. Basically what happens is all participants will draft pokemon from each tier (3 OU mons,3 UU mons, 3 RU mons, 3 NU mons) at the beginning of the tournament. The Pokemon you pick will be yours for the duration of the tournament to be used in any combination, you want during each battle. Depending on the number of participants,everyone will battle each other at least once and the best four records go to the playoffs. This style of battling is a lot friendlier for casuals as you will know what to prep for instead of going in blind.

 

Edit 2: I'll add a list of the competitors who have confirmed as we go. Ideally I would like to get at 12 people before we start.

 

Competitors

• Robbie the Wise
• Felixx
• Xiro
• Ximomo
• 2Quidisgood
• Isaix
• Angel
• Dave
• Hedgehog Covered Tdawg
• Shulk

Actually, that's quite funny as I always wanted to host a tournament but never came around to doing it on here.

I think what would make it interesting if we had to pick a type and have our entire team being that type. My type would be dark

Mono-types battles can be fun but I don't think it makes for great tournament battles lol. But we could always find a way to incorporate it.

Everyone please follow the topic in case there are any updates. Also I edited the OP to explain draft style tournaments a little better.

 

@Xiro for convenience we might do this on Pokemon Showdown.

I'm interested, and if it's showdown, then I'm ok with everything, if it's on the actual game... I could do EV training but IV NOPE

 

Name: Zimomo in Showdown, Simone in the game

 

Timezone: UTC + 2

 

Casual or Competitve: As I said before, if we do this on the game, not TOO competive, because that would take way too much time (and I'm not really a competitive player myself). On showdown there's basically no difference since you can build your team in minutes.

 

Favorite Pokemon: Mega-Absol

 

Draft format or Standard Battle Format: I'd prefer the surprise of standard

I don't have a 3DS, so it'll have to be showdown for me if it comes to a vote

 

Name: 2 quid is good

Timezone: BST

Casual or competitive: either is fine, although I'll have to make my team again because I deleted my cookies without backing up

Favourite pokemon: Ralts

Standard Battle format for me

 

I hope this'll go through ^.^

 

I have a question though, is the standard battle format doubles?

Edited August 28, 2016 by QuidLea

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

For the sake of convenience and fairness, we will indeed be using Showdown.

[Dio Brando 5,810]

I remember a tournament we held a while back using the Pokemon Showdown site but one ended up getting canceled if I remember correctly

 

I do have a 3DS and both X\Y and OR\AS but I think we should use showdown

 

I need sometime to decide whether I should join or not cuz I left the Smogon format two years ago and went to VGC double battles instead

Edited August 28, 2016 by Smash Mega Koopa

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Wait so, we're not using vgc doubles? Which format are we using then?

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

I was thinking singles tbh.

[Zimomo 143]

Oh please no VGC, I'm so sick of GroudonKyogreRayquazaXerneasSmeargleKangaskhan. I'm ok with both singles and doubles though.

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Oooooh that'll be fun, alot more offensive than what vgc allows

[Robbie the Wise 5,050]

My thoughts exactly!

[2 quid is good 2,209]

My thoughts exactly!

I've never done it before though. In a way it's kind of freeing because I don't have to think about synergies too much, but I'm hard pressed for a team right now '-_-

[Felixx 6,646]

How does Showdown work exactly? Never heard of that before, I'm a newb

[Xiro 3,468]

I think it's just an online battling thing

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com It's a Pokèmon simulator where you can build your team very easily,without doing all that long process that creating a good competitve team requires in-game

We'll have time to prepare and I will explain showdown once we get the ball rolling. Truthfully that's why I suggested the draft league format, that way everyone has knows what their mons are and it makes team building a little easier.

Oh Smeargle can learn any move with Sketch, and that move is many, many, TOO many times dark void. (Oh and yeah, mega-kangaskhan obviously)
