Pokemon X and Y tournament!

[TheCreeperHugz]

With the upcoming Pokemon X and Y games just a week away, I thought it would be cool to host a tournament.
You will be given time to train a team of Pokemon. You must submit your team (either a picture pr just a list of your pokemon and their levels) to me through a PM by November 12th, exactly one month after the release date. Once everyone has submitted, I will post your team next to your name. Battles will begin on the 16th, the Saturday after the submission date. If you battle someone and they use a different team from the one they submitted, let me know (preferably show me a picture as proof) and they will be disqualified.
If something comes up preventing you from doing this, you must tell me before the team submission ends on November 12th. At least a week notice would be good.

Number of participating Pokemon:
The first round will be 3v3, so it is quite a short round. Rounds two through to the semi finals will be 4v4, which will be slightly longer. Then the final will be a full battle with 6 Pokemon each.

The tournament will use the normal ruleset, which sets the level of all pokemon to Lvl 50

Spoiler: Other awesome Pokemon stuff to check out ;)

- ACE's starter challenge!
- Gamergiadvance's pokemon writing challenge!

Rules:
1- You must sign up by release date.
2- Forfeiting any match will mean automatic disqualification.
3- Having any banned Pokemon on your team will mean automatic disqualification.
4- You must have a full team of 6 Pokemon, and it must remain the same team throughout the tournament.

Banned Pokemon:
- Any legendaries
- Any Pokemon holding the required item for a mega evolution
- Pokemon under level 50
- Transfered Pokemon

Prizes:
1st place: Your choice of legendary (Mewtwo, Xerneas or Zygarde) + 200 TBT bells + complete sweets set (ACNL prize)
2nd place: Your choice of remaining legendaries (see above) + 100 TBT bells

Can I join? Also, why are Pokemon under Lv. 50 banned? I mean because, what if there's a battle when this comes out? D: Other than that though I'm fine~

 

[Paperboy012305]

Kinda confused about this but It sounds fun. I wanna join.

you get a month to prepare, and someone with a level, say, 30 wouldn't be able to fight well against a level 70

 

[Jarrad]

Can I participate please? THANKSSS ~

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

I am welcome to any suggestions about how to make this better

 

[waddict]

How about having the grand prize be 1000 TBT Bells + the choice to get any non-legendary version exclusive?
No.2 prize is version exclusive...
No.3 prize is 100 TBT bells?

 

[gnoixaim]

This sounds fun, count me in

I have a suggestion, I think transferred pokemons should be banned, and we should only be allowed to use pokemons that we have caught in X and Y.
If not lots of people will already have lots of lvl 100 pokemons fully EV trained.

I second thins! Especially since literally anybody with either PKMN black (2) can create their own pokemon through an exploitation.

I was thinking the exact same thing and I like it. Please don't make the metagme banned.

sounds like a good idea that's better than physical prizes, as with in game stuff I don't have to worry about delivery and stuff I'll take this into account when I decide on the prizes

hmmm...
I'm thinking the megaevolutions may be too OP, but at the same time I'm thinking of letting them be used because they're so cool

what do you guys think about this - mega evolutions, banned or not?

 

[Hamusuta]

I'm in

 

[waddict]

We can't transfer our old Pokemon until December...
That's certainly out of the question
December 27th is when PokeBank comes out and you use PokeBank to transfer your Pokemon.

Mega pokemon should be in Ubers. Make them banned.

That?s good

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

so many people entered already! this is certainly going to be an interesting tournament

so far for the whole megaevolutions thing if 2-2 (if including me), which probably means they'll be allowed

 

[gnoixaim]

You should mention something about time zones, like "Must be available at this time for this battle" or something like that. Since everyone is from different time zones and it can be hard to meet up...

if your opinion on megaevolutions hasnt been said, say it now!
