Pokemon X and Y tournament!

[ForgottenT]

As said above, there?s no reason to post the levels since they will all be scaled to 50 anyways, and it?s ******** if we cannot use our teams until the tournament.

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

:/ fine, I'll remove the bit that says the about posting the levels...

 

[KarlaKGB]

Thank you I'm sure everyone is appreciative of the effort you're putting in to organise this. We're just trying to give constructive criticism.
You should probably add the battle format too. I assume it's singles using the "normal" ruleset? (as opposed to "flat" or "unrestricted")

 

[Midoriya]

I can't see anything about flat battle. All I see is a rule that all Pokemon must be over lvl 50, which wouldn't be necessary if we were using the "Normal" wifi ruleset which sets ALL Pokemon to lvl 50.

I'm not arguing against fixing the team, I'm arguing against fixing the levels.

What are you talking about? I've never used a ruleset where it sets Pokemon under level 50 to level 50. Flat battle doesn't do that, and I don't remember normal wifi ruleset doing that either. Flat only sets above level 50 to 50, not from under to 50. Also, why does it matter in the first place?

Yeah they do.

 

[Midoriya]

Yeah they do.

Oh, okay then. I don't think I've used it, so never mind.

4th Gen wifi battle did this, 5th Gen didn't, and now they've brought it back again.

 

[Silversea]

Not to add more fuel to the fire, but since under 50s are not allowed in this tournament anyway it is irrelevant what rules are set.

Oh, okay. I never noticed that, even though I started with generation four.

Wrong.

"Normal" and "Flat" are very different. "Normal" is an unrestricted battle that sets ALL Pokemon to lvl 50.
"Flat" is Nintendo's official competition rule. 3 Pokemon maximum, Legendaries banned, Item clause and Species clause.
There's a third which is "Unrestricted" which is just like "Normal" except your Pokemon levels are not set to 50, but are their real value.

So it matters very much what rules are set.

I was only referring to the case of levels being set or not being set to lv 50 .

If levels are not set to 50 then you're going to have lvl 70s going up against lvl 60s.

I completed the story mode of Pokemon Y today! Now i'll go catch 6 different Pokemon Species for this Tournament.

Flat is my preferred rule set, it can take a while to put together a full team.
But we have until the 12th, so the Flat rule set with 6 Pokemon is fine by me.

Going to start putting a team together now that I've finished the main story.

 

[KarlaKGB]

I dislike item clause, which is part of Flat rules. Though it's not too bad in the 3v3 stages.

I think the tournament will use the Normal ruleset, as eventually there the matches will be 4v4 and 6v6. Rules of the tournament state you need a team of six anyway.

 

[TheCreeperHugz]

Well, it seems quite the debate has gone on while I have had no access to the internet.
I didn't think about flat having a 3 pokemon max rule, so as the plan was to have 4v4 and 6v6 in later rounds, I guess we would have to use the normal ruleset.

I may not have internet for the next few days, so once again my helpers are in charge until I can get back on.

 

[Yuki Nagato]

Aw, I missed this

 

[Midoriya]

Aw, I missed this

You can still sign-up as a reserve person, I think

 

[Silversea]

When it says "Transfered pokemon" does that mean from previous games, or do all the pokemon you enter have to be strictly raised/caught on your own game?

 

[KarlaKGB]

I'm interpreting that as previous games, which is a non-issue currently.
