Title: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 06, 2007, 04:00:21 pm: ZE TOURNAMENT :O

First things first, whats allowed and whats not.

The following list of Pokemon are BANNED.

- Level rounding will always be in effect for all Tournament matches.
- Using a Pokemon with an illegal moveset (Via AR) will result in instant disqualification from the entire tournament.

Failure to comply with this simple set of rules will result in an instant loss of the battle your involved in, regardless of the outcome, and a warning given. Except in the event of the final rule listed. Two warnings and your out the competition, simple stuffs.

For the battles themselves.

Battles will be fought on a best of 3 basis. Two singles, and then a double battle for the tiebreaker should both players have a win each.

A win earns a player 3 points, a draw earning both players 1 point and a loss scoring 0.
Draws forced by SelfDestructing/Exploding/Destiny Bonding/Perish Songing on the last Pokemon will be ruled as a victory in favour of the player who did not use said moves to force the draw.

Moving on, the brackets, randomly allocated thanks to Stefan! :o

THE BRACKET IS NOW NOT FULL. However the Tournament is underway.

ROUND ONE
(http://img471.imageshack.us/img471/4606/tournygroupshw4.png)

Red line indicates those players who will be dropped after each person in the round has played everyone else in the group.

ZE RULES

#1. Levels are to be rounded to 50.

#2. Battle summaries are to be posted, at the minimum, all it needs to state is the Pokemon used by each player, and the order they were KOed, however feel free to go into greater depth.

#3. You may only use THREE of your Pokemon for the group stages. You are however permitted to change the three you use when fighting another player in the same group. The double battle tiebreaker matches will be fought with FOUR Pokemon.

After this is done, the player with the lowest amount of points overall will receive the booby prize. If multiple players are tied for this, there will be a mini play off for it.

And then;

THE KNOCKOUT STAGES
http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tournykostagesml8.png

Yeah you get a link because it was stupid and shrunk and you couldnt read the text >:/

Much the same as the last round, except with the following rules.

#1. You will now be use 6 in using every battle.

#2. Levels are to be rounded to 100.

#3. Battle summaries consisting of atleast the Pokemon used by both players and the order of Knockout.

And last but certainly not least...

Post by: General Throatstomper on May 06, 2007, 04:08:08 pm: Current Participants
1. RPG (?)
2. genus (1031-7708-7520)

Brackets are lame if not done properly. I say you go for round robin style, but that may just be me.

Also, will it be single battles only, or will there be double battles as well?
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 06, 2007, 04:11:43 pm: I should mention that:

~~I am proposing that before each battle, a coin is flipped by an independant sourve, and whomever calls the side that lands up gets to choose, but Ill add that to the rules shortly.~~

I has a better idea, more on that later

Also dont worry these brackets are awesome, you wait and see.

Thoughts?

Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Taillow on May 06, 2007, 06:38:41 pm: Haven't a clue. But I can see if I can ask a parent to get the WFC connector of nintendo's so I can see if that'll work with my low transmission rate
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 06, 2007, 07:21:08 pm: Well if you get that like soonish you might still be in :o

Post by: Bilan on May 08, 2007, 06:07:22 pm: Ok, once we hit 16 players the Tournament will be underway, right after I set up the Round 1 bracket.

First and foremost, there are going to be prizes. :O

Now if I can get my hands on a Lugia, that will be the first place prize, and each of the other prizes will be moved down a place, and the 4th place prize will be no more~ Thereve been some pretty silly Lugia offers (Like one where the guy wanted a Probobass in return, which I only missed because GTS booted me off right as I hit trade on my Probopass >:(), but dont get your hopes up too high on that front.

THE PRIZES

First Place: Mew
Second Place: Master Ball

Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O

Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 10, 2007, 09:47:59 pm: Pretty much, you can live without them
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Magnezone on May 10, 2007, 09:51:29 pm: I find that kind of a stupid reason but okay :[

I spose I'll put my team together now
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 10, 2007, 09:54:57 pm: Speaking of that I need to decide what my 6th pogey will be :<
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: General Throatstomper on May 11, 2007, 01:21:37 am: Hey RPG...I'm in your group...stealing your points...

Also why are we limited to the same 6 pokemon throughout the tournament? Shouldn't adaptability be rewarded? I can understand not wanting loads of counterpicking going on...but actually, I really can't! It adds more strategy to who gets chosen on both sides. Besides, someone might get stuck with a dud pokemon that they thought would be a more effective battler. At the very least, let us change our team every (x) battles or so.

And seeing as how the eevee evolutions are drastically different from each other, does the rule of one per family still apply?
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Spinballwizard on May 11, 2007, 01:01:11 pm: I could see an exception for Eevees, but I'll let RPG answer that one. Besides, why would you use multiples from the same family without dupes, considering most of them are lower evolutions anyways? The only real exceptions I see to that would be using Magneton (still good in my eyes) and Magnezone, but even then that makes your team horridly weak to ground unless you invest a slot to Magnet Rise for both, which isn't really stellar.

Also there is variety in the opening rounds, since you can only use 3/6.

Also can you really call it a "dud" if it's good enough to make your team? I mean a smart person would cover all of their weaknesses. (Though admittedly, my NetBattle team can't handle Skarmbliss for shit.)
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 11, 2007, 01:19:03 pm: Your limited to 6 because I said so.

Consider this;

When you play through the game till after you have atleast beaten the elite 4, you tend to use only the same 6 pokemon (with minor exceptions) for the entire duration. So I decided to see how well thatd transend into a Tournament, and see if people can assemble killer squads.

Oh and I guess Eevee is an exception, its evolutions are mad different. Type wise anyway~
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Spinballwizard on May 11, 2007, 04:45:11 pm: And statwise. And movewise, in some aspects. >_>

PS: I've received no teams yet. <_<
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 11, 2007, 04:55:37 pm: Start pestering people? <_<

I STILL need to choose a 6th
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Magnezone on May 11, 2007, 05:38:10 pm: So does this mean you can have both split-evo's such as Gardevoir/Gallade and Poliwrath/Politoed

If that's the case then I've got a team. If not, well then, I'm going to have to raise a pokemon to defend against some of my current weaknesses
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 11, 2007, 06:15:46 pm: Hmm, that raises a question.

Because, Gallade and Gardevoir for one are VERY different, but the current rule permits that you cant use both.

So, all in favour of allowing all split evolution paths and not just eevee?

I am, I just want a rough idea of who else is pro this
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Selphos on May 11, 2007, 09:59:04 pm: I'M IN.

Pearl FC: 0215 7286 5374
Just call me Sondow, it doesn't matter

ps I like my phione... D: oh well
/me starts thinking of team
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 12, 2007, 07:02:15 am: GASP

One slot left to fill guys!

Said player has requested to remain anonymous until we have our final player however~
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: General Throatstomper on May 12, 2007, 10:19:36 am: I say allow split evolutions. With banning more than 1 pokemon per team, we were encouraging variety. I can't think of any two split-evolutions that are similair enough to warrant banning.

I also say that I'm cloning you a flash cannon for allowing us to have a pol of 12 pokemon instead of 6. I've had poor luck to date, but I'll be trying (seeing as how I need a power item to ev train a pokemon in a certain stat, I have little else to do).

And I also say that I've prepared my team, and am "diligently" waiting for Quartz to get online.

But before I do so...are cloned pokemon allowed? I have some hm slaves in my current team, but some of them have movesets I otherwhise like. Am I allowed to clone the hm'ers, keep the original with the hm set, and use the move deleter/move tutor to get the moves I want?
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 12, 2007, 12:41:38 pm: Sure, I dont see why not, it'd just be a far faster method of going out and catching said pokemon and getting it its moves

Oh and I made all split branches fair game

And Quartz has been informed of my team~

Waiting patiently for a final player :<
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on May 12, 2007, 07:09:34 pm: Rather than modify where itll go unnoticed.

The information you must submit to the judge has been altered slightly, go check it out~
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O

Also still no teams. :/

Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: General Throatstomper on May 15, 2007, 09:29:00 pm: RPG you douche I allready gave Quartz my team and he approved it, saying ':O' at one point in response to how delightfully powerful it is.

Also after I finish getting the team of 3 I'm leading with ev trained, I'll recruit someone. They'll likely be a terrible player with no merits who I'll pluck off the first ircroom I can. But, they will still be a player.

Oh and don't forget, you and I are starting the tournament with our battle set and I will post the results and it will be epic.

As such, were almost good to go, go and read the final paragraph on the first post for the opening date and the punisments for late team submissions. However, if all the teams are submitted on time, I am prepared to begin early.

If the judges could post when they receive team info that'd be great.

Post by: Groudon on June 01, 2007, 07:52:26 pm: battle log w00t

Sondow vs. Groudon

Sondow leads with Blaziken, me with Empoleon
Blaziken leads with Sky Uppercut, which is super effective and almost KOs Empoleon.
Empoleon retaliates with Surf, which is super effective and KOs Blaziken.
Next Sondow sends out Torterra.
Quick Claw takes effect, and Torterra's Earthquake super-effective's Empoleon, KOing it.
Due to this, I "fu quick claw" and send out Blastoise.
I take no chances, and Hydro Cannon it, which is a KO and gets and "fu" from Sondow in the chat.
He sends out his Blastoise.
His Blastoise uses Bite.
Due to Hydro Cannon, my Blastoise can't attack this turn.
His Blastoise repeats his move.
Mine mimics his.
The above turn set repeats.
The set repeats again, knocking my HP to half, but causing mine to flinch.
Turn repeat, thirding my HP, and almost halving his.
Again, but mine is low, and a lame flinch.
After a long delay, his surfs for the KO.
Out comes Alakazam. Pretty much nothing left.
Alakazam uses Psychic to almost KO Blastoise.
But here comes Bite for the super-effective near-KO.
Tiny delay for him to check something, but it eventually ends with Psychic.
3-2 me.

Round 2

Sondow leads with Blaziken, me with Empoleon
First moves are the same, with the same results.
Torterra again, but I hope for the Quick Claw to not take effect.
And it doesn't, and Empoleon Surfs Torterra for the OHKO.
Lines from chat:
Quote
[19:47:21] <Sondow> I hate you groudon
[19:47:26] <Groudon> Hate your item, not me.
Blastoise is next for him.
Blastoise Rapid Spins to chop off 4 HP with a not-very-effective, and he fu's in the chat.
Surf almost halves his HP.
Water Gun for the KO
Alakazam this time for the clear KO hopefully.
Psychic weakens it and keeps it standing somehow.
Alakazam survives a Bite.
I was gonna, for fun, Metronome, but it was too late and I chose Psychic. KO, though.
3-1 me
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: General Throatstomper on June 01, 2007, 08:55:14 pm: It's the match you may have waited for...

RPG vs. genus!

I led with a Vaporeon, and he used Aerodactyl, prompting RPG to say: "Fuck!". In desperation he used Stone Edge...and it missed, making him say "double fuck!". Vaporeon used surf and ohko's him. This prompted RPG to say: "triple fuck!"

He switched in Metagross. He used agility...and found out he was allready faster than I was. Vaporeon surfed, bringing him to 1/2 health or so. Next turn he used zen headbutt, at which point vaporeon finished the job.

RPG then switched in Flygon, who finished off Vaporeon. I switched in Drapion, and used ice fang...and he lived. EQ left Drapion alive by a hair's breadth, and he got the ko next turn. RPG did not say "quadruple fuck!"

3-1 genus
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: Bilan on June 01, 2007, 09:19:59 pm: Round Two

Aerodactyl Versus Vaporeon

Aerodactyl Stone Edges and this time actuall hits, sweeping Vaporeon out in one swift attack.

Out comes none other than DUGTRIO. I decided not to be ballsy this time, and just opted for a Wing Attack. Shockingly, Aero went first, taking it down to near death, while a Rock Slide from Dugtrio took it down to 1/3 HP.

genus followed up with Drapion, again I opted to play it calmly, Wing Attack, knocking off around 1/3 HP, while he was hit with Ice Fang for the kill.

I responded with Flygon, who was taken down to about 1/12 HP by Ice Fang, before securing the win with Earthquake.

Onto the tiebreaker, which will be a 4 Vs 4 battle, as will all tie breakers from this point.
Title: Re: The Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament! :O
Post by: General Throatstomper on June 01, 2007, 10:14:18 pm: genus vs. RPG

...the tiebreaker!

I led with Kingdra and Vaporeon while he opted for Staraptor and Aerodactyl. Aerodactyl used Stone Edge on Kingdra, who barely survived, and Staraptor used Brave Bird to take it down. Vaporeon used Ice Beam on Staraptor, defeating it.

I switched in Drapion, and RPG chose Metagross. Aerodactyl used stone edge on Drapion, who endured the hit. Drapion fired back with earthquake, hitting Metagross for 1/4 damage. Metagross used Earthquake himself, knocking out Drapion. Vaporeon's turn came, he surfed, and Aerodactyl fell, with Metagross hanging on by a thread.

In an even battle of sterling wits, he sent out Flygon and I sent out Dugtrio. Dugtrio used Dig to leave Vaporeon alive. Flygon tried using Dragon Claw and it missed Dugtrio. Then Metagross used earthquake. Apparently Earthquake hits for 2x damage on digging opponents. Dugtrio feinted, and Vaporeon just barely lived. He ice beamed Flygon. Next turn, Metagross used earthquake and defeated Vaporeon.

1-0 RPG

Post by: General Throatstomper on June 03, 2007, 12:14:53 pm: genus vs. Gazah...fight 1!

I led with Vaporeon, and Gazah used a Salamance. He thunder fanged, knocking Vaporeon out immediately. I switched in Drapion, using ice fang, and reducing his health to a low level. He used fly, at which point I switched in Dusknoir. Next turn, he used dragon breath, and I used Shadow Punch for the kill.

The next pokemon he brought out was a Dragonite, who led with a Dragon Rage. I mean looked, then took my chances with Destiny Bond after a second Dragon Rage. On the next turn, he dragon raged again, and we both went down.

I switched in Drapion, and he used an Empoleon. Drapion Earthquaked, and Empoleon used Hydro Pump, leaving Drapion with about 1/4 health. Empoleon used Aqua Jet, doing a whopping 20 damage, and Drapion defeated Empoleon with another earthquake.

Genus, 1-0

Match 2

I led with Vaporeon and him with Salamance...again. He used Thunder Fang again, scratching Dusknoir. On the next turn, he switched in Dragonite, who was hit with Confuse Ray. After this, Dragonite used Thunder Wave, paralyzing Dusknoir, who Mean Looked Dragonite. Thanks to handy dandy leftovers, Dusknoir was at full health. Dragonite hurt itself in its confusion, and a Dusknoir Shadow Punch took it down to about 3/4 health. Dragonite again hit itself, and Shadow Punch brought her to 1/4 health. I heard him despondently tapping the screen. It amused me. Dragonite, once again, hurt itself, and Dusknoir finished it with Shadow Punch.

He then disconnnected, and agreed to forfeit the match.

3-0 genus

I am such a winner.

Post by: General Throatstomper on June 06, 2007, 10:12:28 pm: genus vs. Staf!

...never happened because Staf has internet problems, which kept giving the error message 86420 upon joining battles on both ends. He's going to look into it tomorrow, and hopefully it will be resolved by Friday, when I'll be able to get a match in.

Is the tournament still alive? I say we take a list of whoever is still interested and eliminate everyone else.

Post by: Groudon on June 16, 2007, 11:57:38 pm: I'm still interested, and I'm not really in any hurry to get to battling again. Any time is fine with me for whoever's left in my group.

Post by: General Throatstomper on June 23, 2007, 10:28:20 pm: I agree with Rick. This tournament is dead. Having won more matches than anyone else, I proclaim myself the victor.

Unless RPG starts booting people. Start booting people RPG! If you don't, I'm going to make a tournament topic on Monday and it will be most interesting because it will incorporate the gyms.
