I will wait for GB's answer THEN deal. Besides, I gave you the same treatment with the legendaries question from the last gym tournament. And I will say it too, its stats are not amazing enough to throw the competition into a loop.

Dude, I was being a wiseass.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Feb 8, 2009 02:03 AM

It's tough since it's technically a slippery slope, but I guess I'll allow it. Most people here are pretty understanding, and it is a fairly underused and lower-tier legendary.

Because of this, I'm willing to review arguments for a single, lower-tier legendary in other teams. But only until we're done with registration!

Additional Post of Great Import:
In case anyone is out there, we have less than one full day remaining until the close of registration. I will be kind of busy at the exact time tomorrow, so I'm just going to wait until I'm home an hour or two later.

Actual play should begin tomorrow evening or Tuesday.

When we have our team ready to go, do we have to send you the roster? We did that last time to prevent massive cheating, and it wound up being interesting since everyone had a way to plan against their opponents.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Feb 10, 2009 12:49 AM

We're doing it however it was done the first time around. So, I was planning on having everyone submit their rosters after the tourney. If someone saw a pokemon from that person during their fight that wasn't listed as part of their nine-man team, it could be called out.

That way no one has to reveal any secrets, and cheaters would be discovered.

Or we could just use Rotorblade as a guinea pig (as I have been doing) and just PM our teams to him so that he can hang on to them as a neutral third-party. I don't care either way since I'm not concerned about cheating and would rather not reveal my team straight away.

Oh, also, registration is officially closed!

Chaotic Feb 10, 2009 11:52 AM

I'll have my team ready pretty soon.

I thought of a random idea we should do for tournament when Platinum is out and stuff... While not limited to just Platinum, how about a Color Challenge Round Robin Tournament?

The silly idea is that we draw a random color and whatever color you get, you can only choose Pokemon of that color. For example, you get Blue. Your team could consist of something like Swellow, Lucario, Ramparados, Luxray, Blastoise, and Salamence.

It could prove to be interesting.

That would be a pretty cool idea. Although I'd hope for purple, which would mean I'd mostly have poison and get my butt kicked again.

Being Electric this time, I'm not sure what I'm going to use. I have to look at what I currently have... hmmm.

Crash "Long-Winded Wrong Answer" Landon Feb 10, 2009 03:49 PM

But you get Rotom!! The fun value of Rotom is through the roof.

(Not that Electivire, Lanturn and Magnezone are anything to sneeze at either. I was hoping for Steel just so I could field my own Magnezone.)

Identity Crisis Feb 10, 2009 08:19 PM

My team is ready to go. I don't have the full nine, but six should be enough anyway. Obviously, I won't be available 24/7, but I can certainly find a time slot for battling if PM'ed. I'm usually available in the late afternoon on weekdays (around 4 to 5 PM MST). Weekends are a bit more sporadic since my plans can change very quickly.

Also, hell yeah Rotom.

Sousuke Feb 10, 2009 08:28 PM

I'm still getting my team ready, sadly. I should be ready soon, though. It's Poison for me this time around. I'll probably get my ass kicked. :P

Chaotic Feb 10, 2009 09:03 PM

Just need to plop movesets on, nickname some Pokemon, and I should be ready for battling.

This weekend? Bad time for me to battle since I'll be heading to Katsucon in Virginia for about two days.

Otherwise, I'm usually available past midnight EST every day.

Also, are we doing badges again?

Crash "Long-Winded Wrong Answer" Landon Feb 10, 2009 09:16 PM

If Kairyu gets to use an Articuno, is there any chance I could use a Heatran? Fire is sorely lacking for many decent dual-types. It's stats are comparable to Articuno.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Feb 10, 2009 09:50 PM

Except that it has a beastly base-130 Special Attack compared to Articuno's 95. Also has better defenses (from a typing perspective), so even if it is critically weak to ground, Heatran is a little too good for this competition. Besides, it's past the registration close date, so I'm not looking at requests anymore.

If it turns out that this Articuno was a mistake on my part and it starts tearing up teams, I'll go ahead and put an asterisk next to Kai's name in the rankings. Or maybe ban it from the finals. Dunno yet since nothing's happened.

EDIT: That sounds a little harsh for Kai since he did nothing wrong and I'm the one who's allowing it. I just mean I'd make it clear for future tourneys that legendaries are probably banned for a good reason.

Identity Crisis Feb 10, 2009 11:33 PM

Oh hey, results!

GB vs. Identity Crisis:
Round One (6v6)
The both of us started out with our tanks, but his got the jump on mine in the damage war. His tank took down a couple of my Pokemon with a move I should've seen coming a mile away. I eventually tried to outtank him again before he switched into a sweeper. I also tried switching into a sweeper, but his freakishly fast and pumped sweeper wasn't going down easily due to a type advantage.

Unfortunately, a disconnect prevented us from progressing any further. I gave GB the game anyway since my remaining options wouldn't be able to stop his pumped sweeper (at least not without some EXTREMELY good luck on my end).

Round Two (3v3)
Definitely the closest game of the three, but that's not really saying much. He started of with a bad lead and immediately switched into what I believe is one of his most powerful Pokemon. However, the switch cost him a large chunk of HP and a status effect. He switched out into a damage sponge, and I was subsequently forced to switch. With my guys naturally weak to his, I was unable to win the war of attrition.

Round Three (3v3)
This was soooooo bad for me. Saying that this was a catastrophe for me would be an understatement.

I lost 0-3 :(
Pokemon I lost: 12
Pokemon GB lost: None (:tpg:)

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Feb 10, 2009 11:38 PM

Simply put, I won because I was Dark and he was Ghost. There was no skill on my part-- not to mention Icy gave me that disconnected match even though he still had 3 or 4 guys left.

His team scares the bejeesus out of me. :tpg:

NinjaguyDan Feb 11, 2009 02:16 AM

Ok I have my team planned out and I should have them made and all set by tomorrow. Sounds like things are in full swing already.

^-^ Feb 12, 2009 03:23 PM

inb4 Wobuffett team.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Feb 12, 2009 07:04 PM

Well, since Wobbuffett has been banned and is so mentioned in the rules thus making it an impossibility to see that team... yes, you are in before then.

You'll need to let us know your friend code so we can even attempt to connect to you.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Feb 12, 2009 08:20 PM

I'm also under the assumption that a lot of people aren't finished with their teams yet, since we've only had one match in three or so days.

I'm still in class, but I may have time for another match this evening.

Sousuke Feb 13, 2009 10:41 AM

I'm having a hell of a time getting my microSD to connect to my computer, but as soon as it FINALLY works I'll be able to get my team together. Sorry for the delay, I'll get it done ASAP.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Feb 13, 2009 10:47 AM

I'm not sure if it's wise to be openly admitting that you've Pokesav'd your team.

Are you new?

Anyway, has anybody seen Chaotic?

I haven't. I just removed the Diamond .nds from my card to make room for other things, the save file is still there. :3:

Also, the problem is the stupid microSD adapter that Cyclo gives you, and its compatibility with microSDHC cards. It works about 1% of the time. D:

Crash "Long-Winded Wrong Answer" Landon Feb 13, 2009 03:47 PM

For what it's worth, I've used Pokesav to get extra TMs. I suspect a couple others have too.

As long as Sousuke's Pokemon have legal movesets and legal stats, I don't have a huge issue with using a hack device. I'll submit to the same scrutiny if anyone wishes.
