[] Pokémon D/P Little Cup Tournament

Aka, the Sunny Park Tournament!
Entry to this tourney is currently: CLOSED
Quite possibly the easiest pokemon battle you'll ever get to play in. Or not.

The rules for this tournament are simple:

- Only Pokemon at level 5 and below are allowed to enter.
- Pokemon must have a evolution form (like Bulbasaur or Pichu.)
- Pokemon must be at their lowest evolutionary form (This means Pikachu isn't allowed since Pichu is actually the lowest evolutionary form.)
- You are allowed six Pokemon in your roster. Battles themselves will be done as double battles with each player using four out of their six.
- Each Pokemon in your roster must be different! (this mean you can't have a whole team of Totodiles!)
- Each of your Pokemon must have a different hold item (or none.)
- And lastly, all fixed damage moves are banned! This means no Sonicbooms or Dragon Raging folks.

To enter just post in here or PM me saying you want in. It also wouldn't hurt to tell me when it's best for you to play. Also, you do not need to PM me your team! I think I can trust you guys enough to follow the above rules. If you have a question about a certain rule just ask!

Tournament format will be done in Single Elimination~ Best two of three battles. Final round will be best three of five. You are allowed to switch your active team in between each battle, hold items included!

I'll leave the sign ups open until the 6th of September. That should give me enough time to setup and then we can start playing by Friday.

Dunno what to pick? Here are some suggestions and they're fairly easy to find:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I really hope the tournament won't stretch past Sunday. Monday at the latest. With single elimination everyone involved will be playing their rounds at once. I hope

As I said before, as long as everyone is here and ready (it's not difficult to collect six level 5 pokemon.) I'm sure the tournament can be wrapped up within a day~ possibly two.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Cool, thanks for joining up again =D

Do you guys think you'll need more time? I can push back the start date another week if it'll entice more newcomers to sign up. I just don't want the tournament playing itself to drag on for two weeks straight.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hm, sounds like we need more time to prep and tinker. I'll go ahead and extend the entry for this tournament by exactly one week .

So for example, psychic/flying would count as both a psychic and flying pokemon, so then I wouldn't be able to use a different flying pokemon and a different psychic pokemon?

Typing does not matter. You can have a whole team of water types if you wish.
Just remember that every pokemon on your team is not the same species!

From what I see the pokemon itself does not evolve into Manaphy. Rather it is a one-way devolution when breeding Manaphy with Ditto.
Sorry to say it cannot be used in this tournament.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Just thought I bump this thread and remind everyone that the tournament is still on for this Friday, September 7th. Please try to be available on that day!

If any of you need lv.1 pokemon or just a suggestion on a team to use don't hesitate to ask!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nah, I don't think it's necessary. If you're unsure on your team being illegal in some way maybe then you should PM me a roster for review. It would be embarrassing to catch someone using a Smeargle or Pikachu in this tournament .

Just in case I'm running late tomorrow I'll go ahead and post the bracket riiiiight now. You can post about your victory and or horror stories in this thread. I will then update the bracket pic accordingly. Good luck everyone!
And uh sorry about that random sketches, boredom does that to me.



Yes, that means you can start now .

FELIPE NO

After the tournament is over, would anybody be interested in playing a few exhibition Sunny Park matches? It seems kind of a waste that I'd only be able to use my newfound team for one to two rounds.

Sure, want to play on PBR? =o

Well I thought about what you said and maybe what I could do is turn it in into a double-elimination tournament. Basically everyone has two chances to make it through the tournament (for example.) It would be easy to retro fit into the current tournament since there are only five of us.

I wouldn't mind a double elimination.... Gives me some hope in this tournament again.

Alright xD
Consider it a done deal. I'll update the bracket layout as soon as I get my match in with Wolf. She should be back from work in a few more hours.

Additional Spam:
Sorry for my lateness. That was a long battle I had against Wolf. But they were good matches .

Anyway I updated the bracket layout. It looks kinda intimidating now xD. Aside from that we will all get to have a extra match, possibly more!



Anyway the following matches are next:

Chaotic vs. Freelance Wolf
^-^ vs. Kairyu

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmm I guess I'm done with my match against ^-^. Bumpy start but all's good.
We only got to do one match though. I assumed he was short on time so I'll let it slide =o.

Anyway, matches that need to be done now are:
Chaotic vs. Freelance Wolf
Identity Crisis vs. Kairyu

edit: oops, spoke too soon, just found ^-^. Sorry about that IC!
Hopefully I'll win anyway .

Additional Spam:
Alright, I'm taking the loss against ^-^ (bad connection + me running short on time.) We ended up with one win each but I can't stick around for the last one. So I'm giving him the win, his strategy is too much for my team anyway .

I'll update the brackets in a bit.
edit again:



There's nowhere I can't reach.

From the tournament?

Considering the time I think Freelance Wolf and Chaotic are both sleeping by now. So I'll give them a chance to do their match tomorrow then I will play against the winner of that match~ and if you're still playing ^-^ you will battle against the winner of that match.

Also I have a shift to do tomorrow so I won't be available until 3 or 4pm (-10 hours at GMT.)

edit:
updated the bracket once more



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I just got back home from work annnnd I see no progress was made during my absence .___.
Has anyone seen or heard from Chaotic and Freelance Wolf today? If not, I'll just go ahead and bump myself and battle against ^-^ and clean up this tournament.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh so I see =o.

Well then I'll let Chaotic advance and battle me instead. I can't keep waiting like this, sorry Wolf!

edit:
Never mind! Chaotic filled me in and did get a message from Wolf. Only thing is she decided to turn in a little early. So I'll give them one more day to finish their match then after that we're moving on!

Sorry about this ^-^ and IC! One more day couldn't hurt, right?

I was speaking idiomatically.

XD
I guess that's good news. Were the room mates that bad?

I sent a PM to the other two contenders a couple days ago. And got no response =x. I assumed the tourney just lost interest since we're lacking actual players and all. It's already Wednesday so I'll just say this tournament has officially kicked the bucket .

Though if you're up for a random match or two just drop me a PM.

Only 20 minutes away from home? Huh, why pay through the nose to dorm when home is 20 minutes away? =p
Ah well, I guess I'd try it out if it meant actually moving out for one semester!

Alright then, playing guinea pig against new teams is never dull .

Oh, I see. That's understandable, I guess I should've said something like, "reply back if you still want to play" My bad D:

Yeah, ^-^ didn't give me any word if he was going to do the 2nd elimination match. But like I said I assumed the party lost interest.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh yeah, sure! I'm up for some matches.
We can inadvertently see who the little cup winner is =p.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Hmm...?

I really like the idea of using a mixture of everyone's teams =p.
The only fast way I can think of making a tournament like this work is to have a person with a AR make the pokemon we need. That way all the transferring would only have to be done once for each player. No crazy stats or maxed out IVs or anything just a 'copy' of all the registered teams. If that's possible.

Not sure what you mean by Type Grab-Bag. Do I randomly assign a type/theme to each player and hope for the best? Or perhaps to each pokemon in a player's team? This is the first time I've heard of it. Can you elaborate more on it?

I thought about simply doing a lv.100 Under-Used tournament with the standard clauses and rules. But that might be a lot of training for some of us that don't have many alternate pokes.

Don't worry about it. I sorta saw this coming when very little progress was made after Saturday =p.
We all have School, Work or both to do. So I don't expect this get-together be a high priority responsibility or anything.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
