[Attention] New Pokemon tournament - gauging interest

Hey, gang.

It's been almost half a year since the last tournament quietly fell into oblivion, and I was curious if anybody had any interest in participating a new one. I figure now's a good time to ask since Platinum is looming on the horizon, and everyone burned out on the debates from the last tournament planning might be ready to go.

Since the first was such a success, we could possibly do the Gym-style Tournament again. I wouldn't mind retrying it with a different team!

Anyone interested?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, and since it's the beginning of the semester for college students, they aren't really hunkering down or freaking out quite yet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In the end, it really depends. Water is also a very powerful typing, but it just didn't happen to show up. I say we just ban the previous top three's types from the last time. Yes, the skill of the trainer plays a huge role, but it makes things simpler than trying to decide what types are too strong. I'm all for having as little debate as possible, since it really bogged down Tournament 2 a while back.

In any case, if I were to run the show, I'd probably have the types drafted in the same format (the post after yours decides your type) or something similar (each person decides their destiny by picking their own number). If someone ended up with the same type they used in the previous tournament, then they would simply draft again.

EDIT: We have about five or six people here who can play, so that's about enough for the bare minimum. You guys know some people you can convince, right? I'd say it's worth a shot.

EDIT2: Actually, does anyone know who the top three were? Icy, Crash, and Josiah? Not necessarily in that order, but I'm trying to figure out what types would be removed.

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

Well, now everyone has a chance to see one of those powerhouses.

I figure this would be a good time to ask... do you guys want to announce who's what type after registration closes (like last time)? I'm assuming most everyone does, but I want to make sure.

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

I'm not sure what you're saying, Dan. What I'm asking is related to whether or not people want to be able to know what they're going up against when they play a match against someone.

Crash, I'll ChocoDecide your number tonight if no one joins.

I was speaking idiomatically.
