[] Pokemon Draft Tournament 2.0

Seems to be relatively unchanged, minus the lack of extra baggage and complexity. Good move, I say.

Anyways, I'm still in. Should be great fun.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yikes. Second to last?

Oh well, so it goes. It'll be depressinginteresting to see what's left.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Guess that makes it my turn. I'm actually quite surprised at some of the Pokemon that are left.


-Blissey
-Starmie
-Infernape

How ya doing, buddy?

Hah hah, you got me back by taking one I wanted.

Here's my last three:

-Gyarados
-Weezing
-Gliscor

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

Yes, definitely. I've got a few of my choices finished already (hence the pick), but I will be sure not to take nearly as long as I did in the last tournament.

One week, from today even, should be plenty of time for me to be up-and-ready.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yep, I'm all-set and good to go as well.

My internet connection is still a little flaky, so we'll have to kind of play it by ear here, but I'm good to go as early as, well, now.

Most amazing jew boots

Alright, it looks like the wireless I have access to in my apartment is going to be inconsistent this week. So, I will make use of an establishment with WiFi tomorrow.

However, I don't want to make the trek if no one is going to be available tomorrow. So, if anyone will be available to battle, let's say, from 1pm - 8pm PST tomorrow drop me a line. If there's a time tomorrow not in that range you'll be available, let me know too and I'll see what I can do.

I'll make sure to confirm the times I'll be free tomorrow before I make any promises later tonight.

FELIPE NO

I feel terrible doing it, but I'm going to have to go back on that plan and make it Sunday instead of Saturday. I'm sorry about the short notice here Kairyu, but something I have to take care of came up.

I will, concretely this time, be available for the same times (1pm - 8pm PST) this Sunday. Just let me know if/when you'll be free during that time and we can work it out from there.

Sorry again for the change of plans. :-/

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

Third results have arrived.

Identity Crisis vs Black Mage:

Round 1 (6v6)
I started off with what I figured would be the bane of Icy's team, but in fact, it was his lead that caused me trouble. Icy's lead managed to severly injure two of my Pokemon before finally being put down. After a little back and forth, it came to a victory on my end. And though I had three Pokemon remaining, this match was very close. If my prosecutor had been defeated, I would have been left with two sitting ducks.

Black Mage lost 3
Identity Crisis lost 6

Round 2 (3v3)
Even though the last match was close, this match was ever-so-much closer. I didn't change much up with my lead in this match, which proved to not work out in my favor. After some finagling, I KO'd Icy's lead. I thought I had his strategy figured out, but he was one step ahead of me, forcing me to switch. A powerful hit put me in a predicament, but due to a lucky bit of HP, I managed to squeak by a hit with my last Pokemon to pull the win. In all honesty, if the match lasted one turn longer, Icy had the win.

Black Mage lost 2
Identity Crisis lost 3

Black Mage wins! (2-0)
Pokemon Identity Crisis defeated: 5
Pokemon I defeated: 9

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The results continue to come in.

Tritoch vs Black Mage:

Round 1 (6v6)
Tritoch and I started off this match with very little trouble in the connection front. Unfortunately for me, Tritoch definitely picked the better leading Pokemon. Luck was on my side in the accuracy department though, and a couple of misses allowed the KingOfHell to rear its ugly head. Tritoch suffered a few loses until he forced out said King, but was met with Starmie instead.

Black Mage lost 0
Tritoch lost 6

Round 2 (3v3)
There are times when some Pokemon just cannot stop another. I experienced this in the Gym Battle tournament against Crash, and as it turns out Starmie was once again the culprit. Tag-teaming with the KingOfHell proved devastating, but Tritoch fought to the bitter end and made the most of it. We had a bit of a laugh at AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL MOVE fizzling out at the last second.

Black Mage lost 0
Tritoch lost 3

Good matches Tritoch!

Black Mage wins! (2-0)
Pokemon Tritoch defeated: 0
Pokemon I defeated: 9

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, I'm back on the East Coast again, with a reliable internet connection.

I see there's been no real activity for some time, so can we assume this tournament dead or is there interest in picking back up?

How ya doing, buddy?
