So, I got permission from Cat, and I'm going to host the first Pokémon tournament for the forums! I don't have everything worked out quite yet, so I imagine that I will post sign-ups at a later date.
I don't exactly quite have everything worked out, so this is where all of you come in: Give me suggestions for rules (and be specific about it. Include clauses you want in or out, how many Pokémon per battle, etc.) and for a prize. I will consider all suggestions.

LiteTheIronMan · #2 October 23, 2009, 05:27:10 PM

The prize should be a really rare event Pokemon, or a custom built (albeit legal, meaning no hax) special Pokemon. I suggest a Celebi or a custom trained Floatzy.

Rules: Well, I don't want to feel like a tard and say a bunch of weird stuff, but Lv. 50 All should be a rule.

Cat333Pokémon · #3 October 23, 2009, 05:28:53 PM

Rules:

NO ITEMS!

FOX ONLY!

...FINAL DESTINATION!!

Okay, how about a team of six special Pokémon?

Special, how so?

Cat333Pokémon · #5 October 23, 2009, 05:31:33 PM

Like custom-built. Perhaps a Floatzel with Thunderpunch (just an idea)? They must be PBR-compliant, though.

Ditto616 · #6 October 23, 2009, 05:36:50 PM

Some people don't exactly have the resources for that... *looks at self* Perhaps two tournaments are in order then? One custom made, and the other... I guess blood, sweat, and tears raising

Cat333Pokémon · #7 October 23, 2009, 05:40:27 PM

I have the resources. All you need is Pokésav (one that's compatible with Pearl, mind you). You create the Pokémon(s) and I'll put it (them) on my game to be traded to the winner(s).

Ditto616 · #8 October 23, 2009, 05:42:58 PM

Okay, that sounds good. Now to get to discussing rules...

Magmaster12 · #9 October 23, 2009, 05:50:12 PM

I'm up to it but I can only battle through PBR my DS's battery is dead.

Ditto616 · #10 October 23, 2009, 05:52:49 PM

Oh yeah... I didn't announce the means of battling... I'm assuming it's going to be on PBR. If you don't have PBR, post here, and tell someone. We'll figure this tournament out one way or another...

Magmaster12 · #11 October 23, 2009, 06:02:00 PM

Let me set up the basic rules:

Lv 100 (All pokemon will be set to Lv 100)
No Ubers:
Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys (All forms)
Dialga
Garchomp
Giratina (both forms)
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latios
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Shaymin-S
Wobbuffet
Wynaut

OHKO - One hit KO moves are banned
Evasion Clause - No moves may be used which increase a Pokémon's evasiveness.

Also 6vs6 battle single

Are you okay with this ditto?

Cat333Pokémon · #12 October 23, 2009, 06:08:37 PM

I'd say that the best way to do it is to allow using whatever platform is best for the individuals battling.

Magmaster12 · #13 October 23, 2009, 06:11:35 PM

When will this take place anyways?

Ditto616 · #14 October 23, 2009, 06:15:52 PM

I'm thinking the rules will be something along those lines, although I can't say for sure. I was really thinking 3 on 3 matches. I'm gonna give this a day, and see what everybody jas to suggest.

Yoshi648 · #15 October 23, 2009, 06:19:28 PM

Rules: Your team can only consists of Level 1 Bidoof.

It will be some time after Nov. 7th, seeing as marching band rules my life until after state competition. It should be efficient enough time to get a team together.

Cat333Pokémon · #17 October 23, 2009, 06:23:40 PM

I should probably stick an ad for this on YouTube. (It would give people a reason to join the forum, too.

)

Luxray13579 · #18 October 23, 2009, 08:59:01 PM

I dont have PBR but i would like to join
(maybe i could get it some how........)we'll see

Cat333Pokémon · #19 October 23, 2009, 10:18:02 PM

I'd assume DS games would also be acceptable for users without PBR. It's entirely between the two users in each battle.

zsaberslash · #20 October 24, 2009, 01:26:26 AM

I only have PBR, (remember DS + washing machine?)

Cat333Pokémon · #21 October 24, 2009, 08:55:01 AM

Well then, hopefully it doesn't wind up with you versus Luxray.

Darkrai · #22 October 24, 2009, 09:02:39 AM

I'll totally join this tournament if you guys do it.

It's going to happen, it's just not quite ready yet... I would still like more rule suggestions, please.

Cat333Pokémon · #24 October 24, 2009, 07:59:19 PM

I think as soon as you start sign-ups, I'll advertise it.

alternateshadow300 · #25 October 24, 2009, 08:03:44 PM

Sounds fun! I'll do the best I can to think up ideas

but I'm signing up for sure!

Darkrai · #26 October 25, 2009, 09:34:36 AM

I think we should play with the world championship rules. Meaning all pokemon lvled down to 50, most of the legends gone (forgot specifics), no same 2 items, etc.

Pikaluv1 · #27 October 25, 2009, 09:46:50 AM

Joining! using both!

Cat333Pokémon · #28 October 25, 2009, 09:48:40 AM

World Championships rules would probably work best.

Pikaluv1 · #29 October 25, 2009, 09:52:08 AM

Yeah that fits

Luxray13579 · #30 October 25, 2009, 10:14:14 AM

i agree get ready for my LUXRAY ASSUALT

Cat333Pokémon · #31 October 25, 2009, 10:21:46 AM

Six Luxray vs. the trainer with six Magikarp.

Luxray13579 · #32 October 25, 2009, 10:23:18 AM

i wonder who will win ???

............ Magikarp!!!

Ditto616 · #33 October 25, 2009, 11:06:18 AM

At this very moment, I am looking into acquiring the World Championship rules. We will probably go under these, with a few revisions (or at least one that I can think of).

Luxray13579 · #34 October 25, 2009, 11:10:04 AM

which one?

alternateshadow300 · #35 October 25, 2009, 11:14:01 AM

Actually I don't know if I wanna join...

Ditto616 · #36 October 25, 2009, 11:22:25 AM

@Luxray: The most recent one. I'm actually on the site right right now, thinking of the revisions I need to make

@Alt: Why not? It'll be fun. Either way, I don't know when exactly it's gonna be. I have to make sure I am doing NOTHING ELSE BUT Pokémon that day, and the way my dad is... >_> I don't know when that's going to be.

Cat333Pokémon · #37 October 25, 2009, 11:46:26 AM

I could run it if it's a problem. The tournament doesn't have to take place all on the same day. As this is a forum, you can just wait until one tier completes before moving up to the next tier.

Ditto616 · #38 October 25, 2009, 11:59:10 AM

I don't think it should be a problem. If it is, I'll tell you. I do like the idea of different tiers on different days, though... *ponders*

Ditto616 · #39 October 25, 2009, 12:17:46 PM

So, let's write up a rough draft.

RULES FOR FLOATZEL.NET TOURNAMENT:
1. Any Fourth Generation game from any region of the world may be used (that's right, Hg/Ss are free game if you imported them)
2. This tournament shall be conducted in a single battle format, in 3 on 3 matches. (I'm going to put up a poll, if I can figure out how, to see if this is the more popular.)
3. You may not use the same item more than once, although you may have more than one of the same Pokémon on your team.
4. The following Pokémon are not permitted:

,

(tell me if I either A. missed one or B. think others should be on the list. Tell me why they should be included)
5. You may only use legitimately obtained Pokémon with legitimately obtained moves. (Please be honest on this one.)
6. If there is some sort of problem, please contact a judge (not sure who they will be yet, but I have a pretty good idea...) and they will sort it out.

Tell me if I missed any points, please.

Cat333Pokémon · #40 October 25, 2009, 12:19:26 PM

Alright, now I guess we should vote on the rules. Start up a new topic with a poll (on Announcements) with that post.

alternateshadow300 · #41 October 25, 2009, 02:44:16 PM

I guess I'll join.
