Is it Japanese or American? If it's the latter the OT should be ANNIV.

Actually this celebi that I think is real is from kanto, NOV 8 2009, and yes its japenese. Which means its possible to be from HG or SS.

Sorry, I think it's haxxor'd. Caught 6 days ago?
Level? Nature? Stats?

On another note: Either me or Luxray have a dodgy connections, which could be a problem in the tournament. We played two games (1-1) and disconnected at the tie breaker.

couple of questions:

1. How will we connect with the person who we go up against so we know how to fight them? Should everybody check in at the forums before matches to set things up?
2. Who's monitoring this? How will we know who won?

1. I guess the day of the tournement theres gonna be a big bracket. The two that are going up against each other will sort it out themselves on what there gonna be battle on.

2. Battle video would be the safest bet. If they can't post one then..you just have to trust that the other guy won't just say that he win if he didn't. ;w;

1. I'm on the room completely opposite to my router, it was probably me :/
2. There hasn't been a Celebi event yet. It's hacked, sorry!

And I say both players have to agree on the real winner. If they both say they won then they'll have to get proof, come to a conclusion themselves or else they're both disqualified.

Battle videos can be used to confirm victories, but as long as there are no sore losers, we should be fine.

I'll stick the video up in the morning of Black Friday (my time) or maybe the night of Thanksgiving, telling people to prep their teams and check out a specified (not yet created) topic.

I think we should have a topic where all participants sign in on the day of the tournament, so we know they've shown up and we can properly organize things.

Yeah, it shouldn't last more than one weekend. There's only like 6 rounds in a 64 person tournament. One battle might go on for a while, but still shouldn't take that long. 3 days is plenty of time.

Just little over a week, man, I'm really excited about this! I have never been in a Poke tourney before, though I've seen my friends participate in several. I hope the bracket gets put up soon!

Also I have a question: What time next Friday are we actually starting? I've tried to get out of work that day, but they wouldn't have that, so I know I can't get home until after 6:30 EST. If that is too late, just let me know and I'll try to push harder to get it off and hope to be successful.

Friday is the only day in question with me, the others are perfect. With this only being 64 people, I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem, but that's why I was asking, so I could be sure it wasn't. I don't plan on dropping out at all unless I absolutely have to, I gotta test my newest party that I got EV trained over the last 2 months ^_^

Yeah. It will become 50. That's why we didn't do 100s. There's no way to make Pokémon level 100 in PBR, but it is possible in the DS ones.

So, I've finally found my Platinum cartridge after a month or so of looking. Now I have a few more days of preparing. (If I didn't find it I woulda used my PBR teams.) Unfortunately, most of my Pokemon still aren't in top shape, especially the new one I'm trying to EV train. (Those guys aren't even beyond first stage evos.)

Well, the team I'd be using in the tourney is all at Lv. 50 or above without EV's. The team I'm training from scratch will have EV's, but I'm not sure if it'll be ready by tourney time. (IV's are blech to try and control.)

I've been working on improving my team. I hope I make it past the first round. My losses tend to balance out my wins. Also, I don't bother with EV training. I don't have the time or patience. Or knowledge of how to.

Buizel456 has dropped out. He's been replaced with our first backup, darkumbreon135. Be sure to reflect this on the bracket.

If we have another drop-out, Magmortar will take his/her place.

Okay, I swear, this is my last question! (I know, I'm a bit annoying at times >_<

for the tourney, is it a single-out or double-out setup? I think double would be more accurate for judging the team's skill, but single is a lot quicker, I dunno, it's up to you guys.

Hehe, this question comes up alot. =p We did a vote on it early and the majority of it came out to wanting single battle, but were thinking of doing a double battle tournament next time. Im actually making a double battle team just for that occasion~! =w=

On the subject of judging matches...

I understand this might be difficult, as of course, we cannot evaluate your match if we aren't there. So, we'll be going by the honors system for the most part.

However, I have an idea that we could put to use to overcome that.

1. Anyone who can, record a video of the match and submit it to YouTube, then send it to a judge for review. This process is a little lengthy though, so it might not be desirable.

2. Platinum players (and if HGSS has a Vs. Recorder, you guys too) have a Vs. Recorder. They can use this to send videos of matches for online viewing. This will come in handy for judging. Simply submit a Battle Video online, and then send the video ID to a judge, who will review the match.

If we can do this, it miiiiiiight be able to cut down on how many times trainers cheat during the tourney (granted they shouldn't be cheating at ALL.)

Of course, this might not be able to be applied to everyone, so we'll rely on the honor system. If one trainer notices something out of the ordinary that suggests hacking or illegal modding, report it to a judge at once.

Also, on the topic of gameday, should we use the floatzel.net/chat page to make sure everyone's there and battling live, instead of posting in a topic on the forum, which takes a few minutes?

Yeah, I'm going to be switching my team over to platinum for the sake of having the same name (Spiral), so I can probably do the battle video thing. Two Things I don't know how to do: 1. Post a battle video 2. Set the battle to level 50. How do I do these?

1. Jubilife's GTS has a Battle Video submission station.
2. The settings are there when you search for a Wi-Fi battle.

To set it to Lvl 50 it depends on what game you plan on using. If your doing this on PBR you will have to make a custom rule and set it to 6v6 and Lvl 50 all. On DS Wi-Fi all you have to do is click Invite in the Wi-Fi club, and then you pick what you want the battle to be like, step by step. To post a battle video you need to got to the Platinum GTS and go upstairs to one of the rooms (I forget which one) and click on the machines that the people are using. Then it's simply explained by the 3-4 options you have. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure. The chatroom only keeps history for a little bit (I think the last 10 posts) and chat software log files are a bit on the messy side. I'd prefer people posting who wins, battle video numbers, YouTube links, and the like on the forum, so that judges, and anyone else interested can view them at any time, even after the tournament ends. (Plus, posting on the forum also makes it look busy. ) So, my vote is for the forum.

Well, we could at least just be there. I do agree that the battle video numbers should go on the forums, but I do also think that anyone that can be in the chat room should at least try to be there.

Even so, having everyone on the chat would still be -somewhat- more organized, quicker, and efficient than having everything posted on the forums, where details can change on the fly and we'd be out of the loop. In the chat, at least we'd have a steady stream of info regarding the tourney. Besides, individual trainer talk can always be done through PM's on the chat to prevent flooding.

Alright, we'll be in the chatroom, but the winners and numbers would get posted on the forum. (Remember, in a couple months/years, we'll probably want to look back to this.)

Honestly, I would have it where it's all done in forum posts for all regular members, but the Admins/mods should be in the chat as well as the board. Anyone that suspects anything can go into the chat and post what the problem is. That way, problems are addressed almost instantly by the higher ups and they can be taken care of. Keeping the chat clean will help the mods keep a track of who enters in much more than letting everyone in to have their say.

Anyway, DAMN! Only a few days left till the tourney! I'm dying here! >_<;;

True, but if someone makes a call on another player, how're we going to contact the other player if they're not on the forum?

The reason I think the chatroom would be better is because we can have everyone there, make sure everyone IS there, see everything quickly when it happens, analyze it, do what we have to do and move on.

If we go on the forum, stuff will move slower, not everyone will be on there, and we won't see results as fast.

Here's what we should do: Every participant is in the chat. They win/lose and post any immediate remarks in the chat. If something is suspicious, judges investigate. The match results and Battle Video number (if any) will go in a thread showcasing results of the tourney so far. Then we continue.

It sounds complicated, but it's most likely the best way to get everything taken care of all at once.

I found the best solution. All the important stuff (winners, battle video numbers, YouTube video IDs, cheater announcements) will be posted on the forum. However, Wednesday (25th), I'll be installing a new chatroom that is integrated with the forum and contains a nice unlimited archive feature. Problem solved.

hmmm not to nit pick, but im still curious as to how the whole first brackets are gonna be played out in a day. It just seems disorganized to fight the guy your up against, post the battle video, hurry up and find the next guy you'll fight and repeat all over again while 64 other people are doing the same. It just seems a like it will be a little hectic. .-.

I know it will be hectic, so we'll try not to rush it. The only problem is when the "Please give me five hours. My DS is at my mom's" posts start appearing.

Unless I can use PBR to battle in the tournament, I'm going to have to drop out because i lost my Diamond and i lost everything i worked. So if i still can use PBR then i'll be fine.

PBR is fine. The only problem is not everybody has it. If you go up against somebody without it, that's kind of a bad thing. I'm still not sure how that's gonna play out...

I've forseen three problems since the whole tourney idea started:
- People with only PBR vs. people with only DPPHgSs (probably the main problem)
- Disconnectors
- Those who forget their DS, lose their game, or leave their Pokémon with a friend

Yes, I'm against Ice.

If he knows what he's doing and his team is halfway decent, he'll beat me. Incidently, I'll bet you can't guess what one of my team members is.

Hmmm how bought this.

If the last pokemon both faint from a move like explosion/self destruct, the team that used it loses.

If the pokemon both faint to a whether effect, the one that started the whether effect is the winner.

If they die to something like life orb or toxic or burn the one that goes down first loses. That sound good? o3o

I also have to wonder....is there any specific time everyone can meet up in the chatroom for the tourney? =3=
