Wow that's early... it's a good thing Super Training is the only thing that matters. This sounds like a fantastic idea, other than the fact that it'd be reeeaaally difficult obtaining specifics without transfer.
Sylveon is most definitely Gen VI and only Gen VI, I don't understand how an exception could be made at all |

Hey, it's gotta be before the Bank alters the current games, so I figured it might be cool to try something using only these two.
Given only a month, some folks might try to argue a Pokémon as being in a different generation because a previous form was. |

I like the sound of that. Most gimmick tournaments I've tried in the past really never took off, but this one definitely has promise. As it is, I had another idea for one percolating in my head today, so that could possibly be that second one, but it's a secret for the time being~

No, because you have to send out Aggron itself before it becomes Mega Aggron. It might not even use mega evolution at all, just to screw around. Alternate formes don't alter the generation of the Pokemon, only static evolution.

This sounds pretty interesting. I have been going nuts over X and Y for the last couple of days and would be very willing to make a team for a tourney like this. Being able to battle before the release of the Pokemon Bank definitely has a nice ring to it.

I'm all for it, it's just that December is a busy time of me. The whole winter is. Lol screw that, more like the whole year cause of wrestling. But anyways, i'll be excited to watch the Battle Videos and what not, maybe if I'm free I'll participate. But it's gonna be a burden to get my team ready so.. We'll see.

I'm so excited I've been building a team for hours. Even though I've wanted to do this forever the new Fairy type is throwing me sideways. And I don't see why Mega Evolutions should be banned, they were implemented to give battling an edge. It would be such a waste to ban them.

Blaziken is definitely über. There's no question about that. Coupling that with its Mega Stone puts it up there with annoying Pokémon like Palkia.
And yes, all übers from Gen V will likely be banned unless someone can provide solid reasoning why particular ones shouldn't. I think all of our tournaments have banned them, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise. List here: http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/uber Frankly, how many of those guys even exist in X/Y right now?

I like the idea of this, we'll have a ton of variety to choose from.
A tournament idea I had was a Wonder Trade Cup. You put 6 Pokémon up for Wonder trade and you use whatever you receive for the battles; without EV training or changing the moves that the Pokémon has. It involves luck, but I think it would be fun. |

Alright, I'm going to make this thing official. We need to figure out the rules though.
Major questions that need to be answered:
Please discuss. |

With Mega Evolutions...I'm going to say only 1 Mega Evolution allowed per team. Item clause....I think everything should be limited to just 1 except for Leftovers. I agree with Evasion clause being banned as well as Sleep clause. Freeze clause though....you can't really do anything about that; I normally ignore that clause. I think anything part of Uber should be banned. Dunno if the tier includes Xerneas, Yveltal, or that third legendary, but I would consider them banned. Wobbuffet is only BL, so I think he should be allowed. Blaziken and Mega Blaziken should be banned. Moxie shouldn't be banned. I don't see why it should be- unless there was recently a new rule banning it from competitive play. Brightpowder along with ANY hax item should be banned. |

Question about the 1 per generation on a team rule. Would weavile considered as a 5th gen poke or 4th gen do to sneasle? Also can garchomp be used as i dont think rough skin as been found in X&Y for him that i know of, but sandveil will be used do to that. But i think auto-weather wont break its ability that bad do to the 5 turns thing with auto-weathet. (kinda like using the sandstorm move)

It should most certainly be Singles, it's natural and relaxed.
I don't know why Freeze Clause is a thing, it's uncontrollable. The version mascots are generally regarded as Uber, and they're the only new legendary Pokemon in this gen. The game itself only allows 1 Mega Evolution per team, dummy I don't think they should be banned, they're relatively balanced in that it's just a forme change. Weavile is definitely 4th Gen. Always has been, always will be. Garchomp isn't invincible like Mega Blaziken can be (giving it Power-Up Punch is unfair), so it's not too bad.

So when does this start then? Can pokemon from friend safari be used? Like say like hitmonlee or blissey?
So will sandveil and other abilitys that would boost evade be banned as well? One last question, will Drizzle and swiftswim combo be used as the weather acts like raindance now with that 5 turn limit? |

Drizzle + Swift Swim will likely remain banned for this tournament. Friend Safari Pokémon are certainly eligible as long as you meet the requirement of one Pokémon from each generation without reusing the same evolutionary line. As for other banned abilities...I don't know.

Smogon recently announced Blaziken as an Uber.
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads...nlist.3491371/ So are we still going to be able to use Blaziken or not? |

I'm interested. I'm super pumped, becauseI received a Pokémon I was hoping to use on my team over Wonder Trade. With 5 perfect IVs and a great nature... Again, so pumped! It hope it can be in the evening (central time) because I work from 10-6... ;<

Oh, can I still join? I wanna join!
What about sleep? I just lost online because some punk put 2 of my Pokemon to sleep with Chlorophyll Venusaur. -_- I could go for Doubles, but Singles is fine. Blaziken with Blaze isn't a problem, actually. Can't Baton Pass crazy stats and can't outspeed the majority of the OU metagame after a speed boost considering it has Speed Boost. If psuedo-legandaries are allowed, then I don't see why the 3 birds can't be in. Edit: Since you said Gallade is part of the Ralts evolution line, does that mean it's considered 3rd gen or 4th?

Gallade is a Pokémon that originates from 4th Gen, so that's what it is. But it comes from the Ralts evolutionary line, so Gardevoir couldn't be your Gen III representative. |

The fact that Sleep Clause is on isn't necessarily a good thing any more.
Sleep isn't as powerful as it once was, receiving two consecutive nerfs in generations, it now only lasts 1-3 turns and the amount of turns that you've been asleep is now saved when switching out, making it so it doesn't reset upon switch-out. What's more is that since sleep clause's creation, there are many new abilities and attacks that can combat sleep. There's a reason why Game Freak does not enforce it any more. |

Yup, my heart stopped. That was more exciting than any Champion, BattleFrontier, or Stadium battle I've ever had.
Kakashi-sensei, it was an honor. It literally came down to the wire, but I somehow managed to pull through. Kakashi, you're one heck of a trainer. Kudos U7VG WWWW WWW3 E62L |
