As I proposed in the metagame thread, a tournament between the members of this forum could be fun and productive. Basically, the battles would be done on the Pokémon Online simulator (available for download at www.pokemon-online.eu ), be OverUsed (no Ubers) and follow the standard clauses of metagame battling, which are Sleep, Freeze, OHKO, Evasion and Species. In terms of what is Uber, we'll need to agree on a list, but basically I think these are all that should be banned: Mewtwo Ho-oh Lugia Deoxys (Normal and Attack forms only) Groudon Kyogre Rayquaza Garchomp (by vote) Dialga Palkia Giratina Manaphy Arceus Darkrai Chandelure with Shadow Tag (by vote) Reshiram Zekrom Suggestions for other bans are welcome if you have them. If you're interested in participating, post in this thread and I'll add you to a list. Tournament structure will depend on how many people sign up by May 6, ten days from now. Participants: EDIT: Starting fresh, so new participant list. The old one is crossed out below the most current one.

I'll probably crash and burn early, but sure why not. :<

I guess I'm up for this, though I'm quite inexperienced with competetive battling. The standard clauses of metagame battling, which are Sleep, Freeze, OHKO, Evasion and Species. And you're going to have to explain what this means.

And you're going to have to explain what this means. You have a lot to learn my friend. Sleep - no more than one Pokémon on a team asleep at one time Freeze - same as above but with freeze OHKO - no OHKO moves (Sheer Cold, Fissure, Horn Drill, etc) Evasion - no Double Team or Minimize Species - no same-species repeats on one team (i.e. two Rotom, even if they are different forms; you can have a Dragonair and a Dragonite on the same team though)

Herp. My computer saw that VF ninja'd me and didn't even bother to finish loading my reply.
I'm in, but I think Garchomp and Shadow Tag Chandelure should be banned. I think you already know the arguments for both of them.
But I still feel like mentioning Garchomp ALWAYS sand veil haxes. All ice moves have like, 10% accuracy against Gar in sand for some reason.

Moved to contests because it needs the activity and it is a contest after all.

This sounds fun, but count me out. I used to like ShoddyBattle, but I stopped playing online after Comnurmi completely destroyed me about ten times in a row. That made me realize that competitive battling is not for me.
Tell me how the battles went after this is over.

It's just a bit of fun.

Winning isn't everything. It's about the journey, not the destination Which is especially true since I don't think anyone here runs stall teams... which tend make the journey crappy.

This will be done wherever, though Mysidia server is best spot since I am a moderator there and could also get us attention... Not through advertising P-X, which is against the rules of any server, but by just announcing the battles. XD
Also, Mr. Ponies, let's hold a vote.
Who wants Garchomp banned from tournament? Who wants Shadow Tag Chandelure banned from tournament?
My votes...
Garchomp - no ban, ST Chandelure - ban
