With the release of new EV training and breeding mechanics in X and Y, it seems like many members are experimenting with competitive battling for the first time. This tournament should help introduce people to the metagame and accustom old battlers to the technical changes made this generation.
Battles will be 6v6 singles. General rules include:
Spoiler!
6th gen legendaries and 5th gen Ubers (http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/uber) except for Blaziken and Excadrill are not allowed. Everything else goes. Matches in the first round of the tournament can be done whenever the two participants are ready. I haven't decided on a deadline for the first round but I definitely want to give at least a few weeks for people to make teams. Make sure you save your battles with the VS Recorder. Hopefully we can get someone to capture and upload the best videos to YouTube, and maybe even have the participants add commentary to their video. Post here if you're interested in joining. Include your time zone so I can match people up more conveniently. The first 16 people to post will be in the tournament for sure, but with enough people we can have 32 participants. EDIT: The starting date for the tournament is November 15. EDIT: The tournament will be double elimination, which means you have to lose twice to be eliminated. Here's the first round:
Spoiler!

I'd participate, my timezone is EST. I just spent forever after I got to the daycare place trying to get a decent team (37 hours in, still don't have 2nd gym badge haha). It's probably not great, but at least I did all the supertraining while they were level 1. Completely new to pokemon PvP, first game since Crystal and it definitely wasn't as easy to find opponents back then.
![]() I am certain I'll be ready within a few weeks. |

I'm fine with not allowing Blaziken; I just didn't want people who have already trained one and planned on using it to not be allowed to. |

I wish I had this game.
I'll be on the sides cheering for everyone, so if you could either update the OP with the battle results and matchups or post them, that'd be great

Is Yveltal allowed? It is allowed in the Battle Spot and its stats are not bigger than those of a Mega Evolution

Yeah I've been super training my Mawile all day. Not because it's hard but it just bores me. I super trained my larvesta last night. Hopefully I can get snorlax done tomorrow. I hope all of this is worth it

Looks like I chose a good time to start posting. I'll sign up. I'm in the central timezone.
Also, I don't really get the banlist. The only available 5th gen Uber besides Blaziken is Excadrill, and there were quite a few new counters for him this gen. It's not really a problem for me as he isn't in my current team, but still. Last edited by Rage; 11-12-2013 at 04:21 AM. |

I have an idea why don't each person that wins must receive a 5 Iv's pokemon from its opponent? If there are none 5 Ivs then soft sand or something..

You're right I guess there'll be many starters, but It would be cool if each gives something to the winner, either and item like heart scale or a pokemon

I'll answer everyone's questions in this post.
The first round will last from November 15 to November 18. Coordinate a time to battle with your opponent. I matched people by time zone so it should be easy to find a time that works for you and your opponent. Let me know if your opponent doesn't respond so I can replace them with skylar2010. After that you'll automatically win if your opponent doesn't show. If you think your opponent broke any of the rules, save the battle video, upload it online and send me the code. Rule breakers will be disqualified. You can switch your team at any point in the tournament. |

If you lose a match in the current bracket you'll be moved into another bracket, typically called the loser's bracket, and continue to compete until you either reach the final or lose again. After your loss in the loser's bracket you're out of the tournament.

Crap! Not that I'm worried about getting caught cheating, just that I haven't...finished...the game....yet. Probably idiotic of me joining this tourney but I like battling even though there's 100% chance of me losing, and there isn't anything on the first post saying you have to complete the game.... is there? Well I got like 3 teams ready and I just need one more gym badge.

Okay, so our match got disconnected during the middle of the match. I have 5 and he had 4 left. How should we handle the situation? I had 2 layers of spikes on my side, though.

Here's the updated bracket:
Spoiler!
As you can see there's a lot of gaps. Some of you may not have matches for the second round. By the third round we should be full though. The second round starts the 18th and ends the 20th. Finish up your first round battles if you haven't yet, then move on to the second round. |

Minato told me he and Smeaxy would be battling today, so Blitz should have a battle soon. |

Eh, I think luck was mostly on my side. Things could have ended up very differently if I didn't paralyze one of your Pokemon amongst other things. Though they do say battles are 50% hax. :I
I'll post the battle later unless Tekka wants to do it. I have to go to school. |

With a self-imposed handicap like that, it hardly feels close. Feels like you took me lightly. At the end it all came down to speed.
In any case, well played. For all you snoops, here is the battle code. NXAG-WWWW-WWW3-3WW5

Edit: I'm really confused, I don't remember battling anyone except a passerby with a japanese name and one of my friends I made in game. I've been saving my battle video's for the tournament and see nothing. Oh crap, is your in game name Alex? I just looked though my friends and saw two with that name. And I battled one of them. I wasn't expecting a tournament battle.
