The Heroscapers Pokemon Tourney thread

[Kaiser Cat]

Bump. How should we structure the tourney?

[DrAwsm]

I've always preferred the branch-style.

Well, I'll be dropping out then. I just got my schedule and I have Large Group Band Contest on Saturday the 7th. And I work the weekend after that. Good luck to all.

[Kaiser Cat]

And another thing. Can we get some definitive confirmations as to who is and is not going?

[DrAwsm]

I plan on going at the moment. I just hope nothing sudden comes up.

[Kaiser Cat]

Bump. The last thing we need to know is what the prizes will be, though it sounds like a lot of people want Deino eggs, which I can make a lot of.

Update: My training is coming along very slowly. I'm still on my first Pokemon. T_T

With just a week left to finish this one, plus five more (at least two if we're doing Flat Battle), I don't know if I'll get it accomplished. We *could* always push the date back a little further, but I don't want to make everybody wait even longer because I'm lazy.

I plan on joining, but how do I get someone else's pal-pad number?

Go to the Pal Pad in key items.

Guys, if this happens, I think Swift Swim and Drizzle on the same team should DEFINITELY be banned. I've fought so many Swift Swim + Drizzle teams on Pokemon Online and it's ridiculous. It's nigh impossible to win against them.

This would actually benefit me a lot- I have a big exam scheduled just around the time of the tourney. The exam won't affect my participation in the tourney, and the tourney (probably) won't affect my grade on the exam, but for all intents and purposes, it's less stressful to space the two out.

I'm inclined to avoid complicated bans for the sake of making the tourney as accessible and easy to understand as possible. If we get all ban-happy, all of a sudden it'll be a pain to check teams to make sure they follow the rules, etc., and that tends to drive people away.

On a similar note, there's a loss of honor that comes with using such an overpowering tactic. Yes, you'll absolutely destroy, but you probably won't have any fun doing it, and we aren't doing this to prove anyone's dominance.

(I also doubt that anyone has been abusing the Dream World enough to have unlocked the only legal Drizzle user, Politoed. I mean, I don't even know how to check how many Dream World points I have, let alone where I can find a Poliwag.)

I'd like to throw in a vote for pushing back the tournament. Pleeeeaasse?
