VGFacts-Pokemon Showdown Tournament

VGFacts Pokemon Showdown Tournament!


Ladies and Gentlemen! Hello and welcome to the first VGFacts Pokemon Showdown Tournament!

Pokemon Showdown has been discussed in a thread here recently, and it has been decided that a tournament would be super-duper cool. The site allows you to set up Pokemon battles with a custom team and play with friends. With this tournament we will decide who is VGFacts' Pokemon master!

------------------------------


The format will be as follows.

-This will be a single elimination tournament. This means that you have to win your match to advance to the next tier.

-This will be a single battle tournament.

-On round of matches will be played every week. However this is subject to change should the number of trainers get too high for this to be viable.

-Trainers will use the same team for all matches. The teams will be posted here before the tournament begins.

-Trainers will be responsible for organising their own matches on the official Pokemon Showdown server. Once the match has been resolved both trainers should send me the result in a PM. The brackets can then be updated for the next week.

-Trainers should feel free to post the planned time of their battle in this thread so people can spectate if they wish to.

-If a trainer believes that his partner has cheated, he should send me a PM with evidence in the form of a screenshot of the offence. This will then be evaluated and, if necessary the cheater will be disqualified.

------------------------------


The tournament will be using a modified set of rules from the Pokémon VGC 2012. These are as follows.

-The following Pokémon are completely banned from use in the tournament: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groundon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys (all forms), Dialga, Palkia, Giratina (all forms), Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin (all forms), Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem.

-No two Pokemon can have the same nickname.

-Pokemon cannot be nicknamed with the name of other Pokemon

-The player automatically loses if his last Pokémon uses Selfdestruct or Explosion. Destiny Bond and Perish Song also fail when used by the last Pokémon.

-Each Pokémon on a player's team must be of different species or National Pokédex number.

-Each Pokémon on a player's team must be holding different items.

-No Pokemon may be above level 50.

------------------------------


So for those who are interested, send me a PM with your full chosen team (Including Pokemon, moves known, and items) according to the above rules. The tournament will be mostly for fun, so don't be afraid to enter if you don't have any experience.

Good luck, and lets discover who can be the very best!
