GBAtemp Tournament Week - Pokemon Showdown

pokemon-showdown-logo-png-7.png

Do you wanna be the very best, like no one ever was? Because we're hosting a Pokemon Showdown tournament! Join us to see which one of us is the greatest Pokemon Master, in our National Dex "Anything Goes" cup. In this mode, you can bring in any Pokemon you want, even legendaries/ubers--so long as it's a Pokemon, it's viable--no dex cuts here! There'll also be Z Moves, Dynamax, and Mega Evolutions as well, because we wanna see some crazy fights! The matches will be 6v6 single battles, and you'll need to make sure your team is ready prior to the tournament. Let us know if you're ready to take on the GBAtemp Pokemon League, which kicks off April 1st at 12pm CDT. If you're confused about timezones still, that's 1pm EDT, 5pm GMT, 4am ACT, or 7pm CET. Don't forget to post your Showdown username as well! You'll be playing for a grand prize of a $25 giftcard.

More details on the ruleset are available here. For those that want some team ideas, check this out.

When the tournament does kick off, we'll be posting a Challonge bracket so everyone can see the results as they come in. In addition, if you're competing, please make sure to save a replay and share it in this thread, so we can verify the winner of each round.

Good luck, everyone!

Righty we'll kick this off! Because of the awkward number of participants, a good chunk of you have byes to round two. To keep things a little fairer, I've forced all staff participating into Round 1 so you, the common member, have the greatest chance to prevail.

The bracket for R1 is shown above, but I'll tag people just to make it easier.

Me (Lion Man Costello) vs @Chary (Chary)
@RustInPeace (SevenChurches) vs @MarcusCarter (MarcusCarter)
@relauby (relauby) vs @Ericzander (Ericzander)

Happy hunting, and be sure to keep replays for each match!

As something I just want to clarify too, it's entirely fine to tweak teams between different battles, or bring entirely different teams for each round. Otherwise the people who in R1 are at a total disadvantage lol
