Misc IT'S TIME: The February Pokemon X&Y Tourney!

[DarkStriker]

Victini on a trick room team can result in a quick Uber-level sweep. Also, Entei gets Sacred Fire by level up now. The other dogs are still lower, but Sacred Fire is tactical-nuke worthy, due to its 50% chance of burning, resulting in possibly shutting down a team or resulting a stall, depending on who or what it's used on.

Entei has a darn small movepool being easily predicted what he run. Having SR weakeness pretty much requires it to run a rapid spinner in his team, or else risking not even doing anything before dropping dead. I did forget about trick room victini but he wasnt usually the issue, but since you basically banned every way to stop him effectively, its understandable.
Why don't you just simply limit it to KALOS obtainable only pokemon? That easily removes most of the pokemon you dont seem to want here. And tbh Aegislash is way harder to stop than Rotom-W as Rotom-W has more counters compared to Aegislash who only Mandibuzz is the most troublesome shit to ever get past.

You do seem to have banned some pretty harmless OU pokemon. This doesn't really bother me but maybe you should think about it again. It's up to you really and if you think it's ok this way then go ahead and start the tourney.

Also, I suggest this list if you DO want to change some stuff:

Spoiler: Possible ban list?

Arceus (All)
Blaziken
Darkrai
Deoxys (All)
Dialga
Genesect
Giratina (All)
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Kyurem (All)
Lugia
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Reshiram
Shaymin-S
Xerneas
Yveltal
Zekrom

I wouldn't exactly say they are harmless as when i played B/W, we pretty much had other pokemon which could do the same and/or better with less support. But his list is simply "I don't want any non kalos pokemon". And i still feel like Rotom-W is very unnecessary ban still. As i pointed earlier that Aegislash is much more threat having the ability to run 4 difference moveset and being very unpredictable, causing him to only have 1 true counter while most of the other pokemon could only check him with the risk of him starting to mow your team down.

Awesome, I am happy to see another member here start up a pokemon tournament !!

Though you may want to touch up your OP...take a look at this topic :

It appears sign-ups end on the 23rd...does this tournament start on the 23rd ?

* good luck everyone *

If you'd like, I can record the top say 4 fights with my capture card so you guys can have some videos to show off of the tourneys. Just offering.

[Black-Ice]

Yeah, but only if it's against a differebt person. If you are in the middle of doing a 2/3, you must stick with the same team.

is this tournament happening?

 

[Thanatos Telos]

Yeah. I'll edit the OP when I'm home.

Not sure if you noticed my previous post...but it would help if the tournament pairing are in the OP.

It's February 25th, two days after the closing of entrants to this tournament, the participants need some feedback from you.

Did you need help running this tournament ?

 

[Thanatos Telos]

Signups closed, OP updated, matches to be posted on the 28th.

 

[breaktemp]

Hmm...thanks for updating the OP, but why not post the pairings up now and set a deadline for the results ?

* also it will be helpful if everyone's 3DS-Friend Code is made available in the OP *

 

[Jiehfeng]

This is not going so great...

 

[breaktemp]

I really would have liked to wait before starting up the doubles tournament...but with the host being this inactive I think i'll go ahead and get started.

Thanatos's OP clearly states that the info on the tourny will be announced on the 28th
Its still the 27th

Cmon dude, don't gatecrash someone else's tournament.

 

[breaktemp]

Black-Ice

not "gatecrashing" just putting my info up.

* I had already planned on hosting a doubles tournament in March *

the "February" singles tournament start date continues to get pushed back...I see no harm in announcing my tournament now.
