THE PRISM TOWER IS ALIGHT WITH PRAISE FOR THE NEW UNDEFEATED CHAMPION OF GBATEMP
ShinyLatios !!!

This brings this 1st tourny to a close, thanks all for entering and please be sure to turn up again towards December for the next one!
 
Was very busy last tournament with school, and my internet kept dropping out. Next tournament I'll do anything it takes to be able to compete and show my team.
 
I'm hoping the next tournament is singles rather than doubles. I've just spent the last 2 weeks breeding and training my singles team, it would suck in multi battles though.

Really? Double/Triple battles are much more fun for me than 1v1s. I really with there were more D/T battles in the game normally, would be so much fun.


I personally prefer doubles as with singles, if you throw out the wrong pokemon 1st, that can be your game done before it even begins
Also things like speed boost blaziken and basically speed altogether becomes alot more of a deep issue.

But honestly its up to you all, I feel doubles is the most balanced but singles can be done if you want it
 
I think it'd be better if there was a tournament committee.
5 people total. 1 for singles, 1 for doubles, 1 for triple, 1 for rotation and 1 for overall. I think it'd be Black-Ice that's overall, and maybe the Elite Four being the other 4 if they want to.

Black-Ice, this way you won't need to handle all the regulation on your own ^_^
Maybe even tournaments every half-quarter, like a Winter Cup and Summer Cup.

EDIT:
I meant bi-annually XD, not half-quarter.

This is probably more the case in 3v3 singles matches, where it can come down to luck if you pick the right 3 pokemon to send in, but in 6v6 this is definitely not the case. If you go into a 6v6 match with 6 fast sweepers a decent player will beat you 90% of the time. Not giving too much away but I have only got 2 fast sweepers in my new team and I have won all of the 15 or so matches I have played so far online. (I'm always up for a battle btw if anybody reading this wants one!)

Obviously I would prefer it if were a singles tournament, but if more people would like a doubles tournament I will go along with that. I would need a couple of weeks notice though so I can build a purpose built doubles team. In fact I might just build one anyway, just in case.

well, not just def/sp.def stats...the choice of move sets.

i was surprised participants did not run teams with protect, wide guard, etc in a double battle tournament.

also...it seems that the majority opted out of trick room for speed and choice scarfs.

everyone did great with the teams they used...but i believe, in the next GBATemp double tournament, entrants will have more concrete planning with their team.

I've made so much changes, believe it

Its most likely gonna be singles as its what most of ya want.
I never build too heavily around one battle type but I play alot of doubles so i guess i'll need to look at my teams moves sets again for singles :gba:
