Its Tourney Time!

[DarkestLight]

Well - The fans wanted it, and we've brung it to you.

Simply put, this is the registration portion for our Mono Tournament! Few simple rules to abide by and we'll be on our way.

Signups start today, and last until May 27th. This way, if you do not have the points needed to partake, you can quickly finish up those battles and rack them in (see my reasoning to want ya'll to get yer bank totals in now?).

1) The Tournament costs 3 points to register for, so that goes into the pot. I personally will be throwing in a undisclosed amount of points into the pot - to sweeten the deal since I will not be participating. (This is a clause however...as if there is an uneven number of registered participants - like 7 instead of 8- then I'll jump in to complete a full bracket. [[Clause activated]])

2) This is a Mono-Tournament. Meaning that everyone will have to pick their Pokemon based on Type. Yes, dual types are allowed, so you can have your all-Bug team is you wish. You can have a maximum of 4 Pokemon on your team. Note that when you register, you cannot change the amount of Pokemon on your team.

3) Once registered, we will see how many rounds the Tournament Bracket can sustain. Once that is evaluated, we will have theme rounds. The rounds will be announced during the pair-ups, so you never know what you are going to get! All battles are 2 vs 2!!

4) Now. If you do not have a Pokemon that fits the round's theme-you can borrow one, but it'll cost you ~_n(No more free -ninety-free!!) 1 point for first stage, 2 points for second stage, 3 points for third stage. This all goes to the pot and you have to buy one within your type. We will set up a borrowing system so some higher folks can loan out their team to smaller team members if it works out that way.

There will be prize money for the Champion and the Runner Up, and maybe a Trophy (Whoever thinks they can whip one up, that'd be awesome)

ALSO. DQ TIME LIMIT OF 5 DAYS PER MATCH >> We're not gonna have ourselves a 4 month ordeal where people vanish. Losers of matches get the points as if in a regular battle.

5) I have been alerted that there are many folks who wish to join, but to not quite have the financial stability to enter-but with to participate. Fine. To help alleviate this, MLG and I have come up with a loaning system.

Whomever currently has registered for the Tournament (sans me, since I'm a wild card)-and has already picked their team-and has over 20 Pokemon is eligible to loan out Pokemon of any type except the type they are using. The loan points go to the pot, not to the person loaning-so this is not particularly advantageous to someone's point total-but more of a show of good sportsmanship. You all are under NO obligation to loan out Pokemon for this Tournament, so don't feel bad if you don't want to. You can loan out as many as you wish-granted you have a Pokemon/type that someone needs.

Now, as an added incentive, I personally will pay the entrance fee for anyone that has 6 points or less-so you can use your points to acquire a team. The catch: You must register at least one of your own Pokemon, therefore that allows you enough points to make it through at least one round of this event. :p.

Point: Non Evo Pokemon cost 3 points. That's their final form :o


Keep checking this OP. Rules will be added and modified as needed until 5/26.

16 combatants! Full Bracket!!

Everyone look at the update in the first post. There's a loaning system now.

[Greyfox]

Blade, I've got an entire squad of steel-types you could borrow if you wanted -- Lairon, Lucario, Magnezone, Metagross, and (even though I'm using her) Empoleon.

Oslo, would you like to rent out my Cacturne?

[Ayeun]

Oslo, you can rent my Umbreon if you wish.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Dark pokemon I have to offer are: Tyranitar, Weavile, Houndour, Poochyena Carnavha and Absol.

[Ayeun]

4) Now. If you do not have a Pokemon that fits the round's theme-you can borrow one, but it'll cost you ~_n(No more free -ninety-free!!) 1 point for first stage, 2 points for second stage, 3 points for third stage. This all goes to the pot and you have to buy one within your type. We will set up a borrowing system so some higher folks can loan out their team to smaller team members if it works out that way.

What do the loanee's get?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Nothing. Just 100% respect *grin*

Also Blade: Skarmory, Shiny Aggron, Steelix, Scizor and Empoleon (I'm using my Bronzong).

[Ayeun]

Ok, another question...

If I loan one of my pokemon out, does that count as battle ex if I want to evolve it?

[DarkestLight]

Yes. Prolly the only time this will happen, but yeah, it does count toward EXP.

[Oslo]

Aww, thanks, guys. :) I think I'll wait until I can see some of the match themes before choosing. This will be fuuuun.

[Rossymore]

Alright then, I'll use my three psychic Pokemon...anyone got a psychic they're not using?

(Am I quite sure I want to use Wobbuffet???)

[Knight of Time]

I have a bunch of Psychic types if you want to use one or more of them, Rossymore. You're welcome to use my Metagross if you wish, I named "him" The Ultimate Computer (T.U.C. for short).

[Dogfish44]

Seeing as I'll probably be away for a period of time for the tourney, all my Pokémon will be available for renting.
I hope there will be a second tourney though ^_^;;
(Rossy, what is the issue with wobba? Him + Luna + Espeon + Metang makes 4, and assuming you don't like Wobba feel free to use GRUMPYPIG, my male grumpig)

[Rossymore]

Knight: I'm gonna use Metang, so a Metagross would be a bit much.

Dogfish: Ooh, a Grumpig seems tempting. I'll have that thanks! And Lunatone...oh yeah. That makes four.

[Wolfsong]

i'm tempted to enter but i have to wait until one of my matches ends so that i can have some points *sighs*

[Rossymore]

Okay, now I have all the Pokemon I need!

[DarkestLight]

dabsaww. I want you in this Tourney.

Wverything looked good, except the fact that you missed the pricing for loaning Pokemon.

Its 3 points to get in the Tourney, you got that right.
But if you are using other peoples Pokemon, its
1 pt per first stage
2 points per second form
and 3 per final form.

Since you borrowed two second forms, you'd owe the pot 4 points. However, since you had under 6 points to start with, I'll pay your entrance fee, and all you have to do is edit your bank post saying you gave 4 to the Tourney, alright?

Wolfy, this applies to you (and anyone under 6 points). I will pay the entrance fee for anyone under 6 points, they just have to register their Pokemon by TOMORROW!

Knight: I'm gonna use Metang, so a Metagross would be a bit much.

Alright Rossymore, but don't blame me if you get defeated in one of your battles (or if you couldn't afford the cash to borrow T.U.C.). Using Pokemon that haven't fully evolved can be more of a challenge, but then again, if you use them to deliver an upset to someone packing fully evolved Pokemon, then that's something.

[DarkestLight]

I dunno. Metang is just about as versatile as Metagross. I think he'll be fine.

(IMO, I think KOT's just smack talking ya. Don't take that! :P)

[Wolfsong]

Wolfy, this applies to you (and anyone under 6 points). I will pay the entrance fee for anyone under 6 points, they just have to register their Pokemon by TOMORROW!

Ever heard of David vs Goliath, DarkestLight? That was my hidden reference in my last post (if someone can defeat a team of evolved Pokemon using unevolved Pokemon, that's a big accomplishment in itself).

I wonder who is going to come up with a Fighting-type team? Not that I'd not want to see one, but that's about the only thing that could give me a run for my money in this tournament, being Normal's only weakness. Then again, my Normal types can hold their own against Fighting types.

[DarkestLight]

Oh. Yeah. And I root for David XD

[Ayeun]

So... How is this going to go down?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

So far we got:

Psychic (twice)
Water
Normal
Grass
Ground (twice)
Flying
Dark
Dragon
Ice
Electric

That's ten out of seventeen types, not to shabby eh?

Still, I got loads of steel and rock pokemon people can pick from (and those types haven't been used yet).

Also, if the points/payment/loans are bothering you, don't forget that I'm a nice guy and summer tree is coming up..

[DarkestLight]

Ok. When I get home from work, I'll set up the bracket and the rules and the first theme match. Speaking of...anyone talk to UC? I am surprised he didn't jump on this.

Ye, signups continue until I get home. So you got 8/9 hours. Ten types is fantastic too...

[Ultimate Charizard]

Id like to enter but im heading out soon for the weekend. When is this due to start? Im not back till Monday.

[Oslo]

Queeestion... does the regular four-match limit apply to the tournament as well? Since I'm in four matches that are plodding along and likely won't be completed within the next week, am I going to have to forfeit one of them?

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

No, that's extra baby!

[Blademaster]

One last question before I join or not.

Renting Pokemon from other members of ASB... How much is that? Three points per Pokemon, or 3 points in total?

[Dogfish44]

1 point for first stage.
2 for second stage.
3rd for final stage


(So My Torkoal would be 1 point, whilst Rawk Hawk would be 3 points)

[DarkestLight]

UC: I want the signups to be done to--night by the time I get back from doing some other stuff. The Tournament will be set up over Memorial Day weekend, I don't expect much activity around since everyone'll most likely be out chilling. By Monday, all things will be fully set up and battles will begin, so yeah.

[Knight of Time]

Heads up, if anyone wishes to build a Poison type team to use, I just got a Nidoqueen and Nidoking added to my team (they aren't in my banner for now). But then again, we don't need at least one team of every type here, right?

[Charles Legend]

Small note Lyra is now a Jynx....:peek:

~Charles Legend

[Ultimate Charizard]

Ill sort out my payment soon and yeah, im gonna go with the Poison team.

Gengar (f), Venusaur (m), Croagunk (m), Stunky(m)

Will sort bank posts out soon. And im more than willing to loan out my Pokemon should anyone need them. I got lots of varied types.

[Mike Mysterio]

Hell I'm in, Here (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showpost.php?p=453193&postcount=209) is my payment, and I'm useing Fighting Types.

Goku (shiny male Infernape), Logen (male Lucario), Ryu (male Primeape), and Abe (shiny male Toxicroak).

[Knight of Time]

x_x me and my big mouth...well, if I end up fighting you with my Normal types, Mike Mysterio, know that I won't go down without a fight!

[Oslo]

*smacks KoT with a raw herring* Gee, nice going there! You're not the only one who was crossing his fingers that nobody joined with Fighting types! ;)

My poor Darkies. D:

[Knight of Time]

Oslo, as long as you have the skill, you can overcome a type disadvantage, it's certainly possible, if the situation arises.

But I never said I was hoping no Fighting types were going to be in this, I just wanted to be sure I'd be ready for them, incase I ended up against a Fighting type team with my Normal type team. You have to be ready for anything, not just in this tournament, but in both regular battles and gym battles, you'd be surprised how many curve balls are thrown here.

[Oslo]

Naw, I jest. ;) The fact that all of my Darkies can learn offensive Psychic-type moves makes the whole advantage/disadvantage thing kind of moot, anyway.

[Ayeun]

Ok, this has to be closed now. Lets start so some of us can get our arses handed to us multiple times.

[DarkestLight]

Alright. Looks like all submissions are in. UC -just remember to post your bank stuff. I do kinda wish we had ONE more person enter, then it would not have been such a weird tourney.

Alright. You've all been assigned random numbers by me. As such, all you'll need to do is see where you are on the Bracket, and find your opponent, and battle them. Post Tournament Battles here in the Tournament Section with a [T] in the title, so I know they aren't some random misplaced thread.

Remember. These are all 2 on 2 battles. The first theme for this Mono tourney is....well I'll post that later. As well as the bracket. There's still 20 min left...enough time for me to MAKE said bracket...

EDIT: Wow...MS Paint, if I had the patience, I'da did a better job.


Bracket up. Theme to be posted Sunday, so don't go battling all willy nilly. Give everyone a chance to relax this weekend...Or you know what. Even better. I know what I'm gonna do...mwahaha.

[Blademaster]

Fell asleep. Missed the deadline. Fuck me.

Melg, my money is riding on you. DON'T fuck up!

[DarkestLight]

FUCKER!. Blades in as well-i was waiting on him. submit your team, jackass. That makes 15..soo now ill join and we got ourselves 16! yay! bracket edit will be posted later with all competitors.

EDIT: Wow, posting from my phone is aggravating. Alright. Bracket will be completely filled in later today.

[Blademaster]

1 point for first stage.
2 for second stage.
3rd for final stage


(So My Torkoal would be 1 point, whilst Rawk Hawk would be 3 points)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiRJmfNM8RE#t=0m17s

ANYWAY, my payment for the tournament is here (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?p=453451&posted=1#post453451); I'm gonna use NOT a Steel team, but a Fire team.

My team will consist of the following:

1. Rawk Hawk, my Blaziken (M) - Blaze Ability,
2. Selphie, CT's Magmar(F) - Flame Body Ability,
3. Baskerville, Asi's Houndour(M) - Early Bird Ability, and finally
4. UC's nameless Charizard(M) - Blaze Ability.


Let's do this. :hellyeah:

[DarkestLight]

Alright. Instead of using the OP, I'm using this post. Since its Memorial Day weekend, I figure the Tournament can start on Monday. So take some time, relax, detox from computers-cause when this starts, oh its starting HARD! Smack talk is accepted in all forms.


This is a Single Elimination Tournament!

To reprise the rules so you don't have to look for them:
1) All battles are 2 vs 2
2) Each battle round has a theme, which the ref's will adhere to.
3) Upon completion of a match, the winner and loser get points as if for a normal battle. The Winner can then trade Pokemon out. If they trade a Pokemon out for one on their team, its no cost. If its to get another Pokemon from someone else, then the cost is as follows
1 pt for First Form.
2 pt for Second Stage
3 pt for Final form and Non Evo's.
All these points go to the pot-so yes, the Pot grows until the Championship match.
4) Pokemon with multi forms (Rotom) can be changed at no cost to the user since its still the same Pokemon.
5) For the battles, there are NO Damage Caps, a Strict DQ of 5 days, and the following moves are banned:
Reversal Moves (Counter, Mirror Coat, Bide, Endeavor and Metal Burst)
Non-Damaging healing moves (Recover, Synthesis and the like)


Alright. I paid my fees here (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showpost.php?p=453480&postcount=213). Here's a lil chart for ya, so you can see who's using what.

Ok, sure, but if you miss the deadline, you miss the deadline, 'wanting to join' does not count. Also, I was laughing with the naked dancing shit, I added in some lame humour. And don't boss me around, I hate that. Seriously.

[Blademaster]

It seems that way...

Also, I think I'll stick with 'Charizard.' No Mario name I can come up with matches its badass reputation.

...

...

...Except for maybe 'Czar Dragon'...

[Blademaster]

And don't boss me around, I hate that. Seriously.

OK.

DON'T shut the fuck up.

[Charles Legend]

I'm in favor of letting Bade take part, even if he dancing the chickern dance on a bed of hot coals naked. ;)

First Round of the Tournament!

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll80/HikariMeoru/Round5.jpg

THEME: Water Slide!

Your Pokemon will all be dumped onto a water slide. Yes, the entire battle, you'll be speeding along down an infinity long luge of water-that has many random loops and curls an connective tubes and its just a crazy awesome water park.. While blasting down the waterslide-Fire attacks are 1/4th as effective (because of the torrential amount of water always splashing around...>D). When a Pokemon is defeated, they will be dropped out of the tube and sent to the humongous water pool over to the right. No worries, Fire, Rock and Ground Pokemon do not incur damage from being hit by constant water.


Now GO! All battles must have a [T] next to them and must be posted in the B&T section :D Good luck! The person who's name is on top of the pair bracket will send out first. So, Since MLG fights CEB, MLG sends out first.

Banned Moves for the WHOLE TOURNAMENT: Non Damaging healing Moves, Reversal Moves (Counter, Mirror Coat, Bide, Metal Burst, Recover), Toxic.

Banned Moves for this round: Any physical move that needs external factors to work (eg Rock Slide..)

Earthquake can be used, but you then switch to a different tube system, rather than causing damage.

Winners:
Left side: Elf

Right Side: KOT, DL, Mike, Blade

The right side is Complete! Second Round match up's can begin for those matches!!

The Arena for Round 2 is---Aztec Ruins!

Simple and straightforward, your team will battle another team on these crumbling ruins. There are no hidden traps persay, but if you cause enough collateral damage to the arena, the bridge you are on will crumble beneath your feet and you will land in a tar pit. You can attack from the tar pit, but you will be stuck in the pit until freed. And before you ask....

No the tar pit does not zap health.
No the tar pit does not smother you.
No the tar pit does not burn you.
No you can't dig in and out of the tar pit.

Banned for this round: None aside from the standard Tourney Banned moves.


This one should go over better and give me time to look over Round 3's arena then...

[Rossymore]

Well, this (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20997) match is done and dusted. Mike Mysterio is de vinner.

Don't the refs get anything?

[DarkestLight]

Yeah. Refs get standard points.

[Knight of Time]

I was just thinking of something, if someone borrows a Pokemon from another trainer here, and ends up facing that trainer in one of the battles, are they allowed to use that Pokemon against its trainer?

e.g. For example, if I lent one of my Pokemon to someone, and that person was going to face me, would they be allowed to use my own Pokemon against me?

Edit: Does the second round begin once all the first round battles are over (just like in most major sports league's playoffs)?

[DarkestLight]

As long as it is not of the type you are using, then yes.

[Oslo]

I call dibs on reffing the round two match of DL against KoT. :)

[Rossymore]

Damn, Darkly is one of the few big peeps of asb that I haven't reffed yet.

You and me, Oslo, fight to the death. Whoever wins gets DL's match...and a cookie.

[DarkestLight]

What are you talking about? You've had to have reffed a match I was in....

....maybe not? That's kinda weird. LOL.

[Oslo]

Damn, Darkly is one of the few big peeps of asb that I haven't reffed yet.

You and me, Oslo, fight to the death. Whoever wins gets DL's match...and a cookie.

Cookie? :o This is serious shiz. So will this be decided by digital arm wrestle or staring contest? Or both at the same time?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

While you two are fighting, I will be reffing the match.

[Rossymore]

Curses, foiled again. I knew elves were evil.

Basically, whoever posts first in the match, gets it.

[Blademaster]

I won my match with Charles: http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20994

What do I do now again?

[Oslo]

Well, that is sacrilege to the holy institution known as dibs, but I'll let it slide. :P Whoever gets there first.

[Knight of Time]

I'm tempted to wish for CEB to ref for me and DarkestLight in the next round, but I'm fairly flexible, guys.

That reminds me, is the next round of the tourney beginning after all the current battles are finished?

[Rossymore]

Yup, and the matches Elf is reffing are the ones left. Though DL may have one here and there.

[DarkestLight]

Yup, and the matches Elf is reffing are the ones left. Though DL may have one here and there.

Incorrect. Go to page 2, last post to see the new stuffz. Though I will edit a few things about it so give me a lil bit.

I am reffing one more, which might be over soon, depending on how strategic the opponents are.

Blade: Ok cool. You won. Now you can take your points, and swap out Pokemon within your type for the next battle. On page 2 of this thread, last post, the next battle Arena is posted. As are the Pokemon requirements. If you do not have Pokemon that fit this requirement, you can take your points, and use them to trade for stronger Pokemon (from anyone elses team).

The ratio is

1 pt for First form
2 pt for middle form
3 pt for final/non evolvers.

If they happen to be from your team, then you are ok and you can swap team members out without having to use points.

[Knight of Time]

Ugh, I'm starting to think the next round is going to hit everyone remaining in this tournament hard...very hard.

'is wishing he had the points to borrow or catch a couple of Normal/Flying types'

[DarkestLight]

Yah...oh but Kot. Ima hafta swipe yer Gengar, Since Asi is the only one I see with Drifloon, and its in use, and UC is using Posion, so his is off limits...ah and I'm battling you. I will use your own team against you!

[Crazy Elf Boy]

DL, why must you hate me?

[Asilynne]

Its a drifblim thank you very much *triple snaps you* lol

[Ayeun]

1st off, Does the Hoppip line count as flying?

2nd, aren't the teams fixed? Meaning that we can not make changes to our line up? If so, then for almost all of us, this round is EXTREMELY unfair.

[Oslo]

No, Ayeun, you can switch in/out as you please.

I'm glad I got knocked out early, then, as there are literally two Dark-types (not counting Darkrai) who fit the arena's criteria... Murkrow and Honchkrow. :P In all honesty, it seems kind of silly to construct a Monotype tourney with pre-set arenas that bias certain types, but eh. *shrugs*

[Blademaster]

Agreeing with Oslo and Ayeun here. Who the fuck makes a flying-only arena in a place like this?! There's only ONE available Fire Pokemon in ASB that can fly, and as far as I know there are NO Electric types except maybe the Magnemite line.

This shit has to be rigged.

[DarkestLight]

Honestly, I didn't think a Flying arena would be so difficult >> I had thought there were enough flying Pokemon around to cover. Yes Hoppip counts as flying. Yeah Maggy counts as flying, as well as Rotom >>

But if it is causing everyone so much distress, we can swap to another Arena. I did make a bunch just to ensure there would be variety. Gimme a sec...

There. There should be no complaints with that one, or the other 4 I have waiting.

[Asilynne]

Im not complaining about a flying only arena ;D

[Knight of Time]

Glad you changed the arena for the second round, DarkestLight...yeah, I can see I was right when I thought the old idea was going to go really hard on everyone...personaly, I would have gone with platforms in the air, but then again, seeing the old arena kinda reminded me of the one I chose for one of my old ASB battles where I battled Lune the Guardian (back when she was known as Charizard04621), that arena, which had a slowly disappearing floor, totally backfired on me (in a loss).

You sure you want to still use my Gengar in the next round? Just be warned, I'll still fight very hard if I end up facing one of my own Pokemon. As crazy as it is, I guess you could say it'd possibly have its regrets afterward.

[DarkestLight]

Naa. Dun need it now. Can stick with my crew thus far.

2nd round matches can begin, if everyone is ok with this arena. And you hush Asi xD. :o

[Blademaster]

I can still switch Pokemon out before my battle, right? Magmar is awesome, but Magmortar is just too damn good to pass up...

[DarkestLight]

Yes, yes you can.

[Blademaster]

Sweet. brb, looking for a Magmortar.

EDIT: HEY, KYLE! LEMME BORROW KINGLAVA FOR A BIT!

[Knight of Time]

Go ahead Blademaster.

'hands over Kinglava's Pokeball'

He's blue, kinda like the Phantasy Star 2 enemy I named him after.

Speaking of switching out, I'm going to switch out Rika for Coco, my Kangaskhan (who has Scrappy), just incase.

[Blademaster]

Sweet, thanks man. Heading to the Bank to cover this, then the battle.

[DarkestLight]

Hrm. Reminds me. Lemme go see what I can go ghost wise, cause there's a Kanga that needs to get its arse whooped.

Bet. I know what I'm doing. I'm cool with my crew. Gonna stick with my crew and post them up in the battle when its made >p

O.o Edit: Yeah we're gonna make a quick swap out. Dropping Kamdent for Greebly. ¬¬ Im gonna push KOT to the limit now.

[DarkestLight]

Bad double poster. Hey KOT. We can start our round 2 match whenever :O. I'm guessing real life caught up with you-but yeah, just letting you know.

Ok and Blade swapped for Kinglava, so that's 3 points more in the pot...yay, 96 point pot. That's crazy man lol.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Well im screwed....i beleive Gengar is capable of Levitate i suppose...but the only other Poison type i have is Nidoking so not exactly a flyer.

Not in the mood to start burning my points just to fit whatever new gimmick is brought up every round.

[DarkestLight]

o.O UC...wha?

Oh dude-the arena changed. Check the last post on page 2. The Arena should be much easier.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Fair enough, i was reacting to posts instead of reading for myself lol.

Im still in my round 1 battle anyway lol.

[Asilynne]

Same here T.T dont leeaaaaveeee meeeeee!

[DarkestLight]

Soon you'll both know if yer going to round two, Holy jeeezus left side of the bracket is all still in Round 1? Ok no that needs to speed up a bit, this Tourney could have a nice feasible time period of a month and a half.

EDIT as of today:
Right side of the Bracket is halfway done with Round 2. KOT and I are giving it our all-who's gonna pull it out?
Left Side of the Bracket, step it up :D We got two winners anxious to battle! Congrats to UC for pulling it out at the very end.

[Knight of Time]

Well, the third round is soon going to be on us...but I'm prepared to make another change to my Normal-type team, as I wish to borrow a couple of Pokemon (that is, if their owners are okay with it), MLG, could I possibly borrow your Porygon-Z please, and Green Lanturn, could I possibly borrow your Lickilicky, please?

I want to be ready for Blademaster once I know what the new arena is.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Well, ofcourse you can, but no you can't; it's still in a battle with Greyfox' Flygon =/

[Knight of Time]

That's okay, I can wait until it's free, unless Greyfox is okay with lending me Inverted Duckbot instead (I presume your Porygon-Z isn't in any battles, right Greyfox?).

[Ayeun]

Reporting from the left side...

Were going as fast as we can.

[Blademaster]

You'll never be ready for me, KoT. Rawk Hawk will tear your team apart one by one... :cawg:

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Ayuen just won her match against Rossy.

[DarkestLight]

Guess its time for an update!

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll80/HikariMeoru/Round5.jpg


Alright! Left side is swimming along finally, with people reaching the second round. You folks know the arena-Aztec Ruins.

As for right side- here's yer arena. Go on and make your trades and what not-this should be a good one when it starts.


Vietnam Jungle.


Yes. Yer fighting in the deep humid jungle of Vietnam. There are no Cong around you, but there are two net traps and 4 land mines in this area. Each mine takes off 20% damage (if they're not duds..), so watch where you step!

The net traps just trap your Pokemon until they free themselves/are freed-and they're just rope so no problem slashing through or burning or whatever you need to do.

Banned moves-None then the standard Banned Tourney rules..which I should frickin' remember ><!

Other than that-just tight jungle!

Now if this stage is too much, let me know-so we don't have chaos like last time.

EDIT: Oh, here's a modification. I noted something about the bracket-and I decided that for the third round, the person on the bottom is the one that attacks SECOND. Meaning they post the battle up, and the person on top attacks first. That's fair.

[Knight of Time]

You'll never be ready for me, KoT. Rawk Hawk will tear your team apart one by one... :cawg:

We'll settle this in our battle.

However, you are the one that better watch it, if I lose to you in the tournament, that'll just add more fuel to my hope to beat you in the All-Corners Challenge once it's my turn. Choose your fate.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Just a heads-up. Im going to be away from Monday to Friday next week. Havent got a clue if ill have Web Access so if this next battle starts it may be delayed slightly.

[Ayeun]

Gonna sub Hoppip out for my new Lotad for round 2.

[DarkestLight]

UC: Nu prob. I picked it up. Ayeun-yer good to go n_n Good Luck

[DarkestLight]

Hrm, Elf's the only one not in a Round 2 match. Bah. Im anxious to see who's in the finals :D

[Asilynne]

Im still in round one >.>

[Knight of Time]

Alright, I've decided that I'm going to make at least one Pokemon swap before I go on to fight Blademaster (I'm making sure I'm ready with some new surprises if I'm pushed to my limits again), this time around, I'm going to be swapping Coco my Kangaskhan for Inverted Duckbot, Greyfox's Porygon-Z (has Download).

'makes a mental note to reach out to Green Lanturn'

Edit: Okay, I am going to make a second swap, this time I'm swapping out Kirby for Noe, Green Lanturn's male Lickilicky who has Own Tempo.

Here's my payment (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showpost.php?p=459048&postcount=392).

Thanks, both of you! I'll do whatever it takes to knock Blademaster out of the tournament, no matter how hard he pushes me to my limits.

[DarkestLight]

You swapped for a Lickylicky and a Porygon-Z.

That's 6 points, not 5 :O. They're both final forms.

[Knight of Time]

Wait, final forms cost three points, regardless of whether they have one or two previous pre-evolutions?

...okay, okay, I'll fix that, my bad.

Edit: Something else I'm wondering about, does the person who sends first in the third round have the responsibility of posting the battle topic when they're ready (in my case, does Blademaster have to take that responsibility?)?

[Blademaster]

I'll post it, calm down. I just want to weigh my options before I decide on a final team...

[DarkestLight]

Pot is at 102 points. Just to let ya know..*whistle*

[Blademaster]

It'll be going up soon. Now that I know what I'm up against, I just gotta make a few final swaps and check the arena once more and I'll be ready to kick Kyle's face in.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Well Dabsaww just got DQ'ed in his match against Asilynne.

[DarkestLight]

Really now! Well hot damn, lets get that Round two match started!

[Blademaster]

OK, one last question before I post: Is this another 2-on-2 battle, or have I missed a rule change?

[DarkestLight]

Nope. All tourney Matches are 2 on 2

[Blademaster]

Alright, I'm making one final swap: Asilynne's Houndour for Wolfsong's Ninetales(M), Tim Speedle. Flash Fire Ability.

Paid for here: http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20130&page=10

[DarkestLight]

3 more points to the Pot. Daaaaayum 105. That's gonna be a huuuge cut.

[Asilynne]

Hey Will do I get 4 points for winning? also can I evolve some of my team members before going to the next round? And does it cost to switch if Im switching from within my own pokemon? Just want to know what my options are before I proceed ^-^

[Knight of Time]

Hey Will do I get 4 points for winning? also can I evolve some of my team members before going to the next round? And does it cost to switch if Im switching from within my own pokemon? Just want to know what my options are before I proceed ^-^

Uh, in double battles, you get 2 points for winning, not 4.

I do believe you can evolve one of your Pokemon before your next battle, yes.

As for switching, there is no cost for making a Pokemon switch if you're making a switch between two of your Pokemon.

'is wishing he could be a fountain of knowledge here'

[Asilynne]

Ok thats cool, I thought it went up the more pokemon involved in the match because you get 2 points for winning in single battles too but oh well. Cool Ill evolve one of my pokes then ;D

[Rossymore]

Ooooh, in the Semi-Finals are we? That was quick. I barely saw the second round. So who will I be reffing in the finals? Either UC, Asi, Blade or Knight.

Hehehehe...

[Knight of Time]

Ooooh, in the Semi-Finals are we? That was quick. I barely saw the second round. So who will I be reffing in the finals? Either UC, Asi, Blade or Knight.

Hehehehe...

Aren't you forgetting CEB? He's still in the tournament, I think.

[Rossymore]

Then there'd be five people in the Semi-Finals. And that don't make much sense. I've seen the match-up thingy on Page 4, and I know who'd won those matches.

[Knight of Time]

You're predicting CEB is going to be ousted? I don't think he'd be too happy about that...either him or Asilynne will be advancing to the semi-finals against Ultimate Charizard.

[Asilynne]

Im ready for the round 2 topic when you are elfness ;D

[Rossymore]

*checks sheety thing*

O_o;
Sorry Elf, I didn't see you there. Good luck to you both.

*scurries away*

[Crazy Elf Boy]

You're dead to me.

[Rossymore]

Look, I'll ref your match against Blade in the finals and tweak it so you win, kay?

Wait...

[Knight of Time]

Look, I'll ref your match against Blade in the finals and tweak it so you win, kay?

Wait...

Hey, hey, don't count me out yet, I may be down in my battle with Blademaster...but it isn't over until it's over.

But I guess I should get out my sign with the word "bye" on it...

[Blademaster]

Take heart, Kyle. I'm quite sure that if I'd been dumb enough to underestimate you and stick to my original team of Magmortar and Blaziken, I'd have fallen already. I had to pull a complete 180, and even now my two Pokemon are just barely as strong as your one.

[Knight of Time]

Good luck in the final battle, Blademaster...you might need it.

Well, being out of the tournament now, I'm bowing out...thus, Inverted Duckbot and Noe are going back to their respective trainers.

'is thinking he may want to ref the final battle, even though it's just a slight temptation'

[DarkestLight]

Ummmm Im 98% sure I'm not reffing the final battle. I'll be cool with one more Tourney match, then its all for grabs. But we'll worry about that when the time gets here.

[Rossymore]

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Are we? Are we?

[DarkestLight]

Almost. Elf and UC have to battle. I should probably send them a PM, since I updated the chart. Man, I'm really glad at how this Tournament has turned out thus far.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

I am getting my new team member for next round, so if you would like to join me in the approval room in like 2 minutes.

Edit rather then double post, I will be swapping out my Nidoking James, for my unnamed Claydol when it is approved.

[DarkestLight]

ok! Fianlly! Finals. UC vs Blade!

Stipulations:
1) You guys decide who releases first and who releases second.
2) The stage is an electrified Cage match. Simple as that. You touch the side of the cage-you lose 5 HP. Does not induce paralysis. The arena is half the size of a Wailord, so its not super compact.

Any questions?

[Ultimate Charizard]

Darkly ill let u decide the running order. Ive sent out first in every match ive had so far so id like a swap but its upto Blade. If he wants to go second too then joist flip for it.

I will however be switching out my Venusaur and replacing it with my Nidoking.

[Blademaster]

Venusaur and Nidoking... Poison team, eh?

This is gonna suck.

I need to look over the teams before I can fight. Maybe make a final swap here or there...

Also, I'm fine with sending out first. That means UC has to attack first. :D

[DarkestLight]

Ok. Its the 15th :O Kinda want to wrap this up-since this is the Final and all.

[Blademaster]

Who's making the topic? There's no tier to be above or below anybody else's name anymore. :confused:

[DarkestLight]

Oh. I will. And then you two can do the rest :O
