Six Gen Four-Way! Cynder vs. BTPoke vs. Emerald_Gen.3 vs. Puma (ref: Oslolso)

[Oslo]

Yep, I'm doing this... assuming you four are ready and willing.

This battle right here was definitely the coolest thing I've ever reffed in my time at ASB. It involved all sorts of zany shenanigans and basically turned BTPoke's Dragonite, Cicero, into a household name. That's why I'm offering to ref the whole thing all over again. Since Puma has expressed that he really enjoyed spectating the previous battle, I'm going to extend this one so he can participate.

The rules:

The four participating trainers will enter with six Pokemon each—one from every Generation. The battle will then be composed of six sets: the Gen I Pokemon will face off against one another first, then the Gen II Pokemon, then the Gen III Pokemon, and so on. The winner of each set will get a coin and, at the end of the fifth set, the person with the most coins wins. If a set ends in a tie, the tied trainers will each get a coin. If two trainers have the same amount of coins at the end of the fifth set, we will go to a wildcard tie-breaker (which you may remember happened last time). Still following? Okay, let's make things more complex.

To add a bit of fun, each set will have different restrictions based on the accompanying Generation. For example, since the first set will be limited to Generation I Pokemon, the participants will have to follow Generation I rules: no abilities, no genders, Gen I type chart, Gen I movesets. (Which is to say, Pikachu can use Thundershock and Light Screen but not Iron Tail or even Defense Curl, since it didn't get access to Defense Curl until Gen II.) Bite will be Normal-type, Magnemite will be pure Electric... that sort of thing. Similarly, the second set will follow Gen II rules: still no abilities, genders are in play, post-Gen I type chart, Gen I/Gen II movesets, and so on. You get the idea... I hope.

The arena will be Indigo Plateau. Also, to keep damage calcs straightforward, moves can only ever take one target. (So even if you try to Earthquake all of your opponents in one fell swoop, only one of them will be able to feel the attack. How? Magic.) I'm banning non-damaging healing moves and Pain Split. Also, there will be no damage cap. Finally, I'd like a strict DQ time of seven days.

Once everyone has agreed to participate, you can PM me your six Pokemon. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

So... are you guys game?
