pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Final Round
Ok so it's way early in terms of starting but since I've already had some interest I'll go ahead and post this.
So as per the norm of my tourneys this will be of a random style. From here on out everything is different from previous tourneys. You will choose your own destiny so to speak. Each round I will randomize the list of pokemon and then you pick 16 numbers between 1 and the number of total pokemon. You then make a team of 6 for that round which you will use in a best of 3 match. You will also know the types of the 16 pokemon your opponent has chosen which could assist in your decision making. The number of pokemon is still undecided.
Also different from before is this will NOT be double elimination. I'll be using a swiss style instead. Unlike double and single elimination, every person plays every round. The number of rounds to play has yet to be determined. Once all rounds are completed, the winner is the one with the best record. Typically people with similar records get put against each other so for the most part you will end up playing against people close to your level of skill. For an example of swiss, see this arbitrary thing I made.
We will be playing on showdown with the Uber format. After each match of 3 has concluded, post the two/three matches in here, using the save replay function. To make your team, simply copy paste each pokemon you choose into the import feature when making a new team in teambuilder. After copy pasting a pokemon, simply hit enter to make a space inbetween each pokemon and once you have entered all 6 you are done, and the team should come out properly. You are free to change the gender (if possible) or make it shiny. Like last time, nicknaming is a must. :3

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Signups and Early Discussion
Clarification on the whole picking thing. Imagine each pokemon is in one of these circles in this picture (naturally in reality there'd be a lot more circles but I digress).
and you pick 12(?) of those circles. Those are the ones you'd then make a team of six out of. You won't know what you'll get til you have picked your 12(?).

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Signups and Early Discussion
So yeah, hi.
I'm officially saying I'm NOT in to participate. For now. Tentatively.
Last tournament, I think my existence has caused a few people some grief, so I'm tentatively willing to let you all have fun with each other and not have to be like "oh crap, it's incumbent champion." Also, I'm supposedly "helping" with the sets which will be used in the tournament, and thus on the same grounds which precluded pholtos and Sedron from participating in the prior tournament, I should be precluded as well.
Of course, all this might change, if y'all deem it not a problem, me and pholtos could play. (Sedron says he won't because of Demon Real Life.) Also, you're welcome to challenge me to battles any time. You win, you get kudos, you lose, you aren't out of a tournament so it's all good and doesn't hurt to try.
I mean, I like playing video games, so it'd be fun to participate, but it's something I can live withoot.

Put me in, coach!
So here we are. Plays have been enacted. Empires have come and gone. The mightiest have passed away and withered, alike the least. Fires have burned, thousandfold. Yet, did not the great wind serenely continue its course? Does not the blackbird still sing its song? Does not the mistletoe still dwell in the oak's crown? Forgotten, what once has been told. Veiled, the words that once so rang out. Shrouded, like the larva in its cocoon. Let him hear it, who will.

All of my yes to joining this again.
If time/real life allows, I will totally take you up on this. I would love a rematch where neither of us feel like we're lucking out.

If you two'd like you could be test subjects for 16 picks and see if that's a good idea, if you're up for it.bbbrrr_it_cold wrote:If time/real life allows, I will totally take you up on this. I would love a rematch where neither of us feel like we're lucking out. Just...not with that Scrafty.

Afterwards feel free to post results in this thread.
Also answer these:
1. How difficult was it to make your team?
2. Did I supply enough information to go on or is supplying the opponents types too much information/not enough?
3. Was 16 too many? Not enough? Just right? What would you say is a good number to supply to people?
4. Any suggestions?

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Signups and Early Discussion
Minna is busy for a bit, so we won't be able to do battle for a few more days. But I have built my team, so I can respond to at least some of the questions right now. I'm going to spoiler it though, because this is longer than I expected it to be.pholtos wrote: Please attempt to have your battle within a few days maybe.

Another question: Do you think a week is long enough for people to both make their team and battle?

Re: pholtos' Rando Pokemon Tourney IV - Signups and Early Discussion
In most cases, a week is probably fine. The reason this match has taken so long is that my internet was just about out this past weekend and when it finally got fixed to the point where it was back to running consistently, Minna was busy with other things. But that's just how real life works, I suppose, and that's something that we can't always predict for.
