Words I would like to say after this match include but are not limited to:
What, how, what even, RNG why, wow, etc.
Seriously though, I expected all the matches to go like the first did. And then with the start of round 2...I was not expecting the outcome that occurred. Man, those matches were fun, but also incredibly stressful.
Also, Pineco did so much work despite me barely picking it over a Rattata.

Plus that Shiftry walled half my team and was faster than Froslass, remind me to carry flamethrower from now on.

As always, try to get all matches done within a week. But I won't force the issue if it takes more time as always.

Re: Rando Pokemon Tourney V Round 4
Idea 1: Pokermon. You are dealt 6 random mons, you can hold however many and get dealt replacements for the ones you don't want, repeat once more. Whatever 6 you have in the end are your mons for that round.
Idea 2: Randomization by tiers. In other words, 1/1/2/2/6 or 1/1/1/1/8 (or something along those lines). The numbers are the number of mons you'd randomly be getting from each of the tiers, OU/BL/UU/RU/NU. In this instance, I'd more like use 1/1/1/1/8 since that would force the use of mons you normally wouldn't pick.

Re: Rando Pokemon Tourney V Round 4
Round 1 Winner:
HamsterZerg 0-1
Round 2 Winner:
HamsterZerg 0-2
Round 3 Winner:
I got beat by Unown
I lost that first battle due to some brain farts like forgetting about Ghost Type Marowak, and using Spore on the one Pokemon that had Sleep Talk really sucked.
But that second fight... Regice walled my entire team, and then you had Lugia who also walled my team, BAH!
Still fun if a little soul crushing.

Good games... that hax against that Tsareena felt really bad. Thankfully, game 2 was a ton better. I expected Aero to be a key player,
but I did not expect Sandslash to keep a sweep up... it really surprised me, and from now on, I'll consider those weather moves actually considerations for the respective sweepers. And it's sad that Persian ended up as deadweight... Wanted that cat to do something there.
Any questions, concerns, or aspirations you have with me can go to the PM box... Now here's a quote:

Re: Rando Pokemon Tourney V Round 4
Yeah, I just couldn't do anything against the M-Aero. I basically would have needed to build something specifically to handle it. And, yes, I could have had I known...but I thought max speed on the Jolt would have been enough speed on my team and priority moves weren't in abundance as options. And then in the second one, everything that could have dealt with Sandslash was already gone by that point. It didn't help that Garbodor ended up being absolutely useless. I picked it to be a physical wall and it couldn't do that. I picked it to be a double spike setter but didn't want to put up Toxic spikes because 2/3 of your team would have been immune. And it could do literally nothing against the Sandslash, since the fourth move Garbodor had was Haze. And Persian was the last mon I picked and I picked it mostly for coverage that I ended up not needing, hence why it felt like it didn't do much.
It honestly jut felt like I could do nothing, which I know is a horrible feeling in this game. But, on the other hand, you don't get to ignore the RNG in pokémon and this is a random tourney on top of that. What happens is what happens (and I had a good session of DnD afterwards, so I can't complain too much about the evening as a whole).
And I'm kind of happy to no longer be undefeated...didn't exactly feel like I deserved to be the only undefeated player at the end of three rounds.
Having thought about this idea for a bit, I actually really really like it. That opens up some interesting strategems and gives a player just a touch more control over their mons. Like, if nothing else, if you had two mons that were usable but redundant, you could at least get rid of one and (hope to) get something different/also usable.pholtos wrote: Modified idea for Pokermon thanks to Minna:

The randomization by tiers could be neat, but I feel like I'd want to see it in action first before committing. And maybe another mon or two. I don't know about anyone else building their teams, but I keep feeling like if I had just one or two more pokemon to pick from, I could make a better team. But maybe that's also because every single round thus far I've had to struggle to decide what my sixth member would be because it was never obvious. That last part is mostly just a musing - you can probably ignore it. I've built three competent teams thus far, and this is a random tourney so you get what you get and so does your opponent.

Re: Rando Pokemon Tourney V Round 4
Was pondering about ways to make this all around more balanced, in terms of pokermon. I could supply a full list of all mons and ask for mons that should be removed for being too weak or too strong and then everything else is fair game, or I could limit the random mons to specific tiers, although I'd feel bad for NFEs in that instance.bbbrrr_it_cold wrote:Having thought about this idea for a bit, I actually really really like it.

It's definitely still a work in progress idea but I think it's the best bet for a good gimmick for next time.

Re: Rando Pokemon Tourney V Round 4
I really don't see any good reason for that to be honest. Just seems dedicated to the notion of making people get screwed over by their bad mons. If they can find a way to make a bad mon work, I don't see any reason to say "no you're not allowed to have something useful". Not like using a FEAR strategy is any better than having just gotten a decent mon in the first place.
