One at a time, and the Hackmons is going.

---

Mike passed last time his tourney was up, so he might not want to go again anyways. Someone should ask him next they see him.

---

We need to start a tour. Mike's in chat pretty often so I'll ask if he wants to do his tour this time round, or if we just go to the Mono-Smeargle tour.

I talked to Mike and Doc. We think Mew should host Mike's tour :3
In any case. We need to get a tour started. Heck I'll host it if no one else wants to.

---

Yeah who posts doesn't matter as long as they are active and are capable of hosting.

Tournament coming soon!

Answer 1

The Area Tourney

Hey me Jofly got this idea i dont know if it is good or bad. this is my tourney idea all players choose one area in which Region they want. For example if i choose Sinnoh route 201 i can use pokemon that i can catch in in that area like Starly, Bidoof, Kricketot, Dodou, Nidroan(male) and turtwig Gift pokemon is allowed. Then i can use their evolutions like Dodrio, Torterra, ETC. The places for Legendary pokemon is not banned but the legendary pokemon is banned. So if i choose Turnback cave im not allowed to use Giratina but im allowed to use all Non legendary pokemon in the area. All the legendary trios are allowed and some more legendary pokemon. There are the allowed legendaries.
Legendary birds, Legendary beasts, Legendary golems, The Lake guardians and
The swords of justice

---

Rules

• All pokemon that not is Legendary is allowed
• Lv 100, 6 pokemon
• Soul dew is banned
• Evasion clause (evasion moves are banned)
• OHKO Clause ( OHKO moves are banned)
• Moody Clause: Moody is banned
• Roaming Pokemon is banned
  -You decide if roaming pokes shall be allowed cuz i dont know :)

Help me if i forgot some simple Rules thanks

Answer 2

Darwin's theory

So this is an interesting idea.

So everyone makes a team of LC Pokemon. This team of LC Pokemon will be edited into your answer. The Pokemon must be in their first evolution and must be able to evolve twice. By this I mean a Pokemon such as Chimchar (or any starter) can be used as it can evolve twice using the same evolution path. Whereas a Pokemon like Scraggy cannot be used because it only evolves once following one evolution path (This means Pokemon like Eevee cannot be used as it can only follow one evolution path). Once everyone has edited their teams (not the sets just the Pokemon) in the fixtures will be decided (this is to avoid changing Pokemon between rounds/cheating). Once the fixtures are decided the team can not be edited. The first round is a battle using the LC Pokemon (lv 100). If you happen to move onto the second round then evolution shall occur. You evolve every member of your team once and move onto your next battle. If you have not already guessed round 3 (the final) will be a team of Pokemon in their fully evolved form.

So if my team is Chimchar, Turtwig, Piplup, Tepig, Bulbasaur and Totodile it will look like the following by the final; Infernape, Torterra, Empoleon, Emboar, Venasaur, Feraligter.

This means you really need to think about your team as it is constantly changing. Piplup may be a garbage Pokemon to use in the first round but in the final round you may think Empoleon is an excellent choice. Its not the case of choosing the best Pokemon in the first round if they are going to be impracticable in following rounds.

Answer 3

The PWT Mix tourney!

If anyone here has ever played the mix mode in the PWT in Black or White 2 they will know exactly what this is. It has the exact same bans as the PWT (Just with no Ubers at all), and each of the 16 participants will have 3 pokemon. The catch is that just like the mix tourney in the PWT, each battler gets to see the other battler's team and select one pokemon. Once each battler has selected a pokemon from the other battler's team, they will then swap. So I am in it and I have to battle Erickhill, I would tell Erick my team (Magmortar, Crustle, and Ampharos for example) and he would tell me his (Jellicent, Toxicroak, and Flygon). Say I picked Jellicent from his team and he picked Ampharos from mine, my team would now be Magmortar, Crustle, and Jellicent, and his team would then be Amphparos, Toxicroak and Flygon. The only difference between this and the PWT is that you keep that the changes made to your team by swapping are not reset after the battle, so the winner of the tourney may not finish with any of the pokemon he started with.

Answer 4

Inspired by Mike's troll tourney, I give you....

THE OU USER BAN TOURNEY!

The idea of the tourney is that it is just like a regular OU tourney with regular bans, however, the twist is that each participant gets to pick one Pokemon to be banned for the tourney. So if Mew joins and chooses Genesect to be banned, then Genesect is banned. A few pokemon can not be banned such as weather setters, but most everything else is fair game! Note that you must ban something off you join and you can not ban something that you know no one else will use. This would have 16 participants as usual and would be held on PO/PS.

Answer 5

How about a balanced hackmons tourney? If we have a hackmons tourney then we can do a balanced hackmons tournament :D Look it up.

Answer 6

THE OLD SCHOOL TOURNEY
I remember a time a glorious time... Sweepers didn't exist mixmence wasn't around... It was called gen 1. I remember taking my charizard,articuno,zapdos,moltres, and a snorlax to go and have fun not win. So lets go old school!
RULES
-Only gen 1 pokes
-Legends and starters only
-Moves cannot raise a stat the must deal direct damage (no stealth rock)
-moves can deal direct damage and then raise stats (charge beam)
-No customized roles
- All moves must be STAB
-dual types split 2 and 2

Comments

quick question, if you say that its old school, why not just let them use gen 1 moves instead?

---

well... Gen III had more moves so let me think...

Answer 7

DB Double Cup Classic

The First Database Double Battle Tournament.

Anyone can battle with one Pokemon, we've been doing it since Gen. I. But how well can you battle with 2 Pokemon?

Answer 8

GSC 1-v-1 Tournament

Answer 9

Mono Egg-Group Tournament

• The group Undiscovered is banned

• The group Ditto is not banned, although the only pokemon you can use is Ditto.

• The regular Items bans are obviously banned

• If you are clever enough to find an uber outside of the group undiscovered, report it and we will see if you can use it. Tell the host, so nobody else knows!

Answer 10

THE BABY CUP

its like the little cup but we can only use pokemons that have later devolutions like elekid, smoochum, magby, pichu, etc. we can also use pokemons that have newer evolutions that comes later on like onix, lickitung, sneasel,mukrow. Dont get mixed up with other pokemons like kirlia, eevee, snorunt, etc. which have another evoltuion roots.

HOW DOES IT SOUND? leave comments of what you think about it and also about how i can make it more understandable :D

Comments

This is called Little Cup.

Answer 11

Temple Run Tourney

This tournament is based on the game Temple Run 2. There will be road blocks and runners. There will be 8 road blocks and each of them will be one of these tiers: Random, CC, LC, NU, RU, UU, OU, and Uber. There will be 4 Runners. Runners will battle the road blocks in order. If a runner wins, it advances to the next road block. If the runner loses, thy will have to restart from the beginning. The first runner to defeat all 8 blocks will win.

If a runner wins against a road block in less than these turns:
Less than 25 turns = Boost; You get to skip the next road block.
Less than 40 turns = Invincibility; You get another try to defeat the road block if you lose against it. 
Over than 41 turns = Mega Coin; No effect

Comments

Sounds similar to Ninja's gauntlet tourney

Answer 12

So heres my idea for a tournement:

There will an odd number of teams. each team will consist of 3 members, each representing one of 3 tiers: Ubers, OU, and UU.

There will be one captain per team, who chooses the tier they wish to champion. The team captain also selects a co-captain, who is also assigned a tier. This will done between me andwhoever wants to help by being a Captain. talk to me on Showdown or in chat. All three captains will select their co-captain, and this will not be public knowledge. DO NOT ASK TO BE A CO-CAPTAIN. if someone wants you, they will ask. Once the Captains and axo-Captains are all selected, the signup board will be posted, with each team as well as who is the capt and co-capt for said team, and what tier they are representing. every team must have one for each tier, and this cannit be switched around. if you sign up for ubers, you are playing ubers. tiers can be changed PRIOR TO TEAM SELECTION, since you may wamt a certain tier that is already full. for this reason all entrants must list their preference in order 1-3 and if needed, they will be assigned whichever is available. your team must win 2/3 tiers against the other team. winner will go on to the next round. we also add a lossers bracket if volume allows. Rules are standard for each tier, Prankster Riolu and other such Apam Startegies will not be allowed. Teams will choose names once all 3 members are assigned and then we will track the battles and victory/losses. if you have any complaints about a strategy that you believe was illegal, we will appoint officials to watch battles and make sure everything is on the up and up. if you wish to be a ref, apply.

thanks, any more q' ask me. UPVOTE THIS!!!

Answer 13

Tutor tourney!

This is a type of team tourney where a member joins up with a tutor of theirs, past or present. The tutor basically picks one of his/her apprentices to battle along side with during the event. They will form a team with a team name (logo is not required) and battle other teams.

With the tutor battling the opposing sides tutor and the apprentice battling the opposing apprentice. In the likelihood of winning one losing one then the tutor decides to either fight or let the pupil do it.

Fight with or your heart,soul and pride in order to state yourself as the best teacher or best pupil and declare yourself champion!

EDIT: Some people might get left out. So what I am going to do is if two people wothout a partner join they will be assigned a temporary tutor/apprentice,just to practice with and enter. You do not have to stay as their tutor afterwards. Also, in case you didn't catch you can use previous tutors instead. But the tutor must acknowledge this,you can't just say "oh Hex is my tutor I'm with him!".

I'm gonna get the boring stuff outa da way ;}

1. Full 6v6 battles with no team preview.
2. No Ubers
3. No F.E.A.R
4. No soul dew
5. All basic clauses other than item MUST be on
6. Basic smogon OU banned strategies

If this goes ahead then I will not host, but will still over view stuff (if you know what I mean, which you don't cos I don't think even I do)

Thanks!

NOTE: please include obvious stuff like timezones and when you will most likely be on. In activity will get you DQ'd, and you don't want to let down you pupil do you?

Comments

Nice, but do you think that people without tutors will be feeling left out?

---

Well maybe. i'll think of something.

---

There Dat better? any ideas are welcome.

---

if you're short on apprentices, if this tourney runs I don't mind being adopted for the purposes of the tourney and maybe forever. Lol who knows ;)

Answer 14

Devolution Cup

Similar to little cup, but this time we're only allowed to use Pokemon that have de-volutions or get evolution later on like Pichu, Sneasel and Onix.

And, we'll only be battling at level 1 with only 2 moves.

Available Pokemon are :

These are the only few I got, a total of 40 species.

Rules are :
1) No FEAR set.
2) No Eviolite as an item.
3) Each pokemon only have 2 moves.
4) Your team must at least consist of 3 baby devolution Pokemon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, etc.).
5) Must be in level 1.

Hope you guys like my idea :D
