Pokemon League!

[Durion]

Hey guys, Lately Bomby and Kybyrian have both made 2 Tourneys between them on the site and they have been fairly successful. So I've decided to make this, A Pokemon League (or Table if you will), It is similar but depends less on luck and more on skill (although Luck is still a big factor in winning)...

Your position on this league table will be decided by a percentage, E.g. If you battled 10 times and won 9 times, you would be on 90%. Obviously the leader will have the highest Win percentage by the end of the league. (however in terms of a draw I will be able to decide by something I will explain in the next paragraph).

In the case that by the final deadline that the two leaders (or competitors in 2nd and 3rd place respectively) are tied on percentage, I will have to determine by what is called in the Football world (or Soccer to you Americans =P), Goal Difference (I don't know if it's in any American Sports). So therefore I will be asking you to comment with the score from your battle, An example is Competitor 1 beating Competitor 2 with 3 pokemon remaining. I can add the winning scores together (so all of the pokemon you had left from the battles you won) and use the resulting figures to decide who wins.

Clauses:

http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Uber Clause:
This means no Ubers (http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/uber)
http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Species Clause:
This means that no two pokemon can be the same species, e.g. You can't have 2 Charizards.
http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Items Clause:
This means that no three items can be the same, e.g. You can't have 3 Leftovers, only two.
http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif OHKO Clause:
No OHKO Moves can be used, e.g. Horn Drill, Sheer Cold, Fissure...etc.
http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Sleep Clause:
With this clause active you can not put more than one pokemon of the oppositions team to sleep at any one time.
http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Self KO clause:
If you KO your last pokemon with a move (e.g. Explosion) and kill the opponents last pokemon, you lose.
http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Evasion Clause:
This means you can't use evasion boosting moves, however abilities like Snow Cloak and Sand Veil are allowed, also evasion boosting Items.
http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Chance Item Clause
I may add to this later on but I'm doubting I will

Rules:

http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif Each competitor has a two weeks to compete in 7 battles (as it stands), This is one match against each other competitor every two weeks, We will battle each other twice (however if you want to attempt to raise your percentage you can battle a few more times, but its your risk). This will continue for a month after the start of the League (so if it were to start today, November 3rd, The league's final deadline would be December 3rd). On the next day, I and Kybyrian (well...possibly him) will work out the final percentages of the League and post the results, The winning competitors with then recieve their prizes.

http://www.upnetwork.net/fb/sprites/items/pokeball.gif You can use any pokemon not covered by a clause. You can also change your pokemon freely between matches.

[Kybyrian]

I don't get it. What is this supposed to be? Like a thread where you challenge people in a battle who are competing and they respond or whatever?

You really gotta specify this stuff.

We need a separate forum for Pokemon. :(

Also:

How's this for a prize?

let me hear a whoop whoop

[Judai]

I'll join with my Platinum version. Does Garchomp count as an uber? Can we use IV/EV Pokemon?

[Mases]

I'll join with my Platinum version. Does Garchomp count as an uber? Can we use IV/EV Pokemon?

Yes according to the list that DarkLink linked to, Garchomp is considered Uber.

And yes, you can use IV/EV Pokemon. I think almost everybody participating in this league have custom made Pokemon. So you can certainly use EV Pokemon... as it would be a severe disadvantage not to.

[Durion]

Ok, Seeing that K4KING has declined and I don't think Zemen will join...I'm going to start off the tourney (although if Zemen decides to join he has until November 14th to join).

I'm officially announcing that this Pokemon League has started as of today, November 4th...

[Judai]

Alright. I'll start tomorrow and get my Wireless Router up. PM friend codes.

[Kybyrian]

I lost to Josh all because of a missed stone edge hax. :<


Also won against him in a second battle of epic proportions.

1/7 people battled.

[Kazumi]

I wish to join this fine establishment as soon as possible, as I FINALLY have located Pokemon Platinum AND fixed my Wi-Fi. So I can finally fight anyone..

[Kybyrian]

I beat Shnappy in one heck of an epic battle. That makes me 2/3 and I've battled 2/7 of the different people required. 66.6(repeating)%

[Shnappy]

I confirm defeat against Kybyrian.

Also, I beat Mases last night. *cough*easiliy*cough*. So I'm done 2/7 battles, and have a 50% win rate.

[Josh]

Well let's see.

I beat Wyatt, then I lost to Wyatt. Then I lost to Cody. So 33% for me. :(

[Durion]

Lost to Josh 1-0 cause he broke that laws of probability :<....1 out of 7

[Josh]

:P

iwin against da darklink. I now has 50 %.

[Mases]

I, Mases Hagopian, beat Josh. Because my Crobat was so so Brave in the heat of battle. I can't say enough about my Crobat. I think Crobat has officially surpassed Nidoking and Bronzong as THEE Mases pokemon. Such a Brave Pokemon.

[Josh]

I, Josh Zelinsky, lost to Mases. That, is about as far down on the failure list as you can go, and yes, I do feel incredibly sorry for myself right about now.

[Kybyrian]

I, Wyatt Kieffner, beat halo siera117. I do consider this to be a great victory for all of awesome kind. Thank you very much for your time.

This is my 3rd win out of 4 battles, leaving me at a 75% win rate.

[Halo siera 117]

Kyby won against me with a turn around victory. I'm hopping to battle Mases next.

EDIT: what a great day! Mases won against me too! Now I' m 0-2

EDIT: My luck just keeps going and going! I Just lost to Josh! 0-3

LAST EDIT: I am offcailly widthdrawing from the tournament, there is no chance of winning.

[Josh]

And I have, won against Halo. I am now back at 50%. Hooray.

[Durion]

Ok, what was the final scores in the following battles guy?:

Kybyrian V Halo Siera 117
Halo Siera 117 V Mases
Halo Siera 117 V Josh
Shnappy V Mases

[Cody]

Beat Josh twice.

Final scores were 2-0 and 4-0.

[Mases]

Ok, what was the final scores in the following battles guy?:

Kybyrian V Halo Siera 117
Halo Siera 117 V Mases
Halo Siera 117 V Josh
Shnappy V Mases

I baet Halo 2-0. I've never played Shnappy for this yet.

This sound interesting. I might join. Although I know I won't do well if I do because currently my version of Platinum has weak Pokemon and usually I depend on legendaries (which are uber) to get me through the rough battles once I have them (like once I get to the Pokemon League I depend on a single legendary to carry me through).

[Mases]

You can ask Kybyrian to make you Pokemon. Through Action Replay, he can make any pokemon, give them whichever moves that you would like, whichever items, and even give them maximum EV's in whichever desired stats.

The website, Smogon, has a great tier list with each pokemon having usually multiple suggested set lists.

[Kybyrian]

I beat Shnappy 2-0 and halo 2-0. That was it. I don't think Mases ever battled Shnappy, you probably meant to put me. :P

[Durion]

I beat Kybyrian 2-0

League 1 Round up as of November 8th:

Josh beat Kybyrian (1-0)
Kybyrian beat Josh (2-0)

True I always could do that but then it'd be likely to screw up my game (the main reason my pokemon in platinum are so weak because I had too get another copy of it). I just don't want to go down that road (again).

[Cody]

Beat Shnappy 4-0

Beat Shnappy 3-0

[Kybyrian]

I beat Kazumi 5-0 in a match just a little bit ago. Epic battle. Not so good for Kaz. :P

[Kazumi]

Sir Wyatt beat me in a match 5-0. It was not epic. Great for Ky though.

That puts me at.. 0% Winning.

EDIT: This is just in! Kazumi defeats Josh in Pokemon battle! Josh retires from Pokemon! More on this story and the assault of three teenage girls later at 6:00 PM EST.

[Durion]

Ok, We've got until sunday to get all of the battles finished, but personally...I'm up for extending it until the next Sunday then giving out the Prizes then. I've got too much work to do at home as well as finding time for after school activities and hunting down others to play Pokemon. If you prefer this Idea then just say.

[Kazumi]

I'm think that's an excellent idea, DL. Considering that I've only officially fought Josh and Wyatt.. So. I have a lot of people to fight. Fight me. :<

[Durion]

Infact, yeah...I can't be bothered with another two weeks of attempting to get this down.

Starting from now the Tourney will last until 6th-7th or December, We will then give each respective member one of the prizes.

[Master Kokiri 9]

Okay that's it! I don't care if I get pummeled to a pixelated pulp I'm joining! Where exactly is the sign up desk?

[Durion]

Infact...guys, everyone battle everyone at least once and report here when you have and we'll hand out the prizes then. I've become kinda bored with chasing people around.
