Because why the hell not?

"Advance" means RSEFRLG (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green). In other words, the most recent generation of Pok?mon titles; the ones for Game Boy Advance.

A schedule will be defined once enough people have signed up.

Battles will be held over NetBattle, obviously.

The rules of this tournament are as such:

1. Battles are Advance Mode single battles, with everyone in "Full Advance" as their version.

2. Which server is used doesn't matter.

3. The following clauses are to be in place:
a. Sleep Clause
b. Freeze Clause
c. Apply PP Ups
d. Battle Timeout

Unrated and Show Enemy HP are optional.

If it isn't listed here, it shouldn't be on in your matches.

4. The following pok?mon are banned from the tournament:

Mewtwo
Lugia
Ho-oh
Rayquaza
Kyogre
Groudon
Mew
Latios
Latias
Deoxys
Deoxys-F
Deoxys-L
Deoxys-E
Wobbuffet

Outside of Wobbuffet, these Pokemon are "Uber" pokemon. Their combined stats are very high and they have no limiting traits. Wobbuffet is banned because of his trait, Shadow Tag, which prevents opponents from switching. Thus, if two wobbuffets are sent to battle each other and both have Leftovers, it becomes an unwinnable battle. Banning Wob prevents this from ever happening.

5. You may not have more than one of the following pokemon on your team:

Celebi
Jirachi
Articuno
Zapdos
Moltres
Suicune
Raikou
Entei
Regirock
Regice
Registeel

These pok?mon are "Legendary" pok?mon. Most of them are quite powerful. Celebi and Jirachi have the qualifications to be "Ubers" if you look at their stats, but Celebi has too many key weaknesses and Jirachi does not have a good enough movepool for them to be considered "Ubers." Note that despite their stats, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, and Salamence aren't on here. They don't fit the "legendary" qualification simply because the game doesn't consider them so; they're found in the wild, except for Metagross, but we know there's more than one of it anyway. Either way, they all have several key weaknesses, and all but Metagross have double weaknesses to very common attack types.

6. Other than that, there's no restrictions. "Skarmbliss" is legal, there are no item bans, "Perishtrapping" is fine, etc.

So with that, let's get on to the signups...

01. Kyouji Craw
02. Kirbynite
03. Hiryuu
04. Grey
05. Colleen
06. Keitaro
07. Cpubasic13
08. Luigi-San
09. Clockworkz
10. High Flyin' Ryan
11. Bloodstar
12. Yoronosuku

And here are the first round matchups:

1. Hiryuu VS Colleen
2. Kyouji Craw VS Bloodstar
3. Cpubasic13 VS Luigi-San
4. Yoronosuku VS Keitaro
5. Kirbynite VS Grey
6. Clockworkz VS RYjet911

First round begins noon EST on Saturday, August 27th and ends exactly two weeks later noon EST on Saturday, September 10th.

The second round begins noon today, September 17th, and ends two weeks later, on noon saturday, October 1st, or when both matches are over. Times are EST, which means that the round began a short while ago, actually.

Here are the brackets for round 2:
1. Luigi-San VS Keitaro
2. Kyouji Craw VS Clockworkz

Kirbynite and Hiryuu both recieve byes and will not battle this round in order to preserve a full bracket for the semifinals.

Additionally, matches in this round and on are best two of three battle format.

Time for round three, the semifinals...

1. Hiryuu VS Kyouji Craw
2. Kirbynite VS Keitaro

Matches end noon EST on Saturday, October 15th.

Erm.. um.. I need to be given some time, though. I've got a new computer, and I uninstalled the netebattle from the other computer without remembering to put a copy of my teams..

Same here, considering it's a bit sudden. I doubt I'll fly far but hell...I haven't had the opportunity to lay waste to people since G/S/C...why the hell not, indeed.

I think I've got an idea for one at least...haven't been able to test shit though.

By the by, do we have to use the same team every match or no?

Thanks for bringing that up. I've added the following to the initial post:

"7. Still, you cannot change your team once the tournament gets going. I will require people to post their teams, including EV spreads, before the tournament begins in order to enforce this. (You don't need to post your team now, however, since I'm sure many of you won't have a team ready for awhile.)"

I've got a test one done, but only because I have no clue how the software works.

Figure I'll get Colleen in and have him nuked as a test subject.

Sign me up, I'll figure out Netbattle on my own time...

Also, I know it's kind of a caper, but do you think the Eevee evolutions should be restricted, too? Jolteon in particular becomes one of the fastest pokemon out there, and Espeon and Umbreon are really strong, as well.

Why did I figure you'd say something like that...

Oh well. If I have to be a test subject and install the program, then I suppose I have no excuses. I'm in.

Jolteon is indeed quite fast, but like many pokes, it falls to Dugtrio and its Arena Trap. Jolt's hidden power isn't strong enough to KO, and it can do nothing else while Trio Earthquakes for the win. And that's just one counter. (Another would be anything faster; Aerodactyl, Ninjask, etc.) As always, good prediction skills are the win. Everyone should have Pseudohazers, too, which negate the threat of Umbreon... And Espeon isn't that strong (and really, has nothing on Blissey). Thus, I can confidently say... No.

And then you started owning with another one...I countered you back...you countered me back...we stopped and I could swear I could take you again with another one I put in.

Just goes to show you...I'm pretty damn sure there isn't a perfect team on this damn thing. :\

Because double battles are broken as hell. The best team should never have things that do nothing but explode =/
