[Gandalay4]

[Mastadi]

[Alaka]

[Olimarman]

I'd like to enter please, I already have a few ideas for teams.

 

[TDS]

I want in please I vote OU doubles
ALso I think it should be showdown rules

 

[Raistmagic]

I'll participate!
For fun! :)

 

[Sunday]

Hey where's my reserved spot? :P

 

[Dalevl]

I'll join but it should be Showdown Rules not only because you actually have to be more creative since you are more limited in space, easier to construct for Wi-Fi, and it follows the Offical Format ;)

 

[Alaka]

but then i can't use my celebi :'{

 

[burnpsy]

Everyone will just spam sleep then...

 

[brobot]

I will join.
I pretty much suck at doubles but with some practice i might not be eliminated right off the bat.

 

[Dragonknight!]

is the official showdown tournament 6v6?

 

[Goodbar]

There are ways of countering that, and in doubles I have to imagine its easier.

I also implied that I wanted in kenfag

And it's 4vs4 iirc

It was my idea :( <sorta; most of it>

Erm...if we're playing with item clause then we have Chesto Berry and Lum Berry. As well, the Smeargle + Bronzong set up requires trick room, which means you can have something Safeguard as Smeargle Protects and Bronzong Trick Rooms.

 

[Dragonknight!]

actual, i play doubles occcasionally in local tournaments, and dark void sash or scarfed dark void smeargle=omfgwtfisthisshitihatethisgame.

EDIT: dawnbringer brings a brilliant point. maybe the local people are just super noobs.

 

[Kenshin]

Alright people, because Dawnbringer has inspired us, it will be showdown rules!


But now we need to discuss:

6 v 6

or

4 v 4?

 

[Alaka]

4v4 let's go all out showdown :/

 

[Sunday]

6's.

Forces people to think more about pokemon that mesh together as a whole not just two 2x pokemon combo's. Also gives more room to move and prolongs what we already know to be rather short battles.

 

[DawnBringer]

Ahahaha, I win.

4v4.

Showdown all the way (especially for people who can't go...like me...Canada >.>).

6v6 can also be duos...I don't see how changing the number of pokemon suggests there would be more synergy.

I'm not complaining about the short battles, and since it's WiFi. The animations are going to take a helluva long time for 4 pokemon. However, if people do complain about "short battles", then you can obviously make it out of 3. Which would most likely take the same time as a normal "competitive" battle.

 

[lati0s]

if were going with showdown rules we should do 4v4 because thats the format the showdown will be in.

personally though I'm against showdown rules as they are definitely not the most competitive

i second that, 4v4 with best two out of three

 

[Goodbar]

Hey dawnbringer is stealing my idea, bad dbr go back to narnia where giant asians live!

Also I would hardly say this is less competitive, there are no "broken" strategies/pokemon as far as I heard from the last showdown so that says enough.

And short battles probably won't be a big deal like dbr said, double elimination would be a good idea so at minimum you'd fight 2 battles

Whats the point? You already know their team, unless you want to make 3 separate teams.

I think 4v4 though.

 

[Kenshin]

I always liked the idea of double elimination, writing in now.

and i beleive 4v4, OU doubles with showdown rules and double elimination is the way this is rolling.

yeah, three teams, like in that battle tower tourney
