Kurotsune Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 We'll get to that in a minute. First and foremost congratulations to the winner of the double dragons tourney, Vlado Vladmir! I promise you'll get your pokémon sometime this century. Now onto better things. The theme of the next tour is pretty pokémon! Or, specifically, the pokémon me and Amethyst find pretty. Here's the list of acceptable pokémon: Amethyst's gemstones charmander raichu nidoran m clefairy clefable vulpix ninetales wigglytuff venomoth meowth growlithe ponyta rapidash seel dewgong haunter cubone marowak horsea seadra goldeen staryu starmie lapras ditto eevee vaporeon jolteon flareon articuno dratini dragonair mew chikorita bayleef meganium quilava typhlosion sentret furret ledian ariados lanturn pichu cleffa togetic mareep flaaffy ampharos bellossom marill azumarill politoed hoppip skiploom jumpluff aipom sunflora wooper quagsire espeon umbreon misdreavus heracross senasel teddiursa corsola remoraid skarmory kingdra phanpy porygon2 smeargle blissey raikou suicune celebii treecko torchic mudkip poocheyena linoone beautifuly dustox taillow swellow ralts kirlia gardevoir masquerain whismurr azurill skitty delcatty sableye mawile aron electrike manectric plusle minun volbeat illumise roselia grumpig spinda vibrava flygon swablu altaria zangoose corphish lileep cradily milotic castform shuppet banette duskull chimecho absol wynaut snorunt glalie spheal sealeo gorebyss latias latios jirachi starly shinx luxio luxray roserade mothim pachirisu buizel floatzel cherubi cherrim ambipom buneary lopunny mismagius glameow riolu lucario finneon lumineon mantyke weavile togekiss leafeon glaceon gallade froslass porygonz rotom azelf cresellia phione manaphy victini oshawott dewott lillipup herdier purrloin liepard simipour munna murshna woobat swoobat audino leavanny cottonee whimsicott petilil lilligant tirtouga zorua zoroark minccino cinccino gothita gothorita gothitelle solosis duosion reuniclus swanna vanillite vanillish vanilluxe deerling sawsbuck emolga foongus frillish jellicent almomola joltik litwick lampent chandelure mienfoo mienshao pawniard vullaby mandibuzz deino zweilous hydreigon larvesta volcarona keldeo meloetta chespin fennekin braixen frogadier fletchling fletchinder vilvillon litleo flabebe floette florges skiddo pancham espurr meowstic honedge doubleade spritzee aromatisse swirlix slurpuff inkay malamar skrelp dragalge amaura aurorus sylveon dedenne goomy sligoo goodra klefki phantump pumpkaboo gourgeist noibat noivern diancie Kurotsune's lovelies bulbasaur ivysaur charmander squirtle caterpie butterfree weedle pikachu raichu clefairy clefable vulpix jigglypuff wigglytuff oddish venonat diglett poliwag ponyta seel dewgong chansey tangela eevee flareon omanyte dratini mew chikorita cyndaquil quilava totodile sentret furret ledyba ledian spinarak pichu cleffa igglybuff togepi mareep flaaffy bellossom marill azumarill hoppip jumpluff wooper misdreavus teddiursa swinub delibird phanpy magby miltank blissey celebi treecko torchic combusken mudkip poochyena zigzagoon linoone wurmple beautifly taillow wingull ralts kirlia surskit masquerain shroomish whimsur azurill skitty mawlie plusle minun gulpin spoink spinda altaria castform wynaut spheal turtwig chimcharr piplup starly shinx luxio budew mothim combee pachirisu buizel cherubi cherrim lopunny mismagius honchkrow happiny gible munchlax riolu skorupi finneon mantyke froslass azelf phione manaphy victini snivy tepig oshawott lillipup purrloin munna musharna pidove woobat audino sewaddle swadloon whimsicott petillil lilligant sandile darumaka dwebble zorua(duh) minccino cinccino gothorita solosis duosion reuniclus vanillite vanillish deerling emolga karrablast frillish joltik litwick axew golett rufflet deino volcarona keldeo meloetta chespin fennekin braixen froakie bunnelby fletchling litleo floette skiddo espurr spritzee inkay tyrunt sylveon dedenne noibat hoopa diancie How is this going to work? Well, this tourney will be divided in two stages: First stage, the walkway: Each team will be scrutinized by the judges, and rated with grades through 1 to 10. T This criteria will work as it follows: 1-> Every team must have a theme, and this theme has to be the guiding choice behind every pokémon choice and every move chosen. I.E. if you're picking a theme of "dancers", there better be some dance moves in there! 2-> Every team must be composed solely of pokémon from either list. You don't have to pick just from one list, you can have any pokémon in either. 3-> Every pokémon must be named! The names might follow the theme, a theme of their own, or no theme at all, I just wanna see some creative naming here. (All forum rules apply. If you name a pokémon "dickbutt" you're immediately disqualified. Please, try me.) The second stage is the simpler one - The battle stage! After all, what's the use of a pretty pokémon if it can't fight? The battle portion will be more straightforward. "But Kuro!" You cry out, "there's clearly unbalanced choices in that list!" yep, there most certainly are. Good luck trying to fit them all in the same theme, though, and good luck convincing the judges the theme will be good if you do so. Just picking the strongest choices here isn't the way to go; It's picking the mons you like and making them fit a theme and working around those constraints. Each stage will be worth 50 points. Everyone can get the maximum of 50 points in the first stage, but only one person will get the 50 points in the second stage (the second will get 40, the third 30, the fourth 20 and the fifth place 10, though additional battles may be necessary to determine these positions) Whoever gets the most points is the winner. Should there be a tie, the winner will be decided by the judges based on overall performances. EDIT:Oh right The tour will be october 4th at 4PM EST, and the prize will be Salamence. The general rules apply - The tour will be OU, so no ubers allowed! I also really want to see some unconventional choices, so keep that in mind when choosing your mons. If you just cherry pick from the OU tier, odds are I won't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagoen Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 wait... so i actually have to make a themed team for this??? these tours are getting mad complicated ;-; sarcasm aside, may the most bootiful battler get teh mighty salamence \o/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumble Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 This seems very similar to a Pokemon Contest (anime version), doesn't it? First there's the move presentation (which would be the theme and nicknames) and then there's the battling itself. I see Spoink and Grumpig made it to the cut-offs. c: This is probably going to be a very popular tournament since Garchomp's gone and Salamence is here, so good luck to the competitors, and hopefully I remember to watch~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I don't think a single one of my top 10 Pokemon even made it into either list... oh wait Mane is there but that's a bout it lol. I think these lists are just anti-Hukuna. So I'll pass. I'm actually more passing cause I'd feel horrible if I won since I don't paly the game lol. I hope you guys have fun though lol.

Odybld Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Can we also have a theme song for our team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mde2001 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 This sounds cool. I'll try to join in if it works timing wise (given I'm on holidays it should!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odybld Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Ok,a better question dawned me. Are Megas of these cuties allowed? Are Uber Megas banned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurotsune Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Ok,a better question dawned me. Are Megas of these cuties allowed? Are Uber Megas banned? As always, the tour will be OU, so no ubers will be allowed. Megas are fine as long as they're in keeping with your theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead account Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Welp. Looks like I have no chance at getting a Salamence. At least my horrible attempt at a team will look pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnocentSerenity Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I've already got a nice, but admittedly obvious, theme in mind. I wish everyone the best of luck, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaymondNotRay Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 What an interesting theme for a tournament. How fitting it is, though. My lights team is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Chaos Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Goddang it, i had a really cool theme team that doesn't work cuz no love for slowbro or nosepass :l BACK TO THE LAB Is dopey an acceptable name if it has nothing to do with drugs?

dead account Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 So, what is the minimum amount of moves in a Pokemon's moveset that should fit the given theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurotsune Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 So, what is the minimum amount of moves in a Pokemon's moveset that should fit the given theme? All of them. Unless it's otherwise impossible. But since everything here is basically worth points, the more related to the theme everything is, the more points you'll get.

Sheep Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Can I make a team for this and submit it regardless of the fact that I can't make the competition's time slot? Also is there going to be one in the future with Tyranitar as a giveaway or is this just limited to dragons?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickCrash Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Can I make a team for this and submit it regardless of the fact that I can't make the competition's time slot? As long as it does not include a Heracross... It seems Kuro does not really enjoy fully evolved forms, while Ame put some ugly pokemon in there like Skarmory and Dragalge to give us variety. Also, can someone base their team around an anime or book, or will that be out of the question due to evaluation problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurotsune Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Have come up with a team for the theme of night. Is this too vague or acceptable. Any theme is acceptable, the point is execution. Though creativity will be rated. Can I make a team for this and submit it regardless of the fact that I can't make the competition's time slot? Also is there going to be one in the future with Tyranitar as a giveaway or is this just limited to dragons?? You're almost certain not to win since the battle portion is worth just as many points as the team portion, but you can try. As long as it does not include a Heracross... It seems Kuro does not really enjoy fully evolved forms, while Ame put some ugly pokemon in there like Skarmory and Dragalge to give us variety. Also, can someone base their team around an anime or book, or will that be out of the question due to evaluation problems? Amethyst legitimately finds those pokémon cute. She's insane. And again, any theme is viable. Though you run the risk of the judges not knowing the source material which would probably hinder the effort.
