Drought + Chlorophyll:
As I explained to Blaze in the chatroom on P-O, I had honestly quite forgotten about Gary having a Ninetales ... even though I was the one who wrote it on the very first day in Post #1 of this thread. ^^; Had I remembered that, I would have probably banned Drought Ninetales. However, my mind was so focused on Drizzle Politoed + Swift Swim Kingdra or Hydration {various} that it completely slipped past me. However, I quite like the idea of Green having a Drought Ninetales. A, he's supposed to be one of the most powerful trainers that ever was. He became the Champion at the age of 10, only a year into his training. He then went on to become the owner of the renovated Viridian City gym at the young age of 13. So I quite fancy the idea that Green ought to be somebody who is very, very difficult to defeat. Even Lance lost to him in the story. (And apparently history repeated itself today in the match. ^^; ) Whether Red can withstand him or not remains to be seen -- Blaze is taking the competitive aspects of this tournament a leeeeettle too seriously XD and with his huge arsenal of Pokémon and my pretty predictable seven, he already has the metagame upper-hand in terms of being able to craft a team hand-picked to beat mine. But even I welcome that challenge. It's okay if I lose to Gary. 'Cause if I beat Gary ... oh yeah. *puts on shades* In our practice matches, I won the first round, but then he figured out my team and won the next two while switching things up on his end. It's a very uphill battle, and I encourage everyone to try and check it out whenever it happens. Tournament Standings: The battle video logs and the tournament standings have both been updated. I have an exam tonight so (1) no battles for me and (2) you guys can suffer the lack of an updated image file for one night, can't you? But in the mean time, all of the newest battle videos and scores are posted. Please check your scores! If you think I got a number wrong, let me know. Please check to see that all of your rounds are in the battle video log section! If there are any missing battles, it means I didn't get a tournament battle log. If it wasn't posted, please post it here. If there wasn't one, I'll need both of you to PM me confirmation regarding who won. If there was one and it was also posted, then I missed it, and would appreciate it if you just PM'd me the link. I apologize for missing any links I may have missed. Went through the thread pretty meticulously but you guys just keep battling while I try to edit these posts! Disqualifications Section On Hold: Like I said, I have an exam here in a few hours and still haven't prepped dinner, so yeah. That's going to have to wait until tomorrow. For now ... just don't break any rules! XP If you have questions or concerns, post them here. Thanks.

Another match for a win. This one was a little bit more undecided than the last two, but, this was still a good one and I enjoyed it.

Talon you are such a fanboy. Did you set this whole thing up for your sick, perverse desires?
Ps. That's a joke. XP |

I'll put this in words you guys can understand:
CLOP CLOP CLOP CLOP Jokes aside, glad you enjoyed the mini essay. At least one person read it! But yeah. That's how I see this tourney. That's how I'd love for you all to see this tourney. This was never, ever about being very serious. It was meant, and continues to be meant to be, a laid-back, fun tourney where we try to bring these characters to life and pit them against one another. It's like ... haven't you ever wondered who would win in a re-match between Blue and Red? Haven't you ever wondered who would win between Red and Cynthia? Haven't you ever wondered how the f00k Wallace replaced Steven as Hoenn's champ? Haven't you ever wondered why two of the four original Elite Four are gone but Bruno's still around while Lance fills in for Red as Kanto Champ? Even if our battles can't answer those questions -- even if the outcomes of our battles produce the opposite outcomes we may desire to see unfold -- the very fact that these clashes are happening should be like a thermite ball, sparking everyone's imaginations and making them wonder, "Hey yeaaaaaah ... I doooooooo wonder who would win between Bruno and Koga! And yeaaaaah .... I dooooooo wonder who would win between Alder and Cynthia! Oh man, this is so neat! " People can walk away from this tournament and fanfic it up (not literally, I just mean in their minds they can XP) and imagine all sorts of ramifications from a Champion League were we to ever see one in the anime and were it to be an all-inclusive rumble 'n' tumble between all 5+ regions. Can you seriously imagine a competition where the likes of Cynthia, Steven, Alder, and the mythical Red all do battle in order to attain the title of Pokémon Master? It's cool stuff.

Wish Salamence seems kinda borked. Salamence gets it from glitched breeding with NYPC Wish Blissey. It's not really designed to have Wish. While it's "legal" in the sense that you could get it in the game, it's comes at the price of a possible save data corruption in-game. No penalty on PO.

I am on if you want to battle!
Also, Green may be weak to Daisy birds. I lost, by a lot. ;;

Alder wins. Accelgor and Stuffalont performed nicely. Alder loses rather pitifully to a Cloyster.

Alder wins! It was a close match, but flamehead prevailed in the end. Stu and Druddigon starred in this match.

I'll post the video later, but Koga vs Cynthia has been completed. Suffice to say it was a total whitewash, and I suck at representing Koga ;;.

No one's approached me asking for permission to change anything. I thought I'd throw out there (as an example) that I am okay with letting Xander replace Dive on his Slowbro with something else and to hell with the rest of you if you say he can't do it. That stated, yeah , to keep things fair, for the most part making changes is banned. If you've royally botched any EV spreads and would like to re-do them, notify me and we'll see what we can do. Worst case scenario, you forfeit any matches which you may have won while using your old EV spreads. But it's something to think about if you think you've got the wrong EVs or strategy or something. It's kind of like declaring bankruptcy: it's something that comes with penalties to prevent everybody from doing it, but when you're penniless, it's certainly an option to consider. Same principle applies here. If something is costing you matches which shouldn't be, I'm open to letting you change it. You'll just have to pay the price (i.e. forfeiting previous wins accrued with the old method).
Will update the scoreboard and the scoreboard image some time later today.

I have to say, I LOVE that Hitmonchan. I finally know what to breed for when I get my DS back.
