UPN Monotype Tournament; Take 2
Hello!
As our forum's previous monotype tournament went unfinished and we could use a bit more activity among our community, I think another tourney would be a fun thing for all of us to enjoy. We shall be using the same rules/banlist as the previous tourney, and the format may be the same if you all prefer that (Round Robin). However, before we start anything, let's have at least 9 people sign up before April 3rd. We can discuss any changes, additions, and deletions from the rules if you wish. Unfortunately, due to aesoft being down, we will have to forgo replays this time around. Anyway, sign up! The sooner the better! |

First of all, we can still replay on Pokemon Showdown.
Second of all, signing up. |

Signing up for it, on Pokémon-Online.
Also, Melo's been released now: kosher or not? |

I don't know why people hate on PS so much.
Signing up, PS or PO, but realize if you want replays PS is the way to go. The question being: are we going to allow Pokemon that were banned last tournament but are not Uber, such as Deoxys-D, Kyurem, and Keldeo? I think a considerable thought also has to go towards the weather starters, though probably not sand since it is not that broken.

People who get pissy at the mention of Smogon need to put on their big girl panties, suck it up, and deal that frankly their the best source for this sort of thing and that making an individual list would take forever.
Also sign me up, but only if it'll be on PO. |

And all three of those Pokemon can easily be beaten by others(we are not counting the macaw thing), so it is not a big deal.

To give an easy-to-appreciate example, Vulpix is not considered a Smogon über but it is considered an über (and thus is banned) in P-O Monotype because Monotype is a different beast from 6v6 Singles and not every monotype team can be expected to "JUST DEAL " with insta+perma-weather. Similarly both Hippowdon and Hippopotas are banned, not just the adult. Abomasnow and Snover are P-O Monotype legal, it would appear, because I guess Hail teams aren't considered a big enough threat? I wonder what Kuno would have to say to that.

What's the word on Hidden Abilities? Some, if not many, of us cannot be arsed to keep up with what's been released or not, although I think almost everything has been at some point or another. So are all hidden abilities more or less kosher (barring the few explicitly banned, I mean)?

I think they should all be kosher for this tourney, honestly. Just makes sense.

Honestly, I disagree. We have no word about how Contrary Serperior will rock the meta. No real playtesting has been done. We don't know about checks or counters or anything.

But we're not talking meta here. We're taking about a UPN monotype tourney.
How the fuck is Kyurem-B OU? |

It's pretty clear that you just want to argue as if you know everything, Blaze, especially since you're spouting nonsense now like "we don't have any data on Contrary Serperior" despite his being in use for years on P-O's DW OU tier. No idea about checks or counters? Try this from your own precious Smogon!

See also: P-O's article on DW OU Serperior "No data." For God's sake, get your head out of Smogon's ass and realize that they are not the be all, end all solution to all your Pokémon problems.

Kyurem-B in all honesty isn't that good. The lack of an Ice-stab, weakness to Stealth Rock, weakness to priority, and lackluster speed let it down. I can see it being powerful in Monotype, but not powerful enough where it will bring problems. The 95 base speed is not that kind to it. All in all, we should have fun with it. I still want a NO on unreleased Dream World abilities though.

*Appears* I'm willing to enter, PO or PS, although I'm probably fucked.

If unreleased Dream World abilities are allowed, I would think it safe to assume that Shadow Tag Chandy won't be allowed?
I am going to look on Serebii to see who doesn't have their Dream World abilities, but Lightningrod Zapdos and Snow Cloak Articuno come to mind. Found a list: Spoiler: show

Gee, Brain...
|
If there's a PO Monotype Ban-List, would that be better to use?
I'm in in principle. Perhaps we could make it doubles or something for variety? |

Doubles sounds interesting. I would be in for it.

Sign me up! I'd personally prefer PO.
...Having been the flying representative last time, I'm a little on the fence about allowing it both Multiscale Dragonite (Oh boy, that brings back good memories of the prediction wars last time...) AND the Therian Genies. Gotta say, though, really looking forwards to this because the 'Select nine use six' format is FANTASTIC. Just. So awesome. |
