Hey! So I know a lot of older members used to hold these alot, so I thought i'd try my hand at it

 

Spoiler

If you want my qualifications I was a mod at a pokemon site I know how to handle pkmn tourneys

 

I'm looking for at least four members, but more is fine too! It's gonna be a single elimination to make it so we can blast through the tournament in a day, and depending on how much time and what people want we have it'll be a best of 3.

I already have myself, Trece, and Felixx down. One more is perfect, but if more people want to join then 8 is a great number too. If we have 8 bo3 might be a bit too much but we'll see

We'll be using pokemon showdown, an online simulator, so no console necessary, just an internet connection and a computer/phone. And for anyone worried about the phone version don't be, it's really good and simple to use.

We'll be playing 6v6 singles, and we can decide on the specific ruleset later. If we get at least one more person we'll be holding the tournament tomorrow, and I'll have a challonge up to keep track of the brackets.

 

Sound any good? Then please reply!

EDIT: We have our competitiors!

Just now, Azure Flame said:

Oh, thought Joker won lol, hadn't seen the battle yet lol

So it's me and you! Should I send the challenge?

 

Sure!

Oof

Just beat 2 Quid, was a good match

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-827094361

Okay so in the final its Trece vs Azure Flame!

 

And for the third place match we have 2 quid vs Yessie!

It was really close, but Xam beat me

Lol, I think I was the only one who didn't use Ash-Greninja, opting for Protean instead XD

So here's the third place battle: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-827099668

Congrats to everyone! Even those who lost! Including me... XD

That Azumarril is scary.

 

So, in 1st we have Xam, 2nd is myself, and 3rd is 2 Quid.  This was really fun!

had fun i need to learn types and weakness tho so i can play better

That would definitely help.

 

I think it'd be cool to do different tournaments, with the different tiers. like a little cup (base form Pokémon like Charmander and Pichu) and Ubers (those deemed too strong for OU, generally the most powerful Legendaries)

This whole thing was over pretty quick, even with people taking breaks to watch replays and stuff! I definitely think we can do this again. Oh and btw here are the final standings:

8th - Youyousuf
7th - Joker
6th - AngelTheWeirdStranger
5th - Felixx
4th - Yessie Maltese
3rd - 2 quid is good
2nd - Azure Flame
1st- Trece whatever his username is now

Congratulations to everyone! That was really fun!  

So if we were going to do this again what would be the best time for you guys? We might stay with singles, or do a doubles tournament even. I prefer doubles tbh, I think it's more fun. But I'll let you guys decide. And I guess instead of making more threads we can just keep this one going.

 

Also, because of how fast this tournament went, I think it would be nice if all the matches were best of 3, that way everyone gets to play at least two games. But that could take significantly longer....

 

Anyway, these are all just suggestions for now, but I definitely want the next tournament to be soon if that's okay with you guys!
