This "anything goes" legendary rule has me nervous. It's either going to be a ton of fun or really dumb because somebody rolls everyone with Power Herb Xerneas or something lol.

When are we getting started @goranp?

Anyway just a heads to everyone who was either in the last season or expressed some interest in joining, signups are open.

@sleepoverking, @jjor64, @aajf, @hennet_sim, @theblue, @spaceboat, @crusader8463, @drfidget, @generic_username

And as always anyone wandering into this thread is more then welcome to join.

Hehe, I kind of just patched my team up with some legendaries I happened to have lying around, so there's very little actual thought put into it. It should be fun.

Not going to enter this time around. Have fun without me guys.

I should have my team finalized by tomorrow. Still experimenting with what I've got. This season's going to be weird and awesome.

Are legendaries mandatory this season, or can I just toss in a regular team for kicks?

I can't see why that would be a problem.

Gonna watch SleepoverKing enter and somehow wipe the floor with everyone.

Alright, awesome, I'll send my team over to GoranP ASAP.

I doubt I'll be wiping the floor with anyone, but I'm excited to see how it does either way!

Ha, whoops! I was gonna finally sign up for this but I totally spaced it out. =/ Oh well, maybe next time.

Also I can offer the winner some pretty rad Pokemon as prizes, if you guys are down with that.

Ah, I wound up missing the signups. That's what I get for going out of town and staying away from a computer for the weekend. Oh well, I'm pretty likely to sign up next time. Good luck, guys!

I'm willing to wait an extra day or two for @turtlebird95 and @generic_username to get their teams in.

Awesome! I should be all signed up on the site now. I'll have my team ready and PM it to you sometime tomorrow if that's alright.

Glad to get to join!

Just battled OhpMckenzie and won 2-0

The second game isn't as interesting because a lucky crit pretty much just ended it on turn 1...

Yeah it's pretty unfortunate, but that's pokemen for ya. Even if that didn't happen, I'd have to make some amazing predicts to counter mega mewtwo as it outsped everything on my team. Genesect can too with the scarf, but that's a bit easier to play around. I wanted to give myself a bit of a challenge by not using any of the stuff from the smogon "ubers" tier (as much as everyone hates that site) but it's gonna be tough. They are just way too powerful.

Yeah, Genesect at least couldn't take out Latios the same way, and if it did happen, he would be locked into Ice Beam, which lets Keldeo set up. Mega Charizard probably could have beaten Mewtwo Y's low defense, but, again, the crit...

Maybe immediately switching in Thundurus would have worked? By the time he came out, I didn't really care one way or another whether Mewtwo was paralyzed. I also couldn't counter Taunt him with Whimsicott because I have a defense boosting nature.

Mewtwo, Genesect, and Kyurem-B were pretty much the only legendaries I had, so that's the story behind that if anyone is wondering why I have the big guy.

I'm not totally sure. I haven't used this team in a single battle before this one since it's full of pokes I don't normally use, so I didn't have a concrete strategy coming in. All I probably could have done is send Thundurus in from the start and TWave right away. If that was the case though, you would have used ice beam instead of psyshock anyway so he'd be gone right off the bat and I really like having a prankster for later in the game. Even if I switched him in, I'm not totally sure he'd be able to live that psyshock anyway.

I mean, after Charizard was KOed. With only one Pokemon down, I'm not sure I would have stayed in to take the Thunder Wave just to get rid of Thundurus, because that would have effectively doomed Mewtwo to Garchomp. Gliscor also would have been able to stall forever without my speed advantage. It's hard to tell because that's like an entire battle that didn't happen.

Hahaha yeah, pretty much. Also after Charizard was KO'd I pretty much thought the battle was over anyway so I wasn't thinking at the top of my game.

Man, that was awesome! @turtlebird95 had me on my toes the whole time. It was a fun couple of matches.

@generic_username: Same here! That Ice Beam you did cannot be praised enough! Awesome play and fun matches!

Here are the replay codes, if anyone is interested.

Second one is definitely the better one to watch!

All of these battles are awesome, I can't wait to join back in on the fun in the next season!!

I think everything is going ok. Hunter and I are working on trying to figure out a time that works best for us. I've been swamped with work and home life so it's proving to be difficult to find a common time to meet up.

Sorry for the hold up, I'm actually going to have to drop out of the tourney; college has suddenly gotten very intense and doesn't show signs of slowing down for the next couple of weeks. Good luck to everyone else though!

So...is anyone else going to play their games? I'm guessing it's because most of us are going through finals and stuff, but it's been almost a week since anyone has posted.

Hunter won 2-0. I'm dropping out from the tournament. Not going to deal with all of the other teams with Ubers Pokemon on them. I'll be back next season.

The code for the first match is HMEG WWWW WWW7 BGGQ. Fragor withdrew late into the second match so I was not able to save the code. Sorry about how long it took everybody! We would've had it done a few days ago if I didn't have some system problems.

@darthorange has been pretty busy, I'll get back in touch with him sometime tomorrow!

@generic_username:

Honestly just go ahead and count me as a lose. I have been pretty busy and my team was a goofy all fighting Pokemon team that wasn't going to get very far anyway. Sorry peeps.

So are you dropping out of the whole tournament @darthorange? Asking cause we'd be matched up next.

Yup take the win and go forward to victory!

@darthorange: Damn I was hoping to use the Charmander you gave me against you at some point.

@ohpmckenzie and I just had our battles which I managed to win. I took the first match with a little help from some lucky misses. He thoroughly beat me in the second match. The third match seemed to be going the same way until my Mamoswine survived a key moment paving the way for a sweep and a narrow victory.

Just finished my battles with Generic_username. 2-0

The second battle got really close! Both of our teams had pretty hard swings.

6UJG-WWWW-WWW7-E4ZP

TTLW-WWWW-WWW7-E4P7

Yeah, those battles were great!

Also, this means I'm going up against @turtlebird95 again, which is funny.

@generic_username: Heh, awesome! Can't wait to get my ass kicked again lol.
