I'd be in sign me up asap! Go team Amphoros

But these kinds of tournaments, Pokemon specifically, are so easy to cheat at it's not even funny.  I don't have a DS anymore, but when I once had an R4DS, I could easily hack all of my Pokemon, with a simple program, to be shiny or not, have the best abilities, best attitude/personality, best EV...  You can practically do anything you want without going through the effort of actually training them.  And there's no real way to verify if your opponent's Pokemon are actually legit or not.

Sure, I'd be in for this, as long as it doesn't become *too* hard finding my designated opponent for a match...
 
If match ups become too hard the whole thing could just be done on an alternative points basis, where users get awarded a certain amount of points for each battle they participate in and every match they win. 1 point for a loss, 2 for a draw, 3 for a win, something like that. Then have the four top users square off for the finals at the end.
 
Edit: by the way, just for people wanting to know what standard rules are, here's a link. While these may seem a bit overly complicated and restrictive at first they really do make the game that much more fair. Link'd.

Pokemon battle revolution would make this a lot easier.

Too many cheaters. I can't imagine its that hard to hack a pokemon game

" Too many cheaters. I can't imagine its that hard to hack a pokemon game "

so..... how should we get this going?

I would be in for a tourney sometime.  If we get enough interest, I say that we do level brackets.  Not all of us have Pokemon that are over level 50...

ITS ON!

" @Spiral_Stars:  Those some bad rules bro not gonna lie. (not trying to be a douche D:) Lvl 100  Single Any items of any amount. No legends or banned pokemon (go look that up if you dont know) No hacked pokemon or anything like that. NO FUCKING BLISSEYS D: (this is a pokemon on my list of pokemon that just needs to get banned.) "

I actually wouldn't mind giving online battling a go right at this moment. Just to see what the competition around here is like.

I'll leave my DS on FREE SINGLE for a while if any of you people so choose to join. Bring whatever pokemon and whatever level.

@Kowbrainz:

I think we should all get in a chat room/skype call and discuss the rules for the tourny if this is actually going to happen.

I just had a thought... but if we decide to go ahead with the whole "battle whoever you want and get points for each battle" format instead of a regular tournament structure, then I guess rules could be done on a player-by-player basis. Have standard rules in the topic's first post but if two members agree to a ruleset of their own they can go by that instead, have standard rules there just incase people can't agree to something. Guess the finals could be more organised and follow a set of rules more strictly, but in the end this is only for fun so the rulesets for most battles should probably reflect that.

If I remember to pick up a DS Wi-Fi dongle, and if I can beat the Elite 4 and transfer over my Dragonite by the time of the tournament, I'll most definitely enter.
