Speed Racer

Welcome, fools and ninnysacks! Within this thread you shall meet none other than your DOOM!

Because of some uneven numbers, a few people had to fight people outside of their point-range. Sorry about this.

Tournament Rules:
-Sleep Clause: you may not put more than one of your opponent's Pokemon to sleep at a time.
-Species Clause: your team must be comprised of six different species of Pokemon.
-Item Clause: No two Pokemon on your team may be holding the same item.
-Suicide Clause: If both players are down to their last Pokemon, the player with the first Pokemon to hit 0 HP is the loser. In other words, using moves like Self Destruct and Explosion cause you to lose, even if it kills your opponent. However, using a move with a recoil that kill both you and your opponent is a win for you.
-When a round begins, PM a list of which 6 species of Pokemon you're using to your opponent (while this is officially a rule, I can't technically enforce it, so obviously there's lots of leniency here). You must have your match and post the results in this thread within 24 hours of the round starting. If this does not happen, a judgment will be made on which player receives a bye to the next round. I will be the one making this judgment unless I'm one of the people who didn't do his round.
-I have the final say in any and all discrepancies, other than ones that I'm involved in.
-You must use the same six Pokemon with the same four moves for the duration of the entire tournament.
-No Legendary Pokemon whatsoever.
-No Wobbuffet, no Wynaut.
-Feel free to debate any of these rules up until the tournament starts. I'm plenty open-minded, but I'll only change a rule if I feel that the majority of players want it changed.
-Until the start of Round 1, these rules are subject to change.
-Breaking any of these rules will result in instant disqualification.

What this thread is for:

Until the 27th, this thread will be functioning as your standard Pokethread, with general discussion and such. Come Friday, I'm flipping this thread into tournament mode. General discussion is still permitted, but I'd prefer it if the discussion took a more tournament-centric turn. After the tournament's over, this will become the full-fledged Pokethread.

THE HALL OF HEY FUCK YOU FOR BEATING ALL OF US:

It is here where Tower Tycoons past have laid their almighty Pokemon teams to rest. Boo and hiss jealously as you plan your revenge against those who stand proudly in this hallowed part of the OP.

I am burning with excitement, but my opponent will not be available for a while. I guess I'll work on the next video. It is suspenseful!

Faustum

I too am burning with excitement but it is a little daunting to have to fight Munkus so early

Mahnmut

Pie -- the link to the PokeMart is BBbroken.

If you've won a game but still have zero points on the scoreboard, let me know. The tail-end of the last thread was moving pretty fast, what with all the "is Tyranitar uber" debating.

I won against Veitsev just now in a very intense battle. He basically had me running scared the first half until I could (amazingly) turn it around.

Buzz Buzz

The first latecomer to show up will be paired with Buzz Buzz, not BlueBlue. :P

BlueBlue

Ha, I was about to point that out, super beat'd.

Speed Racer

Oop, my mistake.

OldSundown

Woohoo! Now to get this thread to 100 pages before round 3.

OldSundown

Could someone let me borrow the Power item for Attack and Special Attack? Would make my day run a lot smoother.

Munkus Beaver

heatproof
heatproof
heatproof

Fuck you bronzshit

Speed Racer

Guys Munkus is trying to fake us out.

He's totally actually going with a heatproof one. He just wants all to think that he's gunning for Levitate.

Faustum

I have both fire and ground covered I just have to pray for the correct one

Munkus Beaver

4 out of 5 in my first batch were levitate. One had a super shit nature and levitate, so two nixed.

4 out of 5 of my last batch were heatproof. The one that didn't had a neutral nature, not that great.

4 out of 4 in this batch are heatproof.

The poke I used to breed was heatproof.

Munkus Beaver

5 out of 5 heatproof!

Taya

If I were to make a Bronzong, I would use Heatproof. Nobody is going to risk a ground attack on it anyway.

Munkus Beaver

And then you can't switch in on earthquake.

Taya

Yeah yeah.

I have guys that resist Earthquake already. Then again, I don't plan on ever using Bronzong anyway so it doesn't matter.

BlueBlue

My computer = break. Posting from my wii. What terrible timing.
Edit: Fixed it.... an ill omen?

Munkus Beaver

I mean what in the hell

The bronzong with the special defense boosting nature has a special D of 6

The one with the attack boosting nature has one of 7

Jammers

Does anyone have a Kelpsy Berry they could spare for me? I just messed up the EV's on one of my guys and I need to fix it.

Munkus Beaver

Ok, I need an IV check here.

I will give you a kelpsy berry for an IV check.

I'll help out if you can give me 5 minutes.

Oh ho ho, didn't see the dude above you needing a berry, I was just trying to help out, heh. Carry on.

Jammers

You have yourself a deal. Logging onto WiFi now.

Munkus Beaver

Huzza

After the IV check, I'll log off for a second to give the berry to one of the sordid fuckers.

Hey guys, serebii has a new comic up. You know, 'cause I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the hilarity.

I saw it. Ha Ha that one nosepass stole his hat. So damn funny. I shat myself from laughing so hard.

mystic_knight

That is absolutely the best webcomic ever.

Munkus Beaver

I'll give you a funnier comic, took me two seconds.

A trainer tosses out a pokeball.

It's alakazam!

Alakazam, use Disable!

Pokemon is already disabled!

Cut to the other poke, which is an alakazam in a wheelchair.

Is the disabled Alakazam frowning sadly?

Vray

The next comic features a quadriplegic Marill named "Bob".

Munkus Beaver

The alakazam in the wheelchair has his eyebrows down.

He expresses disapproval with the move.

I lol'd.

POASTING.

Possibly for great justice.

I'll need someone to help me trade-evolve one of my guys sometime tonight. I gotta level him up a little bit more first, though.

I think it'd be better if he just looked hurt and sad.

All staring at the ground.

ChopperDave

I have to tradeback for an evolve too, so I can help you with that.

Or... ChopperDave can beat me to it. Fine. Whatever.

TyrantCow

how is it that the first comic was actually better?
