"Two Years Ago, It Thrived" Pokemon Ocean

This died a long time ago, you're really not going to get anything out of it these days

Pokémon Ocean Tour

,


Pokémon Ocean is holding a Pokémon tour! (tournament)

Rules will be explained in detail after the 'Read More' break. If you want to sign up for the tourney, write a comment in this post!

There will be a prize (a secret Pokémon) for the winner! The way the tour will work depends on how many people choose to enter. Also in partnership with Magnezone World, the winner also recieves a ballot to play against the winner of February 2008 Magnezone Tournament if they so wish. Read More... for more.

You must always use a team of 6 Pokémon. This tournament, unlike others, will be held in a weekly fasion. It will be were Round One lasts a week long (7 days). This tournament will also be held in elimination style, meaning, "Win or Go Home" just like sport playoffs.

You may not use ubers or hacked Pokémon. Ubers are a tier of Pokémon that are "too good"; if they are put in a team they give a heavy unfair adantage to the user. This is the list of ubers:
Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys (All forms)
Dialga
Giratina
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latias - (is uber with or without soul dew)
Latios - *see Latias*
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Wobbuffet

Sleep clause will be in effect for all battles. The sleep clause is: You may not put more than one of your opponent's Pokémon to sleep at any point. Self-induced sleep (such as sleep caused by Rest) does not add to this.

You must always use a team of 6 Pokémon of unique species (you can't have 2 Garchomps, for instance). Your team may change when your opponent changes.

You may not use the following moves in battle: Double Team, Minimize, Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, and Sheer Cold.

You may not use 'luck' items. Luck items are those that rely on or boost luck, including Scope Lens, Razor Claw, Focus Band, and more. A luck item either randomly increases attack or evasiveness.

In the event of a draw (from a recoiling move or other self-KOing move), the user of the self-KOing move loses the match.

More rules may be added later, when we have a better idea of how many will be competing. Until then, comment here to sign up or ask any questions! This is a Diamond/Pearl tournament, and no battles will take place in Pokémon Battle Revolution.

Ryan 30. January 2008, 04:01

Jirachi is NOT classified as an UBer, so you may use it...
If it is not on that Uber list you can use it...

jdbrady, your in...

MJ 30. January 2008, 04:07

I told you im out, the rules are dumb.

Ryan 30. January 2008, 04:14

They arnt dumb!, go to a competive tourny for once, or read about the COMPETITIVE METAGAME

Ryan 30. January 2008, 05:16

In case anyone else wants to noobishly argue about wether sleep cluase if dumb, which it isnt in anyway, here are some things...

example:

MJ sent out yanmega
Ultimategamer sent out bronzong

-protect
-Stealth Rocks

then you hypnosis the entire dang team and win becuase ulti cant touch the dam bug...

which is a noobish way to win, and a cheap one at that...
Sleep cluase was even broadend becuase of that bug...
also becuase of breloom's 100% spore and subpunching...

THAT IS WHY THERE IS A FAIR PLAY SLEEP CLUASE IN TODAYS METAGAME!

instead of noobishly sleep of the team that shows absolutly no skill or talent what so ever, the player actually has to show some dang skill and play around and with the sleep cluase, making it a hell of a better game...

Sleep clause is in effect because using spore over and over again is a VERY cheap thing to do. If this were allowed, teams would have to change stratigies alot in order to counter this, which would be overcentralizing the metagame.



Sleep clause is a standard rule in competitive tourneys. It prevents Pokemon with a sleep move from putting your entire team to sleep then sweeping easily. I've done tourneys without sleep clause and I'll tell you they aren't very fun just waiting to wake up or setting an easy sweep in somethings face

Basically with sleep clause you just inflict the sleep condition on one at a time. However, if your opponent is resting you may still sleep something if nothing else has been slept.
It's a real basic rule in competitive Pokemon battles.



you need to learn about the cluases everyone, it is important if you wish to be successful in the future if you want to play competitively, and get out of the whole :cluases are dumb: becuase it makes you sound like a complete noob.

UltimateGamer 30. January 2008, 12:29

There isn't much of a future for pokemon unless Platinum comes out, but ok.

Reuel Woodhouse 30. January 2008, 14:23

Ryan 30. January 2008, 14:31

Time is not a problem....

every round lasts up to a week long, you can battle your opponent in that timeframe.
