If that tour is going to be run, it should be named battle factory II imo. They are both the same except BF had 3 pokemon while this has 6
how about something similar to the battle...arcade is that what is was called? Each player makes their OU team, but each battle has an event, like all your pokemon have to have x berry, or toxic orb (this happens after you make your team, so no toxic heal abuse) etc.
This sounds fantastic. Would they be able to switch tiers each round, or would they have to stick with, say, WIFI OU Doubles if they chose it in the beginning? Also, the main reason this sounds fantastic is... Generating more interest in multi-Pokemon battles! Have you seen how many people are usually on the ladders? :(
What about. hmm.. we make teams and submit them to a person, the person gives the teams random numbers. and then the people who have joined will pick a number without knowing the team, and so will his opponent and they will have to battle with the team whose number they chose?
I'm enjoying the sound of the Battle Factory style Tour. (BF is my favorite facility <3), I also like tours that it takes a team effort like the...erm Teambats? or whatever they are called. We should get x amount of teams of 6. pick a Tier, then each member is allowed to choose a pokemon in that tier, make a set, and give it to the leader (Which will also make a pokemon)..To limit the same Pokemon (Say the #1 most used) from being choose by everyone, you could assign each member a range of numbers they can pick from. So...Player 1 can choose from Pokemon Ranked 1-10, Player 2 11-20 ect ect. This way you don't see only the top 10 pokemon on EVERY team, you get to use the lesser used ones also..
I have 2 ideas: 1. A tour in which STAB moves are banned. 2. A tour where only Base Pokemon (Spiritomb, Druddigon, Phione) are allowed. All Pokemon deemed Uber are banned.
Yessir ^^ Though, the OU meta without STAB... Would certain Pokemon lose their counters? Like Cloyster to Dragonite?
What about an official Challenge Cup tournament? Best out of 3 wins. They even have a Gym Leader for it, so why not a tour?
I would love to host a 32 man ADV double elimination tournament. Called "The B. Rizzo Invitational Tournament" (B.R.I.T)
Bare Handed Tournament (Real men fight with their fists) In todays metagame, every moveset, pkmn and trainer relies on Items to surprise and destroy the opponent. And that is great. But what would happen if everyone find themselves unable to make use of this? What if pkmn suddendly are not able to use items anymore? Any item at all. Most sweepers need the extra power in life orb to beat some walls, and the same walls need the extra health provided by leftovers. Every pokemon would go back to its natural skilled self. This tour will require creativity and solid team building, because a lot of pokemon would have to try new EV spreads, bulky pokemon will need to make every EV count, and sweepers will need all the power they can take. Just imagine, how will the metagame be without items? Im not sure if this kind of tour has been suggested before, but see it this way: Each pokemon will be used the way it was meant to. It can have a format similar to the one of Weapon of choice. But 2 out of 3 battles, but not allowing Ubers, because that tier really needs the items to not be broken. And the battlers can choose between WIfi OU, UU, LU and NU. 32 players tour. If anyone would like to host the tour, please do so. If no, I can host the tour myself.
We can do it, plus we can even remove Evs and maybe Natures, with that every person would get a chance to win, with only movesets allowed, just like gen 1 except for more pokes and more moves..
Not like Shanai Cup, In this tour movesets will matter a lot, in shanai cup there is no moveset to change.. plus in this tour we won't get evs or natures whereas in shanai cup you can..
I think we should keep the ev's and nature for the tour, because that way it will require a little bit more strategy and planing, if we just let them with the base stats, everyone will use only the fastest and most powerfull pokemon, or so i think, and ev's allows for many other ways to play and counter.
Ok.. well, if that's what people want.. Btw, this is the list of pokemons that we can use: Spoiler Farfetch'd Kangaskhan Pinsir Tauros Lapras Ditto Aerodactyl Unown Girafarig Dunsprace Qwilfish Shuckle Heracross Corsola Delibird Skarmory Stantler Smeargle Miltank Sableye Mawile Plusle Minun Volbeat Illumise Torkoal Spinda Zangoose eviper Lunatone Solrock Castform Kecleon Tropius Absol Relicanth Luvdisc Pachirisu Chatot Spiritomb Carnivine Rotom Audino Throh Sawk Basculin Maractus Sigilyph Emolga Alomomola Cryogonal Stunfisk Druddigon Bouffalant Heatmor Durant Articuno Moltres Zapdos Mew Raikou Suicune Entei Celebi Regirock Registeel Regice Latias Latios Jirachi Deoxys-D Azelf Uxie Mesprit Heatran Cresselia Phione Regigigas Shaymin Victini Cobalion Virizion Terrakion Keldeo Tornadus Landorus Genesect Meloetta Tell me if I missed someone.
Hmm, that's a nice list there, sadly i dont see my favorites there, but thats cool. But I still think that the tour would be more fun if we only remove the Items. But we can do another tour when we can remove everything, too. For now, I'm thinking if i should make and send a proper aplication.
So, it seems like this Base Pokemon tour is a go? if we are going to do it, I'll like to host or at least co-host it, if no one minds, if someone else wants to do then no worry i won't mind :).
Nice list ^^ Anyways, I want to partake in the tour, wether as co-host or host. The idea still needs work, but it can be done~ EDIT: Victini~
We need to do the base pokemon tour first.. only a simple adv ou tour with nothing special isn't what we want currently do we?
I just sended the aplication for the bare handed tournament, i hope they liked the format. I also made this:
If you want a uber tournment, there are plenty of better ways to do it, such as mibuchiha's idea which he posted a few pages back.
Yeah, point exactly. It's going to be Terrakion/Heatran/Jirachi/Celebi/Zapdos/Virizion/Raikou/Suicune/Shaymin etc...
a tour where each round, everyone has the same team (a mirror match tourney) that will be a true test of predictions and skill of course, it would be a different team each round
