    And yes, Hawlucha is still Green. Deal with it.

    Welcome back. Round 1 is now go. So it begins.

    RULES (For those of you who blindly signed up without reading Rule 6):
    1. The tournament will follow a Best of 3 format for it's duration
    2. Each of these battles will take place in a different tier. These tiers are ORAS Monotype, ORAS Monocolor, and ORAS Monogen.
    3. ORAS Monotype will keep it's existing banlist, and each player shall be permitted to use only pokemon of one type. Dual types are acceptable.
    4. ORAS Monocolor will allow each player to chose pokemon belonging to one color, as according to the Pokedex. The match shall be played in the ORAS OU tier, and the appropriate banlist will apply.
    5. ORAS Monogen will allow each player to chose pokemon introduced in the same generation. The match shall be played in the ORAS OU tier, and the appropriate banlist will apply.
    6. In all of these, Mega Evolutions and other in-battle transformations will fall under of the pokemon that initially enters the field. M-Audino is only allowed in Normal monotype, not Fairy.
    7. Pre-final rounds will last one week. Extensions will be given only in absolute emergencies.
    Round 1 lasts TWO weeks (Which is a direct contradiction to the above line), so it ends on 1:00 EST (Thats GMT-5) on Sunday, 1 November. For US scrubs such as myself, that is the exact moment Daylight Savings Time ends. Ill get the new thread up sometime that day. HAVE FUN KIDS.

    OFFICIAL LISTS (For those who thought Weavile was Blue):
    List of Pokemon by color
    List of Pokemon by type (Links to the Dark page, but you can just click on any other type)
    Gen 1: Pokedex #s 1-151 (Bulbasaur - Mew, 151 Pokemon)
    Gen 2: #s 152-251 (Chikorita - Celebi, 100 Pokemon)
    Gen 3: #s 252-386 (Treeko - Deoxys, 135 Pokemon)
    Gen 4: #s 387-493 (Turtwig - Arceus, 77 Pokemon, Bonus Brownie Points for winning with this gen)
    Gen 5: #s 494-649 (Victini - Genesect, 156 Pokemon)
    Gen 6: #s 650-720 (Chespin - Hoopa, 70 Pokemon, Volcanion doesn't count cuz unreleased)

    MATCHUPS (For those that didn't pester me for their matchups before I posted this):
    @Brycen-Man vs Arsbi (0-2)
    @Atli vs DoctorS
    La.Melle2402
    vs @Fiery Espeon (/ff)
    @The Dude vs ready2go202 (/ff)
    Bye vs @Pascal64
    snaga vs @TraceofLife (/ff)
    Elize Lutus vs @electraheartcomplex (2-0)
    @Joyverse vs Casparov (0-2)

    EDIT OF MY EDIT: The vote to ban Lando has reached the point where there enough bans to prevent a majority vote. NO TEMP TIER SHIFTS SHALL OCCUR.

    The vote is bs imo just use the standard banlist.
    People can just vote for what they prefer and not how they really feel about it.
    I vote no ban cuz its op and I like to use it.
    Now lets have a vote about unbanning Aegislash and Greninja for mono color.....

    First off, @electraheartcomplex will now be playing @Elize Lutus. All subs are now taken. OP will be updated shortly.

    Secondly...
    The vote is for opinion voicing, that is why it has such high requirements to pass.
    Aegi isnt in the greatest color ever, but Greninja is BLUE. We might as well just unban non-Mega Blaziken if we want to make one of the 3 decent colors even MORE OP. So imma say no to that.

    Unbanning Aegi OR Greninja for MonoGEN is a different matter, as Gen 6 is... lacking without the two of them. I will take opinions on this matter.

    Actually I didn't get tutoring in Monotype, so I'm not in this :v Don't feel like playing a tour where I'll automatically lose 1 round vs more experienced players lol. Sorry for the inconvenience and good luck to everyone!

    Imo unban Aegi and Greninja for Monogen. Without them no one could use Gen 6. And unban in Monocolor Aegi (brown) and Gene (purple).

    So, because this is MY tour, I have thought up a couple tiering changes that could work w/o being broken while having as few complex bans as possible (Parenthetical shows what monos it applies to). Note that these are ALL IDEAS and not set in place yet, though they may be for R2

    Monotype:
    (Flying) BAN Landorus-I on Monoflying only
    REASONING:
    Monoground doesn't deserve a ban tbh, but Lando is still OP as hell.

    Monocolor:
    (Brown) UNBAN Aegislash
    (Brown, White) BAN King's Shield
    (Purple) Genesect REMAINS BANNED
    REASONING:
    Brown has plenty of decent pokes, but lacks any answer to any Water/Ice type attack (Outside of Heatran for the latter). Giving Brown another offensive weapon without giving it it's primary defensive tool should create the balance needed here. Genesect stays banned simply because he is purple, a type with enough viable pokemon (Espeon, Nidoking, Cloyster, and Gengar come to mind) to make up for the bug's absence.

    Monogen:
    (Gen 6) UNBAN Greninja
    (Gen 6) UNBAN Aegislash
    (Gen 6, Gen 3) BAN Protean
    (Gen 6, Gen 2) BAN King's Shield
    REASONING: Here is the big one. Aegislash has kinda been discussed above. Still an offensive threat, but lacks primary defensive tool. Greninja is more broken than Aegi with his ability intact. However, Ninja Frog with Torrent is still a hard-hitting, fast, and all around annoying pokemon, he just doesn't get STAB on every move and the ability to typeshift at will. But really, Gen 6 just lacks viability without these two. Unless you can set up a Slurpuff sweep, anyway.

    So yea, tell me what you think about those. @Oh So Penspin will be removed from the tour at his request. @Pascal64 will now play ~Sub3~, which expires Wednesday.

    How about we stick in the normal rules and not change everything now? You had all the time where you posted the idea to adjust the rules so yeah, let's just play Mono standart and Monogen/colour with OU banlist

    You literally told me you were busy or about to go whenever I asked you to play and then kept chatting in tournaments for hours, and you asked me to play one game on tuesday but then refused to play when I contacted you on that day.

    You said you'd be free today so here I am, I'll be here for 1 hour and a half so let's get this done
