- As you all have heard and seen, the latest incarnation of Pokemon is now an online playable game, where trainers can actually square off against their friends, from great distances, in a heated conflict with the pocket monsters they have held dear.
After thoughts and brainstorming, I, as well as SRK, have decided to push an idea of a Ranbat ahead, with a small set of rules**:
Basic Rules
First 32 Gents will be entered:**
Remember, this is a trial for the first run. It is an easy number to work with, too.
**
Your Pokemon Team must also be here too:**
12 Pokemon must be listed here as your squad. tentative
**
Banned Pokemon are Banned Pokemon. Don’t use them.**
- Pailka, Mewtwo, and etc. are not allowed to be entered in this tournament. Refer to the list
(list of uber here:http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29788). No doubles, either.
**Movelist:
**Sleep clause, YOU can only put to sleep one of the opponents pokemon, does not include opponents sending their own to sleep with rest. Evasion ban, moves like minimize/double team/sand attack are banned, items like bright powder and lax incense are ok. OHKO ban, no fissure/guillotine/sheer cold/horndrill
**This tournament is Single Elimination

Episodes(Tournaments) will consists of 3 weeks, which will mostly consists dat Monday to Thursday action:

[*]Third Week, Semi Finals(Monday), Battle for Last Spots(Tuesday(3rd and 4th)), Finals(Wednesday)[/LIST]- The matches for the first week will be posted by Saturday 12pm EST. This is more of a free zone thing, here. Fight whenever you want against your opponent.
I’ll post them up like so:
You get your ass kicked. I’ll indicate it like so:
If you advance to the second bout, I’ll show that, too. If you will allow me to demonstrate:
-
The second week will have stricter timing. I’ll post up the actual match records and schedule by Saturday 12pm EST, as usual. If a match cannot be fought that day, let me know. Fights that affect the timeline of the Ranbat will be fought at a different time THAT WEEK. Please try not to make the Ranbat surpass 3 weeks of play.
-
There will be 5 Episodes(five tournaments) per Chapter.**
Points**
[LEFT]1st place = 10 points
2nd place = 7 points
3rd place = 5 points

FIGHT
**
-
Each Match will consists of two to three battles. 2 points will end a match.
-
Matches will be played in Single 100 Level Format. Each player will hold 6 pokemon.
-
A double K.O, will result in a third match. However, the first Pokemon to die, in a double K.O., through an actual move(Destiny Bound, or Selfdestruct) , will be the counted as the K.O. If it’s still a Double K.O. at the third, a sudden death match will commence. In a sudden death match, players will have to draw 1 pokemon each. The winner of that match will take it all.
-
The victor will pm me as soon as he/she has won the match. They have until 12pm the next day, inorder to do so. In the Second Bout, this will be changed to ASAFP!
Mind you that this is all tentative, but the first date is not.
**November 5th - 19 **will be Chapter 1.1.
The next 4 will probably take place in 2008 (January, February, etc) to assist you all better with the chaos and franticness of the holiday season.
