Monthly Pokemon Tournaments will now be taking place. All tournaments will be done over shoddy battle. If you do not know what Shoddy Battle is, you can find it here. Every Month we will have 2 tournaments, a competitive tournament and a fun type tournament. The Competitive tournaments will be any tier based on Smogan Tier Lists.

Fun tournaments can range from Anime Character Battles to Random Battles. Creativity is were fun tournaments will shine. There will be plenty of tournaments for different players taste.

This month competitive tournament is open for registration. You can find it in the battle section or click here to go straight to the thread. Registration will end within a week.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach me via PM or on AIM(SarunoX). Don't forget to tell your friends about it as well.

Thank you and have fun!

Finally, some tournaments I won't miss.

By the way, Irak is playing again. So we all lose.

nice, time to go download shoddy.

[Sage]

Sounds fun.

[Vince]

Imma do it. >:]

Once HG/SS come out I hope we get more wi-fi tournaments.

[Maximum Charles]

Wifi sucks. =/

[Saruno]

I dont think WiFI sucks lol

Reason I dont tend to push WiFi is because I hardly see interest here for WiFi type tournaments. If a bunch of WiFi people contacted me I would do more WiFi stuff and I want to.

I gotta see interest and I know 90% of ETC Pokemon players play on Shoddy. Though I will try and get some WiFi tournaments started as well but they probably wont be as frequent as the Shoddy Battle Tournaments.

Or it's because the best statistical data and player base comes from Shoddy Battle, and I don't feel like battling a bunch of mediocre 12 year old kids.

To say that ,would imply there are no mediocre 12 year old on shoddy, is obviously not true....then again, the best players on shoddy only add to your loss record (damn you elevator music). I much rather see someone who has spent time ev training and some dedication (like at the pokemon VGCs were you HAVE too play 1st party) as apposed too the latter where its mostly number crunching and in head damage calcultions. At theh same time, one offers an easy out too someone who simply wants to play pokemon and the other offers you the story and gameplay, so they both serve their purpose.

The never ending argument continues..

[Maximum Charles]

Not really a never-ending argument. Just a mere exchange of opinions. Wifi is more time-consuming, the players are worse, the meta from what I hear is stupid, and I don't really care how dedicated someone is when I play them. Lol.

Any worthwhile battle should involve number crunching and a good amount of prediction skill. Remember, the best player will win regardless of the medium. All that's different here really is the quality of the players and the time spent in order to be considered competitive.

Depends which meta your referring too...since OU has always been the same since last year, and UU and NU are in a state of flux. Dedication is important to me, cause I hate hackers...which are a dime a dozen nowdays thanks too Pokesav.

Round 1 of the OU Tournament has begun and singups for the fun tournament will start soon. Keep an eye open
