Pokémon Mini-Tourney: Eeveelution 1v1s

Verbatim · July 11, 2015, 05:16:36 PM

Well, now that our Smash 3DS tourney has come to a close (congrats to CK), and the Wii U tourney is just around the corner, I thought it might be fun to have a quick little (unofficial) Pokémon tourney, with an Eeveelution theme, in the interim.

The basic premise is simple: You'll be randomly assigned an Eeveelution, and you'll be pitted against all other Eeveelutions in a 1v1, round robin type format.

The first Pokémon tournament I ever entered was actually one of these. I was given Vaporeon (who I named "Verboreon"), and I ended up coming out on top, even winning it out against a Jolteon (don't ask how). It was a lot of fun, and ultimately, it's what ended up making me interested in competitive Pokémon. So I thought I'd bring it here.

Detailed rules:
1. We will use Pokémon Showdown (so Smogon rules will be in effect).
2. Round robin format.
3. Matches will be best of 3 (winners get two points; losers can get at least one point).
4. Whoever has the most points after all matches have been played wins the tourney.
5. Eeveelutions will be assigned at random.
6. You may change any aspect of your Eeveelution (moves, items, abilities, gender, etc.) but only between matches.
7. You may NOT change any aspect of your Eeveelution between the rounds of a match.

The grand prize for this tourney is... nothing, because this is just for fun (unless someone has any ideas).

If you do feel like joining, I'll give you until next Saturday (July 18th) to do it.
I'm honestly not sure if anyone's even gonna be interested.

Participants:
1. Verbatim
2. CK97
3. Luis
4. Suarez
5. Pichu
6. TBlocks
7. Tyger
8. Das

Oh, and Eeveelutions will be assigned once eight players have signed up, or until sign-ups are over.
This is to prevent opportunists.

And any questions/concerns/comments about the rules will be heard.

Oh, and only join if you know for sure that you'll be able to play. A big issue we had with our last Pokétourney was that, though we had eighteen people signed up, almost half of them ended up dropping out (after keeping a lot of people waiting). I'd rather not that happen again, if you'd please. <_<
