Lawley's in the tournament (Frankenstan) and he knows a lot so I'll get him to tell me who has absolutely no chance, then you can jettison half your team for random redraft.

Start figuring out who you want to drop, Cam.

I have no idea if mine are good or not

Though Abomasnow looks really cool and has an awesome name

Vampyr · 04-16-2009, 06:15 PM

I don't see why Swan got screwed, he has some very nice pokemon.

I don't really know most of the pokemon in my draft, except mismagius, which is a good one.

Bulbapedia, here I come.

Since I don't like the way this tournament is being played, nor put together, I am backing out of it.

In other words your pokemon are on steroids, and you are trying to avoid a scandal.

There's like...months. You'll be brought up to speed.

P.S. Does anyone have a Vulpix? It's the one thing I am unable to catch on my own. Unless Cam brings over leafgreen for me to stick in my cartridge slot.

Id would have to catch it and release it into your game park. And i only have 2 badges, and nowhere near its area yet.

Actually, on Pearl I can catch it in a certain area if your Leaf Green cartridge is simply in my DS.

OH SNAP!

Hey Kids.

So for the most part all of those pokemans that are banned are due to the fact that they retarded stat growth on some stats.

Togepi/togekiss is one of those. I forgot what stat or whatever.

I've always played in tournaments by those rules pretty much so never had to really deal with any of them.

The dragons all have near legendary stat growth and are obviously retarded to deal with. If you didn't get an ice user on your team you are fucked in a tournament and even still I've seen plenty of that shit go down.

Furthermore I would appreciate it if I could maybe get some redraft action. Bug pokemans are technically the worst pokemans in the game. The only one that is decent is Vespiquen which I did get, but I don't actually have her and don't feel like going through the trouble of slathering honey on 3 different trees and fucking praying that I get a combee and hoping that the 1/25 odds gives me a fucking female one. Yeah... It's that dumb. So what I was thinking is perhaps drop all the bugs and Golem seeing as I don't have much else to work with either.

Also more bad news. My copy of Pearl with all the old school pokemans is at home with the parents sitting in a box. I'm going to try and make the trip tomorrow to get it, however if I do not get a chance tomorrow to go I will not be able to get it until next Friday. So all those Johto Starters and Red/Blue pokemans are lost for the moment.

I don't know if the level cap has been set or not but I think 50 is good because pretty much every pokemans that is not banned learns their entire moveset by 50. Advice to anyone who got numel/camerupt he's on of the only pokemon in the game that can only learn his best move by staying in pre-evolved form. If you want to know what move check out serebii.net. In fact check out serebii.net for all your pokemans needs.

Double Post Sorry.

So I was just thinking of something but it may be Too much work.

Perhaps since there are 17 different pokemon types what we could do is maybe let everyone pick their favorite 10 types of pokemans, and then give them 1 random mon from each of those 10 types? This balances out a lot with the fact that someone doesn't get 4 or 5 of the same type of pokemon and it would make for a closer tournament for sure.

Just a suggestion. Pokemon with 2 types would be placed into both of the categories.

Just a thought on a better way to balance the draft.

And just to be clear there are a few dragon types that aren't banned:

Altaria, Kingdra, Vibrava and Flygon.

Also the TypeList:

NORMAL, BUG, DARK, ELECTRIC, FIGHTING, FIRE, FLYING, GHOST, GRASS, GROUND, ICE, POISON, PSYCHIC, ROCK, STEEL, WATER, DRAGON
