Wonder Trade Tournament 1

Welcome to the first PokemonLance Wonder Trade Tournament!  Where you use only Pokemon you received from Wonder Trade.  The rules are:

1)You trade of six Pokemon you caught/bred over Wonder Trade; and what you get from the trade, you must use in the tournament for a full 6-on-6 battle!  List what Pokemon you get because it's not like anybody's going to change their team for an advantage.
*Note, there is an honor system in telling what Pokemon you got in the tournament.

2) No evolving them!  If you are Wonder Traded a Zigzagoon, you are not allowed to evolve it into a Linoone.  It must stay a Zigzagoon.
1. However, you are allowed to teach it TMs/HMs, tutored moves, and EV train it to give Zigzagoon a competitive edge.  

3) No retrades!  The first six you got are the six you use.  Even if you get 4 Scatterbugs in-a-row, you must use those 4 Scatterbugs on your team.

4) Banned Pokemon-  There will be restrictions on what cannot be used.  It is rare to see these Pokemon through Wonder Trade, but to not give someone a for-sure win by getting a good Pokemon, the following is banned:
1. Uber-tier Pokemon
2. Pokemon with a base stat 510 or over
3. Mega evolutions

5) Item Clause is in effect for this tournament

6) Evasion Clause

This will be a lesson to teach us about Pokemon we might not ever use and how to improvise Pokemon we would most-likely not use in a battle!

Tournament will be run depending on the number of participants:

2 participants: Will be played to the best of three rounds

3-5 participants- One group of Round-Robin.  Winner is declared with highest win:loss ratio

6 participants: two separate groups of Round-Robin.  The winner from each group will play one round to declare winner

7+ participants: Classic single-elimination bracket.


List out what you got for a Wonder Trade in this forum, and may the trades ever be in your favor!

OFFICIAL BRACKET:

My first six Pokemon for the tournament are:

1) Barboach
2) Fletchling
3) Heracross
4) Nincada
5) Porygon
6) Ralts

Im in. as soon as i wondertraded 6 Pokes i'll post it.

Okay, I added you to the roster! I had to update a little on the rules because it did not make sense. Having 5 people separate into two groups of round-robin doesn't make sense.

I'm definately in, I'll wonder trade and post as soon as I'm done.

Ok I just finished Wonder Trading and I received the following 6 Pokemon:
Taillow
Poochyena
Azurill
Carvanah
Larvitar
Chikorita
I will EV train these suckers just as soon as I finish the team I'm working on for the International Competition Tournament, then I'll PM you when I'm ready. Btw is this a singles or doubles tournament?

Yes, Don. I forgot to mention but, The tournament will be a single battle tournament. So far, we will be doing our tournament in a round-robin format unless we get +7 participants.

How about we close the registration to the tournament on Saturday; and we will arrange matches starting Monday? We still have a few active members who might want to join!

It's your call, Bud. I think we might want to extend it a little longer since many of the members don't come on as much. I'm game for whenever.

I'm in will wonder trade and post soon, not sure I'm ready for matches monday, but maybe the following weekend

Okay my team is:
Kirlia
Zigzagoon
Wingull
Ferroseed
Bagon
Fletching

I too would give it another week to see if anyone else would like to join.

This is shaping up! Sounds like fun in the making.

I can give it another week! I think I will make the tournament a double elimination tournament if we got 4 people! Round Robin would be hard if we all can't battle within a tiny time frame.

I should be free all day next saturday guys, looking forward to this will wonder trade and post soon

Let's get this sucker started! Lol

I guess so. I will make a bracket sometime this week. I am a bit overwhelmed with a new class in college; but I will definitely get one set up at least by Thursday!

Sounds like a plan, Cmndr. Keep me posted.

Wonder traded finally today, got a decent-ish team:

1. Donphan (delighted)
2. Surskit -__-
3. Gulpin
4. Bulbasaur
5. Gible
6. Zubat

Some egg moves too but I won't say anymore on that hehe. Will try get these puppies potty trained and ready to roll soon.

wow donphan nice lol.

Okay, guys, I will start making the tournament bracket now! I was gonna start it a few days ago, but a little "car accident" set me back a little. I gotta finish some EV training too. MrOHKO got lucky with the Donphan, but can it beat Heracross? lol Just gonna warn you, I got a lot of aces up my sleeve for this tournament!

Okay, the tournament bracket is done!  It is edited in a spoiler in the first post of this thread.  If the anticipation is killing you, here are the results:

Round 1 (FIGHT!):

I know this sounds a bit stretched, but let's try to get these battles in by the end of the month because some of us have outside factors and EV training to do!

This is going to be a tough tournament, full of gym leaders and champions….bring back the poem on league lol

Don i will be training over coming days and hopefully we can get a battle in soon

Looking forward to a great battle with you as always my friend. Next weekend is best for me as I am off Sat and Sun. If not I'm available weekdays but I work from 3:30pm until 11:30 pm EST. Just let me know and we'll set something up. Good luck to everyone in the tournament, it'll be a blast!

great I have some training to do also but can't wait cmndr.

So what's the word?
