Hey, I was thinking, what if we had a tournament about a week after XY was released.

Now, I know what you're thinking, how can we have a proper tournament only a week after XY is released? Simple, only allow Pokemon that can be caught before the first gym is beaten to be used, with a level limit of 15 and only Berries as the held items. Of course, to keep things simple, no trades can be done, no breeding can be done, no move tutors, and no TMs (unless you can get one before you beat the first gym.)

So, for example, if this was a Pokemon Ruby tournament, you could use ONE of the starters, Poochyena, Wingull, Dustox, Beautifly, Shroomish, Whismur, Geodude, Tailow, Nincada and Zigzagoon. They would essentially be limited to their level up movepools.

Now, if you have already blazed past the first Gym, you can still participate, Just make sure that you follow the guidelines posted above.


Now, why do this? First, it's fun. Second, EVs and IVs matter much less at lower levels than at level 100. Third, we can actually use some of the new Pokemon in an interesting setting.

Would there be interest for this sort of thing?
