Round 2 of prelims is now underway! We've already seen a few players with early victories, how will this round end?
We currently have thirty players participating in this tournament - three dropped players, one voluntary and two due to inactivity.

Anyhow, you can all support these threads by challenging one another to practise matches! I'm honestly a bit surprised I don't see more of these, since it's the only real way to git gud.

>>19042184 ppfff, naww, HP Ice hits dragons much harder. Actually, I believe that Dragon Pulse isn't even a KO on 4HP Garchomp.
Charizard really has no business hanging out with dragons anyway - it needs team support to beat any of them one on one (tailwind, wide guard, fake out).

Quoted By:
>>19042062 Actually, Ancient Power on MegaZard is not that good: the OHKO is not guaranteed if you run Timid even against other 4HP/0SpD Charyzard and if you run Modest you risk being outsped too.
That said, is still a million time better that Dragon Pulse.

!PpNzKhAKto
>>19070296 Appreciate the feedback, but I'm definitely not sure how having more people aboard will make things go faster. So far, all the rounds have gone for the full week's length because our players weren't able to get their games done earlier than that, which is fair enough. Then there was the challonge error, which wouldn't let me remove drop outs.
These are issues that having more people aboard would fix, and honestly, since this is the first time I'm ever doing anything like this, I'm working it all out as I go and a team of us would need obsessive communication to work everything out.
I will admit that having more people would help me manage the e-mails a lot better - a team if us could possible update the bracket within hours of receiving the e-mail. But I think this is honestly a bit of a small benefit in the scheme of things.
Anyway! I'm going to comb through my e-mail and connect everyone who wants to practise. Keep your eyes on your e-mails everyone!

VGC and doubles are both official nintendo formats, VGC is nintendo's main competitive format.
Both have different rules. just google the VGC rules and you'll see for yourself. basically, you can only use pokemon in the kalos pokedex which makes for a unique meta game. VGC rules differe every year.

i suggest that you git gud and learn to backup your pokemon saves, and bring genn'd pokemon over that way

Quoted By:
>>19075012 The big difference is that VGC right now only allows Kalos dex, which excludes Togekiss, Cresselia, Volcarona, Hitmontop, and some other big threats. They're quite similar in terms of game flow.
VGC is 4vs4 Kalos dex
WiFi doubles is 4vs4 all dex (no event legendaries)
Smogon doubles is 6vs6 all dex (no Smogon ubers)

>>19075147 Do you need Powersaves to do that? I have an eShop copy of Y so you'd think it would be easy enough to dump the save file from that, but all the links I can find through Google are guides to Genning Bank-legal things, or Powersaves.

>>19074259 scizor is used quite a lot in VGC, what are you talking about?
>>19076552 without a powersaves thing, you will need a gen 5 game and a flashcart and another DS, I believe

>>19076701 By showdown usage stats, Scizor is 6th in OU and 31st in VGC. I agree that it's still a massive threat, but I can see where that guy is coming from.
Parham - 2836 - 1058 - 9751
Anyone up 4 practisegames?
>>19076701 As I was sorely reminded in my game vs Devon, Scizor is walled just far too hard by too many threats in this game.
Aegislash, Ferrothorn, Manectric, Rotom H and W, Charizard X and Y, Amoonguss, Talonflame.
Added to the fact that Scizor is prone to intimidate and will-o-wisp (which is EVERYWHERE in VGC) you've got a pokemon who's just far to mediocre to matter. And Bug Bite is illegal.
That being said, I lost my set vs Devon because of poor decisions at team preview - I brought scizor to both games when he had (literally) an entire team of outs, I generally just didn't play as well as I should have, I didn't make the moves I needed to win - a lesson well learned, it's better to lose a practise game than a real one. In the end, I managed to at least bring down a pokemon with the only real threat on my team, Garchomp (which I forgot to put rock slide on, lmao) which just goes to show how important team preview is.
>>19076552 I do this myself so you're in luck.
Basically what you do is firstly set up a network for your DS (I found an old router to host a internetless WEP network), connect both your PC and DS lite or phat to that network (dsi or Xl don't work), run an FTP server on your PC, run the FTP backup tool on your DS and follow the prompts to firstly backup your save file (which you then open in pokegen, then add modded pokemon to) then to actually write that save onto your game.
Basically, here's the tutorial (
http://gbatemp.net/threads/nds-backup-tool-wifi.252623/ )
but do NOT use the tool in there, use this one isntead

>>19076876 It would probably be more accurate to say that it's used a lot successfully in VGC seeing Washington was just recently won by a team using Scizor and a lot of recent top cut teams have included it as well.
It's massive fire weakness definitely sucks this year, however that hasn't stopped people from running Ferrothorn.

>>19071006 Ah shit I'm just the same. I'm sorry man my Uni has been nuts busy in the past week and I'm not going to be able to get my game in on time, so I'll probably just have to concede this round.

>>19085870 so, what, it should go for less than a week? people are hardly getting them done in a week's time, how would they get it done earlier than that? rounds end early if everyone finishes early anyway and that's just not happening.
if anything, people are just losing interest and dropping after getting shrekt back to back in the first few rounds.

>>19085924 Haha, I've come to accept that my threads will be dead for a while now.
>>19085870 I've considered three-four day rounds - I really, really have.
Buuut I just can't see it working without a hitch. On one hand, a lot of people have been submitting videos last minute - this will definitely encourage those players to finish earlier. But on the other hand, I've seen a consistent amount of players who honestly need the full week's worth.
I dunno. I am getting a bit tired of all the late submissions, so I might just experiment with a four day round for round 4.

Very good games with Layne just now. Realised that Band Azumarill can OHKO every single member of my team, just luckily not with the same move.

>>19094882 Do you mean starting the tournament again as double elimination, or kind of seeding it based on how we've done so far? I haven't had much trouble getting my games done, but that's probably because I'm doing well, and people who are likely to win are naturally going to want to stay more. I like it how it is, but I know it'll take months and months to finish it at this rate.

>>19094882 starting this thing right before many unis have exams probably didn't help either

>>19094939 originally, these were just "prelims" - there were only a handful of people in the threads and I wanted everyone to have some warmup games to motivate team building and encourage improvement while we got more people interested by our hopefully busy and bustling threads.
Things worked out completely backward - prelims got so much interest that it became the main event, and threads are dead dead dead.
>>19095151 I have no idea of what european and american unis are doing and it's really not my business. Students can manage themselves, and I'm happy to give draws or extensions to people who can't make the time to play the games - this one's on the players.
