>>43992571 The first 2 rounds of the tourney are balanced matchups that hit each other neutrally, then the next ones are usually not very effective/immune/ditto interactions, and super effective interactions are only made when there's no way to prevent them. Anonymous

>>43973443 Want more than 5 participants to actually remember and participate in this OP? Update the rules to these and you'll get quadruple the participants.
Here are the new improved rules:
1. You have a team of 6 pokemon.
2. Pokemon on your team must all share a chosen type.
3. Matches will be played with some of the smogon-wide clauses. Single battles 6v6. Without duplicate pokemon, with sleep limit clause and no evasion/ohko moves.
4. Legendary and mythical pokemon are banned
https://www.serebii.net/pokemon/legendary.shtml 5. Disconnects will count as losses, unless both players decide to redo that particular battle. Having a record of repeated disconnects may result in a disqualification.
7. Unplayed rounds count as a loss. More rules on this forthcoming
8. YES SIMULATORS! Let's do this all through the Pokémon Showdown Battle simulator. It's completely fine to not have a hacked switch or to not have the games/dlc at all.
9. No moveset or item changes allowed when the tourney starts, you can resubmit your team as many times as you like but once the tourney officially starts, your team, it is locked and you cannot change moves, EVs or items.

Exactly what did u do to be punished by you guys like this? You think I feel good about not being able to buy a switch? Do you even know how fucking hard it is to even get your hands on a switch during this shitty corona virus era? Thanks for fucking leaking me feel like shit for not wanting to pay 5-600 dollars to some asshole price gouger on Craig’s list. Thanks for punishing fans and gamers who are literally on equal footing with you because we don’t have your shitty 300 dollar plastic toy to connect to your god awful mess of an online interface.

If you think smogon is worse than official cart 6v6 battles just because their dynamax ban did not exclude some pokemon in a specific manner you are retarded.

You guys ever thought about... just playing monotype on smogon if you don't care about cart? Maybe organize your own challenge thing if you want to do it with the portion of /vp/ that wants a simulator and not just the tournaments in the official Showdown Monotype Chatroom? Maybe all you gotta do is build your own boat instead of yelling at a boat with different sails?
