Topic: Pokémon Monthly Tournaments: #1 LITTLE CUP - Battle!

Nah, no need to reveal your team to everyone _{that might make things a tad unbalanced}
I'll make a note of it.

I believe that's 2 players ready to battle now. Enough for a battle but not much of a tourney! Anyone else got their teams ready yet? You've got until Friday!

I got my team ready!

BTW, there were a few people in the first pages that said they were ready and you didn't add them.

Cool, I'll add you~

I'm only adding people when they say their team is ready, rather than just saying they want to join. Chances are a few (or several) will drop out by the deadline.

Also, just to clarify a point that may not have been entirely clear in the first post: All participating Pokémon must be Lv5 or below. Battles will be played in Singles mode without auto-raising levels.

I'll be ready for a tourney but I can't play Friday or Saturday due to exams and stuff.

My team ain't ready, but it will be tonight or tomorrow.

my team is ready

I know that Black 2 supports WPA, but I still can't get Black 2 to acknowledge my WPA WiFi connection on my 3DS. Any ideas on how to fix that?
P.S. I can't enter this round, but I would like to try one of these tournaments.

I think I'll have my team ready by tomorrow...
EDIT: Or maybe not. I kinda gave my White version to my brother now that I've got W2, and now I don't have much access to anything. But maybe I'll manage a derp team.

5 trainers in it, we've got ourselves a little competition! There's still until the end of tomorrow (essentially midnight Saturday, British time) to get your team done. If your team is nearly there but just not quite, still let me know and I'll still add you in - we've got 2 weeks to do the battling, so it's no big deal if that last egg just isn't hatching right

Shoot I wanna be a part of this but I'm not prepared at all.

I'm afraid I have to update to say I can't compete I guess I don't have much of an excuse, but I've been a little busier than I expected. Assuming there will be future competitions, I'm in for the next ones under the circumstance I have quick access to the Pokemon, which I currently don't have.

Ok I'm ready, my team is poorly put together because I only found out recently and stuff, but I'm in.

My friend code is 1249 5268 1017

No worries Red Panda. Shame you can't join this one, but we'll have a new tourney kicking off at the start of November! _{Don't ask me what type of tourney because I haven't decided yet}

I'll add you too, Tricoloryoshi. Welcome!

I'll add a quick comment about the skill level gap: I have absolutely no idea what kind of mix to expect from the NL community - obviously we're not a dedicated Pokéforum so I don't know whether to expect a majority of trainers practicing IV/EV training with competitive strategy, or more 'casual' teams. Obviously EV trainers will trounce casual trainers, which I recognize will be a turn-off to casual players competing if they know categorically that they're going to lose the first round every time. Again, I'm going to play this by ear to learn what to expect, and try to find ways to balance the field for all players (as far as reasonably possible) in future tournaments.
As ever, there's likely to be elasticity and a lack of balance in the first few tourneys. Assuming this thread survives beyond that though, a comfortable (and fun!) middle ground should be achievable.

Thanks!

Aw shoot, this is tomorrow! And I don't even have a team!

I hope my thrown together barely thought out team does well.

My team will be ready by Saturday. Just give me a day.

so much for my A team, better go with my B team >.>

Gah! Need a team!
