NOTE: I don't think I ever mentioned this, since I thought it was a bit obvious, but once someone has chosen a Pokémon, no one else may choose that Pokémon. The only exception to this is Pokémon with multiple forms. For example, if someone chooses Wash Forme Rotom, someone else (or that person, I suppose) can choose Mow Forme Rotom. Mega evolutions DO NOT count as separate forms.
Also, another rule that I can't remember if I mentioned or not, but each team is only allowed to have ONE mega evolution on their team. You don't have to announce which of your pokemon will be your Mega until AFTER all of the teams have been chosen. In other words, you can have Charizard, Scizor, and Glalie on your team, but once the teams are built, you have to declare which of them will be your Mega pokemon FOR THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT. You will not be able to switch Megas unless you trade someone for their Mega.
Also, if you choose Charizard as your Mega, you have to decide whether you're using Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y. You will not be allowed to switch between the two.
We will start by choosing our OU Tier Pokémon.
Order of selection:
1st Pokémon - CC, CEK, EE, HHy, TT, DD, HHo, HSH, BB, BF
2nd Pokémon - BF, BB, HSH, HHo, DD, TT, HHy, EE, CEK, CC (the reverse of the first)
3rd Pokémon - same as the first
NOTE: This is the pattern for all selections, so I'm only going to post the order for the first selection for the other three tiers
UU Tier order - HHy, BB, DD, HHo, BF, CEK, HSH, EE, CC, TT
RU Tier order - BF, HHy, DD, TT, CC, EE, BB, CEK, HHo, HSH
NU Tier order - DD, BB, TT, HHo, BF, HHy, HSH, CC, CEK, EE
This will be the battle order.
Round 1: EE vs CC; HHo vs BB; TT vs CEK; BF vs DD; HSH vs HHy
Round 2: EE vs BB; CC vs TT; HHo vs DD; CEK vs HHy; BF vs HSH
Round 3: EE vs CEK; BB vs BF; CC vs HHy; TT vs HHo; DD vs HSH
Round 4: EE vs TT; CEK vs BB; BF vs CC; HHy vs DD; HHo vs HSH
Round 5: EE vs HHo; TT vs BB; CEK vs HSH; BF vs HHy; CC vs DD
Round 6: EE vs BF; HHo vs CEK; TT vs DD; BB vs HHy; HSH vs CC
Round 7: EE vs HSH; BF vs TT; HHo vs HHy; CEK vs DD; BB vs CC
Round 8: EE vs DD; HSH vs BB; BF vs CEK; TT vs HHy; HHo vs CC
Round 9: EE vs HHy; DD vs BB; HSH vs TT; BF vs HHo; CEK vs CC
(Really wish I could put an Excel file here, it'd be so much easier to read 
)
After all the rounds are finished, the 4 teams with the most wins will go on to the semifinals (who goes against who will once again be decided via a randomizer). The 2 winners will then face off against each other in the finals to determine who will win the tournament.
Never mind, scratch that
So.....do we say our Pokemon's names now...orrr...
3292871
Sorcerer-san! I-I'm fighting you in round two! I won't hold back!
3292955 Oh don't worry. Your Pokemon will be too busy sleeping than fighting. I'll do most of the work.
Sweet. I got the wheel pick in UU.
When is this going down? When do we pick our mons?
3292871
No, unfortunately, everyone has to wait until its their turn to choose.
Also everyone, in case you haven't yet, make sure you check my other blog post that contains the various rules that will be followed, as well as lists of which Pokémon fall into which category (as well as which are in Ubers, which will not be allowed in the tournament).
For the first pick of Ou, the Canterlot Carbinks choose....
Landorus-Therian
For the next pick, we hand it off to, margopolo_fimfiction, coach of the Pinkie's Pikachus
3293020 Damn. Well, that figures Lando-T would go first...
3292857 it's your turn to pick
Also another note. While you dont have to announce your Megas if their normal forme is in the tier that is being picked for... if you want... lets say Mega Pinsir. You would have to announce that you wanted him in OU, since his mega is in Bl while his normal form is in NU.
3293096
... did you even read the rules at all?
You are supposed to pick one Mon from the OU tier, and it has to be a mon that no one else has picked.
3293101
Dammit!!!
Then I pick....... Greninja
3293123
...please. please look at his other blog post... please.
Greninja is UBER and not Ou and is therefore BANNED.
Look up mons at Smogon before you want to pick them if that helps.
Fine..... Is Pichu available?
3293139
Why do you not read any of the rules at all?
Seriously?
Pichu is Little Cup whitch means that he will be avaible for pick when we are doing the Nu pokemon.
We are currently in the Ou tier, whitch only takes a single look at the blog post above to find out.
We're gonna be here a while. Should we form a Skype group to make things go faster?
3293155
That seems like a good idea, yes.
3293156 Hi Arctic!
3293160
Greetings^^
3293150
I'm sorry!!! None of this makes sense too me!!!! Too many words!!!
3293164
In his other blog post, he made a list of OU mon, so you could pick from there for example.
This is the list of Pokémon in the OU tier.
Alakazam/Mega Alakazam, Altaria/Mega Altaria, Azumarill, Bisharp, Breloom, Celebi, Chansey, Charizard/Mega Charizard X/Mega Charizard Y, Clefable, Conkeldurr, Crawdaunt, Diancie/Mega Diancie, Diggersby, Dragonite, Excadrill, Ferrothorn, Mega Gallade, Garchomp/Mega Garchomp, Gardevoir/Mega Gardevoir, Gengar, Gliscor, Gothitelle, Gyarados/Mega Gyarados, Hawlucha, Heatran, Mega Heracross, Hippowdon, Jirachi, Keldeo, Klefki, Black Kyurem, Therian-Forme Landorus, Latias/Mega Latias, Latios/Mega Latios, Lopunny/Mega Lopunny, Magnezone, Manaphy, Manectric/Mega Manectric, Mega Medicham, Metagross/Mega Metagross, Mew, Mega Pidgeot, Mega Pinsir, Raikou, Wash Forme Rotom, Sableye/Mega Sableye, Scizor/Mega Scizor, Scolipede, Serperior, Skarmory, Slowbro/Mega Slowbro, Smeargle, Staraptor, Starmie, Sylveon, Talonflame, Terrakion, Thundurus (in either form), Togekiss, Tyranitar/Mega Tyranitar, Venomoth, Venusaur/Mega Venusaur, Victini, Volcarona, Weavile, Zapdos, Zygarde
3293163 If we're gonna do this in a Skype Group, I can think of a pretty good place, wouldnt you?
3293175
Well... as much as I want to say yes. Would it not make a little more sense, to create another group that is solely for this tournament?
3293166
Venusaur. It's on the list, but has it been taken?
3293180 It's merely a suggestion is all. If you think we should make a separate group entirely, then I'm all for it.
3293181 '
It has not, you were number two to pick after me.
And it is a good pick, since you can choose to have him as your Mega Pokemon near the end.
3293184
I made a group for it. Will send out messages to all participants and hope that they all agree to join... if not, then it wont really work
3293012
Best, you're up next
3293199
Gotta go with Ferrothorn!
3293233
Alrighty.
Well, I'm gonna go with my girl, Altaria
I'm just gonna drop an excellent choice for NU if someone wants it: Swoobat. A Simple Weakness Policy Amnesia Stored Power Swoobat to be exact. This thing sets up once and it is GG.
3292970
yo, Sorceror, you're up
Hm...an OU....hm...
I'll chose....Alakazam.
Hah hah! I've got dibs on Rotom Wash!
4599135
Next pick is yours^^
3293277 would it be okay if i made a group chat on a site called chatzy?
it could be just for us, it doesn't cost anything and you don't have to make an account.
it takes me about a minute or two to set one of those up and their easy to take down if we no longer need it.
i know arctic suggested skype, but i couldn't do that since we only have 2 computers in our house and the one i use won't run skype (the other is my mom's and she needs it for work)
We still waiting on Choppa?
3294013
He is in school and he said that he would choose when he came back
3293277 margopolo said he was quiting, but we're trying to find someone to replace him
chat room link here as well just in case
