To kick off my tenure as Tournament Director I would like to announce something old school: The Kanto Klassic tournament!
This will be a 6 on 6 Singles Tournament with (mostly) standard Gym Rules in effect.
The Twist? You are only allowed to use Pokémon with National Pokedex numbers from 1-149. (Technically Mewto & Mew are Kanto Pokémon as well, but they will dominate the Tournament overly much and are thus not allowed.)
Yes, the Legendary Birds are allowed. Be prepared. :cool:
This will be a Double Elimination Tournament. You can lose one time & still stay in. Although obviously never loosing is better :)
Battles Begin Saturday September 25th. You will have 1 week to complete your matches. Please do not sign up if you will not be able to battle as you are only going to hurt the others that are matched against you.
__________________________________________________ ___________
The detailed rules are as follows:
-6 pokes per team
-single battle
-Auto lvl 100
-You do not have to use the same team for all battles but they all have to conform to the Kanto Klassics rules
-Legends are allowed
-Ubers are banned
PokéFarm Clauses
Species Clause
It is NOT permitted to have two or more of the exact same Pokémon in a team.
Pokémon from the same Family are however permitted (i.e. Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu).
Duplicate Item Clause Is ON
You are only allowed one of each item on your Team.
Evasion Clause
Moves that directly increase evasion (such as Double Team and Minimize) are NOT permitted in battle.
Taking advantage of abilities such as Sand Veil and Snow Cloak are permitted. They are abilities, and do not directly affect evasion status.
Self-K.O. Clause
When both Parties are down the last Pokémon, Self-K.O. moves (such as Explosion, Destiny Bond, Perish Song, Memento, etc.) will cause an automatic loss for its user.
Abilities such as Aftermath do not count since they are abilities and not moves.
Sleep Clause
It is NOT permitted that the status Sleep (SLP) be applied to more than one of the opponent's Pokémon at a time. The opponent's currently sleeping Pokémon must first awaken or get knocked out before Sleep may be cast on the opponent's Pokémon once again.
Applying the status Sleep while using random-selection moves (such as Assist, Metronome, Sleep Talk, etc.) does NOT violate this clause.
The move Yawn (unless used with moves such as Assist, Metronome, Sleep Talk, etc.) violates this clause.
Self-inflicted Sleep (such as Rest) does NOT count in this clause, as it is voluntarily inflicted by the user and not by the opponent.
If ability-inflicted Sleep (such as Effect Spore, etc.) is already in effect, applying Sleep to another Pokémon violates this clause. However, this clause is NOT violated if the ability takes effect after the status Sleep has already been applied.
One-hit KO (O.H.K.O.) Clause
One-hit K.O. moves (such as Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, Sheer Cold, etc.) are NOT permitted, as they hugely rely on chance and not skill.
This will be a 6 on 6 Singles Tournament with (mostly) standard Gym Rules in effect.
