There was 3 in my area. I couldn't go either.

It wou;d've been embarrassing for the little kiddies though. Can you imagine what would've happened if a 21 year old absolutely DESTROYED everyone in the tournament? I would've had 50 million Soccer Moms pissed off at me.

On that note, maybe I SHOULD'VE gone...

@ BHLMRO: thanx! sry to hear that maybe u can go next time...
@ nintencore: o right!
@drcossack: to the one i went to, there were a lot more 20+ year olds than little kids. it seems that pokemon is getting more popular with older people...maybe cuz of the nostalgia.

actually it's because my ride got a flat tire and I was half an hour late.

While we're talking about hackers, I like to fight people who hack for IVs, it means they suck less, usually.

QFT, people who hack their IVs usually know how to play this game competitively. =/

i was almost disqualified when i had hacks in my pc, so i went to the bathroom and traded my team to my sisters ds i had with me.

I also won at the tourney i went to. there were mostly 14-16 year olds, and 2 20 year olds.

my team was
Starmie
weavile
deoxys attck
kyogre
Filler
Filller

During the tourney i went to, the wii wasnt able to read disks at all, so we had to use our Ds.
everyone used rayquaza, mewtwo, and palkia/dialga
i won a shirt and a PBR, but i kept the shirt and sold the PBR(i already had one) for 50 dollars(tax free)

So this is my story on what happened at the tourney
(BTW congrats on winning man, although i'd be more gassed about being asked out by the girl lol. I already gots PBR and i don't need a shirt, although i won't lie, it'd have been nice)
((BTWBTW, i got asked out by two random chicks too. SO i guess i shouldn't be too pissed about losing to a noob...)0

ok, get this. now, i don't mean to brag, but i know and anyone who can tell the difference between EVs and IVs knows that i was easily the best player there (mainly because my team didn't consist of mewtwos with psychic, confusion, psybeam and recover). btw, at my game stop only darkrai shaymin and arceus were banned. I saw plenty of mewtwos manaphys and other totally rediculous ubers. anyway, I got into the second round unscathed. there were only three...

the interference with the Wii to DS communication was horrible at the mall, so it kept shutting off.


FIVE TIMES it shut off in mid battle

my battle with the guy would always play out the same.

i would send out machamp, him garchomp or tyranitar.

My choice banded machamp would ice punch chomp or dynamic punch ttar for an easy ko.

then came mewtwo.

he uses psychic so i switch out to ttar myself and take no damage.

i switch again to gengar and he uses aura sphere, no damage.

my timid choice specs gengar outspeeds mewtwo and OHKOs with shadow ball.

the comes empoleon

switch to machamp

dynamic punch, thunder punch, either one.

and then it would shut off.

the fifth time

i switch to gengar to take the psychic because i overestimated him and thought that he would think i would switch to ttar and he would use aura sphere.

and there went the match.


I was poed.

anyone want to do PBR? i need to face someone good...

I wasn't allowed in. How gay.
O_o that's stupid... WTF?

Anyway, I placed 2nd at the tourney I went too. My Torterra got frozen in the first move. Here's what my team consisted of... I think my tourney rules were different from others, but here goes.

Rules were 4 pokemon, finals were 6. Time limit was 15 min, and only 16 entrants allowed (it was a tiny store). No uber legendaries: I.E. Mewtwo, Palkia, Kyogre, Mew, etc. I don't have that complete list, but I can get it. My pokemon consisted of...

Torterra: Focus Sash
Stealth Rock
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Wood Hammer

Magmortar: Razor Claw
Flamethrower
Focus Blast
Psychic
Thunderbolt (can't tell you how many of those effin kids thought I was cheating XD)

Rhyperior: Leftovers
Rock Wrecker
Megahorn
Earthquake
Avalanche

Feraligatr: Razor Fang
Waterfall
Ice Fang
Earthquake
Dragon Dance

Zapdos: King's Rock
Thunder Wave
Roar
Thunderbolt
U-turn
(I promise you, the most annoying Zapdos you'll ever meet)

Gengar: (some berry that boosts Sp. Att when in crit. Can't remember the name)
Will-O-Wisp
Sludge Bomb
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt



That was it. My strategy worked around getting Stealth Rock out in the first turn. In the final, I survived with the focus sash after being with Ice Beam, but got frozen. T_T It just went downhill from there. Gave the guy a run for his money though, and walked away with a $10 giftcard.

The best moment of the whole tourney was when I crit. some kid's charizard with a T.bolt from Magmortar, and my friend screamed at the top of his lungs,

"OH NO HE DIDN'T!!"

XD Good times.

this is about to turn into some hardcore "i'm so much better than you" debate...lol

let's not and say we did
naw, where i went, there weren't any little kids, just old kids who acted like little kids (and played like them)

i had one storm out the store after my machamp used ice punch. "MACHAMP ISN'T ICE TYPE THAT'S CHEAATTINNNG!!!"

i only saw two good competitors, this guy gave me a tough time with his cresselia/ttar combo....odd aint it?

stupid gamestop, only darkrai shaymin and arceus were banned. Mewtwo, Dialga, Giratina, Deoxys, Regigigas, and Manaphys running rampant...

and the first place prize was PBR, the second got a poketopia shirt, and the rest got bookmarks...lmao

oh well!

lol. I'm definitely going to the next one.

Unfair as it would be, I'd just use Kyogre/Palkia, then, if by some unfortunate accident, I lose those two, Latios/Heracross. I have the feeling that I'd be the only person there who knows about EV training.

Oh, and Matadour - Regigigas isn't an Uber. Who the hell was using it anyway?

it seems gamestops had different prizes. i saw many ubers, and my deoxys pwned them all. lol @ one guy yelling that Salamence cant use hydro pump at my specmence. i wasnt the only one who kneew ev training, and the finals gave my a run for my money as choice scarf groudon was sent out, almost sweeping my team, hadnt it been for 6 focus sash and a faster deoxys. other than that, i was the best there and someone even forfeited because he had to face me.

somehow i figure regi wasn't an uber
slowstart is so pitiful max attack EVs and a choice band wont fix it....

some kid used it alongside a giratina and of all things, poliwhirl?
my tournament played singles at lvl. 50 all....but the guy was leniant and let the last match be doubles. we had tons of interference at the mall, did anyone els have problems with their DS constantly losing the Wii?

anyway, my story of my tourny is on the first page if you're shockingly interested.
i suppose that's what this thread was for, no?

PS i was the only one at my tourney who knew about EVs or even bred for natures and IVs
