Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Deleted member]

This is literally me. I'm sure you can just throw something together. It'll be fun.

Oh well, I guess I'll try looking for the best Pokemon I can find. I do have a Modest Bulbasaur, so that will probably be my main Mega.
On a side note, I finally changed my avatar.

 

[Opossum]

Actually I just realzied you didn't give a date. . .if this is far enough away maybe i will try and get some semblance of a team together.

The question is whether or not to include Nidoking and poliwrath.

Why not? :D
We're shooting for early November, before SM launches. Would that be time enough?

 

[Chandeelure]

I hate the sun, I'm melting right now.

 

[Oasis Dealer]

And now...an announcement.

Spoiler: Full Announcement - Please Click Above Link First

NintenZone Pokémon Tournament

(Here's hoping the link worked)
A celebration of Pokémon Sun and Moon's release. Aiming for early November start date. Final date will be decided by community vote.

The format, should enough people sign up, will be Multi-Battles. The team that wins two of the three matches will advance. Either X/Y or OR/AS is allowed, BUT should an XY user face an ORAS user, teams should be readjusted to allow for play. Alternatively, if possible, bracket order could be shuffled so no one needs to adjust their team.

You are not bound to the same team for the whole tournament. However, you are bound to the same two teams of six for the entirety of the current round.

Ban lists will be decided by community vote.

Battles MUST BE RECORDED by at least one participant using the VS Recorder. This is for archival purposes...I'd love for us all to be able to look back at our first tournament together.

In the end, one team will stand victorious, but...there is a twist at the end. You'll know when you get there...

I encourage everyone to join, even if they're not the greatest battler. That's why it's a tag team tournament: you can try to pair with someone else to help your odds. And who knows, you might get better because of it. It's all in good fun, but we need a good amount of people in order to do this.

As far as prizes...like I said, it's all for fun. BUT. The winning team WILL be forever immortalized in the OP of the thread for as long as I'm thread owner. Maybe someone can make, like, a plaque in photoshop or something.

I really do hope you choose to sign up. This has been stewing around in my head for a while now, so I'd love to see a good turnout response. Good luck to those who choose to participate!

So? What do you guys think? :D

Sounds great! I've actually been replaying Pokemon X in preparation for Sun and Moon, with one of my goals to complete the Pokédex.

So far I'm at around 706 Pokemon, and I've caught 705 of them. With so many different Pokemon, I could try out some new teams if I do happen to join this. Looking forward to it!

 

[Jaedrik]

Alright, since we were talking about the bad economic condition of the world earlier, here's a ton of meat on the bones, relating to the CPI, real median income, debt saturation, interest rates, all that sort of stuff, presented by one of my favorite guys.

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Not sure about joining the tournament... I do own both Y and OR, and have a few good Pokemon on both.

However, I have no competitive experience, and have no idea what EVs and IVs are, which natures affect to which stat, etc.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I suppose I could try.

I'm not the best when it comes to battling.

But I do have some EV mons...

Who knows.

Perhaps Pokemon Showdown could work as well Opossum

 

[A Distant Demon]

Why not? :D
We're shooting for early November, before SM launches. Would that be time enough?

it should be (even if I still need to get the national dex lol) but I just realized college+work=no days off ever So RIP that idea lol.

I hate the sun, I'm melting right now.

 

[Deleted member]

Actually, I think I'll beat AS before I get the right Pokemon
So far, the Pokemon I think I'll use are Mega Venusaur, Greninja, Chandelure, and Galvantula
Still not sure what their movesets will be tho

 

[Chandeelure]

Oh, a Pokemon tournament...

I don't have any 3DS Pokemon game, I just play Showdown for now

I'll join up. I was hoping the GL would have done another tournament before the GL closes but I am a competitive battler and breeder. It'll help with waiting for Sun and Moon and will probably be fun lol.

 

[A Distant Demon]

*open pokemon X*
not only do I already have the national dex. . .but I have a freaking poliwhirl on my team.


I didn't even think I liked poliwhirl when I played X.
Nice

 

[Aetheri]

I have a few competitive ready pokemon on X...Not enough for a full team though I could probably scrounge up a couple more if needed...

However this totally depends on how my schedule will line up...

Thoughts on today's Pokemon Generations episodes:

Both were pretty good. Episode 5 didn't show us anything new since it was information we learned from the HG/SS Celebi event, but having more Looker is always a plus. I liked Silver's acting as well, and it was nice to see him not be his usual jerkish self as he left Looker for the Pokemon League.

Episode 6 was good in that it expanded on the Legendary Beasts' backstory. Looks like the theory about the Beasts being Eeveelutions at one point is RIP, because those creatures didn't look like Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon. They looked more like normal dogs than Pokemon, though I'd be interested in seeing these former forms of the Legendary Beasts in the games. Too bad that's very unlikely though.

Looks like the reason why Suicune, Entei, and Raikou don't appear in front of people very often is because the people of Ecruteak City were afraid of them after the transformation, deemed them as a threat, and threw rocks and sticks at them. Now, they only appear when notice humans are less evil. I liked the ending when Suicune appeared in front of Eusine temporarily right when he thought about it, and whoever voice acted him nailed it with his reaction toward the Pokemon. I also found Eusine more likable in this episode compared to the games, but maybe that's just me.

------

Also we got a really interesting special airing.

There's a spinoff 1hr long special about Sycamore and Alexa searching Ruins for a legendary Pokemon. I wonder what it will bee and how that will go. Should be interesting.

I want it to the ruins they explore to be something that connects to Sun and Moon; maybe we learn about Solgaleo and Lunala and how they could be connected with the XY legendaries.

I think it's more likely that this ruins the two explore will have something to do with Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde based on the "XYZ" in the title. Perhaps it could give some more backstory how all three are connected.

------

I think a Nintenzone Pokemon tournament is a great idea, but I don't think I'm going to participate in it because I don't have a proper team outside of one Pokemon that is EV and IV trained. If there's another tournament in the future and the Hyper Training feature is implemented well, I think I'll join it then.

 

[Champ Gold]

Oh look a mod that isn't a uncreative ****post or just a simple skin

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I want to join the tournament
But all my competitive mons are on a friend's pokebank
And I have NO items anymore because I tried a wonderlocke

It probably will be about the XY legends, but I would love to see a special that ties into Sun and Moon. It could be pretty neat.

And am I the only one with multiple battle ready competitive pokemon?

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Competitive pokemans has never been my thing I guess. I don't like all the weird stats and rng involved. I just wanna chill with some fake animals like a super causal. More power to ya with you like it tho.

 

[Fluttershy]

And am I the only one with multiple battle ready competitive pokemon?

Nnope I have like 9ish boxes filled with Competitive pokemon and also like almost half a box filled with pokemon i still need to raise and ev train

 

[Soul.]

And am I the only one with multiple battle ready competitive pokemon?

I've bred a few; the sets are VGC-focused however.

Then again this is Multi Battle and it's literally Doubles, so I guess it's fine

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So Riddler is doing their thing again.

Spoiler

They're hinting at Salandit's evolution and making people guess on what it's based on, they presented 4 options

1. Nine Tailed Fox
2. Cleopatra VII
3. Medusa
4. Siren

The other thing is this: "don't think you know everything about the starters just because of the latest news about their mid evolutions and the previous leak about their final evolutions. Of course, we're not talking about their skills, abilities, data, stats, etc. Some guesses about the three starters are also not true . The descriptions of starters also don't make things fully clear, the is only one truth: You don't know everything about the starters at all."

Starters don't have 2 forms is my guess

 

[Chrono.]

I'll have to skip out on the tournament, I've sold both Y and AS.

Which is something I kinda regret nowadays.

 

[Jaedrik]

Spoiler: Review: Japanese Gaming Restaurants (some explicit language)

Super Bunnyhop does it again. That darn noodle shot.

 

[Lord Dio]

My my, you people have been busy. 6 pages since I left for school this morning! Aside from the politics and Pokemon Generations......
HIGHWAY STAR IS HERE!

 

[Cutie Gwen]

My my, you people have been busy. 6 pages since I left for school this morning! Aside from the politics and Pokemon Generations......
HIGHWAY STAR IS HERE!

To people who didn't read the manga. Highway Star is the best thing to come out of this until the final showdown, and has one of the most iconic Josuke moments period

 

[Chrono.]

Starters don't have 2 forms is my guess

Well, fueling the speculation motors is that a while back Riddler also said "Rockruff and *beep* share the same gimmick".

It's pretty much up in the air but we should be finding out next week or so what the deal is.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Im sad people aren't talking about the actual song Highway star, beacuse Elite Beat Agents made me love that song

And because I wanted a damn zoroark to breed i've been playing for the past like. . hour at minimum to get one and it never showed up. And this is why I love showdown making it so I don't need to do any work.

[Wario Bros.]

And I went to GameStop where I picked up Paper Mario: Color Splash. Love the humor so far.

Also, I preordered

I don't know exactly, but I'm fine now xD

 

[Radical Bones]

I'll probably join Opossum . As a lot have already said, I don't have any EV trained Pokemon but who cares! This is more for fun than anything. I've defintely got something in my bank I can use.

Anyone who has a level 50 Pokemon somewhere should join
