Pika Cup

[Deleted member]

This idea is based on Stadium Cups from the Pokémon Stadium games and Pokémon Battle Revolution.

The basic premise is using pokémon that have already evolved and can evolve again, in other words the "middle" evolution, the pokémon that are too weak for normal play and (most) don't qualify for Little Cup, the ones who would otherwise be condemned to obscurity (At least in competitive play).

That part is simple, but what about the 1-stage evolution pokémon? Or the ones that don't evolve? Would they be allowed? If so, which?

Maybe implementing a level cap, and the ones that evolve before the cap are allowed.
Or maybe simply not allowing pokémon above a certain tier (besides the 2-stage evolutions, of course)

Thoughts? Input?

This could probably have been more suited for either our Tournament Discussions thread or the Q & A Thread.

Very similar, but it looks like that one wouldn't allow NFE that haven't evolved, and no level cap, either.

I don't know how I managed to miss that, I'll post there and request a lock here.
Would either of you happen to have mod powers?

Level caps are usually set balanced for everything anyways. And NEE is basically NFE.

Neither of us do, but I'll report this to the To-Do List.
