Title: Pokemon Universe Community Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 10, 2011, 10:38:19 PM
With the moderate success of the Elemental Elites' small tourney, we would like to extend the same experience to the whole community. The Elemental Elites will be hosting a tournament with all guild allowed to enter.

Each guild will be represented by 3 of it's  members. Battling will take place on the Pokemon Online battle simulator. Each match will consist of a best 2 of 3 battling style. The winner of the tourney will be featured in an upcomming PU trailer. The finals of the tounrey will also be recoreded and put on the internet as a means to attract new players to PU.

EDIT: Thanks to Level5Pidgey's supports, the winner of the tournament will also have the honnor of becoming a balance tester for the game!

Teams should be set up to follow PU's battling system as close as possible.
Battle Rules:



If you are not part of a guild and would like to particapate, you can sign up as a team. You must still bring 2 other people to particapate with you. For those wanting to sign up, please fill out an entry form and PM the form to me. Thanks and we hope this tourney turns out successful! (:

Is your team adept at competative battling? Yes


I decided to fill this out as an example. You, me, and Roloc are the three best, so we should be doing this. Unless one of our other members really really wants to do it.

Well, we did best in the tourney. You weren't in, were you? Maybe I should just say we're really good.

I guess so. I'll be active in 5-4 days. btw.

Just quickly, note that in PU, Species Clause may not be in effect.

I'm not 100% sure, I'll work it out.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 11, 2011, 12:41:39 PM
I really am only putting species clause in because people can and will try to use a full team of Slamence or something crazy. Also normally in pokemon mmos, when someone creates a tounrey they themselves will enforce species clause.

I may need to freelance a team. None of my guild members seem to want to join. either that, or the knights won't be in this tourney.

I'll freelance too (my guild is already represented) if you'd like it. Then we would need 1 more member to be complete.

Actually, two members are in, so I just need to submit.

L5P, you should find 2 other admins and make a team to join this tourney. I wanna emphisize on how everyone in this community can particapate. If people see that that admins are willing to join then maybe this can be a pretty big tournament.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Shadowfred on September 11, 2011, 03:57:07 PM
I'm up for it. We'd just need one more, perhaps Ponge?
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Level5Pidgey on September 11, 2011, 03:58:43 PM
Yeah, Ponge or Kam I suppose.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament

Perfect! Just send me an entry form when you decide (:
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Desbear on September 11, 2011, 08:36:17 PM
Hey Noah, could we have a team that's made up of some of us that couldn't get in the turny regularly?because well, some of us didn't do as well in the EE turny, but I think we might do well in this turny, or atleast we would have a chance.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 11, 2011, 08:42:42 PM
I have no problem with it but I would ask Chad first. If we can get more teams to enter than we would need an extra team from EE.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Mr. Fox on September 11, 2011, 08:50:09 PM
I could form another team if you want to.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Desbear on September 11, 2011, 08:56:11 PM
Who said I was thinking just from the EE? I may be able to form a team(including me) with some other people from PU,and if I can't from PU I will get the 2 people from PO, so can I make a lil team from PO or PU and enter? Not fighting for the EE? and if I have to fight for the EE okay, I have 2 people in the EE that I bet are willing to help, yes fox you are one of the two I was thinking.


Meowth used: wall of text attack!

I'm in (with my monoteam of course) ;)
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 11, 2011, 09:14:15 PM
I'm waiting for one of the admins (or Mr.Fighting) to send me an entry form. I'm not really sure on who's all in the team.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Shadowfred on September 12, 2011, 01:51:44 AM
I've sent a PM. I don't know what our collective preffered PO server is though. I just said the main one because I assume it is fine.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 12, 2011, 01:53:29 AM
Alright. I'll be adding you. Good luck (:
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament

So do I need to ask you or Chad before I make my little team?
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Chad29 on September 12, 2011, 04:40:08 AM
I say go ahead.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Desbear on September 12, 2011, 05:03:10 AM
Noah, should I make team fighting for the EE? or make a team that isn't fighting for a guild?

Don't forget Roloc, he's a really strong battler.

Post by: Noah_Road on September 12, 2011, 11:18:18 PM
Yeah Mr.Roloc is incredibly strong. I'm getting a good feeling about the turn out of this tounrey. Can we have someone advertise this a bit on the irc chat? I wanna get as many teams as possible.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament

I would ask why I'm not on that list, but I haven't played non-PU in so long it's affecting my judgement. "Oh man, that guy is way faster than me, better switch", turns out they weren't.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Roloc on September 13, 2011, 02:50:40 AM
I had that same problem when the EE tourny started.  I reverted to my old ways fast though.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Level5Pidgey on September 13, 2011, 03:17:48 AM
I haven't played non-PU Pokemon in a while - my maths might be out honestly.

I'm gonna be thinking like "Oh man, a Butterfree, better switch out", when... well... it's sort of laughable in normal Pokemon.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 13, 2011, 03:32:38 AM
I finally have a counter to Volcarona!! As long as I can switch right and it doesn't get more than one QD then I'm good. Too bad Mr.Bug is on my team...

I never had a battle with you, so I wouldn't be able to tell if I should be worried or not.

I doesn't need to :PBy the time Volcarona get's 2+ it's ready for a Extremespeed knockout.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 13, 2011, 08:59:50 PM
Volcarona can easily set up without taking even half of its health of damage. Trust me I know. It can also use morning sun to recover any damage its taking whilst setting up.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Desbear on September 13, 2011, 09:53:58 PM
I have one person, i just need one more, anyone?

edit: NVM, what should i put for the guild? i want us to be able to use whatever team we want so i am not gonna put it with the EE.

Will I have to counter Grachomp, Blaziken?

Is Ninetales Uber yet?
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Jerry on September 14, 2011, 09:54:28 PM
By PO, it is considered Uber, as is Hippowdon.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament

Awesome. I hope the tourney's OU then XP I hate dealing with Hippo and NT XP

Ninetails and Hippodown are only Uber in the monotype tier. They are both OU elsewhere. Since the only "Uber" in PU is legendaries, I would suggest being able to counter Garchomp and Blaziken.

Alright, Fox, I'm still waiting on whether or not you're entering. Idealy, if we can get about 7-8 teams we can start. I'm gonna give registrations until Monday (Spet. 18th) and then we'll see where we're at. Again, if anyone could help me advertise this a bit on the irc chat it would be a big help.

Would I be allowed to switch up the order of my team in between matches?  Not rounds.  Like could I make Infernape my lead when I normally use Hitmonlee to lead?  I use both on my team anyway.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Chad29 on September 16, 2011, 07:22:17 PM
I don't see why not. In the tournament I was in, I had different teams altogether. They were still partly or pure water, of course.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Guild Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 16, 2011, 10:11:28 PM
Note that each member of a team is only going to battle once per round. However it will still be a best 2 of 3 style.

E.g.

Team A: Member 1 vs Team B: Member 1-Team B wins
Team A: Member 2 vs Team B: Member 2-Team A wins
Team A: Member 3 vs Team B: Member 3-Team A wins

Team A would in the round and advnace in the tournament.

I've changed the name of the tournament to emphisize on the fact that anyone, guild or not, can join the tourney. With that being said I am going to step up my efforts to advertise this tournament. We need at least 2 more teams for this tournament to run smoothly. If you do not have a team yet and would like to join, you can either ask members from the Fruit Punch guild, ask around the community, or even ask a friend from another forum/real life.

If you do not have a team member and would like to join please PM me and I'll see if I can help you set up a team.

Ice W.A needs a partner so maybe you two could PM each other then find a 3rd member? Either way I may or may not extend the due date since 6 teams makes a VERY awkward bracket.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Community Tournament
Post by: Mr_Dark on September 18, 2011, 10:28:58 PM
Alright just a little announcement. This tournament is now officially "sponsored" and hosted by Pokemon Universe.

What does this mean?
It means that Pokemon Universe..
- will host the PO Battle server, so everyone is playing with the same rules
- will try to live stream all battles so everyone can spectate the matches and see what's going on
- is going to try to have commentators on each live stream to commentate the battle
- more?

A little thing about the live battle stream. We're currently checking out the possibilities, so we can't give much info on this.

If you know people from other communities who would like to join this tournament, feel free to invite them. Happy playing and let's make this something we can repeat in the future :D

Thank you, Mr.Dark!! With the tourney being "sponsored", I will be moving the due date back until Wednsday, September 21st to give us some time to get people from other communities involved. After that, the set "start" date of the tournament will be Saturday, September 24th.

Once again, PM me if you still need a team member and I will be happy to help you find one.

I just got a message from HunterStride saying he won't be able to do the tourney due to a vacation. So, I have one spot open for anyone who wishes to join.
EDIT: Found my third, so yeah, offer is off.

I could host the server, and we could use the PU database if you guys really wanted XP

I love the idea but very few people actually know the competative changes that would ensue by using the PU database. I feel as though it would put some people at a disadvantage.

Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Community Tournament
Post by: Chad29 on September 22, 2011, 04:47:32 AM
Noah, if it happens that there's an odd number of teams, you may want to just limit the tourney to however many teams it takes to work smoothly, rather than try to make it work with an uneven number. Though with the deadline so close, it may be to late to think about which team gets the boot.
Title: Re: Pokemon Universe Community Tournament
Post by: Noah_Road on September 22, 2011, 05:40:11 AM
Registration closes in 20 minutes. I feel like we have an even number of teams for the tourney because I think there are a few teams that might not be able to make it. I've made a practice bracket and it looked pretty even so I think we'll be fine.

EDIT: Registration is now over! I will be sending every member of the tournament a PM within the next day to explain how the tournament is going to take place. Thank you all for your particapation (:

Be sure to let me know, because I have the stream and commentators set up.

Also. We've created a chat channel for this tournament. Just join the regular channel by clicking on the CHAT button in the top menu. When you are connected type the following line:
/join #PU_Tournament

The Pokemon Online Battle server information:

If there need to be any special rules, let me know and I'll add them.

The live stream can be found at:

If you want to battle against someone, join the chat channel and let someone know, then we can set up some commentators and stream the battle. Just for fun and testing purpose :)

Yeah you did a good job comming to the finals without our teammates :)

Anyway.. Congratz to Elemental Elites for winning the first Pokemon Universe Community Tournament. We had some great response to this event so we probably be doing this more often, but hopefully more organized ;)

I'd like to thank everyone for participating and making this a great weekend!

P.s. I'm wondering.. who where actually listening to the stream instead of spectating in PO?

Post by: Level5Pidgey on September 26, 2011, 01:06:19 AM
Congrats! Next tourney should defs use a balance server :3
It will get rid of some problems like team predicting and me having a big mouth when commentating XD

Also possibly seed the tourney battles such that the best teams meet in the finals - I would argue that EE and PU Balance Team were 2 of the biggest threats, so to knock one out in Round 1 means that the most exciting battles were likely too early. most tournaments attempt to separate the top threats early.

Also teams need to be more ready and timezones need to be sorted out better, so everyone's available when they need to be, but, for a first tourney, that's always the case ^_^

But overall, congrats EE!
We'll have to do this again soon, I had a lot of fun!

 I had great fun. Whenever I wasn't commentating I was listening to stream. I must say the 'Most Fun' was commentating with Silver and Gammal. Although me beating Gammal was a close run for that title...

 Anyways great job EE and the rest of the people who applied and actually participated. Hope to see another one, and like Pidgey said, on the PU Server.
