I'm just trying to get psyched up for it. I don't want to be negative during battles, because then I'll lose. Imprison Bronzong is a nice idea, and I didn't say I'll dominate everyone. I know there will be some good people who I'll either lose to or barely get past.

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Of course, I just wouldn't want you to go in thinking its a free win every round because its juniors. There are plenty of solid players in both Junior and Senior divisions, it just seems like most of the Senior winners come from Smogon. It'll be nice to have you representing Smogon in the Junior division though.
I wasn't thinking it was a free round, and I'm happy that I'll be able to represent Smogon in the Juniors Division. Thing is, I need to practice a lot now for this. If I even want a chance at winning I need to start battling on a whole new level.
It seems interesting to partake in such an event...
Just a few questions, are platinum moves (theoretically) going to be legal?
How are regionals usually sorted out? I don't want to travel to far to take place in something in which I will probably lose. I have little talent for doubles.

yes they will be legal due to the fact that you will be forced, I believe, to use Platinum to be in this event. well last time they just put two sites in which 128 people from each age division (sadly iirc LA only made it to 64 people) and then they took the top 8 from each division and they battled each other in the Showdown against the Japanese. So until they tell us the sites, we don't know where they will take place.
1.I would guess so seeing how it will be out by that time.
2.Last year it was Califonia and New York. This year there should be more,but no promises tho.
If you have little talent for doubles, practice. mom always said practice made perfect and it is true.
"If practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect, why practice?"
Lol, but all joking aside, I don't think I am going to make either of those. I just am really too lazy to travel that far but I suppose I can at least make a team...
I don't get this at all. So, they go on the streets like Drug Dealers and ask people if they want to play some Pogeymanz? XD
What was the time limit on battles for the last tournament?
No. There was an Online Quiz you had to take and you needed i think an 80% to pass. it was multiple choise for questions like what does yache berry do. if more than 128 people passed the test, they would select 128 random people from those who passed.
each match had a 15 minute time limit.

I don't know if these questions whould go in the simple question thread, I hope i don't get infracted.
Can you use pokemon that are More than level 50?

Why would you get infracted for asking a question about the tournament? zerowing is cool, he doesn't do that.
at least, I hope he doesn't do that. :P
Pokemon are to be between 1 and 50. So nothing higher than lv. 50. I think it mentions the other rules on the front page ;)

So they don't automatically go to Lv. 50 as in the Battle Tower? :(
no. there are stratigic advantages to being lower than 50, and there is no way to force pokemon to 50 in the pokemon center.

To blackblastoise:
Youll have to train your double team to level 50 and then just let them collect dust in the PC to the tournument if you dont want them to go over the limit. At least, thats what I am doing :)

Are you refering to the battle tower? Also, your kind of lucky I guess the even though the two most commonly played levels are 50 and 100. 100 being more common due to online wi fi. Kind of boring not being able to really test your strategy unless you do an actual double cup with someone good by you but unfortunately, I am the only one in my whole school that knows how to EV train. Good because im the best in my entire school, bad because everyone else is an uber noob who doesnt know how to EV train
