UPDATE: On 01/08/2007, around 20:00u GMT, there will be a NEW THREAD with more info on how this gets started. I am not going to include all 64 (I hope I counted correctly - if I didn't, PM me ASAP), I'm going to do 48, and to weed out the 16 that aren't going to battle in time, I thought up something nice. Since time is a factor, I am announcing this now.
Anything below this line was already there.

Standard Rules
Sleep Clause
Freeze Clause
Species Clause
Self-KO Clause
Battle Timeout
No Evasion or OHKO
Tournament Specific Rules
First off, only level-up moves are allowed. This led to some debates. To solve your rows:
- Smeargle is only allowed Sketch, Tackle and Splash. Sketch because it's technically its only move and Tackle and Splash to mock you. I'm also mostly doing it because it's overpowered.
- Moves you get only by FRLG level-up are allowed. So Charizard can use Heat Wave and Metal Claw.
- Moves pre-evo's only learn are allowed, even if you have to breed for them. I couldn't really find anything like this on NetBattle's database, it just puts everything at level-up. The biggest change in this is probably Breloom using Spore.
- Shedinja can use any level-up move NetBattle lets him use.
- Obviouslybutsincesomeoneasked: XD/NYPC/Box etc moves are banned.
After careful consideration, the following Pokemon are banned:
- Wynaut
- Wobbuffet
- Mewtwo
- Celebi
- Lugia
- Ho-oh
- Kyogre
- Groudon
- Latios
- Latias
- Rayquaza
- Deoxys (all forms)
- Jirachi
That's right, I left Mew unbanned. Mew gets Ancientpower, Pound, Mega Punch, Metronome, Pound, Psychic and Transform - that's one useful move and one okay move.
I really looked at all ubers to see if I could allow them but they were all just a notch above the usual things.
- Wynaut/Wobbuffet are obvious because of stalemate and them maintaining their ENTIRE movepool
- Mewtwo basically forces everyone to use a Dark-type because it maintains Psychic, Future Sight, Amnesia, Barrier, Safeguard and Recover
- Celebi is banned because it still has Heal Bell, Leech Seed and Recover, and coupled with possibly Perish Song and Future Sight it could gay up the metagame of underpowered Pokemon.
- Lugia still has Recover, Aeroblast, Hydro Pump, Whirlwind, Future Sight and Safeguard. Enough good attacking moves to fuck up a lot of stuff, and with Safeguard/Recover it can tank really safely, especially since a lot of things got stripped off their usual attacking power.
- Ho-oh is imo debatable but I banned it anyway because Sacred Fire is really good compared to what everything else gets. It can also Sunny Day and Safeguard, making Waters useless. Round out the set with Recover and you're basically safe-switchinless.
- Kyogre and Groudon are so obvious to ban I'm not even going to explain.
- Latios/Latias are too annoying with Dragonbreath and Psychic. I also always loathe allowing things getting Recover/Safeguard because they're so damn hard to get around with lots of things losing power. Levitate makes them dodge one of the few naturally learned good moves, Earthquake.
- Rayquaza is an odd one. If I would allow Ho-oh I would allow this one as well because he can Rest off Sacred Fires and he can Ancientpower Ho-oh to hell. Then again, Dragon Dance and Extremespeed are both really good, and its attacking stats are however you put it really big.
- Deoxys maintains Psycho Boost, Spikes, Knock Off, Recover and all sorts of other shit I don't want to see here.
- Jirachi, on second thoughts, is banned. I thought all it had was Psychic and Doom Desire but then again
<Sonuis> Jirachi
<Mekkah> yes?
<Mekkah> you think it's too good or something?
<Sonuis> Psychic, Doom Desire, Wish, Double-Edge ; Two 2x weaknesses, massive amount of resistances, etc.
<Sonuis> Yeah, I definitely think so.
Any questions about what is allowed and whatnot that are not answered can be posted. You can sign up here as well. I'd say I should be able to get 64 people but you never know. This should just become Single Elimination since everything else tends to die.
If you're going to be inactive I'm going to get you on the "banned from joining"-list, infract you, or both. Just a warning. There will be easy deadlines early on, if you cannot make them you're not active enough.
EDIT: also fucking in
No egg moves you dumbasses.

Note that being on here doesn't mean you're in automatically, I have received a very grief warning from the feared Tournament moderator MoP that this tournament should run smoothlier than Back When Pokemon Was Text, which means I get to reject people. I'm currently throwing around the idea to do 32 with people that I know they'd get their battle done. I know 64 would be insane after all, I'd rather have more subs. 48 is an option too but I'll leave it open for another day or so to see how it develops!
Also check if I missed you or not. It happens and it's easier for everyone including me but also you and opponents and Santa if you just say it here.
