Platinum Walkthrough Tournament - Signups

Your journey across Sinnoh has really just begun, but you’re not exactly wet behind the ears anymore. As you roll in to Eterna City you smile as you look to your waist and see all six belt slots filled with a Pokeball.

You stare down the Eterna City Gym ready to make a repeat of what happened to that loser Roark from Oreburgh Gym. Walking in you see a giant leaf clock in the middle of the room. Fighting a few trainers yields passage to Gardenia the leader. You proceed to make quick work of her Turtwig and flamboyent Roserade (how exactly is that thing a male!? O.O). Adding another badge to your case, you polish both your Coal and Forest badge until the gleam and sparkle! You place your newly acquired TM 86 in your bag and go on your merry way.

After hitting up the old man for his Explorer Kit you make your way down to the Sinnoh Underground.
A few hours and some sweat and toil has been very beneficial to your bag, producing quite a few new hold items, and even a Pokemon or two.

From the Gallactic Eterna Building to the Eterna Mueseum you explore the entire city from top to bottom. Exiting the bike shop with your brand new Bicycle courtesy of Rad Rickshaw you begin to make your preperations to leave, but not before…

“Who said you could leave without saying hello?”

Turning around you notice your rival standing there, tossing a Pokeball up and down in his hands.

“It wouldn’t be polite to just go without even comparing Pokemon, would it? How about a battle? 6 on 6 right here right now. You game?”

Not one to pass up a battle, you get off your bike and grab a Pokeball from your belt. Touching the center button, it grows. You lift it while saying

“I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life.”

The two of you throw your Pokeballs and the battle commences!

Awesome, i love the idea of this tourney.

I havent battled SoT, but i heard he is a very skilled player, so im nervous of our battle xD GL SoT.

But i have a question. Lets say, i choose Gyarados. I can use every move i want? Like Waterfall and EQ? Or we can only use the moves that the Pokemon can learn until level 20?

Only moves up to level 20, So the only level Up moves Gyarados gets are Splash, Tackle, and Bite.

Lol, thanks RB Golbat.

Everyone will now know me as the BiteGyara master!

Edit: Sorry for my ignorancy, but i have another question x_x

Lets say, i choose prinplup and i give him 80 EVs in Sp Attack and 70 EVs in Speed. Those EVs carry on for the next round? Or im able to change them?
Also, if i use my Grass Knot TM now on Monferno, GK will continue for the next round? Or maybe the moves disable and you get the TM back?
Basically, after this round, do we remake the team, or do we continue with the team we made for this round but with some moves, EVs changes?
 
If we use a TM/hold item, will we have it for later rounds or will it personally diappear? I assume it'll come back for simplicity's sake, but I'd just like to make sure. Also, unlimited berries?

Good luck everyone.

EDIT: No fossils?

You'll have it back for simplicity sake. And yes unlimited berries.

EDIT: No fossils?

You haven't been able to get back to the museum to revive them yet :(

Are Egg moves allowed?

Not yet. It's as if you were playing through the game and didn't trade to get new pokemon or use the GTS.
 
I'm working on making a base stat and movepool text document for this round to assist in team building.

Anyhow, Monferno has STAB Mach Punch, Taunt, and Flame Wheel. It seems like a mistake not to use it.
 
So Gyarados doesn't get access to Thrash if lets say theres an incident where you caught it by a rod.

At this point in the game you can not do that. But don't worry! If we keep things on the schedule, that we have, Move Relearner will be available next round.
 
That was fast SoT. Though it's not really hard to pick the "good" Pokemon and EV spreads are pretty linear ~_~

Items list has been updated too guys.

Why do you guys keep randomly adding Pokémon to the list after I build my team ?_? :( :( :(

Oh well, Aipom's a worse Lopunny.

I will send in my team by (hopefully) the end of today. Darkie is always on IRC so when I'm on, I will see if he is up for it. A tough match for me here against Darkie, especially as he is considered to be an excellent creative player! Good Luck.

EDIT: Am I allowed not to choose a starter? And if so, am I then allowed to choose it "permenantly" next round?

EDIT2: Or any following round?

aaaah EDIT 3: Tutor moves aren't allowed? I assume not as we can't reach them, but just checking.

ok another EDIT 4:

[20:57] <LegacyRaider> surely any item should be available
[20:58] <LegacyRaider> you have gts access

just incase!

Ahh fuck, now I need to re-edit my team. I hope that's alright, since there were a lot of things recently added.
