Blast to the Past - Round 1

***RBG**** · Oct 15th, 2009, 11:10:29 AM

Approved by the Tourney Mod team!

Thanks to popular demand, and approval by earthworm, Latias is Out and Garchomp is in!

Blast to the Past!

General Smogon Rules

About a year ago, our metagame was thrown upside down with the new Platinum Tutors and Bullet Punch Scizor. Those were simpler times. And now, we will go visit them one more time. Who among us remembers how to build a team in DP? Can any of the new people adjust to the old metagame? Good luck to all!

This is a Single Elimination Tournament.
Logs are not required to confirm your victory, but would be nice.
You must PM me your team before you battle

WOOHOO, CHAWMP ATTACK!!!

Malfunction · Oct 15th, 2009, 11:20:59 AM

Will PM my opponent and set up a time for the battle.
Too much people for predictions, but some cool match-ups here.

Good luck people.

Lady Bug · Oct 15th, 2009, 11:29:02 AM

Cool, Garchomp is in, this should be fun.

ZandgaiaX · Oct 15th, 2009, 11:31:40 AM

Good thing it's weekend soon, so I can start making m'team. And screw Garchomp being in D: I see Garchomp's use high....

hanke · Oct 15th, 2009, 11:35:47 AM

\o/ GO CHOMP GO , i i'll contact my opponent ASAP

**Limitless** · Oct 15th, 2009, 11:47:56 AM

Sent a PM to my opponent.

polelover44 · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:01:26 PM

I have 2 opponents.

Blue_Tornado · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:09:13 PM

YEAH CHOMP YEAH!

Well, with that comes a big ouch for having to battle Twash, but oh well. Let's see how this is going to unfold.

PS: Due to crappy DP building skills, it'll probably take me a while to get the team done.

Raikaria · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:16:40 PM

Boo, Hiss, Chomp will be on every team because everyone wants to use it!

Time to exploit that fact!

Making my team as we speak. Gonna use Serebii to find the differences between Platinum and D/P.

All I can say, is, Scizor will be in the NU of OU this tourny.

EspyJoel · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:20:17 PM

Shall get to work on a team ASAP and then PM flamestrike.

B-Lulz · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:29:14 PM

Will get it done before the deadline but not straight away.

Yehom · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:32:48 PM

Why is Latias suddenly banned and Chomp unbanned?

**Limitless** · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:33:45 PM

Because that is the way it was during the DP era.

drcossack · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:50:10 PM

Just sent my team in, Limitless and I are working on a time.

Deep Thought · Oct 15th, 2009, 12:50:50 PM

Is there a resource available for team building that shows only D/P moves? If there is, I'd really appreciate it if someone could post it here.

GL TheFourthChaser, it may be a while before I have a team ready since I wasn't around pre-Platinum but I'll send you a PM when I do.

Kevin Garrett · Oct 15th, 2009, 1:09:41 PM

I'll PM locopoke and get this done soon.

joshe · Oct 15th, 2009, 1:11:34 PM

Lord Blood · Oct 15th, 2009, 3:11:00 PM

On a side note, good luck to franky, may the best man win. I'll PM him when I finish making the team.

I'll PM you my team ASAP, either today or tomorrow. GL to everyone.

Krack · Oct 15th, 2009, 3:20:21 PM
