VGC 2011 rules up!

[breh]

nah team preview will still be there I presume

but an event would be very nice... Earthquake/Rock Slide/Return/Swords Dance Excadrill anybody? Even better, Rock Slide/CC/RS/SD Terrakion :D

or it could be one of those wondertombs from a few months ago

Its a shame Sky drop is banned. It's a great move for doubles. Stormed the battle tower with it, didn't realise it was banned online.

Also, why does everyone keep using japanease names for pokemon

Sky Drop is glitched.

Metronome should also be banned imo, as when it selects Dig / Fly / Bounce and is Encored, the Pokémon using Metronome will stay in the semi-invulnerable state until it is knocked out or switched out.
Yeah, I know the odds of this happening are really low =P

hmm i cant get out of the feeling, that this year, the organisators of the event had many complications...the late annoucment , the poor , incorect or silly rules..its the first time that we are not allowed to chance our items -__-...

not changing items is due to the new battle box function in the games.

I also wonder how people will be assigned to their matches this year. Do you think it' semi-random like it was in the previous years or will the games feature some sort of pairing players against each other?

i don't like the issue rule either, no vespiquen or gengar? come on!
