Secret Santa Year 2 Round 1

[makiri]

ROUND 2 will be up later tonight!

Deadline to complete battles for this round: Monday December 17th

Ok, that gives you time to mess around with your team then get your battles done, please PM your opponent and try to get these battles done by the deadline, the closer you get the sooner I may have to put in a sub and with only 2, I need everyone to get their battles done so we can see how this tournament goes, BOTH WINNER AND LOSER MUST PM THE LOGS, THIS IS AN ANTI CHEATING DEVICE. I know I can't check everything on your team, but please be honest and use the correct things (Poke/moves/etc) or risk being disqualified.

Rules:
Sleep Clause
Freeze Clause
No Self Ko on last pokemon
You MUST only use the team assigned to you
Logs MUST be PMed to me (this is necessary to ensure everyone used the correct team assigned to them)
If you watch another tournament battle while you are still in the tournament you will be disqualified (please do your part to prevent this by disallowing specs or putting Santa, SS, or something along those lines in your name)

[Calciphoce]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I have to face SePh first. But I've never faced him, and he's never faced me. Chances are extremely low. But I'll play anyway. I'll be eagerly expecting that PM.

 

[StrangerDanger]

Brawlex, it's kind of tacky to predict your own battles...especially when neither of us are getting our own teams? okay though.

Goborage vs JabbaTheGriffin--Sorry. I dont know Goborage, and Jabba's just got that winning reputation.
Maniaclyrasist vs Tsurukawa--Close one. But, in the end Ryo takes a bullet against our resident racist. Or lyricist, not quite sure.
Aeroblacktyl vs TheLexx--MOPMOPMOPMOP
gmax vs Judgement--Bringin' the hammer down.
Jackal vs Giga Punch--jackal over gigaposer
[.darkie] vs batpig--this guys good, that's all.
Ripchord vs AE Sakura--Sakura's a name i know. Ripchord i dont.
stark narb vs StrangerDanger--GG. Although, returning the favor. EDIT: Burn.
aamto vs husk--win for the white whale.
CaptKirby vs Firestorm--This is one i wasn't sure of, so i flipped a coin.
SePh vs Calciphoce--oh my god i lol'd at this matchup.
Slickee vs Great Sage--Sage is great for a reason.
Ace777 vs TheBM--yeah go evan :D!!!
3N3MY vs Lawman--Enemy's a name i know, and Lawman had a 'i could be banned' status for a while iirc.
Sonuis vs BlueKirby--sorry BK but i have to go for Sonius
Fishinvs Mystica--all i know about mystica is she works hard, and had a tough break facing Super coober in R1 of the other tourney. The force is strong with this one.

 

[Fishin]

Hey, at least one person thinks I can win!

One question - the pokemon at the top of the list is the one you have to use as a lead, right? Just wanted to confirm this.

 

[Lawman]

I would imagine so...

I just got my team, so I look foward to battling with it =D

 

[makiri]

Everyone should have their team now, if you don't pm me. Remember you can use this team whenever you want, just make sure you use it when you battle your opponent.

EDIT: To answer your question Fishin, no put whatever order you would like.

 

[Jackal]

i hate the team i got lol ;(

oh wellss

 

[Brawley]

I'm probably not gonna get far with this team. :(
Also I know you guys aren't bashing my team, its pure awesome. :)

 

[Aeroblacktyl]

this team wants me to quit pokemon.

completely.

forever.

but nonetheles it'll show how awesome i am for winning with a shit team =[

 

[JabbaTheGriffin]

i hope none of you guys are bashing my team :/

but i'm in the same boat as you guys, the team i got is so ass.

 

[Calciphoce]

Funny, the team that I got is something that I always wanted to try anyway. Although, I must say that it is executed quite badly. I'm sorry, but this person seems to be really bad at spreading EVs. Either that or there's something I'm missing. But wow, going up against one of the best players with one of the worst teams (IMO)...I'm going to need all the luck I can get.

 

[Blue Kirby]

With everyone complaining about getting such bad teams, where did all the good ones go?

Though I must say, I'm not really complaining too much about mine ...

 

[aamto]

hmm so little of you have faith in me.

also i hope none of you all is talking shit about my really good team =D

 

[Gmax]

Oh well, I'll give this my best shot. PM sent to Judgement.
