With the sudden shutting down of users being voiced from peaking the monthly official room tournament leaderboard, many have been questioning what purpose the officials even serve. Today marks the beginning of a new project to bring back purpose to tryharding as many official tournaments as possible:
The purpose of this thread is not only to serve as the announcement of this project's beginning, but also a page where users may see their current balance and spend their currency however they see fit. What is this currency, you may ask? It is none other than the total points you've accrued on the leaderboard by the end of each month. These points will be copied from the leaderboard before it is cleared for next month and maintained here in the pristine currency unit that we will refer to as: The Kyubit.
Before all else, you need a smogon account in order to post your registration here. You can make your own smogon account >>here<<

- Kyubits are tied to the Score value that determines each player's rank on Scrappie's leaderboard. At the end of each month, after the final official tournament before the board is wiped, the Scores of the top 100 players will be gathered and presented below. Users who have verified their PS accounts will have their scores added to their Kyubit Balance presented in the post below this one. Look towards the bottom of this post for instructions on how to verify your account!
- Alts will NOT be included in this, on account of how easy it is to farm several hundreds of points.
- Any and all purchases must be done in this thread through use of a Smogon account. Users who do not have a Smogon account will not be able to use their Kyubits for purchase.
- In addition to purchases and account verification, this thread may be used for suggesting new prizes! See below for a list of prize suggestions that have been rejected:
-
- Roomvoice
- Smogon Tournaments
-
- Kyubits are to be spent in this thread on any of the given prizes below:
| Cost | Prize |
|---|---|
50 Kyubits | Custom Room Tournament - You may request a tournament in the 1v1 Room of any kind, at any time. For the convenience of our staff, complex roomtour banlists must be provided in the form of a "/tour rules" command, otherwise staff will be at their disposal to reject your request. (Note: You can probably get most tours by just requesting them without paying anyways, so I'd suggest saving your Kyubits for when you're feeling something REALLY big or spicy.) (Note 2: Complex tournament formats that require staff supervision may not be doable at all times. If your tournament requires staff supervision and nobody seems willing to help, try to catch me online and I'll help as best as I can!) |
100 Kyubits | Custom Room Poll - You may create a room poll with up to 8 options to choose from. The cost is by the day, so make sure you clarify in your purchase post how many days you want the poll to stay up (1 week = 700). The 1v1 staff reserve any and all right to not go through with a purchase if the requested poll contains any inappropriate wording or harassment of other users. |
500 Kyubits | Custom Roomintro Message - You can leave any kind of (appropriate) message in the roomintro for a week. The cost is by the week, so make sure you clarify in your purchase post how many weeks you want the message to stay up (4 weeks = 2000 Kyubits). The cost may NOT be split down to be used for days instead of weeks. |
1000 Kyubits | New Roomintro Mascot: Your choice of a new Pokemon to replace the Pokemon we have in our current roomintro. Purchases will last until someone else purchases a new roomintro mascot, though the initial purchase will be immune from replacement for 1 month (30 days). To prevent people from bogarting the mascot, you may only make this purchase for a single month at a time. |
1000 Kyubits | Kyubit Miner Discord Role - This Discord role is effectively just a trophy to show that you're good at grinding official tours. It will apply to the main 1v1 Discord as well as the 1v1 Tours Discord. |
500 Kyubits | Kyubit Miner Title Change - You will be allowed to change the name of your Kyubit Miner role to whatever you wish (so long as it is appropriate). Only one rename per purchase, must have Kyubit Miner role before being able to purchase. |
500 Kyubits | Kyubit Miner Color Change - You get to choose a custom color for your Kyubit Miner role (provide either a hex code or color reference in your purchase post). Only one color change per purchase, must have Kyubit Miner role before being able to purchase. |
Before all else, you need a smogon account in order to post your registration here. You can make your own smogon account >>here<<
In order to activate your Kyubits for spending, you must first make an account verification post:
- Log on to Pokemon Showdown using the account of yours that you see present in the Leaderboard Top 100 above.
- Take a screenshot that shows proof of ownership over said account (specifically the username in the upper right corner!).
-
- Users may only verify one account per month.
-
- Post it here to claim your account and accrue your earned Kyubits for the month.
-
- If you use the same account that you've already verified for official tournaments, you do not need to verify it again.
-
- The Top 100 of last month will be deleted by the time the current month ends, including any and all unclaimed accounts.
- Joint purchases are allowed, but require a post of approval from every user involved in the post. Joint purchases for things like a Kyubit Miner role, however, may only go to one person at a time.
- After some consideration, direct transfers of Kyubits have now been allowed!
- All transfers must be done directly in this thread.
- I reserve the right to disallow people from transferring Kyubits if it seems like you're just trying to spam the thread.
