I am sorry about my week-long tardiness in getting this thread posted. I recently had finals and finished high school along with uni things. I will be much more stringent regarding deadlines now due to my free time. To see coinflips, click the Round 1 link and they are signified by italics. Activity posts and wins are signified by asterisks. If you have a problem with my decisions or I made a mistake, feel free to PM me and I am open to constructive criticism.
Introduction:
Tradeback: A Pokémon taught a move in a later game and traded back to the earlier game. Most notable in the first generation of Pokémon, where certain Pokémon could learn moves in the second generation which would augment their movepools.
This tournament will be allowing you to use GSC Tradebacks. This means you will have Amnesia Persian, Hypno, etc. making the metagame much more offensive, consequently very different. This tournament will be a test of seeing if you can adjust to the new metagame and play accordingly. For more information on RBY Tradebacks, you can view these two articles describing the more prominent tradebacks and Pokemon that benefit from them.
