​
Intro:
With the advent of Gen 5 came one of the largest, yet subtle shifts in battling was the Team Preview. Unlike previous generations, each trainer now came into battle knowing all 6 of their opponent's Pokemon. The effects of this has been debated, with some people claiming it made certain strategies (such as trapping and/or lures) easier, while others arguing it ruined the surprise factor. Regardless, there has not been a real consensus about the true effects of team preview, or lack thereof, and this tournament aims to explore this. Will not being able to see your opponent's Pokemon before the battle begins have a tangible effect on strategies, or will it just be a small stepping stone?

Tournament Rules
Battles are to be done on Pokemon Showdown, with both players using BW2 OU Teams, but challenging each other to a Custom Game (No Team Preview). Any players not using a LEGAL BW2 OU team will be kicked from the tournament. If both players agree, they can use Pokemon Online, disabling the Wi-Fi Clause.

Other standard tournament rules will be in effect - most notably the Timeout and Disconnect Clause and Rule Breaking. However, anyone found to be using an illegal team will immediately be excluded from the tournament, and their current opponent will receive a win.

Battle Rules
  • Custom Game (No Team Preview) will be utilized
  • All Pokemon in the BW2 OU tier and below are allowed
  • This tourney will be a Best of Three match
  • OHKO Clause

  • Species Clause

Ok so i contacted this guy called FLCL, i think Raseri is over exaggerated about this but anyway

i sipped a lot of espresso coffee in order to fight the other guy called TalkTakesTime in 7 am after only 6 hours of sleeping , so my body got overloaded with coffee, my caffeine powered brain started producing random rhymes like if it was absorption lines producing quasar , with speeds that exceeded 100 rpm (rhymes per second) so here is small poem that i wrote just before ten minutes using some of those rhymes , sorry if its asymmetric somewhere i hope you don't mind


Hes been through many matches
I mean look at his badges

My hype is high
Like a tide in July

//only in the south hemisphere cuz the moon is closer to earth during winter in the N hemisphere by 4%

My teams are very fly
They might help 'gainst this guy

I can beat FLLC [sic]
You just have to wait and see

Till then i will be programming in Java
Cause the exams are tough as touching lava
