Rules
  • Follow all rules listed here.​
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when we can actually see what went down with scheduling.​
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.​
  • Substitutions may be made after a week as started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.​
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.​
  • Post replays. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later. They're also required.​

Predictions!

Game Corner Gholdengos (3) vs (5) Trick House Treeckos
SV: Gtcha vs RoyalReloaded - “Gtcha” gives off a sneaky, prankster vibe, but “RoyalReloaded” sounds like a regal combatant coming back with upgrades. Power and grandeur win this round.
SV: Rinda vs Sificon - “Rinda” feels soft and lyrical, while “Sificon” sounds like a synthetic weapon or a sci-fi convention overlord. Edge goes to Sificon for tech intimidation.
SV: Aeran vs PandaDoux - “PandaDoux” (doux = "soft" in French) is adorable, but “Aeran” is clean, sharp, and airy—like a disciplined warrior monk. The monk wins over the plush panda.
SV: Xiri vs yedla - Short, edgy, and futuristic. “yedla” feels grounded and maybe old-school, but “Xiri” has that mysterious AI-rogue energy.
SS: schwipper vs Shiba - “Shiba” evokes the cute but cunning dog breed, beloved and dangerous in memes. “schwipper” sounds fun but unserious. The dog pounces.
SM: Iggy96 vs drizzle - “Iggy96” is a classic gamer handle, but “drizzle” is cool, calm, and elemental. The rain defeats the retro tag.
ORAS: zIcarus vs Trouser Snakes - “zIcarus” is mythic and sleek, with a techy twist thanks to the “z.” “Trouser Snakes” is cheeky and bold, but the mythological edge beats the innuendo.
BW: nomadderwhat vs crash - “nomadderwhat” is resilient, but “crash” is fast, violent, and absolute. Sometimes, force trumps perseverance.

Balding Baltoys (4) vs (4) Melemele Meloettas
SV: Whitespaniard vs Cielau - “Whitespaniard” is historical and dramatic, but “Cielau” sounds ethereal (like ciel = “sky” in French). Sky trumps empire this time.
SV: LoSconosciuto vs blittius - “LoSconosciuto” (“The Unknown” in Italian) oozes mystery and danger. “blittius” feels more like a side character in a Roman satire. The unknown strikes.
SV: Fraolain vs Masskeau - “Fraolain” is gentle and lyrical—possibly Irish or fantasy. But “Masskeau” is denser and sounds like a masked warrior or a cold-blooded tactician. Masskeau overwhelms.
SV: Dieu Amphibien vs QWILY - “Dieu Amphibien” means “Amphibian God.” That’s hard to top. “QWILY” is punchy but can’t take down a divine frog being.
SS: maki vs Master Chief - “maki” is smooth and sushi-like, but “Master Chief” brings in Halo energy and a full Spartan arsenal. The Chief doesn’t lose.
SM: terrors vs Toadow - “Toadow” is creative—a mash of toad and shadow?—but “terrors” is blunt, plural, and ominous. Pure fear wins.
ORAS: Jojo8868 vs dawnmidst - “Jojo8868” feels like a classic old-school tag, but “dawnmidst” is poetic and eerie—like a scene in a fantasy novel. The mist takes it.
BW: DAHLI vs Gelbel3c - “Gelbel3c” feels robotic and clunky. “DAHLI” is clean, maybe referencing the flower, or even a play on Dali (the artist). Art and elegance win.

Hearthome Honchkrows (2) vs (6) Straw Hatterenes
SV: vk vs Azick - “vk” is minimalist and cool, but too vague. “Azick” sounds sharper, edgier — like a rogue assassin or sleek coder tag. Z > V here.
SV: Tarre25 vs Leafium Z - “Tarre25” is a standard online tag. “Leafium Z,” on the other hand, directly evokes Pokémon flair — a Z-Crystal, nature-themed power. Bonus points for canon flavor.
SV: clean vs Stories - Tough one. “clean” is bold and minimalist, but “Stories” evokes mystery, depth, and narrative force. Hard to beat a name that promises layers.
SV: Larry vs Uta The Clown - “Larry” is… Larry. Could be strong in its simplicity. But “Uta The Clown” is chaotic, theatrical, and creepy in a villainous way. The clown causes psychological damage.
SS: Seo. vs dunoks - The period gives “Seo.” finality and confidence. “dunoks” is quirky but uncertain. Seo. feels like a name you remember after a tournament.
SM: Splash vs Dj Breloominati♬ - “Splash” is classic but basic. “Dj Breloominati♬” is absurd, brilliant, and Breloom-based conspiracy theory DJ energy. The musical chaos wins by charisma alone.
ORAS: Foolycl vs SEA - “Foolycl” is curious but reads a bit scrambled. “SEA” is elemental, vast, and ominous. SEA drowns the fool.
BW: Sabella vs Cow - “Cow” is hilarious and potentially meta, but “Sabella” has elegance, gravitas, and sounds like a champion in a fantasy novel. Grace beats bovine absurdity.

Driftveil Dreamchasers (0) vs (8) Bell Tower Braves
SV: Floss vs Fusien - “Floss” is flashy but soft. “Fusien” feels like fusion energy—unstable, powerful, and futuristic. Too hot to handle.
SV: adjustments vs LBN - “adjustments” is practical, but “LBN” is sleek and mysterious—like a top-secret agency or underground prodigy. Initialism wins.
SV: LogIce vs feen - “LogIce” feels like a Pokémon move or an icy lumberjack. “feen” is short, stylish, and maybe even sinister. The one-word tag has the killer edge.
SV: crow crumbs vs Rio Vidal - “crow crumbs” is poetic and crunchy. But “Rio Vidal” sounds like a world-famous racer, flamenco guitarist, or stylish rogue. The name just walks in and wins.
SS: DugZa vs TJ - "DugZa” is fun, but “TJ” is that classic two-letter tag that somehow always shows up in finals. Simple. Deadly. Undefeated.
SM: Hacker vs Tenebricite - “Hacker” is intimidating, but “Tenebricite” sounds like a rare, cursed gemstone found deep beneath a Gothic cathedral. Elegant menace wins.
ORAS: twinkay vs CyberOdin✝ - “twinkay” is playful, but “CyberOdin✝” is literally a resurrected Norse god with a digital cross. You don’t beat techno-deity energy.
BW: Dusk vs Jolly Togekiss - “Dusk” is cool, dark, and brooding. But “Jolly Togekiss” is an absurd paradox: aggressively cheerful and hurling Serene Grace Air Slashes. Joy wins — by flinch-lock.

These are the matchups for a team Pokemon tournament ordered by generation. Based purely on the players’ names, predict the winner of each matchup.

A couple predicts since adjustments 's lazy ass asked me. Again, since I like to be fancy, highlight games for me will be highlighted like this

Game Corner Gholdengos (2) vs (6) Trick House Treeckos
SV: Gtcha vs RoyalReloaded - Royal has been motivated to put on a good record + has more experience
SV: Rinda vs Sificon - Both good players and good friends, but I feel Rinda's ingame a bit sharper
SV: Aeran vs PandaDoux - haven't seen much of PandaDoux and Aeran is undefeated, so
SV: Xiri vs yedla - A fun matchup to watch, I'll bold the french coz they are seemingly in a hot streak
SS: schwipper vs Shiba - Two good clickers, I'm almost considering this a tossup, but i will give a 0.01% edge to Shiba due to experience
SM: Iggy96 vs drizzle - From what I remember, I really enjoyed drizzles games
ORAS: zIcarus vs Trouser Snakes - It's fun to see Icarus motivated to put up a good record but I think Coo will outsmart him on prep and potentially ingame
BW: nomadderwhat vs crash - My boy Crashy will win this to get a much needed confidence boost for him and his team

Driftveil Dreamchasers (1) vs (6) Bell Tower Braves
SV: Floss vs Fusien - Two undefeated players, gonna bold Fusien due to Ace Attorney reasons
SV: adjustments vs LBN - I think LBN's ingame is sharper, but adjustments can win if he lands on a favorable matchup
SV: LogIce vs feen - I don't know anything about LogIce :(
SV: crow crumbs vs Rio Vidal - Fun strategy bringing Rio from sv1 to sv4 and I think the Braves will get rewarded for it
SS: DugZa vs TJ - As much as it brings me immense pain to bold Dugza, he unfortunately is good at the game, what can i say :(
SM: Hacker vs Tenebricite - Tenebricite has acquired main protagonist buff from the Mono Cup Situation, kinda impossible to lose
ORAS: twinkay vs CyberOdin✝ - I don't know what to say here, haven't watched their games and the records are kinda similar too
BW: Dusk vs Jolly Togekiss - JT winning three games in a row against three amazing opponents after being ranked last in power rankings is a nice surprise, his crazy ideas are being rewarded and let's see what he keeps up bringing

Balding Baltoys (4) vs (3) Melemele Meloettas
SV: Whitespaniard vs Cielau - I think Cielau's SV overall is stronger than baby trichotomy's
SV: LoSconosciuto vs blittius - This guy has been playing really well, truly a steal having him for 6.5k
SV: Fraolain vs Masskeau - Very very very similar ingame skills, will come down to which team preps better
SV: Dieu Amphibien vs QWILY - Despite having a good record, Dieu's ingames lately have been responsible for the lack of hair of several monotype members, which makes me inclined to bold the opponent
SS: maki vs Master Chief - surely SURELY we don't live in a timeline where maki goes 0-5 on ss right...........
SM: terrors vs Toadow - A pretty fun matchup between previous circuit winner and someone stablished on oldgens, I will bold the french due to recency bias.
ORAS: Jojo8868 vs dawnmidst - I don't know much about dawnmidst and Jojo has proved he can play extremely well if he wakes up in a good day. Question is, will he be in a good day when they play?
BW: DAHLI vs Gelbel3c - Definitely the highlight BW game, I am gonna bold Dahli purely because I think his ingame is a tad better but it's another very close matchup
