Introduction

Retro Cup of Pokémon features all tiers absent from the World Cup of Pokémon. That means this year, it will be an RBY OU, GSC OU, ADV OU, DPP OU, BW OU, ORAS OU and SM OU tournament. Each national team is allowed 7 players, plus 3 substitutes (and no less). This tournament will feature 16 teams in the first round, with team formation priority given to WCoP 2020 teams (and based on round 1/qualifying ranks), followed by new teams that aren't supernations/rest-of-the-world. The latter rest-of-the-world will only be allowed if there are less than 16 teams. Qualify rounds will be created if there are more than 16 entrants, in a similar way to WCoP. For the first round, players will be randomly assigned into 4 groups of 4 for each generation (×7), with the top 8 teams with the most wins collected proceeding. The seeding tiebreak will be the highest ranking points (6 points for sole 1st, 4 points for sole 2nd and 2 points for sole 3rd, shared between spots if necessary) within the group, just like WCoP and then randomization as the secondary tiebreak. The qualifying rounds and round 2 matches will be full 7 vs 7 man matchups. RBY OU will be first-to-2-win! (best of 3 excluding ties), while the rest will be first-to-1-win!
In the event of a playoffs tiebreaker, captains of both teams will rank their preferred tiers from #1-#3. Points will be assigned to the ranks in the following way: #1 — 1000, #2 — 100, #3 — 10. The point values are arbitrary but represent the relationship of 1st choice > 2nd choice › 3rd choice when summed. The 3 tiers with the highest number of points will be selected for the tiebreaker set and managers will then choose any 3 unique players from each of their rosters to play in the determined tier spots. If there's a tie, the 3rd tier will be decided at random between the two.
Battle for the last place in RCoP!

Some predictions from my part

Argentina vs USSR (3-3)+1
RBY OU: mamawebos rodriguez
vs laqzan : (80-20) I know rodriguez so he's winning in 99.999.999 out of 100.000.000 worlds if the oppo don't crit high roll Psychics or full para 5 times in a row and stuff.
GSC OU: rdar vs Eric079 : (35-65)

I think the "join date" says everything and I can call him "UNVIABLE" already but it's GSC so everything is possible.
ADV OU: Kyundai vs Mister Tim : (35-65) Mister Tim is pretty good at ADV and Kyundai idk, but I have heard that name before so he's playing mons at least.
DPP OU: Makesuit vs Radli : (70-30) Idk who Radli is so I will quote Shake and say "UNVIABLE"
BW OU: MegaLucario vs Morale : (60-40) I saw MegaLucario playing and I know that he's good. Idk about Morale but I have heard that name before.
ORAS OU: Drypato8 vs Egor : (20-80) This will be an ownage.
SM OU: Gonz@lo vs Nazip : (50-50) For this one idk who's better so let's the mu + ingame decide.

Someone pm Shake to make the unbiased predicts too xD. If someone feels offended, take it as a joke. Prove me that I'm wrong and let's go.
