First Round

The first round match-ups have been determined!

The rules for the tournament are the following: each trainer may use up to three Pokemon in a series of single battles. Pokemon may be switched in and out at any time. No Enlightened abilities or items may be used in these battles, including passive abilities. (Of course, you may cheat ICly, but this will be frowned upon and may lead to disqualification depending on the severity of the infraction.)

We need a winner from each pairing by 2/26, so please post the results of your match here whenever you've decided on a winner. If we have not received a decision by this time, we'll need to randomize a winner. If you are having difficulty getting ahold of your partner, let us know with a PM and we'll work something out. You may, of course, continue to backtag past this date; we don't actually expect that people will finish their matches so quickly ICly.

The IC post for the first round will go up tomorrow at midnight. There are 12 participants, so there will be 6 making it into the second round and 3 winners representing Union. These 3 winners will have a match against Team Evolution at the end. Since this event depends a lot upon player-player interactions, please do make an effort to keep the threads going!

Match-ups:
Ezreal vs. Marisa
Imogen vs. Hiroshi
Levi vs. Fai
Feliks vs. Yang
Ky vs. Melaka
Reimu vs. Sync

Regardless of whether Hiroshi wins or loses here, I'd like at least one scene where his Butterfree finally realizes that turtling her way through fights is a REALLY terrible idea. Anything beyond that, I'm fair game.

Levi only has two Pokemon that can fight (his Goomy is only level 1 and freshly hatched,) but his venipede just evolved into whirlipede and his swinub is pretty brutal. i'm up for him losing! but he'll totally put up a huge fight. pokemon info is here!

levi may or may not also be willing to treat as per his old underground thug habits so we could work this out him getting caught too lmao

Hi.

The three she is going to be using as Lurks the Croagunk, Slugger the Phanpy, and Sneak the Phantump.

...Yeeeeaaaaah, Imogen is going to be 'that guy' and start with a LV25 Tyrantrum and Stealth Rock.

I'm sorry.

orz I guess I can kiss winning goodbye here considering the highest level I've got is a Smeargle.

And you don't even have any dragon moves to trace you jerk

Look, when life hands you LV25 T-rexes with issues, you... stomp on Tokyo.

She will apologize a lot afterwards! And use her healing skills on anything that isn't weak to fairies.

It's too bad Takuro isn't a higher level, because having that Dual Claw would REALLY BE USEFUL...

Anyway, for posterity: Bluescale the Tyrantrum, Stonewall the Mr. Mime, and Sandtrap the Trapinch.

Ky just has Jacob the Bulbasaur and Isaac the Mareep for now, though I'm debating on having him bond with a third or just intensive train.

Probably Takuro the Axew, Guertena the Smeargle, and Martena the Butterfree.

I suppose we could at least make it interesting. Martena has a couple of stat-effect stuff, and Guertena has Reflect. It'll probably still be a curb stomp, but at least it'll be marginally less of one, and we can do a dragon vs. dragon deal. Takuro also has Leer and Scary Face. In the end, it'll probably all be going all out against one holy-shit monster, but hey.

Ezreal is fielding Spark the Elekid, Smasher the Boldore, and Jungler the Liepard.

Sadly Imogen is a ruthless little thing when she wants to make sure to prove her point. And her point is to beat the pants off the Team Evolution people.

So... Her first trick'll be Stealth Rock then Roar to force at least one swap. After that a mix of just horrible horrible pain from Bite and Earthquake until Bluescale is too debuffed to fight.

Probably letting Stonewall build some defenses (Misty Terrain and Reflect) before striking back with Magical Leaf or Double Slap.

Sandtrap is for clean-up if something terrible happens, as it has the least to offer on offense or defense (except shrugging).

Is there any way we could compromise to at least let Hiroshi beat one of them with all he's got? If it's just going to be a curbstomp, I'm not sure I really want to thread that out.

[personal profile] for_realsies 2014-02-24 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, Stonewall is the weak link in this exchange (Sludge Wave from Smeargle and Assurance from Axew would both hit it hard, and Mold Breaker would negate Filter). Also if he was poisoned that'd remove him from the running (but he'd stay on the field long enough to put up whatever other defenses he could before he faints).

...also, as a dick move, Smeargle is totally Sketching Stealth Rock. Because goddamnit.
