The Pokemon Video Game Showdown

I wonder if any of you guys ever heard of the Pokemon Video Game Showdown happening July 19th I think.Online registrations are closed but i think theres another way how to participate,but you'll probably need like 777 4-leaf clovers.Here is the link http://showdown.pokemon.com/

What is it like...evry pokemon game ever in one place? It must be fun...

its actually a tournament being held in New york.1st to 8th place winners go to florida to take ANOTHER tournament.
go to link for more info

pretty cool

if anyone at this site lives in new york they shud go and watch if they can. try to record a battle or something idk

keep us updated on the tourney sarge, i would really like to know wat happens

hahaha well....it starts in approximately 56 days,and well the link's right there so i'm guessing and hopefully they'll keep the updates up and running but i'll try to do what i can.


P.S.the banned pokemon are ubers,tyranitar,and dragonite.I understand the ubers,but the 2 pokemon!?that's crazy!

huh wierd

why t-tar and dragonite?

yea that looks like all kindsa fun but i don't live in NY or CA ! And yea that's weird that tyranitar and dragonite are banned, they can deffinitely be beaten with the right moves lol

i just think its a sad couple months in wwpl in a situation like this

T-Tar and Dragonite are banned because battles are lv.50. And having a Lv.50 T-Tar or Dragonite would mean its illegit.

ya but that wud mean things like heatran cant be used..or is that already uber?
cuz im pretty sure it isnt

theyre foolish for making that idiotic tournament. No true competitive battler will ever enter that piece of crap. that having been said if they were to actually look at all the pokemon forums theyd realize how dumb this is, but i guess its too late now............

Why would they not have a tourney via wifi? thatd be pure genius but noooo....... they cant do that huh

in a way, you do have a point.

when i first heard about They pulled all these odd rules and you actually have to show up? That enders wifi worthless imo bcuz this is what wifi was meant for. Not using it is just plain criminal

well if it was over wifi alone it might also be easier to cheat >_< maybe that is what they are thinking who knows...but yea i think a lot of the rules are pretty stupid :p true players can defeat tyranitar and dragonite lol

Imagine you didn't go to it,then the next day you find the one person who won first place and saw you playing your game.just imagine what kind of crap talk he/she would be saying that this person could beat you any day of the week just because they are the champion of this tournament.you end up battling him/her and this person loses.That would be soooo cool if that was ever going to happen.

if they thought dragonite was too powerful y not chomp i would take chomp over dragonite anyday

its not they dragonite and t-tar are too powerful but like Dragon9 said T-Tar and Dragonite are banned because battles are lv.50. And having a Lv.50 T-Tar or Dragonite would mean its illegit.

T-Tar? Really strong.

it's really strong but could be taken out by one e-quake from garchomp.people have to think about what secondary effect sandstorm has on rock types. if a rock type is on the field and sandstorm is up, that rock type's sp def increases by 50%.so lets say you use starmie.it may take about 2-3 surfs before your starmie can beat something as bulky as t-tar.
