PokeOcalypse - {GAME COMPLETE}
{CuddlyCaucasian and Klick present}
Greetings, trainers. I have gathered you here today to begin the great journey that will be your life as a trainer, catching Pokemon across the region of Metazoa and changing the world in your own way. But a great evil is upon us; Team Mortem is rising, and they hope to bring a new dawn of destruction upon the world by uniting the Four Rings of the PokeOcalypse: the Ring of War, Ring of Conquest, Ring of Famine, and the Ring of Death. We at the Pokemon League need the bravest, smartest, and most heroic of trainers tobecome the Lord of the Ringsbecome a Pokemon master and put an end to their nefarious plans. So, will you join me?
{GENERAL RULES}
This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.{01}
This is a game. The secondary objective is to dominate.{02}
I am not infallible, so if I make a mistake, please point it out to me privately so that I may make corrections as necessary.{03}
I have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, I promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.{04}
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above.{05}
Private communication between all players will be allowed unless otherwise stated for a specific challenge. Any player found in violation in that case will be penalized.{06}
I reserve all rights to implement new rules if needed.{07}
{GAME MECHANICS}
Winning Pokemon:
Before each round, a list of the Pokemon available for selection will be shown. All players will have 24 hours to submit a list showing their order of preference of those Pokemon. If a player fails to submit, a list will be randomized for them.{01}
Pokemon will be given out in order of challenge performance on that round, with the highest ranking player receiving their highest ranked Pokemon that has not already been given out, and so on.{02}
All Pokemon have been carefully distributed between rounds to make sense geographically and to make the game balanced. Please cherish all Pokemon you receive, and remember that every point in a challenge counts. No trading of Pokemon is allowed.{03}
All Pokemon have been pre-determined to evolve at a certain point; most of this is by a certain level, but I assure you that all Pokemon will evolve at a time that makes it most balanced in the game.{04}
Challenges:
In most cases, rounds will alternate between individual and team-based. If a challenge breaks this rule, players will be notified in advance.{05}
In individual challenge rounds, in most cases, the 2 highest ranking players will be assigned as team captains for the next round, and the 2 lowest ranking players will be sent into elimination.{06}
In team challenge rounds, in most cases, team captains will have 24 hours to submit a list of the players remaining in the game ranked by preference; these will be used to determine the teams, with each captain receiving their highest ranking player that hasn't been taken, until no players remain. The captain of the team that wins the challenge will earn a Gym Badge, and has 24 hours to select two players from the losing team to send into elimination.{07}
I appreciate the fact that prospective contestants will enter this game with a range of skills. With this in mind, understand that I as a mod cannot cater to all players' needs and time constraints in challenges.{08}
The outcomes of all challenges are final. That said, be sure to keep Rule 03 of General Rules in mind.{09}
Spoiler: Tiebreaking Procedure for Challenges
Elimination Battles:
All elimination in this game will occur through Pokemon battles on Pokemon Showdown. Both players involved have 96 hours to find a time where they can both be online to battle. The loser of each battle is permanently eliminated from the game, and their Pokemon are removed from play. If a battle has not been carried out within this time frame, a mock battle will be conducted by me.{10}
The only Pokemon allowed for use in battles are those received by players in the course of the game; no trading is allowed. All items, TM moves, and egg moves are fair game, but anything banned by Smogon will be banned in this game. For clarification on whether something is allowed, message me and I will notify you as soon as possible.{11}
All Pokemon will have a set level for each round; this can be determined by 2 + 3(Round number).{12}
The outcomes of all Elimination Battles are final.{13}
To make sure the game does not go on forever, the round following the elimination battle will take place during the time when the elimination battle is being conducted. The winner of that elimination battle will therefore automatically have immunity for the round he didn't take part in, and receives a random Pokemon for that round.{14}
Endgame:
Once only three players remain in the game, a final challenge will be held. The winner of this challenge automatically advances to the Final Two, while the other two players have a battle for elimination. The winner of that battle then advances to the Final Two.{15}
The winner of the game will then be decided in a series of three battles, with both players using only the Pokemon they obtained throughout the course of the game, and neither player being allowed to use any of their Pokemon in more than one battle. The first player to win two battles wins the title of Pokemon Master.{16}
Twists:
Twists will be implemented without warning or provocation throughout the game. The time and setting of each twist has already been determined, so as to neither give an unfair advantage or disadvantage to a player or group of players.{17}Last edited by CuddlyCaucasian on Fri May 16, 2014 5:09 pm, edited 64 times in total."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

I'm fairly sure that Speed Boost isn't allowed on Torchic, even though other hidden abilites are available. I think I remember CC saying that in the Mish Mash Game List a while ago.
PEdit: Okay, I had to leave for an hour while writing this post, and in that time cxinlee apparently edited his post. This still pertains to Black Pawn though, so posting it anyway.Never be sorry for your little time.

Yep, Speed Boost is banned for Torchic's evolution line, but that's the only exception."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

Here's a link to the banlist I'll be going by! http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/of ... t.3491371/ Blaziken is listed as banned, but he'll obviously be available for use without Speed Boost.
So as of now, all Mega Formes are allowed excluding Blaziken, Gengar, and Kangaskhan, but only one Mega on a team, of course."CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12

Why are they considering banning Deoxys-D? In my 111 battles on the ladder, I haven't even seen one of them. Also, I've managed to deal with the other two fairly easily as well, but that's mostly because M-Venu is awesome.
Spoiler: My stats, because I went through the trouble of looking them up anyway.Never be sorry for your little time.

My favorite Pokemon is, indeed, Blaziken (that being the main reason why I chose it at first). But I know its pre-evolutions are very weak without Speed Boost, so I changed my mind.
I'm wondering what's up with Charmander, though; the Mega-evolutions actually should make it viable in Smogon high tiers.
About Fennekin... I don't know much about it.-

I've heard Fennekin is pretty good, but I've only played through X & Y with Chespin and Froakie, so I'm not sure. But Charizard is probably still facing the problem of being quad weak to Stealth Rock, especially if it's still as prevalent as it used to be. :/"CC is very [whatever the equivalent of photogenic as it applies to videos]" - racefan12
