Pokémon Sun/Moon Playthrough Tournament

Tagging @. : tale : . @Plums @Iskandar , and @DarkTraitor since I saw y'all talking about it in the actual thread (@Bushy are you getting this one?)

So I mentioned it before, but I thought it'd be cool to have some kind of tournament (and possibly trades) with this gen while it's still new. Something like we try to schedule battles at certain points in the game (originally, I was going to say every two gyms lol). Just one-on-one matchups at those points and after beating the main story, a full-on tournament between everyone.

Though we can still use a non-game platform like Showdown for the actual tournament, I think it'd be really cool for people getting Sun/Moon to have a chance of enjoying the new games. Unfortunately, I know not everyone is getting or even can't get the games at the same time, though Luxord has a great idea on doing windows of time instead of a set date for the battle. There might even be a KHV pin as a prize!

Rules and the set-up will be decided together if there's enough interest. I know a few different people already have some ideas (@Ars Nova , @Hayabusa , 61, and Luxord), but first I'd like to see who would actually be up for it.

 

Confirming interest in wiping the floor w/ errbody

 

Don't you wish? Lmao

Count me in. Miss Y and I will clean you all up >:3

 

I'll be getting the game late because Europe but I'll give it a go and see if I can catch up, sure.

 

Ditto to this.
Depending how I can do, if I'm in a good spot etc, I'll be up for it. Getting the game later than everyone else does kinda make things a tad more annoying. lol

 

Just bought my game about 10 minutes ago and having it sit on the character selection while I type this, but you bet I'm all for this idea still. Also, we should definitely try the 4-way battle at one point.

 

Made a server for pokemon related discussion if you guys are interested

COUNT ME IN CAP'N

I'm in.

 

Arright, so if we're doin' this, we have to coordinate our progress. How far is everybody? I just finished the first trial, thought that would be a good place to stop, but it seems like a couple folks are already way past me.

 

i just met the professor

(i basically havent played the game bc busy with other stuff so you if you all are going lightning speed you may be best going ahead without me)

 

I finished the Trainer school before work lol. Didn't have much time yesterday ugh

 

Finished the Fourth Trial already bc I just wanted a Bounsweet lol

 

Haven't even gotten to the first trial

 

Haven't even got the game.

 

Yeesh... We might just have to hold off 'til endgame then

 

Yeah I'm just now going towards the very first trial in my game ;c

 

Finished the 5th trial a little while ago and heading through Route 12 to the 6th. Also wishing I knew about Wimpod's ability so it didn't run from me, because now I can't catch one for a while
