Well it seems there's enough people interested here alone. I'll make an announcement soon on youtube, to attract youtube people into coming here to subscribe to the tournament. However. If there's too much people, I will make the tournament single-elimination... @kayorei: Don't worry, it's not a announcement making an official starting date or something. It's merely a trailer Then I highly suggest that you include these rules of yours in the video. Oh, and you're still jumping the gun. At least wait until the week AFTER the current tournament is over, for common courtesy if nothing else.

I'm just making a trailer to attract people. I'll give people a couple weeks to subscribe...

That much is clear, but I was talking about the trailer. One public event at a time, Arashi. The people will still be there in a couple weeks. I'm telling you, upload it while the tournament is still on or shortly after ending and it will portray you as purposefully trying to take attention away from it, and I doubt you want that. Just have some patience and wait.

If we can bend the rules a tiny bit to use level 5, than my team can polish off thier medals, and go back into action (note: all the people in my area are just to n00bie in P/D to match my weaker teams....

I'm gonna be disagreeing a bit with some of the pokes on the list. Some really don't need a ban on them.
-Celebi: Check the list of weaknesses. Sure, balanced stats, but It can't do much if you look at it. -Shedinja (Because if your opponent's shedinja killer is down it'd be an unfair match): Sand storm and Hail kill it. Will-O-Wisp and Toxic kill it. And only one killer? Several pokes that I have can kill it with ease. Fire, Dark, Ghost and Rock are common on several teams, Flying... eh, it works too. -Jirachi: Jirachi isn't that great either. Maybe slightly better then Celebi, but not that yayish. -Deoxys (all forms): Only the speed form should be allowed. I tried to use the speed form before... it can't do that much damage or take it. -Azelf : lolwut? -Cresselia: lolwut? -Regigigas:...BWAHAHAHAHA! You are banning him? Oh god, you crack me up. Seriously, that thing has the worst ability ever and you are banning him? -Heatran: Earthquake and slowness says hi. If it has a scarf, use scarf against it. If it doesn't have it.... Quake it.

That's pretty much what I said when I spoke with him on this topic. Toxic, Flamethrower, Stealth Rock, Shadow Ball, and Aerial Ace are practically standard-issue. And heaven forbid if someone decides to pull in Hippowdon or Abomasnow, let alone the competetive Tyranitar. Though in his defense, I did say that the casual players may not set up with a move or 'mon in those types, but given how common they are, I still don't see much worry when it comes to Shedinja counters.

Abomasnow >.> darn it I like abomasnow =D I have an EV trained one but i'm not planning on using it in the tournemant (if it kicks off). As for azelf being banned yes because Azelf can use nasty plot and have a massive amount of special attack this makes a serious problem.

Quake it. ...You know what makes banning them really useless? That rule about your opponent choosing which Pokemon you use. If you can't beat them, then just don't choose them. >.> (By the way, I have seen an incredibly cheap moveset for Deoxys-E that shows how it deserves to be considered Uber, so I actually agree on it being banned...in general.)

@kayorei: I haven't met a team that doesn't carry any of those things. I mainly carry several of those things for other pokes, not just Sheddy. Sandstorm teams with Hippowdon are common, Hail teams... not as much, but still around.
@syaro: That's one moveset. Only one moveset isn't that amazing for Ubers. It can't damage the ubers well in the first place and they just need to point and boom, he's dead. I fear attack and defense form, but the speed form... nah. Find me 10 people that use it properly and often and I might change my mind about it being uber.
@mollett: Alakazam and Porygon-Z have higher Sp attack, the latter being able to Nasty Plot as well. Azelf isn't that super awesome to be banned. Blissey and other specials walls flip it off and the only way it's gonna damage them is by Explosion. Oops, Azelf is gone.
I'm still deciding wether to join or not, with a team of some random pokes, but I'm still having some doubt about this.

Tell me if you're going to make a tournament via NetBattle, I can participate. (No Wi-Fi router yet, my team has highest level of 24 lvl Kadabra. Enough? ) And about those pokemons : - Celebi - Any reasons why? Just because it's legendary? - Shedinja - Already mentioned - I've never seen a team that was unable to kill Shedinja with at least two pokemons. - Jirachi - =Celebi. - Deoxys - That's indeed a good idea. Even speed version is quite imbalanced. Though it cannot exceed 300 sp. attack in speed form. >_< Others - Haven't played Diamond for that long. -_- And I expect you to blame my idea of NetBattle... =P

Speed form isn't that dangerous. Once it takes a hit or is Paralyzed... Bye bye Deoxys.
Attack form or Defense Form however... One can rape your entire team, the other stalls it to death. Speed only has his high speed, the rest...
An other way to do this tournament is Shoddy, which is sort of like Net battle, except it has all pokes in it. Even a few fanmade on one server.
