It's time for our second official tournament! This tourney will be taking place in honor of the long-awaited confirmation that Generation III, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, is finally being remade for the Nintendo 3DS. For this tournament, we will still be following our standard rules and regulations with 6 v 6 single battles. But in the spirit of Hoenn, we'll be adding some new restrictions.
First off, your team for this tournament must consist of at least two Pokemon introduced in Gen III. If we're going to be in Hoenn for a while, we may as well act like it.
Our second change is that the tournament is no longer single elimination.
This new system is somewhat similar to a "Round Robin" style bracket, where there is no set order for the preliminary rounds. The first pairings will be random, but after that, you'll be matched up with other players according to your own record. That means that, for example, if you were to lose your first two rounds, your third round would be matched against someone who has also lost two rounds. This is to make sure that you're battling against trainers of your own skill level.
The size of the bracket and the number of preliminary rounds will be decided once we have our final number of participants.
But where would a tournament be without prizes? We have three very special Pokemon to give away to the top three battlers. 1st place will have first pick, 2nd with the second pick, and 3rd with the final prize remaining. Our prizes for today are:
Deoxys, Rayquaz, and Jirachi! All three are legendary Pokemon introduced in Gen III. Jirachi and Deoxys are notoriously hard to get, so this could be a pretty rare opportunity.
But that's not all! For this tournament, we'll also be giving out consolation prizes. That's right, you get a free prize just for signing up and participating. That prize is:
Eevee! This super-cute Pokemon has been a fan-favorite for quite a while now. But this isn't any old regular Eevee - all Eevee that are handed out with have their hidden ability - Anticipation. So, whenever you evolve this Eevee into your favorite Eeveelution, it'll also have it's hidden ability (Sylveon will have Pixilate, Espeon will have Magic Bounce, etc). It's a free Pokemon, so don't pass this up!
Don't worry if you're not used to competitive battling! Tournaments against players are the key to becoming better. One of the main goals of our League and tournaments is to do just that; introduce long-time fans to a very unique and strategic game.
