We're now announcing the return of Pokémon Tournaments here in ZD!
Hello! I'm ExLight and I'll be your host for this event and hopefully the ones in a near future! They'll undergo some some changes so stay tuned-in!
We intend on discussing the current ideas with the community, so we're able to make them more interactive and adequate for all types of players.
At the end of the event, feedback on how it was hosted, as well as a poll to decide what type of game format should be tried next, will be available to all members of the community. The inclusion of extra rules (such as the seasonal type limitations) in future tournaments will also be talked about.
That being said, sorry to keeping you waiting! For the returning one we'll keep things simple: National Dex
This game mode is one of the most popular, allowing players to pick almost any pokémon in the main series, as well as keeping battle mechanics from the previous generations!
FORMAT: Double Elimination Tournament (might change depending on the number of interested players)
PLATFORM: Pokémon Showdown
RULESET: Singles Gen 9 National Dex OU:
IMPORTANT:
Teams must be sent to @Morbid Minish for verification before the tournament begins. For this event, players are not allowed to edit their team after the tournament begins. Disrespecting this rule will count as cheating, resulting in instant disqualification and getting blacklisted in future events.
