i only played till gen 5 so all the new things are far too confusing for me

i think as long as remember how weakness work should be fine.

They're optional tbh

They're optional tbh

most people know about them so I'll be at a disadvantage if I don't obviously

I just found out last night the regies weren't Gen 1 so I think we're playing on the same field

Taking the necessary steps to ensure this tournament runs considerably better than the first.

To be quite honest I never played a pokemon game before but I still know all the basics like type advantages and disadvantages and what not
And I think as long as you know all that you'll be good to go

 

[Random Asshole]

oh nice, though I prefer older gens.

Though if we do a Gen 1 Ubers tournament I'd be down lol.

I've been playing competitively since 2012 and I'm still not the best team builder lol. It's a fairly casual tournament all things considered. Give it a go!

Debated on whether it should have been in G/S/C OU, but ultimately I think playing with modern mechanics would be more fun.

I am considering doing a tournament for Gen 3 OU in the future tho

so basically it's showdown tournament with 9gen mechanics but only first 251 are allowed, is that right? so items, abilities, natures, IVs/EVs and all are there

doubles or singles?

megas, tera and z moves are all allowed? or do i have to pick out of 1 of them?

like, i can make something but i can't promise i'll be able to show up
