RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) As some of you are aware, pokemon battling can be pretty fun when you don't need to stress over building the perfect team, raising IV's and all that annoying technical stuff. Random Battles give you the chance to jump right in get battling without any of the stress. I've done a few random battles with some of the users here and it's always a lot of fun, so I figure why not have a league for this. The idea behind it is pretty simple, once a week you'll battle the person you're scheduled to play in a best of three match. When the season is over we'll have some sort of playoff to determine the winner, it'll be more clear on what the playoffs should look like when we have a set number of people who have signed up. We'll be battling on Pokemon Showdown since it can allow you to save replays and give you real time spectators to watch your match if you so choose. All you need to do to signup there is register a username and a password. The format for all matches are Random Battle singles. Anyone who wants to sign up, feel free to. 1. RazorStar 2. Vin 3.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 16, 2016 I'm thinking of giving a week deadline for each match, and when all the matches are done in a week, I'll move onto the next in the schedule. So if you can find time during the week, you should be fine. Also prepare for a lot of new types SteVo. >_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJORN 679 Posted March 16, 2016 Do we get a random squad each match or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 16, 2016 Yep. Your team is randomly generated at the outset of the battle. Each pokemon is gonna have a competitive moveset so you're not gonna get completely fucked, but sometimes you might just have a bad matchup against someone because they have an Electric Type sweeper and you have four X/flying pokemon.

RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 18, 2016 Well we've got 8. If no one else shows interest we can start this up on the weekend. With 8 people we can do two four team divisions, and have a ten week schedule where you play everyone in your division twice, and everyone in the other division once. The top two people in each division go to a single elimination tournament and then the best battler takes all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
