RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 19, 2016 Welcome everyone who signed up for random pokemon battles, it's a good time to get underway, so I've written up the schedule for a ten week season. Though I do say week, if everyone has completed their matches before the week deadline, we can go ahead and start with the next series of matches. These will be best of three matchups played on Pokemon Showdown. When you've finished each game, hit the upload and share replay button and save the link that the site gives you. When either of you has won two games the match is over and you should post the results in this topic. As an example here is a match of me against someone else. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-341345957 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-341350493 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-341353097 Result: 2-1 Win for Arctic The top two players in each division after the regular season will move onto a single elimination tournament, where the winner will take all. If there is a tiebreaker needed we'll look at head to head first, if two players are tied at second and the head to head is one match to one then it'll come down to your decisive wins (going 2-0 in a match), if you go 7-3 and have 4 decisive wins, you'll go in ahead of someone who is 7-3 and only has 1 decisive win. If it's still tied after that, we'll look at decisive losses, and if that's tied then we'll just have a play in game, but I don't think it will come to that. Anyway here is the schedule, so best of luck to everyone participating. Week 1Vin v. BigBenBjorn v. BayATL v. ZackBlots v. RazorWeek 2Vin v. BJORNBigBen v. BayATL v. BlotsZack v. RazorWeek 3Vin v.

Bay 2,003 Posted March 21, 2016 nice battle with Vin, you got Grumpig and Virizion. Awesome! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBen07 285 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) nice battle with Vin, you got Grumpig and Virizion. Awesome! Randomizing is fun.We also had a practice 3rd match. He had Zekrom, and if I hadn't had Xerneas I'd have been screwed. Edited March 21, 2016 by BigBen07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted March 21, 2016 Seems lame that random doesn't differentiate between tiers. Lucking into a couple legends vs. someone with a bunch of UU (underused, low tier in competitive battling) is gonna blow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBen07 285 Posted March 21, 2016 Seems lame that random doesn't differentiate between tiers. Lucking into a couple legends vs. someone with a bunch of UU (underused, low tier in competitive battling) is gonna blow. Yeah that's the major down side of that. I had three legends on my team when me and Vin had a practice battle. However if you get the right stuff, the legends can get beat easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted March 21, 2016 They lower the levels of legendaries to at least balance it around that. A level 83 Chansey is gonna be facing a Level 75 Zekrom kind of thing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
