We’ve had battles open for the Eliminations Round open for a while now, and progress has been much slower than we’d hope. Only two pairings are ready to battle in the second round.
Because of this we’ve decided it’s time to set some deadlines. All battles for the First Round of Eliminations are to be completed by 11:59pm CST on August 25. A decision will then be made on what to do with those who have not completed battles, in order to progress the tournament. Players who have pairings for round two may battle now!
We aim to have Eliminations finished by August 31st, with our first Champion and runner-ups announced shortly after. The current standings and bracket for the Eliminations Round can be found by clicking HERE, or below in the spoiler tab – please excuse awkward formatting!

uugghh im tired of all these bans.
i know you dont have to follow smogon rules but playing showdown when youre too lazy to get your 3ds makes it hard to ignore D:< just ban every mega already if thats the route they're going down now.
YOU get a ban
YOU get a ban
YOU ALL GET BANS
most accurate thing ever
Someone called?
If EXP-ALL returns in ORAS I’ll def be switching mine to “off”.
I turned mine off in my playthrough of digital X and its more fun & challenging.
*switches it to on when hes not looking*
*calls 911 reports being molested*
well if skiddo touches you in a place you dont like for 10 seconds it is considered rape
and heavy doesnt want skiddo touching his 3ds so it actually can be considered rape to an extent XD
so if i poked u and my finger got stuck who it be considered Rape
yes
so many people can be in jail right now 😀
LMMFAOOO
*breaks out of jail and breaks game by “accident”*
have fun with repairs :3
i might keep it for my first paythrough and then in AS il turn it off
ahh you’re maining OmegaRuby?
i beleive so cause everyone is maining AS and il be thaat guy who helps cover OR
besides ruby wa smy first game as my sister got sapphire so its only right to get omega ruby
That’ll be sweet. You are in fact one of the only ones here that is maining OR. You’ll def have to let us know version differences. I don’t plan to start my OR until around dec-januaryish. I’m gonna main AS.
il do the same with AS as you do with OR
and il totlly be glad to help out with those version differences
#hipsterlikemaxie’sglasses
i like kyogre more….. just because its a giant orca or known as the killer whale
This. And the fact that it was my first hoenn game.
nah i just like whales and plus Kyogre always jumps on groudon in every poster hes like

DIE!
LMFAO U GOTTA GO.
I’m still laughing @ “what if my finger got stuck” XD
it makes sense they should get arrested for trapping my finger
Off no doubt. It’s no challenge at all with it on.
Too much exp.
I’m not even gonna play with my team in Amie cause I don’t want them to get that double exp boost XD
I also won’t equip lucky egg, or use any exp o powers. I want to grind hard & naturally.
i can resist playing with my pokes ;~; i guess il have to hit them once in a while XD jk
lmao it’ll be hard definitely… I might pop them into amie and give them a few belly rubs then and exit out quickly XD
I wonder if Rusturf Tunnel will only have whismur in it, or will they update it with more wild Pokemon.
well from the horde battle picture it seems to only have whismur still but ya never know
Really wish they would’ve saved whismur hordes for this game.
I think they were found in Connecting Cave too -_-
Bring on the Sealeo/Spheal hordes XD
Yep they were
yep tho i dont mind them being in xy
As if anyone actually paid attention to them in xy XD
meanie!!! XD
I actually didn’t know there is Taillow hordes on route 8 XD
I just caught one yesterday morning lol
Did HG/SS have anyone newer gen pokemon found in the wild…. not using swarms and sounds
not sure but we know oras will have an updated dex
this.
i hope so i want my buneary early on
I just checked a few routes on Pokearth, looks like nothing changed (excluding Swarms/Radio sounds). But we know Hoenn will have a newer dex cause they said it multiple times
Maybe in ORAS, Gallade will get the mega that got stolen from it
i know i know the stone theory is out ther eut still i think gallade deserves a mega and ;~;
If stone pokemon ever receive mega evolutions, I would like to see a Poison/Fairy Mega Roserade.
roserade would be pretty cool :O nev er thought of it
probably cause arcanine gallade and froslass kept overshadowing it XD
Mega Glalie will come and push Froslass into the abyss of not existing XD
no glalie needs a mega just to get to froslass’ calibur XD
i will always love froslass and the ice types
they always get the short end of the stick :/
Heavy if u dont that mega fairy wishlist
do a stone wish list then
well its out right now…. here how u get it
1.close your eyes
2. think of mega gallade
there u go
I still can’t believe Altaria got a Mega :’)
i still cant beleive how badass mega sceptile is ;~;
As well as Sceptile tbh lol.
Remember when we first pitched the idea of it getting a fairy mega cause we saw how it learns Moon Blast lol. We were soooo sure it would get one. People were like “Well other Pokemon learn other moves, Swirlix gets flamethrower its not gonna become Fairy/Fire”… Boy did we prove them wrong.
gotta love mega sceptile >:D
and mega diancie XD
(cricket cricket)
*where everyone go? ^_^ LMAO
“No heavy it’s just using Diamond Storm in that trailer” I was literally crying tears of joy when my theory proved right of diancie mega evolving. Next up is Hoopa & Volcanion & Jynx XD
Altaria won’t get a Mega cause it’s not popular ;~;
Fck those people >:D
I still can’t believe Milotic didn’t. The Sodium Chloride is real.
if i want any stones to get megas it would be the monkey trio
Grass/Fighting- Flash Fire
Fire/Fighting- Water absorb
Water/Fighting-Sap Sipper
idk it be nice to give them abilities that makes them immune to the type that its weak against
Monkey trio megas would be pretty cool.
The abilities don’t really make sense but I love how they all gain Fighting
it does
Sees no evil- get a ability that makes it immune to a type of that can kill it
Hears no evil- Same as Sees
Speaks no evil- Same as above
i see it as a nice way to represent what they based off
wait…. are they really based off that see no evil line 0_0
yeaaaa didnt know that
Based off the 3 wise monkeys
i can imagine the rage at fire fighting XD
I do like how they are given Mega’s to Pokemon that actually need them now. Lopunny, Altaria, Audino, Slowbro = perfect examples. Was tired of them giving Mega’s to already OP pokemon (pleaaaaaase never give Arcanine a mega or I’d quit competitive XD)
tho slowbro was pretty grea ton its own
regenerator
Slowbro wasn’t “great” because of it’s large amount of weaknesses. But with the added bulk, it’s gonna get a lot more play. OU for sure.
I thought slowbro was good in gen 5… it needed this boost in gen 6. too many other new pokes & quirks dimmed his light a little. Aegislash for example. You don’t wanna catch those Shadow Sneaks/Balls
I agree with you. Although Arcanine could do with a buff to those defences. Make a defensive Mega Arcanine with Fur Coat
That thing would be a beast! 😀
Mega Golduck anyone? Water/Psychic. Yes.
Also, to answer your question Govnah, if stone Pokemon were to receive megas, I would like to see the following Megas
-Roserade (Poison/Fairy)
-Ninetales (Fire/Psychic)
-Lilligant (Grass/Fairy)
-Heliolisk (Electric/Dragon)
damn heliolisk feels so incomplete
as well as Pyroar.
and both have that awkward “Normal” dual typing
Girafarig shares this too …
I have to agree, give them all an evolution that changes it to the fairy typing…
ROTLMMFAOOOOOOO NOOOOOO!!!!!
maybe girafarig XD
If you want any stat spreads for these Megas. I could get on it. 😉
Yes feel free ^_^
I always love reading you and menacing’s lists
I usually do 3 Megas in a list. So, choose which ones you want to see the most!
Helio, Lilligant, & Roserade tbh. Can deal without ninetales
I think I’ll do Heliolisk, Roserade and Ninetales. Since one of them is already going to be Fairy! 🙂
I know this makes no sense but i really like it XD

Heavy, Skiddo isnt kidding. they apparently ARE based of the see no evil,speak no evil, hear no evil 0-0
I never knew
illuminati tbh
Pokemon with their occult meanings…
And how they always have 1 pokemon every gen that has 1 eye lol (all seeing eye).
They’re creepy.
xatu 😉
You know too much Heavy.
Wow, you’re one generation late bby. 😡
we all are 😛
@Pokemaster4488: GG at MK!
Here we go….. this is better look DEM FANART HELPS

can’t believe I never caught this. spooky stuff.
those abilities make sense now :3 it counters the evil of its type
I was truly mesmerized when I realized that their evolutions are
Simisage: Elvis Presley
Simisear: Bob Dylan
Simipour: Bob Marley
rotlmmmfaooooo gtfo.
im too gullible.
are you being serious?
Never been that serious.
shouldnt bob marley be grass tho XD
unless he is watert cause he is weak to grass 0-0
… An epicenter has awoken within me! The battle between Astrid and Ash entices the very soul as if it were a fine dish served for the sole purpose of being a decorative piece of art!
illuminati, tru

*dials 911
The far right eye is open. :I

Counter + Sitrus Berry.
YES
Mirror Coat + Regenerator Alomomola
omg..XD
this is my combo for winning against cheron on black 2
Riolu has oran berry, uses counter XD
Lol. Nice.
Did anyone else think that yellow was one of the worse pokemon games? Its my lease favorite, anyone else agree?
Are you guys joking about the “One-eyed Symbol?” The “One-eyed Symbol” is actually one of the most well known symbols in recorded history, and is known as the “All Seeing Eye” or the “Eye of Providence” which is a symbol that depicts God as the one who sees everything, thus, the nickname “The All Seeing Eye.” The symbol appears on the dollar bill because the United States was once populated by more than 90% Christians. The “Eye of Providence” or whatever you want to call it is not an “evil” symbol or the symbol of an occult and maybe even non-existent party. If you guys are just joking, thank goodness! 😀
alot of jewish wear the all seeing eyes
besides we are joking XD
aka the hamsa
Are you discrediting the illuminati?
…Ra is love, Ra is life?
We’re mostly joking. Churches in Australia still use the symbol.
The Eye of Horus (all-seeing eye) is actually bad.
http://vigilantcitizen.com/pics-of-the-month/symbolic-pics-month-1213/
If Jordin was a god, he’d be whoreus.
ROTLMFAOOOO
The “Eye of Horus” is not well known though, thus, the majority of the global population believe it to be a derogatory term towards Christians and other parties alike.
No way. Eye of Horus is a very well known thing.
Aren’t you 10 years old?
One can ever be too serious when referencing the illuminati
ummmmmm what was the point of this…… not trying to be mean and all but u didn’t have to give us a Snapple fact
A snapple fact. BISH I just shit myself laughing. IMMMM DYING.
let me start using that tho XD
my joke no steal
It’s mine now and I’m not crediting you either XD
Snapple Fact joke owned by govnahskiddo
i still have the working your way to the distortion world and anothe rone i forgot
The point was to make sure you guys weren’t talking seriously about this controversial topic. And it’s always good to know more, isn’t it, helps you in the future.
Tip to those who don’t know: Don’t joke about the “Eye of Providence” near Christian parents or Jewish parents, you might get your a** kicked. I learned it the hard way by joking about it with my brother in front of my parents. Although they didn’t do anything to me, I had a boring lesson about the “Eye of Providence” for hours on end.
Wow, hun. You so edumicated.
What? I’m not sure if this is an insult or I’m spending too much time reading offensive topics…
what?
we know but dude chill its a pokemon site
i highly doubt extremely religious people are here hence why we mentioned it
I think we have common sense
I’m actually “chilled.” I just like talking about things like these when people bring it up, it’s quite interesting.
Hmmm I’m unawear of the “eye of providence”. Ironic sense im Chirstian.
plaese explain
plaese confirmed lel
hoenn confirmed
NLque is illuminati confirmed

Why isnt there an article on this video yet?
NO
If Junichi Masuda ever did acid, I feel like this would be his trip.
Celestial…
did you know that a few days before your favorite singer died (Whitney Houston) she came home to a house full of “Eye” drawings on your walls? They were watching over her just like how they’re watching over us… and the media.. While they may not be called “illuminati” we can def be sure america (and the world at that) has higher powers at work.
I mean even look at 2pac for example.. he made an album called “Killuminati” .. and when he started speaking out against them he was killed off. Michael was too.
Snapple fact #200001 goes to Heavy :3 and check ur twitter
Conspiracy theories are like used nappies, full of shit, but fun to throw around.
It all makes sense now. *refresh* http://therapup.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/JayZ-Holy-Grail-Illuminati-610×407.png
YOOOOO…. MY HEART IS BEATING SO HARD
IM WEAK AND CLUTCHING MY STOMACH/RIBS
OMFG! I’M LAUGHING SO HARD THAT I’M COUGHING!!
I kind of believe in an “other being” controlling the Music Industry. Although, I’m not sure if it’s the Illuminati as we have never had substantial evidence pointing towards the party still being active, having been persecuted hundreds of years ago. I like to think of the “other being” as the Devil, the one who influences you and also, the human mind: It’s a greedy thing and must not be fed so often.
Well said. Michael Jackson once referred to Tommy Mottola as the devil XD
celestial…. stop being Snapple
pokemon has 7 letters. one word. 7-1= 6. frist region had 5 letters and started with K, the 11th letter. 11-5=6. released in 1996. 6
666 illuminat. pokemon is satanic
its true
NL
ILluminati
This is not a coincidence.
I wish I had the illuminati picture someone made of me when they said me and Gliscor were in the illuminati lmao
Heavy… that picture of a lady with eyeballs as her outfit… and I was eating… ARGHH!!!
you mean Rihanna?
That was Ke$ha XD
close enoguh rihanna kesha same group XD
Perfect brainwashed illuminati artist.
The Money sign in her name even tells you what they want.
Too bad she went to rehab and dropped the money sign from her name though. Now that she not dealing with them we don’t even see her on the charts anymore
i remember `a photographer used serena williams and her sister to signal a gang. He specifcally made them turn their rackets into a position only the gang knew.
Even the girls didnt know what happened 0-0
smh… crazy
Oh you stop talking about Jynx….
Remember when we all hobnobbed about the #666 Pokemon and Heavy linked us to a picture that had #666 as Vivillon? #BESTTROLLFROMTROLLFREAK
ROTLMMMFAOOOO
I was really hoping #666 would’ve ended up as Gogoat.
That would’ve upset a lot of churches or religious people
well we all saw it coming cause the order of everything from grass to fire to water starter to rodent then bug you get 666
I hope you guys all know the illumanati is dispanded and isnt what you guys all think it is
http://medias.gifboom.com/medias/t_f05fe4ebe6d84187b508b90e8e995ca0.jpg
Wii r anon u muss expect us
if anything read about free masons
That’s what they want you to think
I was about to type this 🙂
no. the illumanati isn’t alive. We are all overthinking. Sure there is power hungry government that control everything but thats about it
Not neccesairily
They actually did exist once, so.
exactly hence i said isnt alive, They got disbanded like team rocket
Lol Gamestop apparently will share the same fate block buster did according to the calculations…
