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!

wow, disqus got quiet quick
🙁
No one answered/knows the answer to my question ;-;
So what do you guys think is better for drawing Pokémon? Photoshop or SAI?
I have no experienced with digital art (because I lack the means to such as a tablet & pen and SAI/Photoshop), but most people I saw prefer SAI.
I’m gon draw a new avatar the last 73838 I’ve had we’re drawn by my friend
So I just went into Gamestop to preorder OR and AS. Turns out the serial code is FAR better than waiting to download the item/poke on each game. If you’re going there, I recommend asking about the pokemon event and getting a free mega stone.
I didn’t know that D:
Also 1000th comment on this article lel
idunno what you mean plz explain.
Got some great Groudon and Kyogre keyrings and small statues for preorders in GameStop 🙂
I took about half for myself and the rest I’ll give to customers 😉

Too beautiful ;~;
;~; Altaria <333333333
I love Altaria but for some reason Salamence is screaming at me to use it on ORAS instead
Gimme DAT, I wanna hold it. I wanna be held by it. I wanna sleep on it. I wanna sleep WITH it…
Dat beauty
GO TO CHATTTTTTTT! ;~;
GORGEOUS!!!
If seen many megas I’d love, but these seem so realistic I could imagine them literally flying into ORAS. (RF)
I like the other 2. but Mega Raichu seems… too quick of an escalation from the regular. (And it looks too fierce)
Mega Raichu looks mega ratchet
Mega arbok looks like a dustox
I hope one generation, the region will take place in brazil or just near the amazon. Being a tropical region the regional bird is a blue macaw( almost like the birds from rio the movie) it could become water flying to water water fairy idk
Also the rodent can be a spider monkey or even a capybara
South america has some really cool landmarks like the giant staute in Rio and the amazon rainforest which could incorporate well into pokemon plus guana is already revealed in pokemon as mew origins so maybe add a ruins wher emew can rest or even its megastone 😀
starters il think of later
“Also the rodent can be a spider monkey”
What
i mean the patrat zigzagoon of the region sorry
for the name of the thing
I think it would still have to be a rodent to fit in the pattern but I like the spider monkey idea. But it’d be hard to fit in the “spider” part without Ben 10 lawsuits
actually yyou dont have to make it spider like
just make it look like a spider monkey and dont give it bug typing
if anything i thought lemur but a lemur is in madagascar
Ben 10
XD
Starters
Grass : Dilophasaurus GrassPoison
( similar to the historically incorrect version in jusprassic park )
Fire : Bull based off the Minotaur. FireRock
Water : Elephant or Water Lizard.
Elephant Water Psychic
Water Lizard : Water Electric
cool ideas :O they should totally hire us at gamefreak XD
Indeed, I’ve seen many of your and I have to say I’m impressed 😀
WAIT i dont mean rodent i mean the zigzagoon of the region
Giant statue of @riospeedwagon:disqus O_O
LOL XD imagine a speed wagon in this rio region id cry so hard of the riospeedwagon reference
Christ the RIOdeemer
#meswag 8)
i got it 😀
The grass starter is a cute jaguar named Junguar who later shall evolve to become a grass dark
The water starter could be a amazon pink river dolphin that becomes water psychic
The fire starter is a tiger that becomes fire electric
It still pisses me off when people confuse Groudon and Kyogre as a fight between water/fire. It’s LAND vs SEA. That’s why Groudon ISN’T a fire type, it’s GROUND type, representing the LAND.
That’s the end of this rant.
Technically in the past Groudon was Part fire… That’s why in its Primal FormeEvo he’s ground Fire.
I also hate when people confuse magma as an element of fire. Just because my microwave can heat stuff up doesn’t mean it’s fire.
Inb4 Rotom-H comment
But I don’t have a problem with the added fire type for Primal Groudon.
As you can see from my comments above, i still find it amusing how people can think its water vs fire. I never understood how people couldn’t instantly tell it was land vs sea. Like its even said in the game….
its land vs sea true
sadly people shall continue the fire vs water cause of the new primal typing :/
I hope its more clear in the new games.
I don’t see how people confuse it with water vs fire. Apart from colours its ridiculous,
Beacause of the abilities maybe
Perhaps, but I was young when the originals came out and I knew instantly it was land vs sea ??
Gotta do the mic drop
Cm Punk is that you dropping pipe bombs ?
The only thing that annoyed me was that Groudon never really had anything to abuse its ability with
Same. I always thought Groudon looked cooler, but there’s no denying kyogre was better at its role.
Kyogre had the water typing and water spout to abuse the crap out of rain.
Groudon firstly didn’t have any physical fire moves, and then all it gets is Fire Punch, and it doesn’t even get STAB.
That’s basically what I just said 😛
Stupid Gamefreak
Let’s write a strongly worded letter of complaint ….. Then beg for free gifts 🙂
If im not mistaken gamefreak will only make regions based of where they are sold and stuff right?
Like pokemon doesnt sell in russia so there wont be a region based on it right?
From all the languages we have
English(USA) completed
French Completed
Japanese Completed
Spanish
German
Italian
Korean
so those 4 may be close time regions with germany probably very soon
They would more than likely do a UK and Ireland version before Germany.
They have more landmarks to work with.
And more sales in the UK and Ire than Germany 🙂
I still want a region based on Russia, so we can get an area based on Chernobyl
same as a russian i know it has amazing landmarks
tho there is alot of controversy there i think it’ll settle down later for pokemon to be alllowed to make a game
While everyone is ranting, one time my ex tried to tell me the closest thing we have to a dolphin Pokémon is LANTURN. Last time I checked dolphins are neither bioluminescent nor do they have gills, oh and by the way they DONT HAVE A BULB DANGLING OFF THEIR HEADS TO ATTRACT PREY! *end cheerleader meltdown with a z snap*
i thought it was based on an angler fish or something close to that name
You gotta do the Z sassy snap
^^^
#belikedjja
errr….Gorebyss could be a dolphin. Hell even Kyogre’s closer to a Dolphin
kyogre is an orca
I know…but it’s the same family as Dolphin
I hope this is the reason they are an EX. I would slap a HO for that haha 🙂
Lol Pokémon knowledge is about 30% of what makes one a “friend”. I don’t hang with n00bs
Good, I slap HOs if they don’t a HO-OH
I hate how we have repeat species of Pokemon, when those spots can be used for something fresh. I think we have too many frog/toad Pokemon. Sacrifice the Seismitoad line for something else and I’ll be fine.
not only is it another frog but another water ground type
you hate too many things
I don’t. Explain.
You three last comments start with ‘it still pisses me off’, and ‘i hate’
lol…I’m just messing
It really happened !!! (RF)
I wish there was a Hoenn themepark.
Scratch that.
I wish there was a Pokemon Disney World. A park for each region.
New life goal.
Think Epcot only Pokemon regions lol
Why isn’t Kyogre jumping on Groudon like it does in every poster >:(
Groudon was like ‘i’ve had enough of yo shit Kyogre’
Lol I have an image for that part too 😉 enjoy groudon lovers naha
Because Magikarp
in japan ?
How would anyone feel about making a fake Pokedex with me ? We could divide it up and then put it together 😀
I will 😀
I make a lot of fake Pokémon in my free time so
Yay 🙂
So how will we do this?
will we use the region i made below as a base?
The Brazil one?
yes :3
I want that O.o
Yes 🙂 Since we started we have honour of doing starters and legendaries. 1 starter line each ( I’m taking water 🙂 ) and one legendary each 🙂
I CALL FIRE
Cool so we are in agreement 🙂
Yep 🙂
il take grass 😀
We can compile through Google Drive.
Sounds good with me 🙂
My Gmail is [email protected]

Govnah, I’m done with playing your fruitless game. Half of your responses bear little to no resemblance towards the ideal topic and you cannot properly debate with others without having to resort to deviating from the topic and using something that kindles the flame. And, goodbye.
This was random
lel spam
Did I miss something? I hope I missed something.
Goodbye to him?
ummm ok then
Well uh, ok. nice to know?
Mom?!
no, es Mack Daddy
Love u too 😡

Comments about spam is spam itself. Meaning that this comment in response to your spam about his spam is indeed spam, so I’m just adding on to the spam.
But srysly. If you get irritated about something on the internet, you’re doing it wrong.
Spam…ception?
Fun Chico Fact: I’ve never eaten spam.
Neither have I, it looks nastay.
I poked it once it was smiley and bouncy
It was Kirby?
yes it smiled at me O.o
good it’s horrible m8 i woudn’t want my worst enemy to eat that shit
So what was the “Best” comment that got removed? I’m curious.
It was a “Hoenn is Love, Hoenn is Life” comment by SlipperySceptile. If you want, I can forward it to you via email.
Ah, a hoenn version of the famous Shrek Copypasta?
yes :3
Indeed it was, and it was a very good one, too.
a hoenn is love hoenn is life story i posted XD
You didn’t miss anything.
I got a 32 GB card for my 3DS today. I’m prepared for future game downloads. The poster for Gamestop’s preorder bonus of ORAS is actually cool. Diancie on one side and Primal Kyogre and Groudon on the other. It looks a lot like I wanted it to.
I love that M. Diancie poster! SO KAWAIIII!!!
I like it too! I would rather have a Mega Diancie figurine though…
That would be amazing!!!
do we know how big the posters are… i hope its not like mario karts 8 pre order poster size
For ORAS? Same size as the Xy poster I’m sure.
better be or ill be a very angry Skiddo
Wait, @defensivebastiodon:disqus , did they give you one? Or do you get it at release?
Pre order bonus
As in pre order
Before
He got it today
I didn’t ;~;
I really hate how if you pre ordered the games before like July or something you didn’t get a poster.
I didn’t get a poster.
At least my gamestop gives out the posters for free on the release day.
thats the pre order bonus
Yes it is.
But, it was only recently the pre order bonus.
There was no pre order bonus before late July.
Wow noob
I want it to be a rated M pokemon game lol
Pokemon Type Wild pls
If they reveal a new type (unlikely), what would it be?
sound, all i can think of
My vote is still for Sound honestly (as unrealistic as it may seem).
no wait Bird type 😛 missingno is still the only bird type

This makes me so pumped to be replaying black 2!
actually, this is technically the first time i’m playing it because I played white 2 instead of black 2 for some reason, despite me getting black at first.
So. I want to go to college for Film/Animation. Do you think that the animating part could be applied to working at Gamefreak with the 3D models? Either way I’ll be happy 🙂 I love games and movies.
So I read this on bulbapedia and now im doubting my number 1 hope for oras
Six years after Primal Dialga’s introduction, Primal Reversion was announced, with the Pokémon who have used Primal Reversion being identified by the word “Primal” in front of their names, like Primal Dialga. However, this is unrelated, as Primal Dialga is referred to as “Dark Dialga” in Japan, whereas the Pokémon who undergo Primal Reversion are referred to as “Primal” in Japan
That’s okay, I think that means that the “real” Primal Dialga will get a redesign. I’m just wondering if they’ll give Giratina a reversion AND a forme change or they’ll find an excuse to use the Origin forme as his Primal Reversion
Hey guys, I have some art to show you that i’ve done over the weekend :3

A map based off of Greece. Names and route plans are appreciated (for fun, of course)

A front view of Arceus with some light illuminating it
The following I wouldn’t mind if they were used in JJ c:

A route, probably one of the earlier ones
http://i.imgur.com/NdRzuMs.png
An overview of a random Town. Names appreciated :3
http://i.imgur.com/JS4mRma.png
What said random Town would probably look like in game, with shading, darkness, etc. Lights still need to be added
Sigmatau town
(Combo of the greek letters for T and S)
The first “maybe for JJ” route looks like a revamp of the route next to Verdanturf Town in hoenn.
Please put this in ;~; We need to work on it
Oh yeah it kind of does, i never noticed that
I love the PokeCenter design.
It’s not mine, but thanks i guess 😛
That route is cooler than most up to Gen 5ish lel
And Arceus Event cutscene would be so cool.
Like, it uses Judgement on you and deems you worthy of catching it.
I love it, it looks awesome! 😀
nice talent, GF will take this if it was in 3d .
