October ’14 Tournament
Some of you remember that we previously teased that we would be bringing additional smaller tournaments to the site, today we’re pleased to partially announce the next tournament! Expect full details in the coming days, with sign-ups opening very soon.
This tournament comes from the mind of DefensiveBastiodon (with a little direction from me that I wanted themed tournaments ;)). This tournament (as of yet unnamed) will feature seven types only: Ghost, Dark, Psychic, Bug, Fairy, Dragon and Poison. All battles will be in the VGC Double 4v4 style.
As we said, we’ll bring more details very soon so potential participants can sign up and have a month to construct their teams. Stay tuned!

Lol what if BF gets Battle maison hax.
Imagine the rage.
Omfg
the rage
Battle maison hax+battle palace or pyramid=GG life
Pretty sure its always been full of hax. Even in the originals.
Troooo
What if it gets Pokemon Stadium Computer (AI)
That would be horrifying
The Pokemon Stadium AI are good at predicting and stuff not only that they are extremely lucky
what if ORAS only gets battle maison and no frontier
LOOOOOL
Oh man….like don’t even joke about that
did you see the end of the latest oras trailer? LOL. It showed Mega Metagross battling and the background had the Chateau/Maison background XD
Yeh. I saw that. It made me sad a little.
I bet they could still bring back the chateau.
inb4 beta or better yet
MEga metagross compatable in XY
What if We burn you alive?
Too far?
naw just right
Steel is weak to fire 😉
lmfao XD
yall gonna sacrifice me for the frontier
We offer you as a sacrifice to hoenn gods.
we would XD inb4 someone photoshops heavy’s face to that xerneas head sacrifice pic XD
then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lydBPm2KRaU
I wouldn’t mind if they added it into the Battle Frontier.
I like that
but the Maison is practically the same as Battle Tower so if they add it they probably would replace the Battle Tower and still make Anabel the Brain
Well, the Maison is kinda the upgraded Battle Tower, so they’d have to change something.
Maybe the tower can have custom rules?
what if a sceptile came to your door and used leaf blade to slice you in half 🙂
It may be just me but i seriously think that makuhita and grovel weren’t the official levels at all tbh
leaf blade at 23 hell no
Omfg troooooo
There’s strong rumors around suggesting Treecko gets Leaf Blade when it evolves into Grovyle at 16
Hmmm
HMMHMHMMMH
yeah no that won’t happen……if it does il rage
It deserves fury cutter and pursuit XD
It can still get them. Just looks like its movepool was rearranged.
I’d rather have Leaf Blade at 16 then 29 tbh
i doubt game freak will edit the starters move sets that have been practically the same over the years instead they will edit the new pokemon added to the hoenn dex
Shiftry was shown to have Leaf Blade.
It’s obvious pokes will have revamped movesets
They already gave treecko energy ball iirc
wait what
Yup he used it in the first trailer
that beta
Like chespin using aerial ace in the first trailer
He can use aerial ace tho
leaf blade that early on WAY too easy
i doubt game freak will edit an already good move set
Also, who has a Wii U? Add me pls. My NNID is Daedardus (obviously). I have no friends on Wii U.
I think I just get an invite back? Or do I have to add you too? Better say your name below here.
fonfabre13
I would add you, except I already have you.
Shhh. I told them I had no friends.
Should I add you?
After all, you just insulted me.
And said you hated me.
Not sure if you are even serious.
Not sure if you’re serious…
Death called me dirty and offended me. Goodbye world. I’m going to go bathe.
Death is my father, just saying.
I’m Death the Kid, but they call me Kid.
Go write your name.
I have to make it symmetrical…
If you say symmetrical one more time im going to explode and die
Symmetrical.
Hello, this is Djja’s mom. My son just exploded and died. Do you want to know why?
Symmetry.
That’s always why.
((Apparently can’t do gifs on mobile!))
Precisely
I know I have said this so many times
But PLEASE
UPDATE BF TO SINNOH FRONTIER RULES
No make it even harder >:D
Sinnoh? Ew.
Lol chico u so rood ;3
I know it is Ew. But the Frontier rules of Hoenn were Pretty bad
They almost killed me
I just want to be able to co-op the battle frontier….
YAS GURL YAAAAAAAS
But those Hoenn Frontier rules…
I really need to stop saying Yas XD
Trying to remember some Pokemon I trained to beat the battle frontier in Emerald.
I remember Greta’s Endure Reversal Herracross, I used a Blaziken with Quick Attack to beat it, after getting wrecked numerous times.
Swampert and Metagross against Brandon. Metagross also wrecked Lucy’s stupid Toxic Stalling strategy.
Awww man….good times
I feel like the battle frontier brains could smell fear
Tucker used to dance around in my fear
XD I just did the Battle Factory 24/7
I did Battle Arena and Battle Dome Sometimes but Battle Factory was my home
I wouldn’t be surprised if Blaziken gets Close Combat or Hammer Arm added to its oras movepool
No
Along with another Mega. Yay for favouritism
Also evidence that the levels mean nothing is the fact that in the first XY trailer chespin uses aerial ace
Chespin dont leanr aerial ace to begin with XD
He does tho XDDDD
as a tm
just like treecko with energy ball
The levels are final. The games are finished products already. Makuhita is now lvl 16, you’re just gonna have to deal with it. And Grovyle apparently learns Leaf Blade earlier. It makes sense.
Not all trainers are nerfed. The schoolboy who looks like Max has a Ralts that is 1 level higher than the original Ralts he has.
im not complaing dude geez just putting some ideas out there
Not necessarily the trailer can still show modded stuff.
Why do they still have a Mudkip in the desert. That thing should be a Marshtomp
exactly^ trailers aren’t always 100% accurate
Not everyone likes to evolve their starters. Some ppl (like girls) mainly keep their first starter cause its cute.
The trailers don’t even show the “this isn’t final footage” on the bottom anymore because games finish wrapping up around this time. 2-3 months before release.
Maybe it was so far off they felt that they didnt need that sign lol
maybe, but they had it up for the salamence trailers etc and now its not there anymore
probably cause it was a japanese trailer only
american trailers ar eusually the ones to say the footage not final thing
hmmm dat is strange ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
maybe since it was a japanese trailer and japanese people dont follow no rules
thats what i said :3 hoenner s for ever
^^^Yes
Like Girls?
Ash does it ALL the time
I had my Quilladin as a Quilladin for a long time before I evolved it into Chesnaught (close to elite 4), but chespin? nah..
but still game freak used a mud kip there for demonstration not cause its cute lol
Maybe he has a makuhita and a haxd haryama we don’t know the other pokemon
chespin can learn Aerial Ace by TM
i know i phrased it wrrog i meant in the move set cause djja said treecko using energy ball means its gonna be a learn up move for him
I didn’t
you said that below XD
cause in the first trailer treecko uses energy ball and you said he learns it
Yeah he LEARNS it.
by TM
whatever usual learning means move set to me but ok
I MEAN IN THE MOVESET NOT COUNTING TMS
Imagine if the hoenn starters got new signature moves to replace their old ones that got stolen >:I
Leaf Blade
Muddy Water
Blaze Kick
Those Faithful moves were stolen!
Sceptile needs new sign move tail blast confirmed priority +2
Gotta go faster
faster than ice shard 😉
I really hope it can be possible to trade with X & Y. It would suck if they make PokeBank the only way to transfer Pokemon, they would have to make all the previous mega stones available in ORAS.
Just sent Dae the best friend request ever.
He will totally hate me less now.
Or at least remember who I am…
I AM KID. A GRIM REPEAR. SON OF DEATH. KEEPER OF PERFECT SYMMETRY. WIELDER OF THE TWIN PISTOLS.
No. You’re Shiny Lickitung and you’re gonna like it.
But I don’t like it.
So no.
No you’re a 14 year old kid who’s sitting home on his laptop eating a chocolate banana while watching anime
First, I’m on my phone.
Second, I’m allergic to bananas.
Third, I’m playing MK8.
a 14 year old on his phone who is commenting on a pokemon fansite while playing a mario racing game. Who is also allergic to bananas.
Ok So after mounths of neglet I”m fanaly playing Y agian. What should i do? Breed a Team for AS or Breed my team for the (placeholder name) tourny?
For AS, do:
(starter)
Banana tree
Torkoal 😡
Froslass
Roserade
Gerdevoir
No i already got mah team picked out
Sceptile
Flygon
metagross
Gerdevior
something
something
I’m pulling for a all hoenn team in honer of the remakes!
Yay!!! :DDDD
Hey I may be as big as a sinnoh fan as you are a hoenn fan, but i have respect for hoenn and it does deserves a all hoenn team for the remakes.
You picked sceptile <3333
#GrassStarter4Life
#YESSS
#OccasionalWaterStarter
#Omfgyes
#Firehate
Breed some competitive pokemon that you’ll never use ever!
That’s what I do.
Why don’t we all be like brawley and go with the flow :3 bruh
HE HAD SANIC DA HEJ HAWGS VOICE IN THE ANIME
yep XD
Heavy bby r u here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
yeah. about to step out though. sup?
I wanted to hackmon battle you xDDDD
okay lets get 1 in before i go lol
Can we do it when you get back XD
I got to build a team
ahh yeah of course ^_^ ill dm you on twitter in about an hour or 2
I think when we get the starters from Birch they will each have a STAB move this time like how the kalos starters had them. Absorb/Ember/Watergun at level 5
But it was so fun learning that first move ;~;
i can definitely see that.
What i wonder is how do we get the mega stones from them.
Cause i DOUBT we get them from the start unlike the kanto starters
I think the first time we meet Steven we do a “demonstration” mega battle where he uses Mega Charizard-X against our mega. Rambles on about how he first discovered stones in kalos etc and then gives us our mega stone for our starter
I wonder where we get the thing
the mega bangle?
Yes that thing XD
cause those falls don’t correspond with any place in hoenn
We meet Steven well before that though. We meet him in Dewford which will be well before we have any Mega
ahhhh good point. so hard to speculate on what will happen XD
Maybe from steven. Or MAYBE its your father.
What about Norman?
Ahh that’s also plausible. forgot about good ol pops can give us our mega
he gives you the sceptilite
Birch is probably studying them and gives them to you and May or you and Brendan when he figures out what they are.
Am i the only one woh is overjoyed that they are fixing the leveling? I can’t explain how annoying it was t ogrind all the time in emerald. Ever since i went through the pain of beating it once and just can’t make “may”self(pokemon pun) to go through the pain of grinding all the way through again.
maybe they’re lowing wild pokemon levels so it’s harder to grind 😮
….If that happens I’ma go cry in da corner for about 5 mins then remeber i still have sinnoh and they still love me there.
Oh and Djja did you like the pun? 😉
Oh yes I did ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Put that in there with you in mind bby 😉
Lol thx ily bby <3 😡
#SinnohXHoenn #Peaceondasteets #RegionEquality
#CynthiaxSteven #Stevia #Ho-oh
I really want to feature this comment, but I have to control the urge.
Do it
Do not let power corrupt you oh wise and might Xatu of the third eye.
That was the worst part about HG/SS :I
I honestly never had a prob on my first playthrough, but going back and playing i noticed the need to grind lol.
Another thing that I’m curious about is… Hoenn doesn’t have a sun dial. So will we have to wait between 8-9 pm to find certain mega stones or nah?
What special landmark in Hoenn is associated with space/sun? Or a landmark that stands out but has no function before?
I KNOW the lighthouse thing in lilycove
Maybe they’ll implement a new landmark or something, probably in Meteorite Falls/Cave
Um the Mosdeep space center maybe
hopefully not cause waiting was annoying as hell
Caus ei can imagine trying to rush through the game to catch the time frame
Same slip! Same..
Or maybe they’ll be available any time after E4?
I’m hoping available anytime before e4 lol
Yeah I want to use my mega milotic to sweep steven >:)
I don’t think we’re going to have that whole Mega stone scavenger hunt thing like in X/Y w/the sundial.
Instead the Mega stones will probably just be around the map & we’ll be able to get them and mega evolve our pokemon during the main storyline. c:
love your optimism. I hope so!!!
What i thought was norman gave you the sceptilite (and others) while steven stone gives you the bangle or the other way around
I just think both are involved
Does anyone think we will get a smash newcomer this week? I think its definitley possible.
i think so mostly because smash is released in japan this week.
Yeah. everything will be spoiled on friday so sakurai really has nothing to lose anymore.
the lighthouse thing in lilycove can easily be made like a sundial
Maybe it’s satanic and haunted and we gona git eaten
I can see this happening.
Hey guysI guess I would like to say something as well tho. I would like to congratulate everyone who participated in PJT. You have all gotten so much better in battling! Battling many of you have been so fun! And yes you are all better than me now if not already XD. But seriously you all did a great job to have prepared such great pokemon. Maple congratulations on being the champion of the first PJT! This is just coming from me so yeah. Again congratulations to everyone! I look forward to watching the battle videos and to hopefully seeing many of you in the future tourneys.
Underwater secret bases. Make it happen GF.
Space secret bases.
Make
it
happen
I’ll say its possible. Specially since we have the whole Scuba diving thing going on now XD
We know longer magically have infinite breath underwater ^_^
That would be perfect for my mono water “gym”. ;-;
what scubba dive thing?
Dive XD
Well in the trailer, it shows that Brendan has face gear/scuba equipment.
imagine just imagine that all the gym leaders are the same level except brawley cause he was too hard in r/s/e so they nerved him XD Id lol so hard at that
He was pretty hard to be honest. That Hariyama vital throw was beastly
Sorry Makuhita
exactly
imagine this time around that cause his level drop he has a 6iv top percentage makuhita
I’m happy that maple won the pjt, I helped build his team :3
I’m also looking forward to the new mini tournament, you’ll probably see my name in there!
The tournament officials should not be allowed to help the competitors. I call match fixing
Yeah that’s the only problem, if we can have it so it’s impossible for that to happen then I’ll participate.
Lol. I was just joking.
I thought it was good to talk about that kinda stuff when I had the chance.
star bits helped me make my team before i thought i wouldn’t be in the tourney then when i joined we are in the same group -_- that ended well XD
This is a Mini Tournament?
OMG…. I just saw Maple’s team. That was the team my team was designed to counter…. ;-; The final round and that was the only team I would’ve fought against with it. XD
Lol. Mine too.
I’m having a HUGE face palm moment.
I literally had a Magnet Pull Magnezone for Skarmory and Mega Gengar with Person Song for Chansey.
Don’t care about giving away my team now. Lol
I still can’t give away my team until I battle Alice…..
We’re gonna have to battle sometime.
