Can't wait! I hope they play "Can I Play With Machamps", "The Lombrest Day" and "Face In The Sandshrew"

Only saw this now, ha! Epic. They played none of them. But 'Blood Bronzor' was pretty epic, and 'Fear of the Darkrai' is one of my favorites

So tomorrow at the usual time then?

Yay for bank holiday Monday, meaning Sunday timetables, meaning a bus at a decent time!

Would any mid week day suit anyone?

From Wednesday onwards I should be awake and recovered from Magic the Gathering to make Pokemon meetups

Would next Thursday (26th) suit people?

Sounds good to me

I like the way we are now going to hi-jack Nom-Con for a Pokémeet up

The tourny is on the 11am to 4.30pm block and after that I have nothing else keeping me there. Weather permitting we could go down to the beach that's a maybe 20 minutes walk away. Or go to the Starbucks down the road, or into the random pubs that are deserted during the day across from the RDS. Or indeed hang out in some randomspare room at Nom-Con

Are you really expecting it to last that long...?

I'm not coming to the con, I don't expect to be up anywhere near in time what with the stuff I have happening tonight. I would meet after but I'll be busy at an Eirtakon meeting.

Nope. That was the time I was given. I've also be given a time slot on Sunday at the last minute

You might want to be careful what you say around here...

Shocked at how badly the 'tournament' was run today. So many ESSENTIAL rules left out. No one hit KO's? I think thats important. Especially if nobody said anything in free play. AND it was used too in the first round and nobody said anything.

Free play is well, Free play. It was done for folks to get a fell for playing on PBR. I didn't have to do it and but did. I don't care much for free play as it's not part of the tournament.
Your 'mon weren't spotted, as let's be honest here, I was probably taking in more registration forms and explaining for the umteenth time how to fill them in.

OHKO moves are only 30% accuracy, that's pretty pee poor to hit. Factor in Sturdy, active Substitute and Focus Sash and they become pretty useless. I can't remember the final clause ruling. It's been about 6 months since I wrote up rules, so pardon me if I don't remember every thing I wrote down. I've kinda had two lots of VGC, my wedding and two doses of MTG Nationals rules to stuff in my little head.

And nobody said anything to me about Cherish Balls not being allowed. They weren't hacked. They were transferred from a friends game as a held item. I don't see the problem. They do nothing to give an advantage to your pokemon, bar a shiny entrance. If they weren't allowed, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE RULES.

Cherish Balls we allowed as long as the Pokemon in them were proper Cherish Ball Pokémon. Cherish Ball Pokémon are Pokémon got Pokemon Event either in person or via wi-fi.

Did you miss seeing the Shiny Raichu that was played? Shiny Raichu in a Cherish Ball can arise from evolving the Shiny Pichu event (aka Pikachu-coloured Pichu event) that was available for all on Wi-fi a few months back.
Go and find me the event that gave out nicknamed shiny Metagross and Tyranitar and I will recognise your Cherish Ball 'mon.

Don't forget I had given you the option to replace said T-tar and Metagross before your next match, which is more than you'd get at official tournaments.

As for the rules, there was plenty enough trouble trying to explain Double Battles to half the players. You want to add a list of Cherish Ball 'mon to that? Most of the twenty thousand emails are going to be "what's a Cherish Ball?" followed by "what's a Pokémon Event?", followed by "when's the next Pokémon event?".

A sham of a tournament, awfully run, and an awful organiser that wanted to get her own way since nobody else cared.

It's my first run PBR tournament and it's also the first Nom-Con ever. We're bount to make the odd mistake. True nobody else cared (as that's the nature of Pokémon) about the tourny, be glad that I did and actually saw it through.

If I wanted my own way I would have only taken registration from those that came on the day with the registration sheets that had been previously emailed out and closed the event at the end of the time (4.30pm) and actually had something to eat other than snacks and a bottle of Diet Coke.
Instead I let anyone that wanted to register, and ended up running until around 7pm, which I will properly get in trouble for both.

\end explaination

For anyone that's interested here's the finals:

*sulks over the fact that he couldn't go*

When is the next meeting would love to meet up with everybody b4 I get busy again....

Well with the schools back, I doubt midweek is going to be possible anymore.

Is this Saturday too soon?

I thought that the tounament was brilliant. I didn't even get past the first round (lol) but it was really entertaining to watch. I thought that the organiser did a great job as we all enjoyed ourselves and she stayed to finish the tourney even though it way over time. ^^

Won't the next pokemon tourney be at Eirtakon?

Well, im free ALL day from Wednesday - Friday as far as I know
