FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
The time has come for the official draft process. Please try not to post other than to make your draft selection. We are using standard OU rules, so only Ubers are not allowed, and they are listed here:
Also here are the remaining pokemon divided by tier. NFE pokemon are not listed, but you are more than welcome to select them as well. It must also be stated that once a pokemon is selected, you must select a single form of that pokemon (if it comes in multiple forms) to use on your team. For instance, should one select Landorus, he must specify which form will be used. Finally, here is the randomized draft order: TC_Pro Tim Allen Dark_Chrysalis thesunfan eastsideman09 XelNya YoshL Also, here are the updated teams: As a reminder, you have 24 hours from the previous pick to make a selection. Should you miss your pick, it will be moved to the end of the draft. Should you miss three picks, you will be eliminated from the tournament. CURRENT PICK SEND IN YOUR TEAMS PLS I PM'D YOU |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Approved.
Remember: draft picks begin at 12:00 PM EST on October 1, 2013. |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
aw shit here it goes
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Garchomp is both banned as Uber and in OU
seems legit |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Salamence
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Wait, why is Garchomp banned? He's OU on smogon... Same for Wobbuffet (although he's much lamer).
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Because Chompy was banned at one point, and not too long ago there was a brouhaha over Sand Veil hax.
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Sand Veil is banned to Ubers on showdown because of the evasion clause. Also, Salamance was Uber at one point too, wasn't he?
I mean, I wasn't planning on picking Garchomp, but still... I mean, any ice beam wrecks him. |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Salamence was uber in DPP, but with the power creep in BW, he became balanced again.
But just because the elitist asshats at Smogon have these clauses doesn't mean we have to follow them unless Arkuski says otherwise. |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Well, we're using Showdown, and they've got those clauses implemented into the OU game. I just assume evasion/sleep/other clauses will be in effect.

Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
fuck i'm last lmfao
also TC_Pr0 PICKED SALAMENCE Wolfhunter's pick next also, at this rate, literally this draft pick is going to take like 2 and a half months. Something theoretical to work?: everyone sends in a team of 6. Arkuski will go through and announce only the pokemon that were valid up to the first duplicate. Eveyone sends in however many they need to resend. e.g. eastside - bulbasaur, ivysaur, venusaur, blastoise, wartortle, squirtle tc_pr0 - charmander, charmeleon, zapdos, ivysaur, moltres, suicune igotrhythm - igglybuff, jigglypuff, wigglytuff, ditto, smeargle, arceus everyone's first 3 pokemon would go through. igotrhythm's ditto would go through (if picking order is 1-2-3-3-2-1) and tc_pr0 would have the duplicate ivysaur. then eastside &, tc_pr0 need to send in 3 more, igot sends in 2 |

i disagree. I don't want to wait 2 fucking months to play. also

also, i know the jiggly team, with the magic guard weather, i'm very familiar lol |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
basically, in the example I gave, upon hitting the first duplicate, everyone is required to re-send in picks, but are notified of the current picks that went through. I see literally no problem in team building, because if you hit a pokemon that isn't available, then oops, re-send time

Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
basically, i don't think 2 months of waiting is very hype
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Wait-wait-wait-wait, I didn't sign up for this???????

Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Wolfxhunter has like 3 minutes before he's skipped.
Edit: I guess that means it's Charu's pick |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Okay guys i am going to send all of you an inbox asking for a team of six please respond by the end of the week if this works out we can get started sooner thx bye
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
I say again: "I did not sign up for this."
Saying this now before things happen. |

Keep sending in those teams though! |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Sending in whole teams is a great idea, but the way it will be handled is less than great. Instead of stopping the "draft" right at the 1st duplicate, I say just take the next pokemon down the line for that person and continue on. And once someone doesn't have a pick left, you can tell them to put the rest of their picks in. I think people are going to pick duplicates a LOT more than you think, which means a LOT of resends if we stop every time there's a dupe. As an example for my revised method:
In this way you can at least get a good amount of the Pokemon you originally wanted for your team (I would say realistically everyone should get at least 3) and just fill the holes in with the next resend, and so on. It should hopefully stop less often as well since different people will need to fill in different holes, with different Pokemon. Obviously this method takes a little more work and care on Arkuski's part, but hey you organized this thing. :p |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
the reason for doing the multiple sending in is because upon discovering that you've hit a roadblock and one of your pokemon have been taken, it can drastically change your team.

Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
I guess we'll see. In either case its at least faster than waiting on individual picks.
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
If we're sending in a whole team, scratch my prior Salamence pick please.
Team: Ninetails, Venusaur, Exeggutor, Darmatian, Xatu, Victini |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
^Case in point why the whole draft would need to be stopped. Anyone who sent in a sun team now has to rethink their whole strategy now that Ninetails is off the board.
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
fuck you tc_pro you're not getting that whole team not everyone can have a sunny day team *steals venusaur*
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Isn't the point of a draft to make the best of what everyone else leaves you, thus making teams centered around a specific strategy all but impossible?
Now I'm kicking myself for not taking Politoed. |

I have a few teams in mind, all of which depend on who I can get with my first pick. Some Pokemon are very versatile, and certain 'roles' can be filled by a number of Pokemon. I'm not expecting my team to turn out how my first submission looks at all lol. |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Still waiting on 4 teams
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
Gardevoir, Lopunny, Milotic, Virizion, Glaceon, Miltank
I just searched for the sexiest Pokemon on Gaia and got this list. |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
pretty sure you were supposed to pm the teams lol
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
i wanted everyone to know what they were up against

Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
maybe a deadline for sending teams in?
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
I'm thinking we need this too... honestly, if its been this long and they haven't said anything to you yet they may have either forgotten about the tournament or don't really care enough to respond.
Not to sound too rude, but a week should be way more than enough time to pay attention to something under normal circumstances. I mean, every tournament has its inactive people at the beginning that simply forgot or had stuff come up that's more important. |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
OK I'll remind them again and if they don't send it in they're dead to me

Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
k we're done with the draft wait a day or so and I'll make a post for the actual tournament
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
So when are we gonna get a bracket drawn up?
|
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
For the record, we'll have to play in the Gen 5 OU tab. PS is integrating Gen 6, which is great, but I'm not sure if some of the changes will spill over to other Gens...
I'm particularly concerned, because I've got a Rain team. |
Re: FFR Pokemon Draft Tournament DRAFT
