xSkyy Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Explanation Hello everybody, and welcome to the beginning of the everlasting Togepi Cup. This tournament will be a purely Little Cup tier tournament, with a monthly re-occurance. For those of who who do not know, Little Cup is a format in which players may only use Pokemon that have not yet evolved but are capable of evolution, with all playing pokemon keeping a level of 5. There will be a completely different format each month (the tier of Little Cup will never change) with the format chosen for each month being based on player responses, or the choice of a random format.

RysPicz Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME E: I would rather consider banning Meditite btw E2: mfw it's not in the list of allowed pokemon but ain't on the ban list either E3: that ninja edit without noticing Edited February 14, 2016 by RysPicz ShadowGary and DoctorPBC 2 Link to comment
OrangeManiac Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Clamperl allowed (and Gastly)? oh boy. Awesome to see Little Cup though. Edit: Please make this 64 man bracket, it would be frustrating to raise a team without getting in. Matches last like 1/8 of the normal battle anyways, probably much less than that too.

Clamperl is allowed as Deep Sea Tooth is banned from this Tournament. Also, I can't make this a 64-man bracket since LC has no Tournament mode in-game, the refs can not multi-ref many matches. Also, we're waiting to see a general response from players on the interest in these Tournaments all-together. Link to comment
RysPicz Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Meditite has been put on the Allowed Pokemon list, as this first event is on a trial basis it will be allowed to be used for test purposes. uwotgril I know it's vallentines and I'm so handsome it's intimidating so it's all forgiven.

Kizhaz Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I don't think baton pass should be banned nor should berry juice. LC is literally the berry juice tier ShadowGary 1 Link to comment

I really don't understand why cannot you play it in tournament mode, as far as I know if you have level 5s and start a Tournament mode they will still remain lv 5s. PandaJJ 1 Link to comment
PandaJJ Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 What is the reasoning behind 3v3? Just because people don't have the pokemon? Because from a competitive perspective, I imagine 3v3 being a lot more match-up based than say 6v6. Also, seeing as doubles is a completely different format than singles, the same pokemon are probably not viable there, hence meaning LC doubles would require you to make an entirely new set of pokemon. I would probably settle on one standard metagame, like 6v6 singles, rather than making so many completely different ones. Just my thought. OldKeith and Eggplant 2 Link to comment

LC is literally the berry juice tier Berry Juice has been modified and is allowed in this tournament. Baton pass will remain banned, as it is banned even in Tournament mode. Link to comment

Tyrone Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Aah I missed the item bans, makes sense then. I really don't understand why cannot you play it in tournament mode, as far as I know if you have level 5s and start a Tournament mode they will still remain lv 5s. Tournament Mode does work, but we don't have a Little Cup format that handles the allowed pokemon / levels / items. This means the refs need to check each individual match for used pokemon, appropriate level and items, which is more time consuming. (I am sure you remember how long Tournaments lasted back in 2013). What is the reasoning behind 3v3? Just because people don't have the pokemon? Because from a competitive perspective, I imagine 3v3 being a lot more match-up based than say 6v6. Also, seeing as doubles is a completely different format than singles, the same pokemon are probably not viable there, hence meaning LC doubles would require you to make an entirely new set of pokemon. I would probably settle on one standard metagame, like 6v6 singles, rather than making so many completely different ones. Just my thought. Reasoning behind 3v3 is to create a small entry barrier for players to join the Tournament. Making it 6v6, would require people to make at least 6 LC Comps (Let's say 9 if they don't want to get scouted) in a small time frame. In the future, it will become 6v6 as stated in the OP. The Doubles is a gimmick, gimmicks are fun. Tag team is standard metagame. Link to comment
OrangeManiac Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Diglett is both in allowed and banned Pokemon atm. Edit: @ Tyrone, we're still talking about a format which matches last on average 2-4 minutes, with this meta could be even less. Basically just doubling the amount of matches compared to a standard OU tournament which matches last average of 20+ minutes. Edited February 14, 2016 by OrangeManiac Link to comment

Basically just doubling the amount of matches compared to a standard OU tournament which matches last average of 20+ minutes. The match length probably is short enough to allow a larger bracket size given the constraints of reffing. I believe the bigger problem lies with the amount of sign-ups. We don't know how much interest there is in this event yet and don't want to overreach with the initial Bracket size. SIgn-ups are a few days before the event starts. If there's a big difference in the amount of sign-ups and Bracket size, a larger Bracket will be considered. Gunthug 1 Link to comment

DoctorPBC Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Hype!!!!! I'm gonna make a guide later in the month similar to doubleJs doubles one.

xSkyy Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hype!!!!! I'm gonna make a guide later similar to doubleJs doubles one. Would appreciate any help from the community I can get I think a Little Cup guide would be much appreciated, since this specific Tier/Format isn't too popular right now in the game itself, but we're hoping it will pick up.

DoctorPBC Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 tbh meditite should probably get a ban, its notorious for being incredibly overpowered in LC a quick ban off the start prevents people wasting money on breeding 1 only to have it inevitably banned a few tournaments down the line. Sky can we make this happen pls Link to comment
