Sorry Ksh13 for not asking for approval beforehand but I'll probably forget about this thing tomorrow and it's a really good yet complex idea. I hope you understand, specially after reading this.
The idea
If you read the title you may know where this is heading. The idea is to make one last VGC'15 tournament before Gen 6 is forgotten.
Reasons
My reasons for this are quite simple: a lot of people don't like this format. I've seen countless complaints on Twitter, Showdown and even here, plus a lot of players losing interest in the scene and even some dropping VGC this year like the 2014 World Champion Se Jun Park. It's not hard to see why people would dislike this format: big 6 has won countless events by now, even winning Korean Nationals and the room for innovation on teams is really little, as only few Pokemon can play head to head with the likes of Primal Groudon, Xerneas, and Primal Kyogre.
Why VGC'15 over any other format?
Many reasons. First of all, the format is still playable although the level of competence of the BSD ladder has decreased due to many VGC people just forgetting about VGC'15. Secondly, it's the most recent format which means it's still fresh, allowing people to still build and play the format. Last, but not least, VGC'15 is the most popular PLAYABLE format at this time, as we can't play VGC'13 in the DS. This opens yet another question...
Tournament settings?
What would be the tournament platform? PO, PS! or in-game?
What about the date and time? Should this tournament be a live tournament or it should be a weekly round based tournament, like the NPA or other tournaments?
Many questions can be asked about this matter, but that's honestly up to you to decide. I just want to have fun: no prestige, no prizes, no salt. If you enjoy playing, you're welcome.
The ruleset
Should we have the same settings that 2015 had? Or should we let this year events, like Static Zapdos, travel back in time for one last VGC'15 tournament. That is, again, up to you.
The main objective of this thread
The reason to make this thread is to allow the community to discuss and decide how they want this tournament to be, something that isn't really done with other tournaments anywhere. Why, you may ask? The objective of the tournament is to ENJOY one last VGC'15 tournament. I want this to be a memorable and fun experience, so the people playing the tournament should see which ways of making this tournament will make it the enjoyable experience it is meant to be. I already got quite some positive feedback regarding this issue, so i expect the same to happen here.
I also want to collab with the current Battle Spot forums, which is why the most active of our members there, ProjectTitan313 , should take a look at this thread.
Hoping this actually works, i must give you my thanks for reading this long text. With that said, I'm out. Have a nice day, as always!
