Well guys. Here we are. Late 2006. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are out in full force in Japan. They're awaiting their release of Pokemon Battle Revolution while we await the North American release of Diamond and Pearl. We've had our official Nintendo Tournament: Journey Across America. We had a pretty decent Smogon tournament and won a slew of regionals, but failed to take him the key prize.

Since 2004 we've been playing with this generation, ADV, with our all. We've moved up from the area where, what the fuck, Dragon Dance Salamence is such a cheater. How do I stop that? Agility Metagross for the win! Weezing is awesome. Game Freak gave Skarmory spikes? What the fuck were they smoking? Now we're more like this: Justin8649: fuck celebi. Anyway, we're near the end of our current era and we need to go out with a bang.

May I then present Official Smogon Tournament #3: Ultimate ADV Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.

This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see
and only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
this is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.

This is stolen from an awesome flash video that is the themesong for this tournament. link

Who will win this time to fill the halls with greats such as Tournament #1 winner CrazyStarwolf, or Tournament #2 champion Noobster. Will Tournament #2's Runner up, Hipmonlee, and 3rd placed Aeolus come back to the limelight? Only time will tell.

Tournament Layout

Not too much will have changed from Smogon Tournament #2 in terms of rules, but the layout is a little more... Smogonish.

  • 192 Participants - WTF? Read on, my friend!
  • Single Elimination
  • Species clause
  • Sleep clause
  • Self-KO clause
  • The following Pokemon are banned: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh, Latias, Latios, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Deoxys (All forms), Wobbuffet, Wynaut. This means Celebi and Jirachi are allowed. End of discussion.
  • The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned.
  • The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Fissure, and Sheer Cold are banned.
  • Pokemon XD moves will be allowed.
  • All battles must be done on the Smogon NetBattle server (nb.smogon.com) due to many other english speaking servers creating ridiculous moveset modification modfiles. I'm looking at you, PR.
  • There will be three divisions. Participants will be randomly scattered into these divisions. 64 + 64 + 64 = 192. Make sense now?
  • The winners of the three divisions will proceed to... the Final Round Robin of Ultimate Destiny to determine the victor, runner-up, and third place finisher.

The three division format should help us have a round robin final with the best players. Yes, I know that all the good players could theoretically end up all in one division since the sorting is random, but the chances of that are low.

Tournament Prizes
This time we'll have a t-shirt design and actually get them sent out after the tournament finishes!

  • The winner will receive their choice of either Pokemon Diamond or Pearl when it hits the stores in North America! He or she will also receive a Diamond/Pearl strategy guide, a Smogon Tournament #3 t-shirt, and a trophy on their Smogon Forums profile!
  • The runner-up will receive a Diamond/Pearl strategy guide and a Smogon Tournament #3 t-shirt.
  • The third place finisher will recieve a Smogon Tournament #3 t-shirt.

Sub-Tournament: Got Predictions?
This time it'll be serious!

  • To enter you must submit your Round 1 predictions before more than three battles are completed. There will be a seperate thread for this made at the time the pairings topic is created.
  • When you submit your Round 1 predictions you will also make bold predictions as to who will win each division. Correctly predicting any of these will net you 15 points each.
  • When you submit your Round 1 predictions you will also make bold predictions for the Winner, the Runner-up, and the Third Place Finisher. Correctly predicting any of those correctly will net you 25 points for each correct answer.
  • Regular correct predictions will get you 1 point.
  • The winner of Sub-Tournament: Got Predictions? will receive a Smogon Tournament #3 t-shirt.

Hipmonlee has graciously volunteered to help me run the Sub-tournament so that all goes smoothly and it actually gets counted.

Good luck and may Smogon be with you.

Every now and then I will randomly sort joiners into divisions so people cannot try to manipulate the system by holding off sign ups until a supposed "tough" division may be filled by my random Sorting Hat script.

Go. Fast.
