That's 100% the reason you find it boring. =p
You should consider playing it through without using any legendaries, ever. Just go out and catch pokemon at lower levels, train them up, challenge gyms, re-battle trainers, go on the battle subway, even random wifi matches are really fun.
That's really the whole point to the games. You go out and raise pokemon, building up a team and battling to show how well you've raised them. Flying through the main plot with a legendary just kills it man.
anyway, no more talk of that. This is about the tournament. I'm sure we'll do one for b/w 2 as well, but it'd be great if anyone could pick up the game and take part, even if it's the only tournament you do.

Sorry to hear that. It really makes me sad to see that the games can't be enjoyed to their fullest extent.
On another forum where I go, people ask me a lot what the point to the TCG is and what makes it so much more popular than the videogames and it really just drives me insane, but I don't want to lose my position as Professor, so I can't express my opinions there. >.>
You have to really get into the game. Take the time to learn the actual mechanics to the game. In Pokemon Ruby I did a challenge run and managed to beat all of the gym leaders, elite four, and every single route trainer in the game with only a Mightyena, who started off as a Poochyena. Aside from doing the story, which I seriously suggest ALL people who play Pokemon to put aside and do everything else first, there are a multitude of things that can keep you entertained in the Pokemon games, especially with the newer ones. Do the contests in Gen III and IV, beat all of the battle subway challenges, catch all of the flipping pokemon, that used to be the slogan. There is a whole lot to do in the Pokemon games, way more than most people who play them realize.
Again, please don't get me into these conversations. XD
This thread is about the tournament. If you would like to join, please do so. The more people we have the more fun it will be, and the better chance that we'll do more tournaments.

There's always next time. Don't worry if you can't make this one. Means you have more time to build your team.

Oh, OK. I probably need to search up on the Pokedex to see what Pokemon I need to choose, it will probably take me a few days soo...
As soon as I beat Striaton and get my Pan____, Tepig, and probably a basic one ready, I will join XP
They still need to be higher than level 50, for this tournament at least.
Not really an "Oh, really?" about it, dates as to signing ending have been up since the thread started.
As I've said before, if you don't get in for this one you will have a chance at the next one.
6pm EST. The more the merrier!

If anyone else is wanting to join, you have ten minutes until signups are closed.
That's it, sign ups are over this time.
8 Players is a nice turn out, especially in the sense that it's all fair and nobody gets a straight run through to another round.
I'll make the brackets for tomorrow, be sure to have everyone registered so that you're ready for whoever you have drew.

I'll be uploading and posting the codes on this thread of my battles so everyone can watch them, yes.
I'm not sure if anyone else will though, it would be nice.
