Pokemon X and Y tournament!

[a potato]

I thought that it would be cool if we had a little Pokemon tournament here on TBT. I've decided to set one up.
The first game will only take 20 people, and the prize will probably be a Pokemon* of your choice.
Invite anyone to participate!
I will set up the matchups.

RULES:
One entry ONLY
No legendaries!
6 Pokemon battles
No items(Held are OK)
No bragging that you won

Pokemon that are super-trained and affectionate in amie are allowed.

*The Pokemon of choice must be a non-legendary, non-shiny, legit, and at the caught level.

No items(Held are OK)

Could you explain this?

 

[a potato]

You can't use items in your bag

Why no shinies? They aren't any more powerful than their normal colored counterparts, the just look cooler.

 

[KarlaKGB]

And at the caught level? wtf?

0/10 rules not participating

The non-shiny caught level stuff is for the top prize it would seem, not the participating teams.

To all the self-proclaimed critics,

I know shinies aren't more powerful, it's just that they are nearly impossible to find and too expensive to trade for. They can also take months to find a shiny, which in most cases, would be a shiny Zubat, or even a Wobuffet.
They are at the caught level just because I don't have time to train, and to me, it's more fun to train a Pokemon yourself, as you get to change stats and moves to your liking, and quite frankly, I prefer a highly offensive Pokemon, whereas someone else may prefer a speedy defender.
Legendaries are only found once in each game, so someone will tend to want their legendary or "trade" it on the GTS and want a Xerneas level 9 and under. (Happens more than it should)
So in conclusion, it is only the prize that is at the caught level, and all Pokemon would be level 50 in the battle due to game rules.

Ah I apologise, I thought it meant we couldn't use Shinies. Sign me up!

 

[a potato]

Ok. So far you are winning. Lol

 

[Scribbler397]

oh... I get it now. I thought that that meant that we couldn't battle using shinies. I skimmed too quick.
