Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon

[braix]

Adults don't exist.

Is that why molayne isn't a captain any more

[mikey]

Have Sun/moon been out long enough for us to consider an NSM tournament?

[SlowPokemon]

I'm totally in, though I kind of want to make legendary Pokémon not a thing that are allowed. But yeah I'd participate either way.

[Nebbles]

I'd participate as well, agreeing on Slow's rules. No legendaries, though I think UBs should be okay?

[mikey]

I was thinking we could decide on a metagame like maybe monotype or something cause that would be pretty cool
Also 100% for banning legendaries, they're usually just better options than existing pokemon
The format should be pre-pokebank though, so that the people who were competitive before Sun/Moon don't have an unfair advantage.
-Island scans should be allowed.  They're not allowed for some official tournaments for some reason since they're not in the alola pokedex but eh
-I don't like ultra beasts that much but they seem pretty popular so maybe we can allow in certain quantities?

[SlowPokemon]

I was actually including the Ultra Beasts, but since people want to use them I don't mind. We could also use the rules of the Battle of Alola tournament that just happened, where legendary/mythical Pokémon and Ultra Beasts were allowed, but only one per team.

We'd also have to decide if we should use Link Battle rules (1-6 Pokémon allowed) or the general Battle Spot rules (1-3 Pokémon allowed).

Edit: I'm also all for the pre-Poké Bank update thing. I have old competitive Pokémon but I'm fine just using ones caught in Sun and Moon.

[Nebbles]

My current team completely was built in Moon anyway, so good for me. I'm fine with any rules tbh, 1-6 or 1-3.

[mikey]

Battle of Alola rules don't allow island scan pokemon if I'm interpreting them correctly
which means I don't get to use my Azumarill

I also like Link Battle rules with 6 slots because there's more space for team synergy and it promotes people trying out cool gimmicks that might be more fun

[SlowPokemon]

I'm not talking straight Battle of Alola rules, because that tournament didn't allow held items. Also, it allowed any Pokémon as long as they were caught in a Sun or Moon game.

[mastersuperfan]

I'm all for pre-Pokébank teams. I actually wish they would make the Pokébank update come out later because I wanted to play in the pre-Pokébank metagame.

Personally, I prefer 1-6 over 1-3. I'm fine with normal 6v6 singles or with Noc's idea of a monotype metagame tournament.

As for UBs, I'm a little iffy, since they're everywhere on Showdown, but either way is acceptable for me.

[mikey]

yeah I think UB usage is the big thing we have to work out, since some people want to use them and some of us don't want to use them.  Any ideas?

[SlowPokemon]

I'll go with whatever the rest of you decide, but I'd personally advocate for only one legendary/mythical Pokémon or Ultra Beast per team. Using any more than that is just kinda cheap, and this should satisfy the people who want to use one in their team.

[mikey]

I think I might have a problem with baton passes into beast boost

[DocDoom2]

One Ultra Beast or Legendary per team sounds good to me or at the least, some sort of limit.
Also I really like that idea of monotype!
