Wow, what the hell were they thinking? This is an awful ruleset, IMO. X_x

 

[Surgo]

The only dumb part of the rules are the level 50 double battles. Nintendo seems to masturbate to its double battles for whatever reason. The rest is essentially standard (yes that includes item clause)...except, lol no sleep clause?

Latios being allowed is pretty damn funny too.

Nature Power = Tri Attack, Hidden Power = 30% paralyse, Camouflage = change to Normal-type

I assume you mean secret power.

 

[Trainer Lisa]

Wow!! O.O


I'm confused though.

And I have a few questions......


1. Is this a "show up at the event to enter" kind of tourmanet? Or does the tournament use Friend Codes for the participants?

2. If it's an FC tournament, is it going to be for Japanese players only? Or are American players allowed to compete as well?

Japanese games only, presumably using local wireless communications.
