Skryman Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 After a long while of server reform (the cap was raised from 850 to 1450 and that took a while), the game seems to be working fine and it looks as if the developers' views are now into increasing the fun inside the game (given that they gave us the first swarm and all). I believe the best thing for this is to start having PvP tournaments. Therefore I have a suggestion of a tournament model that would be very exciting at least in my opinion. This tournament would be hosted every week with two main stages: qualifiers and finals. Stage 1: Qualifiers (Monday to Friday) This would be an open stage where everyone can participate. The dynamic is simple: you challenge someone to a ranked battle and whoever wins gets points relative to the difference in max lvl's. Keeping in mind the 20 levels difference rule, I believe 10 pts for a win +-1 for every 4 levels of max lvl difference is fair (so scoring ranges from 5 to 15 pts per battle). Only the first battle of the week between the same 2 players counts (to avoid win farming). This stage would go from Monday 00:00 to Friday 23:59. After this time interval, the top 16, 32 or maybe even 64 players (32 sounds good to me given our player base) are selected for the weekly finals. This is stage 2. Stage 2: Finals (Saturday and Sunday) This would be the main event and I'm sure people many people will want to spectate these battles. (Hell, I would even suggest converting the GTS Building in Golden Rod into a Stadium where the finals should be held). Here it is simple, 1v32 / 2v31 in a ladder with direct elimination (maybe making it the best of three but this would take alot of time for 14 battles) This obviously MUST be held at a specific time of the day where everyone is online and this is gonna be impossible since we have players from all time zones. Therefore my suggestion is to make the time of the finals change every week (and making the time known since the start of the week). This way if the finals are being held at 4am in your time zone this week you at least can't complain that nobody told you. Rewards: Round of 32 - Round of 16 - Quarter Finals - Semi Finals - Finals - I haven't thought of many things yet (like the rewards or whether the finals should be split into two days or just one) but I would like to hear your feedback on this tournament format and of course my thoughts aren't final so any suggestion to improve this would be welcome. EDIT: Possible Rewards Pool: MS Medallion, Coins, Clothes, Egg Move Tickets (for when theyre implemented); not yet implemented Pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buscik Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 i like that idea :y: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sesshomaru Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 For me personally, more abilities/moves/items need be implemented to really consider comp play atm. They will come into the game with time, so just be patient. :) Im sure there will be a comp scene in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecca Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I hope this game has 'player gym leader' system.. The winners of weekly PvP become the gym leader in every areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldra Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If formal competitive play is implemented, there would be a spontaneous change in the metagame as more tm moves get added and as hoenn (soon, supposedly) gets implemented. Many originally competitive pokemon currently are not effective solely due to the lack of tms/move tutors supporting their signature moves (e.g. calm mind, sword dance, stone edge), while others are dominating in the metagame because their counters have yet to receive the proper weapons. That said, should be interesting to see changes in a month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skryman Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 I honestly don't see why we cant have comp battling with the battling system as it is. Players will adapt to how the metagame is now and will continue to adapt as more TM's, moves and abilities are implemented. Therefore this is not an impediment in my opinion.

Beast53 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 i justed for tournaments too earlier but now i think it should be given some time, many moves are broken, there r many glithes, no spactacle system and many abilities not working, so wait some time for tourneys for now join tournaments held by other players or some small tourneys by staff...
