Welcome to the Face-off Face-off!
First off, I seriously cannot not think of a name I like for this face-off, so the existing one is the best I could do. It actually, roughly fits, as you will see two paragraphs down...
You know, I have been thinking—why do we face-off just any pokémon and see which is the “best”. It is like math class, where the teachers assign random numbers with certain operations or instructions to teach the student some new concept in math. Well, “best” is relative. How can any pokémon be the “best” if it is an HM slave with EVs against its nature and movepool? Hm, I wonder…oh, they cannot? Really? Then I just found a semi-flaw in our face-offs. I know, howsabout we take the existing winners and see what would be the best competitive movepools, contest movepools, and natures+EVs to go with them? Does that not sound like fun? Of course, so let’s go…
Each face-off will take the winner of a round in some existing face-off and we will nominate things for it such as my examples above. Eventually, it is possible that complete pokémon with movesets and everything could be created from this face-off, while we enjoy ourselves getting there.
As always, rules in this face-off are identical to that of the Dark Face-off Version 2. I see little reason in keeping many different lists of rules that get updated frequently, when I can have one that gets used at multiple places. Make sure you check the glossary every now and then, I try to keep it up with the times (such as, I think I recently added Samir’s Free Tallyist’s Choice).
Since I am not quite sure as of now what face-off round to start with, I will allow the FIRST AND ONLY FIRST poster to tell me a round in some face-off, along with which pokémon won it. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME NON-POKéMON!
So, I hope this face-off, once began, will be an interesting, different experience for SPPf. Only thing I stress is, I can see some round getting messy, so keeping the URLs of the tallies intact will do me and everyone else a great favor. I will edit a tutorial for how to easily do so in here for those of you who would like that once we get to that point.
Tell me what to do away!
