Request your invitation for this beta competition now!
Battles go from February 21st to March 3rd!


2014 is upon us, as is a new generation in the games Pokémon X&Y!
And what does that mean?
A new tournament!

That competition is now here.
There are some new rules and clauses to how this particular tournament is run, so make sure to read the rules before leaving this thread.

So what are you waiting for, Pokémon Trainers?
Let's get ready to battle!

Man, is nobody battling in this tourney, or are we all just not done with our teams? I'm assuming the latter, but I managed to get the breeding of pretty much my whole team done today, so I'll be pretty much ready. Also, the link to the rules isn't taking me to the right page. Is this what the link should be?

Anyway, now for the real stuff, since nobody else has posted yet.

OT: Gustavo

Nicknames: None

Not sure how well this team will do overall, but Togekiss and Garchomp work amazingly together, so I'm hoping this works out as a decent team. Murkrow is my Tailwind support, since I'm a huge fan of Tailwind in Doubles. Would have used Whimsicott, but I wanted to try something new this time around.

Well, I missed out on the sign ups this time around apparently, but I still don't have a full team ready yet anyways (the downside of working) so I guess I just have to catch the next one. :(

If you had to request an invite, they are out. Should see the notice as soon as you log into GL

..... it is a glorious day indeed....

"After you are matched with an opponent, if you turn off your Nintendo 3DS system or disconnect in any way before the results of the match are sent to the server, you will receive a loss. Make sure you have a stable Internet connection when participating in Online Competitions."

it only took them how long?

I finally got my team decided.

OT: King Arceus
Gender: Male
Age Division: Masters
Location: USA -> Minnesota
Message: It's advertising so I won't put it.
Team: Mega Tyranitar, Garchomp, Machamp, Mega Gengar, Talonflame, Greninja
Nicknames: I didn't give them any.

Yes I know I have two megas listed, but some battles I'll want Gengar while others I'll need Tyranitar.

Quick question. I'm trying to download my Digital Player ID, but it's taking a long time to load. Am I supposed to wait until the competition begins or is there server strain?

Unless I'm mistaken, we're supposed to wait until the competition begins to get the Digital Player ID. I also spent a long while trying to download it with no luck.

I did mine over the weekend with no problem. Could be a time of day problem too

I got my Digital ID with no trouble. I did it when it was early morning hours for the US. It tends to be less active at that time so there is a higher success chance.

Thanks for the help. It turns out you're supposed to go to Battle Spot, not Live Competition. I'm signed up now, though.
