Sorry, another question (sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I'm following the rules when building a team):
The multiple generation evolutions work both ways, right? Like for newer generation evolutions but also older generation evolutions?

Ex: Electabuzz on a Gen II team?

It's a good question, but I think it's better to do that just for evolutions. Babies won't count, because the main Pokémon was introduced in another gen and you'll never use the baby. The idea is allowing 1st gen people to use Electivire because it would be unfair to force them to stick with Electabuzz.

Aww, that sucks. I had a semi-vaible team going off of the older evolutions... :(

How are Legendaries going to be worked into this? I mean sure Gen III users can't run with Groudon/Kyogre because they're Uber and not in Smogon OU format, but things like Terrakion and Celebi are OU, and things like the Regis are NU - will they be allowed? I'm curious since I have access to the 3 Legendary birds here, but can I use them?

Considering that we're playing by Smogon OU rules there should be no reason that we wouldn't be able to use non-uber legendaries.

Why would Legendaries be excluded? Gen 3 still has access to the Lati twins which are both OU.

Fair enough, that's cool. I've finished my team and I must say it looks good to me. I'm hoping to win with this team and I have a definite chance to do so. I didn't use any Legendaries though, or even anything from another generation (like Magmortar for example) which I'm quite impressed with.

Contacted Romeo, set up a battle for Saturday due to my schedule.

Also, if I'm doing my math correctly, it's 145 FP for 1st place, 110 for 2nd and 90 for 3rd. That's including the 15 FP for winning the battle. Is that correct?

If I can still sign up I'd like to take part. I'll be using a Gen 2 team.

It's nothing personal, but right now we're exactly 8 players and adding you now would disrupt the whole matchup system... sorry but maybe for the next one :X

And obviously this is not the Round of 16 but the Top 8 aka Quarter-Finals. As for the points Lynx, first gets 100 + 45 for 3 wins, 2nd gets 80 + 30 for 2 wins and 3rd gets 50 + 30 for 2 wins (including the 3rd place match). So in summary:

- 1st: 145 FP + a Pokémon from the Bank.
- 2nd: 110 FP
- 3rd: 80 FP

I've contacted my opponent, awaiting a response now. Although I think I might make some more changes, since there're a couple of team members I think need to be changed.
