    Pokémon Vortex Live Battle Tournament

    in Archives

    Posted

    Hello everyone! After much discussion, we here at Pokémon Vortex have decided to host a competitive battle tournament hosted on Pokémon Showdown which is a real-time battle simulator for Pokémon

    Anyone is welcome to participate, even if you have never been on the competitive battle scene. It takes nothing but a bit of time to enter so why not try your luck?

    So, onto the tournament itself - While this seems like a lengthy read, please do read it, it is very important towards the rules that must be followed in order to enter the tournament.

    In this very first tournament, we will be taking on a Spring based theme. Spring is known for it's rebirth of life. It's the time flowers begin to bloom, the bee's quickly buzz to pollinate flowers, and animals emerge from hibernation, back into the wilderness.

    For the Springtime Battle Tournament, your first job is to create your spring based team while following OU rules and our own limitations which are outlined below.

    If you are not familiar with Smogon's OU ruleset, please give them a quick read so you know what you're doing and where you stand on building a team.

    When creating your team on Showdown, for the type of battle, set it as OU.

    Here is a list of 'Uber' Pokémon which are banned from the tournament: Click

    Rules for entry:

    1. Pokémon types eligible to enter are: Normal, Fighting, Flying, Ground, Rock, Bug, Water, Grass, Fairy, Poison and Fire. A Pokemon MUST have these types. If for example a Pokemon as a type of Fighting and Psychic, it isn't allowed as Psychic isn't allowed even though Fighting is. A Pokemon that is Bug and Grass type would be allowed though. Or, for example, if you have a Pokemon that is just Normal typed, that is also allowed.
    2. Just in case a refresh is needed, these types are NOT allowed: Electric, Psychic, Dark, Steel, Ice, Ghost and Dragon.
    3. Exempt from the type rules above, the following Pokémon ARE allowed: Raichu, Plusle, Minun, Honchkrow, Celebi, Rotom-Cut,  Galvantula, Exeggutor and Dedenne - Which still fit the spring theme but break the type limitations.
    4. Hold items are not allowed except for berries and mega stones.
    5. The tournament will consist of one round elimination. Meaning, give it your all each time as it's make or break, win or lose. Who fights who will randomly be generated, so maybe you'll fight your enemy or maybe your best friend on here. When the round starts will be posted on here, so please check back often. Depending on how many people enter will decide on how long everyone has to finish their battle.
    6. Each round will span over a 48 hour cycle so please make yourself available when you have a battle to do. If you are not available within the 48 hours to do your battle, it will be taken as a loss on your part and the opponent will get a buy into the next round.

          7. Signups will close and battling begins on April 4th, 2016.

    If you have any further questions, feel free to PM @sportsandmusic69 or @Patrick or @Rob

    Change Pokemon to new Pokeball's.

    in Archives

    An idea for V4, give us the ability to change our Pokemon to a different Pokeball.

    Let's say I own a Shiny Charmander and it's in a Great Ball and I want to move it into an Ultra Ball. We got to a certain page to transfer it to a new ball of our choice as long as we have the ball to move it to. Could also add something when it cost, let's say $50,000 Pokedollar to make the transfer too.

    Great Ball Not Working Correctly

    in Report Bugs & Errors

    Posted

    The Great Ball thing is not a glitch. Lowering the HP of a Pokemon and using other balls besides Pokeball's only increases the chance of capture, it doesn't make it an auto capture.

    The items bug has already been reported and likely will be fixed with the release of V4, you free to use the items caused by it.

    slowness since the ads?

    in Ask Questions

    Some tips you could do to speed up your computer:

    Disable browser add-ons or extensions.

    Do an updated full system scan on your computer for virus/malware. (I use Microsoft Security Essentials/Windows Defender.)

    Free up disk space. (I check all the boxes and wait.)

    Update your browser, computer, java, etc. It'll really help.

    Uninstall any programs you don't need. Like if you played My Little Pony Friendship Matters 5 years ago, you might wanna ditch it. (I promise I don't like MLP.)

    Defragment your computer.

    Other than that, there's not much you can do. But do remember, the ads do help support the site, so they are important.

    warn

    Posted

    I'm sorry, but I do give a reason generally for warnings, etc. And I don't just issue them out randomly, if anything, I try to avoid them, but when people constantly break the rules, sometimes I have to do what I have to do. If you would like an admin to look into it, feel free to ask @Patrick @Chris_ or @Rob

    Also for reference that I do post what I warn about, here was the latest warning that I, myself, issued to you.

    Appearance Rates

    Posted

    From what I know normal Pokemon have the same appearance rates as a shiny, dark, etc Pokemon.

    Legendary, are around 1/1,000 steps, though I don't believe that's the exact number, Patrick has said he doesn't remember the exact numbers either.

    For example:
