The Pokémon Black and White Battle Frontier at Zenkaikon

[Minibombmon]

Hello everyone, I would like to announce The Pokémon Black and White Battle Frontier at Zenkaikon.



During Zenkaikon, me and 4 other Frontier Brains with special pins will be roaming around Zenkaikon and taking challenges while we are available for anyone who wishes to challenge us in a battle with their Pokemon Black or Pokemon White video game. In each of these challenges there will be special rules that you must abide by along with normal rules that battle have. If you are fortunate enough to defeat a Frontier Brain, you will be awarded with their respective Frontier Symbol. If you collect all five Frontier Symbols you will gain entry to the free tournament that will take place on Saturday of Zenkaikon. Good luck and we are hoping to see a lot of challengers!

This is the forum where we will periodically reveal the different Frontier Brains along with tell you the basic rules and the special rules for each Frontier Brain.

Times and places for events:

The full event will take place during the entire convention is different areas, all you need to do is look for the Frontier Brain's special pin designating who they are.

There will be a meet-up on Friday at 6PM-7:30PM in the Board Game Room for you to challenge any Frontier Brains you couldn't find.

There will also be a tournament for everyone who has collected all five frontier symbols on Saturday at 2PM and that will also be in the Board Game Room.

These will be the basic rules that each Frontier Brain uses, unless noted otherwise:

-LV 50 FLAT BATTLE (using the Pokémon Black/White Infrared)
-No unreleased Pokemon, Items, or Abilities
-No use of Wonder Launcher
-Sleep Clause- You cannot put two of your opponent's Pokemon to sleep at the same time. (Rest not applicable)
-Evasion Clause- No moves that increase evasion such as Double Team and Minimize may be used. Things like Sand-Attack and Sand Veil are still legal.
-Species Clause- No two of the same Pokemon may be used on one team.
-One Hit KO Clause- One hit ko moves such as Horn Drill or Sheer Cold are not to be used.
-Item Clause- No two Pokémon can hold the same item.
-Selfdestruct Clause- The moves Selfdestruct, Explosion, Perish Song, Destiny Bond, or any other such move may not be used if both players only have 1 remaining Pokemon. If a player uses one of those moves under this condition, they automatically lose.
-Drizzle Swim Clause- The combination of the abilities Drizzle and Swift Swim are not allowed on the same team.
-Single Battle- The Battle will be using the Single Battle option.
-Uber Clause- No Uber Pokemon are allowed. These Pokemon include:

-Mewtwo
-Ho-oh
-Lugia
-Kyogre
-Blaziken
-Groudon
-Rayquaza
-Deoxys (Deoxys, Deoxys-S and Deoxys-A)
-Garchomp
-Dialga
-Palkia
-Giratina (both forms)
-Shaymin (sky form)
-Darkrai
-Arceus
-Manaphy
-Excadrill
-Thunderous
-Zekrom
-Reshiram

Also, I wanted to address hacking. We look at hacking pokemon as a lot of events/tournaments do; don't ask, don't tell. What that means is, if you use legal hacks (hacks that make a pokemon's stats within their allowed parameters) then there will be no issue. However, if you are expected using an illegally hacked pokemon, via stats being unnaturally high, having attacks/abilities the pokemon doesn't normally carry, having abilities/items that are not yet released by Gamefreak, then you will be asked to show your pokemon to the Frontier brain and if you do not comply or are caught using illegal pokemon you will be disqualified from the event and all of your frontier symbols will be taken. Basically, don't hack. =D

Any breaking of these rules will mean instant disqualification unless you can change it before your match starts.

Before the battle begins the brain will ask you questions and allow you to get "special" access to restricted ruling or choose his team from 1 of 3 choices the rulings the challenger can bypass are Set battle ruling and the Wonder Launcher. Doing this however and resulting in a wrong answer will result in giving the brain privilege of the ruling you were going to free yourself from. During the battle pop quizes will occur were if you answer correctly you can reveal Pokemon of the brain's team, Items on the Pokemon, or even the move set on the Pokemon.

Re: Swift Dance

I've heard of the ban on Drizzle and Swift Swim, but why the ban on Rain Dance and Swift Swim?

Thanks for catching that, I completely wasn't thinking when I typed that, you're right, it's Drizzle Swim.

Updated the rules post with our opinion and rules about hacking your pokemon, please review.

[Ironkau]

Quick question, does flat battle mean you can only use 3 Pokemon or will we be able to use all 6?
