b) 200kg allowance for walkers (Walking  multibots must obey this 1000kg rule)
c) Must bear a GOOD resemblance to a  Pokémon (See the Paras/Dugtrio battle).
d) NO SNS/SS/FBS – sorry, these will  be  far too battle effective.
e) Realistic rules apply
f) No glitches/outside modifications  allowed, apart from those intended for realism.
g) Multibots allowed to maximum of 2  (may NOT be different Pokemon unless very well connected – good examples  of   Pokemon
Multibots would be Exeggcute,  Plusle/Minun and  Nidoran(M)/Nidoran(F). THEY MAY BE THE SAME POKEMON, as  long as the joint 
weight DOES NOT exceed the either 800kg  or 1000kg weight limit.)

2) COMPONENTS
a) 123’s mini hovercraft may be  used  for bird/flying Pokemon.
b) No cheatbot2/custom components other  than reskins
c) Reskinned components are  allowed,  as long as you make them as a new style/component and don’t  overwrite any DSL
components.  Stats will be checked  for changes, changes = ban.

3) MATCHES
a) The arena will be a reskinned  Replica Wars Arena
b) 3 minute match time, with instant  elimination.
c) 1 Havok restart, if I deem the  Havok  to have affected the battle significantly.

4) SIGNUP SPECIFICS
a) Up to 3 Pokemon can be submitted,  so  you have a choice for the gym/league battles. If a choice is not  submitted, I will pick it at
random.
EDIT: All 3 Pokemon are now entered as individual entries, rather than you having a choice between which is used. This rule change was approved by JoeBlo on the 17th October.
b) ALL ROBOTS WILL BE CHECKED BY  ME,  because at the end of the day, this tournament is FUN, not for  battle-effective  destroying
machines. I prefer to think of it as  artbot-with-weapons.

d) Any denied Pokemon have 1 chance to  be made acceptable, or that specific robot will be banned.
e) SIGNUPS CLOSE AT 16:00 UTC ON WEDS 19TH OCTOBER

IIIIIIIN

I know I'll lose first round but I might as well give it a chance

Oh BTW I lost the skins so you're gonna have to make them yourself, but it aint' too hard, just a slight level change in Paint.NET

[cephalopod]

I did say, if you're reskinning stuff, that's your responsibility, you'll have to make the components and send them. You still have almost 3 weeks anyway.

[cephalopod]

16 days to go, not one bot received. I hope it's because you're all busy making some lovely stuff. :P

Remember, every bot entered gets into PokAImon too! :D
(And winner might get some major credit in the game or something cool like that, I don't know)

[Conraaa]

Well, fudge. I knew I forgot something. I'll skin crustle and get it to you asap.
Goodness knows what my 2 other pokemon would be though.

[Badnik96]

I'll make a Pawniard... eventually

[Jack Daniels]

Started working on one today... but got distracted :P 

Gonna keep at it though.

[Sage]

So... I appreciate how this is "for fun" and all but if you discriminate against combat effective robots all matches will be WBP or counted out...

Inb4 urjak builds a hitmontop shell spinner and sweeps the tournament

They can be effective to a degree (see Dugtrio) but if there's something that's just gonna sweep everything (as Kill suggested), I'm not cool with that.

[Naryar]

Inb4 urjak builds a hitmontop shell spinner and sweeps the tournament

YOU FOOL ! Don't give him ideas !

I don't think Urjak plays or even played pokemon anyways. It's not his generation :P

Also, my Gyarados idea is fleshing out. I'm probably going to make it's tail a complex flail with large blue skinned drums for the snakelike body, linked by 45 degree flails (let's hope AGOD doesn't rears his ugly head)  and 3 Killalot drills for the tail itself.

Probably will use four lightning teeth for it's mouth for Tackle attacks, with a flamethrower inside (Dragon Rage). I am also wondering if I should make him use Bite with a very short vertical hammer.

I am also going to try and put taunts for different actions of my bot. "GYARADOS used BITE !" (hammer fires) "GYARADOS used FLAIL !" (starts to sit-and-spin and whack with it's tail), Tackle (simple ram), and Dragon Rage (flamethrower). So my pokémon actually has 4 legal attacks.

Also I wonder if Craaig will let me use the Darkrat scything blades in NAR AI (the S-shaped ones) for Gyarados's barbels. Of course, they will be modified so they don't do any damage.

It would also be awesome if we can make that tourney looking more like a pokémon battle. Examples would be pokémon battle music playing in the arena, messages "Critical hit ! TAUROS fainted !" (respectively when some bot gets his control board damaged and destroyed), the annoying little ding-ding when a bot is critically low on HP, Pokémon "hit" sounds being used rather than the stock RA2 ones.

I realize that's a lot of work though, but it would just make the tourney more awesome. For me, I would be willing to wait more or even lend a hand to Craaig to do this.

The AI is going to be a bitch but I think I can pull it out.

[cephalopod]

I can manage the music and ding-ding definitely (in Movie Maker, I imagine), who knows about the other bits though. The hits could probably be replaced quite easily, but the messages, I don't know.

And yes, I'll let you use those as long as they're all modified. I love the effort you're putting into this, thank you :D makes it all worth it.

[Naryar]

Well crap... Gyarados's serpentine, slithering body and just LENGTH is going to be much harder than I thought to replicate precisely and at scale. As I want something really good looking, I think I have no choice but to use BFE and moar custom components and make it a bit like the DSL replicas.

I will keep it's damage potential to a reasonable level though, and will strive to make it the coolest looking and most faithful pokemon replica of all !

[cephalopod]

Sounds awesome (:

13 DAYS TO GO, ALL!

[Badnik96]

gah no time

over the weekend I'll make something like Bisharp or something

[cephalopod]

10 days remain, still no entries o:

[FOTEPX]

No Entries?

XD

I'll enter this and hope to dear god nobody else enters making me winner by default...

[Badnik96]

if no one enters this I will frickin lol

tomorrow, maybe...

[Thyrus]

i`d love to enter this one but I havn`t got the time, and as you might know my lap top needs to be repaired.
