URPG Budget Tournament

Idea inspired by Fawkes

Is the economy getting you down? Don't have enough money to pimp out that new Volcarona you just kidnapped from its natural habitat in the National Park? Crying because your Magikarp is one TM from being a NUKEM? Well, we've go the cure for your fiscal woes...

Finally, you get a chance to spend someone else's money! You don't have to worry about spending because that money isn't even yours! This mysterious and rich philanthropist is allowing you to throw away his hard earned millions simply for his entertainment! By spending his money, you can buy entirely new Pokemon, not just at the Pokemart, but also from the story list without having to appeal to literary critics or that nasty kidnapping business! All you need to do in return is FIGHT THE OTHER COMPETITOR'S (Pokemon) TO THE DEATH!!! Sounds simple enough, right?

Now of course, at this point you must be thinking, "Well hey now, this sounds entirely too good to be true my good sir. What kind of madman would want to battle if they would receive nothing in return? In addition, do these Pokemon feel..." GOOD QUESTION MY GOOD MAN. We anticipated your horrible greed, so there IS a creamy nougat center for those who choose to participate in this competition! You can receive...

1st: Choice of 1 Complex rank or lower Pokemon as well as 50% of their leftover spending money.

2nd: Choice of 1 Hard rank or lower Pokemon as well as 50% of their leftover spending money.

3rd: Choice of 1 Medium rank or lower Pokemon as well as 40% of their leftover spending money.

4th: Choice of 1 Medium rank or lower Pokemon as well as 25% of their leftover spending money.

Now, it won't be just the most elite of the elite who will be tasting some kind of reward from this tournament. In addition, every participant will have a shot at taking home some of their spending money. The amount, however, will be completely dependent upon how much money they have leftover upon being knocked out of the tournament as well as which round they are knocked out during. HOW CAN YOU SAY NO TO FREE MONEY!?

Before you sneaky tricksters go thinking, "Well hey, I can clear a decent profit by just spending no money and then intentionally losing >=D." You might want to consider this: At the beginning each round, the percentage of money you can take with you increases AND you are given more spending money to continue to pimp out your Pokemon or hold onto, if you so choose.

Rules:
300k initial spending money
Minimum of 4 Pokemon purchased. For the final round, you will be required to have purchased 6 Pokemon total.
Upon the completion of a round of the tournament, all remaining competitors are awarded an additional 100k spending money.
When a competitor loses a battle(excluding the first round matchups) they will receive 5% of their leftover money, increasing by 5% each round. E.g. Second round = 5%, Third round = 10%, etc.
To purchase items and Pokemon, refer to the Ultra Mall.

4v4-6v6
BW Revo/DP Revo
Helds On(Can be turned off if agreed on by both battlers)

Okay, there have been several questions and I'll attempt to answer them here. The content of this post will also be added to the main threads for easy access.

1. Evolution does not require battles to be completed. If a Pokemon only evolves via battling, you may simply evolve it to the desired evolution. If a Pokemon needs an evolutionary item, a cable link, or a combination of the two, you must purchase any necessary items for evolution to take place.
*Note: Keep in mind that when buying moves for your Pokemon to use the highest evolution that you plan on using as your guide for buying. For example, if you are going to use Alakazam, use Alakazam's movelist in the Ultra Dex to pick your EMs, and not Kadabra or Abra's. Likewise, don't use a higher evolution's list to pick moves for a lower evolution, like using Porygon-Z's list for Porygon2.

2. The deadline for getting all of your purchases made for the tournament is 7 days from when the tournament was posted. 10:49 AM Friday January 27th, 2012.

3. No change will be made to the purchasing system. Excluding the final two rounds, in which you will PM your purchases to me, all purchases are made in the Ultra Mall thread.

4. Hidden Power types are picked by the battler, not rolled. Keep in mind that the Hidden Power type is not able to be changed over the course of the tournament.

5. Matchups will be made after the purchasing deadline.

Also, don't forget to keep up with your team, tournament money, and items in your Budget Tourney Stats. I'll have a thread up shortly.

If you have any other questions you can ask me via VM/PM/IM.

 

count me in.
