http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-372406671 This battle ended on turn 2, but under the same logic as Bloom winning her 7th battle I feel this should count as a win. I had KOd his Mega and set up my rocks with my suicide lead and with no fairy on his side my DD mence had a very good chance of sweeping after a DD.

@[member="Reborn"] edit your first post (with a spoiler included) with replays , your 5 wins wont count if they arent posted correctly.

 

All done.

What the actual f , is this mamoswine.

 

The battle we had wasn't on the ladder. He sent me a battle request and tbh I had no idea that he was counting it in this event, I know I wouldn't have included it in my replays. If the battles don't have to be on the ladder I could just private battle my friends over and over with them making new alts every time.

 

I didnt count it in m replays , thats why i posted it outside of them.

 

Noctis has counted it.

 

It's fine, I just wanted that to be cleared up.

Also, I really don't understand why the replay you turned down wasn't accepted while Bloom's 6th battle was. They were both 2 turns long (if you count the 1st turn protect as a turn that mattered then I think that's a bit ridiculous, if anything that turn should have allowed her opponent to scout for which move she is going to lock herself in to and switch to one of their plethora of resists), in which time I had set up hazards breaking any potential sashes, eliminated their mega and killed myself, giving me the chance to bring in one of 5 my set up mons to put in work. The fact that my opponent didn't have any form of priority, salamence DDs on literally any of his mons (except maybe celebi since that lives a +1 Outrage and t waves twice, or a specs porygon-z which KOs me, but I had lucario to switch in to a Tri-attack to scout for an item/check the damage and celebi isn't too much of a threat to the rest of the team). Bloom's battle was seemingly still fairly open to interpretation, with no one Pokémon having no check/counter on the opponents team and no hazards being set. The opponent also had the knowledge of Darmanitan's set, while in my game no knowledge of the sets of the rest of my team was given.

I see even less reason for Bloom's 9th battle being accepted if my battle isn't being accepted. Practically nothing happened in this game. Cresselia can still function how it would have otherwise, spreading paralysis once Espeon was dealt with and wittling at Pokémon (like Espeon) that don't have recovery. I don't know Bloom's spreads, but from the damage that darmanitan's rock slide was doing you can tell that her opponent is running a very bulky Cress (most likely 252 252 in HP and Def), meaning Cress would have been outsped by Bloom's entire team (assuming Gyarados was running any speed at all), so the only thing that the para would have done is the have the slight chance for full paralysis, which for a mon as bulky as Cress isn't a big deal. The fact that the cress was para'd also means that it can no longer be toxic'd or burned, making dealing with it more of an issue. The battle was just as long as mine, which was the reason mine was turned down, and again Bloom gave away the knowledge that she was scarfed Darm as opposed to LO or band due to the Rock Slide damage on Cress.

Sorry if it seems like I'm being desperate for wins or whatever, I just don't like double standards.

 

I did read through that section of the OP, along with the rest of the OP multiple times and I believe I acknowledged that the replay in question in my original post, but the sentence showing this was lost after some reformatting. I understand why this rule is in place, and honestly I would say that it needs to kept in any future events. However, in terms of deciding whether or not a battle was worthy of a victory, the number of turns should not even be in question, but the advantage that one was over another. Just through the nature of hyper offense, you can gain (or lose) momentum much faster than you would using a more balanced team, meaning it would more than likely take over 5 turns to get myself in to the situation I was in using a more balanced team than it did using a suicide lead.

If you look at the replays in simple terms, in the replay of mine that was rejected I had both set up rocks and eliminated their mega at the cost of my suicide lead (which for a HO team simply puts me in a better situation) in 2 turns, while in the 1st replay of Bloom's that I mentioned she had only eliminated her opponent's mega, at the cost of breaking Galvantula's sash, meaning it is good for just one more hit/setting up sticky web once at most, which could be removed later, whilst also giving away her Darmanitan set which may have been significant in the long term in the same number of turns as my replay (2+1 dud turn from a Rock slide in to protect). I just don't see how one can think that Bloom's situation vs her opponent was more advantageous than mine against my own. If looking at team matchup, my opponent had literally zero salamence switch ins, and anything that prevented it from setting up I had a hard counter to, while at least from where I'm sitting I don't really see any stand out advantages from either side. Can you please explain how my situation was less advantageous than Bloom's? Because from what I see I had accomplished more in those 2 turns, and what I had accomplished is more valuable in establishing a win condition.

And in the case of the second battle, there really isn't much of a significant advantage for Bloom her at all. The difference between turn 2 and turn 0 is that Cress is at 95% and Paralyzed, while Espeon is in on Cresselia. I've already stated why the Para wouldn't have been too significant, bar the full para chance which may or may not have been significant, there's no way of knowing, and her opponent most likely would have appreciated any damage on Espeon, making it less capable of switching in to prevent hazards.

I understand that looking at so many replays is difficult, but it really does seem like you are judging my replay and Bloom's replays to different standards.

In any future events, I'd be happy to help look over any replays (I know this would mean that I can't take place).

 

Hello there , i noticed you were taking about something and im gooing to intefere even if the issue has been resolved by includig my self with a very somewhat-relatable comment

Regarding 5 turns or less , i dont know the reason behind (5) turns , because while it is true 5 is appropriate because there are 6 Pokémon , which without 6 turns is a forfiet ing eneral , but you also have to overlook ALL forfeits if thats the case , because as Reborn said in Blooms 9th battle , creselia is a wall , and having a full tema on a full team has no predictions what so ever , Imean to have you seen the top ranked uber player? he uses PU! Mons , If you looked at it as a 1 turn FF , youd think ubers would win , but NO! , because ach Pokémon adn startegy put into play can flip the entire game around for each sides favour , i only see a true FF when on one side theres a Pokémon with the power to destroy the remaing (3) or less , for example , a forced forfiet such as a double DD mence agnist a team with no ice shard users is a winning strike , but youd be wrong. , because what if say , the user has a clefable? a x1.5 mence cannot ohko a clefable with earthquake! , and clefable can ohko mence with moonblast(saying that it isnt a odd offensive build) so the mence would drop! , but youd be Wrong Because what if that salamence had Iron tail , but didnt yet show it in the game? an iron tail would ohko the clefable and beat the game! , But youd be wrong. because what if the mences misses? to you that may seem as "pure luck" but using a move with less than a 100% accuracy , you agree to the terms that it one day WILL miss , costing a range of a Pokémon to an entire game , Pokémon has a little bit of strategy in it , and with any strategy game , there is no "predictable" outcome , in Pokémon we created a way to beat 100s with level 1s! , something that if you see yourself without knowing how , seemed very illogical , which is why in future events , i might suggest having atleast 2 people decide a match , because its very easy for one person to mis-decide something because simply thats how he looks at it , but if 2 people see it the same way , its likley that thats how it might pan out , because if one person sees something while the other sees another , youd rethink and find a resolve to prove that this would truly happen , this would clarifiy your judgment and ease the players doubt , which would hopefully prevent these situations from ever happening again.


side note: @[member="Reborn"] just pulled out his battle replay memo or something , because 45 wins.

this isnt what i singued up for.

but today is thecurrent results announcment and tommorow is the end(?) , glhf Endrew , reborn and everyone else!

Proof: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-379788942

Had i forfieted....

 

So I had intended to play more of a different game tommorow, but looks like I may end up playing Pokémon Showdown for a few hours instead. I'll probably limit myself to 2-3 hours though. I'm excited to see the next theme though.

 

So since this is monthly, will there be a new theme and tier for the month of June??

 

Thats what we presume , but it seems This mounths event has come to a close , now its up to noctis to decide who wins.
