YCM Grand Pokémon Tournament - Round 4-1

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

 

Oh RNG, you really wanted to see the CC mods fight this time, didn't you?

(Do I need to explain this match and why it's relevant?)

[~British Soul~]

Milotic definitely looks majestic and all, but (and the decision wasn't easy) I decided to go with Latias because I liked more more than Milotic.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

* votes for Signer Dragon *

 

Although I like Milotic for its looks and battle capacities (and I guess half of it is probably related to my relationship with Zextra; hence naming a 3 IV one after him), my heart's with Latias all the way.

 

Should be pretty obvious by now that she's getting my vote.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

I like Latias much more than Milotic. While I think Milotic is a great Pokemon never really thought anything special of it.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I haven't really found anything really unique about it, either.

But as a note guys, vote for the Pokémon; NOT for the member.

 

(This is not the YCM Member Brawl, even if RNG decided to make it like that right now)

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

I will say one thing about Milotic, I love that tail, it's so pretty. But that's it.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, Milotic's tail is pretty (and it makes for a good Contest Poke, even if you have to work your tail off to evolve it).

Or you can just ask a friend to help you trade evo.

 

Otherwise, Gyarados is the better one for battling (though Milotic is easier to train to level 100 though)

 

 

Assuming Wallace will be using one as his ace again, when you go to fight him in ORAS.

[Yemachu]

As if finding an Feebas in the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald was not hard enough, you also had to feed it enough 'good' blue poke-blocks to evolve. A little bit too much effort required to obtain a pokemon for my taste (although I caught 1 that way...). While playing hide-and-seek with Latias is also a bit annoying, it was easier to do and you immediatly had a decently strong pokemon. So I voted for the elusive Latias.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I remember having to chase Latias around in HeartGold/Sapphire (on emulator); that was a real pain to do. But she has enough power and speed to fight right out of the box, so that's one reason I love my Eon (it's certainly not the main one).

 

As for her wanting to join you in Alpha Sapphire, I suppose I'm thrilled about it [problem is that like most legendaries, (soft) resetting will be needed to get a good nature/IVs for it); even if I got about 1/3 of a box filled with ones from White 2 imports (going for 6th one in W2 now; though nowhere near Dreamyard at this point).

 

 

I just hope they keep the trade evo method for Milotic; though it'll depend on whether or not Prism Scales will be easy to get in ORAS.

[Zextra]

Quite possibly the worst matchup for Milotic; it had a good run, though, so I'm satisfied :p

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, RNG decided to be a bitch and pair you against me.

Not literally but the Pokes that represent us. (Would've been Espeon, had Eevee not pulled a fast one)

 

Would've been funny if Druddigon made it through and it became a 3-way between us; except .Saber retired, so wouldn't really be a CC mod battle in Pokemon form.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

In a 10-6 lead, Latias manages to Limit Over Accel Synchro Summon her ace, Shooting Quasar Dragon, and put holes into the aquatic serpent, eliminating it from the tournament.

 

Or in other words, in the battle between Sakura v Zextra in who inherits control over CC, Sakura wins.

 

 

Disclaimer: Zex is NOT losing his job as a CC mod because his spirit Poke lost in this round (despite the vibes this match gave off); he's doing a fine job keeping CC in check [with new help], even with balancing his college work with mod duties here.
