Hi all!  If you remember last week, I'm holding an impromptu, just-for-fun "hatchmons" tournament on Pokemon Showdown.  If you would like to sign up, please reply under this link.  I'm going to hold battle windows throughout December, so you can come on late if you want. =-) Below is the current list of participants and completed battles:

And as a reminder of the rules for our "hatchmons" metagame:

Team rules:
*You may only have Pokemon that can be hatched from an egg through regular breeding - legendaries and evolved Pokemon are not allowed. (Since Snorlax, Roselia, etc. have baby forms despite being technically hatchable, they are considered "evolved" for this tournament.)
***So that the tournament does not get centralized around non-evolving Pokemon, there will be a limit of two non-evolving Pokemon per team (this rule may change -up or down - if needed to balance things out).
*All Pokemon will be level 1 with freshly hatched stats - i.e. you are not allowed "training", experience points or EV-training.
*Teaching moves, however, is allowed (teaching =/= training).  Clearly start moves and eggs moves are legal; since MOST Pokemon can also know any TM or any level-up move assuming both parents know that move, we will allow TMs and level-up moves to be allowed as well.
*Any IV spread and any released ability are allowed.  Hold items, including Mega Stones, are not allowed.
*You may change your team freely between battles as long as it adheres to these rules.

Battle rules:
*We will use Smogon's new "AG" tier for this tournament - i.e. no sleep clause, no ban on SwagPlay, etc.
*The tournament style will be a free-for-all - I just want this to be "for fun", no prizes involved, so having a set structure (with potential no-shows) doesn't sound good.
*The main battles windows will be Saturdays, 9am-12pm PST/6pm-9pm CET, for the rest of December (and the first Saturday of January if enough people join).  It's perfectly acceptable to arrange battles with other participants outside these windows, but everyone who signs up should agree to be on Pokemon Showdown in the "Other Metas" chat room for at least one hour during each of these windows.
*You may re-battle the same opponent multiple times if both of you each have different teams (by at least three 'mons) each time.  (I want people to have fun with this metagame!)
*When you finish a battle, please send me the replay!  This is so I can make sure everyone's following the team rules, and also so I can potentially share some of the most entertaining of these battles with the group once the tournament is over. =-)
