    Pretty much this, and I am against most of the above for that reason. I do have to say that I don't think moves which change your opponent's typing should be banned however, which is limited to Soak as far as I know [Forest Curse / Trick or Treat just add the typing, not change it, right?]

    Uh.. Mantine can't learn roost and bounce is still physical and only worth using if you're going for KoL's whole strategy, Charizard still has two Fire STABs and no flying and Furfrou now lacks a STAB altogether :x

    Kind of repeating everyone else here, but drop Flare blitz for something else as Charizard-Y is a substantially stronger special attacker than physical. Air slash will work great here, but you can also make an option out of Roost and Will-o-Wisp to aid with longevity to some extent. Both of them...

    I can say I don't believe Fire should be the focus, but flying. Even with no stealth rock weakening them, fire has a general lack of bulk outside of heatran [torkoal is somewhat bulky as well]. Flying gets both Zard Y and Talonflame, which apparently are the biggest concern of stealth rock and I...

    Stealth rock stays, fire is screwed. But suddenly fire is super overpowered if stealth rock leaves? More than that I'm just against the attitude of "No, this is final I don't care that three people have been for the idea one person has been arguably neutral"

    Unfortunately, Kecleon would be banned if you accepted the statement I gave above. Both of its abilities cause its type to change. I'll break down my concern for stealth rock into a few points. My concern for flying isn't as great because they have plentiful access to defog, enough said here...

    I've already expressed my concern for protean and megas, but I'm for a blanket ban as it's simpler to add and explain "Anything which will change your pokemon's typing outside of your designated mono-type is prohibited"

    I don't suppose a forum title is out of the question?

    Singles Showdown 2014 - Battle Brackets

    I'll take a pass at the prizes, since I do virtually no gameplay from within the actual game anymore... and last I heard, Shiny didn't own the game :x

    I vote for random typing as well, it keeps things far more interesting. I have two points of concern I feel worth discussion here as well - I'd like to suggest a ban of stealth rock for this tournament, since it takes typing directly into consideration for its damage and will heavily cripple...

    Singles Showdown 2014 - Battle Brackets

    I'm posting to state that I have received a PM from Ekans stating that he was available anytime, I asked him to grab me in chat and have been in chat 24/7 ever since [with minor hiccups in connection]. I've received no replies or notifications from him since.

    XY/ORAS Singles Eviolite Magmar

    I think that rather than balancing Magmar's defenses, going for full special bulk alongside power swapping the sharp special attack drop could work better in its favor. You have Will-o-Wisp to cut physical attacker power down, but I ultimately think switching away from a physical attacker would...
