Yes indeed, that 4x type advantage upset was rather shocking. Winless Charmander knocking off #1 Scizor was quite the curveball to the stat sheet.

As for including votes for and against, I suppose I can do that if you wish and are just curious to know, but I have not so far because in this format the actual scores for this round are inconsequential; destroying all of your opponents sets you up no better than squeaking by in every match. Except, of course, when the powerhouse faces off against the squeaker. There are other tiebreaker criteria used instead.

Thrilled that both TWEWY and EBA made the cut, although it's too bad 999 had to drop off in order to make it happen. AAI was an unfortunate but expected loss.

it means that someone came to a conclusion to prove a premise that presupposes the premise, a logical folly.

Also, could you please give me an example here? Because no matter how hard I try I can't think of how this would work.


It's essentially the same as circular reasoning. You assume something to be true in order to prove what you're talking about without ever proving the first thing true.

Excellent results, really. I think I would've preferred DPP to move on, but I can live with HG/SS. I'm just amazed that Meteos made the cut! As was said previously, I love that game, but I didn't think it'd have the popularity to make the cut.

Today's results, however, I don't see as having much of a chance to be so good.

Oh, sorry, yes, ties are just going to be left as ties again, at least until the final day or two. And I also apologize for the weird start times, but I figured that it would be better than not having a topic at all on the day that I did not get back in enough time to start it at the usual time. But my hope is that I can just continue to start them slightly later each day to wean us back toward the usual start time without having to skip a half day of matches all at once.

That said, I'm pretty amazed at the wins by Squirtle and Zapdos. Zapdos just hasn't looked as strong as I would've expected this contest (although he did still make the Top 25, so I guess it's hard to argue with that), and Mew has been pretty great. Squirtle, on the other hand, has performed better than his record last round seemed to indicate, but I'm still shocked that he took down Mewtwo, who seemed to be flaring in popularity and was sitting atop the rankings coming into Day 4.

I honestly think a tie is a pretty fitting result for Typhlosion and Tyranitar. I honestly think they're both pretty equally amazing, though I might give the slight edge to T-Tar.
