Скачать или смотреть A Pokémon Gen 3 Orre Doubles tournament I hosted over at Sweden, ESA 2025 - Round Robin - 10 sets.

Over at European Speedrunner Assembly 2025, I organised and hosted a retro Pokémon Gen 3 doubles tournament.
This format is known as the Orre Colosseum where it follows the same in-game rules from Colosseum/XD.

Nearly every Pokémon is legal except the usual VGC restricteds such as:

Mewtwo,
Ho-oh,
Lugia,
Kyogre,
Groudon and
Rayquaza.

Mythicals are also banned including:
Mew,
Celebi,
Jirachi,
Deoxys.

Plus a few extra rulings including:
Latias/Latios cannot use Soul Dew,
Wobbuffet/Wynaut cannot use Leftovers due to a endless game situation in a mirror match.


The tournament had 5 players which may not sound like much but it was perfect for a round robin for 2 reasons.

1) 10 sets of battles. All best of 3, so we are talking 20-30 battles here.
2) The very best and very worst Pokémon trainers get to play the same amount of games.

Not everything went smoothly, only 2 of the matches had late game disconnects and I wanted to give out a point to either 1 or both players to speed up the tournament process. The actual tournament itself lasted 5 and a half hours which included a 30 minute break for players to get something to eat and strech their legs.

There are 2 versions of this tournament video.
This is the super cut version that cuts down the command menu phase and has voice clips from Pokémon Battle Revolution along with YTP sentence mixing to add "life" to the video.

You can watch the livestream version here (warning the livestream version has some strong language from my friends for "being good friends with me" vibe):

Between June 28th to July 5th, I was at an event in Sweden known as European Speedrunner Assembly Summer 2025, raising money towards Alzheimerfonden (Swedish Alzhimer's Foundation) where they raised over $55,000 towards the charity.
