Pokemon 2014

I was curious on what rule sets have been practiced in past years. I just got Pokemon X and a 3DS XL  with some birthday money and would kind of like to participate in the next Kumoricon pokemon tourney. I don't want to build a team based on the official rules for sanctioned events and then find out we're expected to play by smogon rules and vice versa.

Hopefully I won't forget my head piece to my darkrai cosplay this time.

I'm also wondering too, I'm happy with an open tournament, or just open play.

My biggest hope is that we don't have to deal with the same organizers as last year, I don't know what they were on but they need to get off it and mellow out.

I am 95% sure it's been the official VGC rules.

Thank you.

I never bothered with pokemon in past years, but I recently got into it. Considering I don't have a 3DS nor the patience and tenacity to EV train my own team in the actual game, I've just been using smogon's computer simulator (pokemon showdown). I don't suppose they'll use that for any tournaments/competitions?

I doubt it since that would require computers, which are usually over populated as it is and in a completely different area than where they normally hold the pokemon tourneys, plus this generation it is very easy to EV train and also pretty easy to IV breed.
