Yeah, VGC's even faster. To be honest, though, I'm just not into Pokemon that much anymore. I know I'll come back later, but I think a few months downtime will do me good. The game's just became rather stale. Maybe it's due to a lack of online play time, but seeing the 4 moveslots just doesn't fill me with as much excitement as it used to.

Same here. im not a psyched as i used to be competative wise. tho some tiers are still fun. Just took a look at balanced hackmons an it seems fun too C: an also VGC is faster than doubles. No sleep clause. item clause. pokemon clause. and only 4 pokemon per game chosen out of 6.

Doubles...wow that's a fast metagame. I remember when I first experienced Double Battles, everything seemed to just...die.... I mean, in Singles I'm used to seeing pokemon in the red who manage to survive a few turns. Doubles, I don't even recall a red health pokemon.

Can't say I still have the same pokemon interest as I used to, though. Been holding off finishing Black 2's story for too long (though it doesn't help that I'm trying to get through with rather shoddy pokemon, like a Marill without Huge Power...). Just need to find the time to get into the pokemon spirit again.

xD you should try VGC then C: its practicly OU doubles without the legends. or Plain-ishness

Mmm. I'm stuck in that unfortunate section where my favourite pokemon are all OU, but I don't wanna play OU much anymore. Kinda lost hope when Game Freak made Mienshao's defenses about as useful as a Ninetales without Drought. That said, I get more fun beating the Battle Subway. That thing is just addictive...though being rather horrible at pokemon, Ingo's Crustle...argh...

Ikr. im more of a VGC, NU UU guy myself now C: anythin that aint plain an boring.

Alright, thanks. It has been a long time. I don't frequent Smogon much anymore. I dunno, never really got the hang of BW's metagame. Too much Politoed if you ask me!

Long time C: how ya been?

Um...hey...?

Hey C:
