I would myself, this whole thing seems like an interesting idea.Okay so a couple people have suggested this to me and a few more have responded positively so I'm gonna throw out a really ambitious question here:
If there were a Tier Shift Metagame Tournament, would you enter it?
I might just try and run one if there's enough interest.
Me too! I found a whole lot of interestingly strong Pokemon in RU and NU:I would myself, this whole thing seems like an interesting idea.
That sounds like it would make it a whole lot more fair in some senses; however, some NU and RU Pokemon can make it up there with some Ubers;Well, is adjusting the base stats of certain Ubers differently than others an option that's on the table? If so, I can work on it. It shouldn't be too hard, really.
I doubt it would be complicated at all to understand or implement on the server. You could just link to a pastebin that would list these types of changes:I think it would probably add unnecessary complications.
I think that some of those Ubers are really going to be downgraded when it comes to stats, and when it comes to usage. Arceus for one, and Kyogre for another (although its rain capabilities are really going to hit hard, even WITH the downgrading). I was also wondering if BL Pokemon are getting boosts now?I love the idea of normalizing to Ubers instead. I can see Sawk and Throh becoming ultimate powerhouses at BST 585.
Sawk: 95/95/95 defenses aren't horrific, but 145 attack and 105 speed will leave many foes begging for mercy that shall not come.
Throh: 140/105/105 defenses are amazing, plus they're backed up by 120 attack. Still slow, though. With Circle Throw, this guy could become the premier shuffler/phazer of the metagame.
On that note, Hariyama looks swell.
Hariyama: 159/75/75 defenses are stellar, and 135 attack will leave holes everywhere.
But it probably makes more sense to tailor to particular Ubers 'mons. Kyogre is still going to crush everything without a major hit. (Though -30 to all stats is probably a bit much.)
