  1. Battle Mechanics Research

    Would the following scenario allow for two Megamon in a party? I activate M-Lucario. Opponent activates M-Charizard. I switch in a Ditto with Imposter. Do I now have a M-Lucario, with a M-Charizard on the field?

  3. The Monsters We Crave: Pokemon and Monster Theory

    Great news! I've applied. I look forward to the process!
  4. The Monsters We Crave: Pokemon and Monster Theory

    Thanks for the support. The draft as written is eleven double-spaced pages. I imagine I could trim that down quite a bit, revised by the end of the weekend unless we've got an impending deadline. The piece can certainly be reproduced.
  5. The Monsters We Crave: Pokemon and Monster Theory

    Abstract: In the monster-filled world of Pokemon, there was an absence. Players considered the characters childish, and sought to live out a more sinister fantasy. The game's designers paid attention to these cues, and introduced the Dark/Ghost-type hybrid in the game's second generation. There...

    I managed to place at #103, a ranking with which I'm very pleased. A lot of study went into the Ubers and Rotation metagames, as I was 100% unfamiliar but in the end - a satisfactory outcome. I do hope that we get a resolution to this DCing problem. I would have been heartbroken had I not...

    Had a great time in this one. Ended at 1706 with 32 battles. I really wish that I had taken more time to raise the score, but maybe next time. I used a team of ExtremeKiller Arceus, Ho-oh, Giratina, Heracross, Zekrom, and Rayquaza. Would definitely replace Heracross in the future - he was...

    As a 28yo guy, it's pretty hard without being seen as a huge creeper. Even the local comic shops that host weekly TCG tournaments treat me like a weirdo when I e-mail them about it.. Little do they know I'm a totally normal dude working in financial services who just happens to love Pokemon haha...

    Anyone else think it is close to pointless running a choice item? I don't anticipate much if any switching to reset the item, and being locked into a disadvantageous move could spell disaster for your team. Thoughts on this? Regarding Substitute. I love being able to set up a Sub and...
  10. VGC Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - Mark II

    I want to use an Abomasnow that knows Giga Drain in the Fall Regionals. This is a TM in Gen IV, and a Move Tutor move in BW2. Will my Abomasnow be found ineligible if I: RNG in BW > Transfer to BW2 > Move Tutor > Transfer to BW > Compete in Tournament Will I instead need to RNG in Gen IV...

    Deck Knight Deciding Factor: Gravity.
  13. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 12 - Movepool Submissions

    I took this into consideration, changing this and a few other things. Added Seed Bomb as an egg move, replaces Dream Eater with Moonlight, changed Level 1 Move: Absorb to Ingrain. Made a couple other small changes.
  14. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 12 - Movepool Submissions

    I have updated my movepool submission. Nothing has really changed, just where I listed the move, since that did violate your terms. In my defense, I was thinking of it as similar to the Pichu you mentioned - fully aware of the level-up stipulation - just listed it in the wrong place. Sorry about...
