I remember there being some talk about removing Pokemon from the suspect table after they'd been voted OU so many times, but... :evan: I wonder what shift in the metagame arguably made it suddenly uber.

Understanding the definition of what BL is should make it clear why it's not a playable tier. There's also the practical issue of there hardly being any mons there. I mean, if we made BL a tier, it would just be UU plus all the things we banned from UU for being broken... thereby defeating the...

OU Pokemon haven't been banned from UU per se. They're not allowed in UU because they are OU by their usage. You'll be able to see this in action as some OU things drop down to UU by their usage. Sometimes they end up broken in UU and get banned to BL, but other times they fit nicely into the...

All right. I see your logic. I'm still not totally convinced that in some cases a Pokemon+ability ban might not be worth the exception, though.

I argue against that notion above. I don't believe an ability is inseparable from a Pokemon. In fact, there is a difference between movepool, stats, and typing compared to ability. All Pokemon of a species have its movepool, stats, and typing (save for alternate forms), but ability is highly...

Wouldn't that be preferable, though? Simply saying "the policy is so and so" doesn't explain why the policy shouldn't be to keep otherwise-acceptable Pokemon available for play via Pokemon+ability bans when applicable. Doesn't the benefit of keeping Blaze Blaziken (and perhaps future suspects...

I tend to agree with this. I may be continuing a discussion that just isn't going to go anywhere, and I understand why Smogon is hesitant to opt for "complex" bans, but why are Pokemon+ability combos off the table completely? If the line were drawn at Pokemon+ability in Smogon's policy, then we...

I moved to Osaka a couple days ago, but now I'm thinking that I will probably return to the US. It's really unfortunate, as I planned and saved for a long time to be able to work here for a while, but the situation with the Fukushima plant is getting worse and worse, and no one seems to know...

I was in Shibuya when the quake hit. Never seen buildings wobble like that before. You know it's serious when earthquake-jaded Japanese people around you are yelling, "Kowai!" and are visibly disturbed. Tokyo seems to be fine, though, the worst of it being major inconveniences with the trains...

Oh, my mistake! I only assumed that she bred it, but she must have RNG'd if only male Eevees are available. I'll check with her to be sure, but if the Espeon doesn't sound good to you, I can offer the Yanma which was RNG'd.

A friend actually bred that one. She's been Eevee-obsessed for years, so she has excellent parents for passing IVs. xD

It does indeed have Magic Mirror. IVs: 31/30/31/30/31/30.

Hey there! I was looking at your trade thread and saw that beautiful Virizion. Unfortunately, I don't have a trade thread on Smogon, but I do have a Timid Espeon with Hidden Power Fire and great IVs I could offer you, since I saw it in your wants. If that does not interest you enough, I also...

The way you described the clause led me to believe you were proposing a WiFi rule. Of course on a simulator one could easily decide to implement an alternative to the pre-knowledge of WiFi matches.
