Firstly, please stop talking in caps and generally as if you're talking to a demented 5-year old. It may be that some of this topic has exasperated you, but please take into consideration not everyone has posted already. Don't assume everyone on the non-ban side is an idiot by default. To...

While the principle in your second sentence is usually true, I disagree with your first one. Clearly, it's not irrelevant if a pokemon is a Mega or not, as Mega evolution is a one month old mechanic which has yet to be defined, through experience, in terms of competitive value (is it beneficial...

This has probably already been stated, but the main reason I see not to quickban Gengarite without actual testing is the slippery slope it leads us to in terms of the absolute best new mechanic of gen 6, mega evolution. For every Mega you ban, all the other top Megas will gain usage (less...

At this point most arguments have already been made, I'll just add I fully agree with the reservations expressed by a few to quickban so early into the metagame and before Pokebank. Essentially, the only set which seems realistically up for discussion with valid arguments is the perish trapper...

I'm bringing this up again seeing as nothing is being done about it.

It appears Sikh Assassin has his inbox completely full so I can't get a pm through - I'll attempt to contact him on aim later today though, we should have our battle done soon.

Actually, the idea of a "Limbo" Tier which functions as a ban-list for NU has not been established before for a reason - NU is just not competitive enough to begin with. If you play NU matches (Smogon does not have a Tier List, but other sites do), you have to limit your choices to about a good...

Good Warstory, you definitely put some work into the formatting and presentation and it shows and is enjoyable to read. As a few people pointed out, you did overdo it with the continous praise put on Baris and the "german elite" a bit xD. There are alot of good european players, no need to...

what he says.

I've just been informed of this, lol, but fine. Confirming.

Jumpluff could make use of it as part of it's subseedsleep combo, and Grumpig wouldn't mind it in an UU stall team at all.

In the end, what it comes down to is that there are always two sides of a coin. We're talking about a major change in the metagame here - the potential consequences are merely speculative at this point. For this reason, something like a Test Tournament, or even a Test Server running for a...

Abomasnow and Kingdra where just short rises in popularity which were never going to stay in OU, the former mainly due to the existance of SR and the latter due to the obvious lack of permanent rain. Donphan has just gotten worse and worse. Spinners are not worth their weight in most teams...

What Jibaku said. "Which is better?" is a completely subjective question, and dependso on your definition of better. If you want to remain objective and go by the statistics and the philosophy we go by, then Salamence would be far "better" - 10th most used pokemon in May to Dragonite's meager...
