[Nochman.EXE]

Username: Enoch.EXE
Metagames: Monotype, Tier Shift, AAA
Forseeable Inactivity: None; Pending to change (will notify is so)
Important info: Nothing much to say here. My preferred Metagames are in a order from left to right, left being my strongest Tier while the right my weakest. The Tiers that were left out are ones I don't play, but I am always up to learn them, so I guess you could say I'm pretty adaptable as far as Tiering goes. I can also teach others the Tier I do know, so that would probably be another selling point of mine. Other than that I'm irritable, haughty and annoying, so keep that in mind too XD

randbats isn't a thing this OMPL, sorry WB :[

Even if you're unfamiliar with some of these metas, there's always Randbats!

 

[MoxieInfinite]

Nice job Monte Cristo, stop lying and start the auction already.

 

[Monte Cristo]

It was clear that I copied Ezio 's post from OMPL 1 and changed the big differences, oh well I missed 1 minor thing which could be thought of as misleading, there's even a possibility that I'm just telling people to try randbats to get into OMs in general before trying some serious OMs :/

 

[The Immortal]

Well Random Battle should be in the OMPL imo.

I actually disagree with this simply for the fact that it it can often lead to bad matchups at times and can give people shit like Skiploom and Vanillite, but another Rayquaza and Garchomp. At times, it's fair, but at other times, it isn't. I would prefer for it not to be included.

I disagree with your disagree. Sure, it can lead to bad matchups, but so does making your own team. Also, aren't Pokemon's levels adjusted in Randbats to account for their tier differentials?

Good players can turn bad matchups around. Also, Random Battle has different levels so Rayquaza is 70 while Jumpluff is 86. Also, there are no NFEs.

Yes, but the level balance isn't always fair either. At least with building your own team you can find your issues and resolve them, with RandBats you get one chance and that's it. Bad matchups can be resolved with your own team, not so much w/ RandBats.

I know about the levels, but the example wasn't specifically about the Pokemon, it was about how some teams just have better Pokemon than others, even w/ the level thing.

Metagames: 1v1, Balanced Hackmons
Forseeable Inactivity: I have to do homework sometimes
Important info: I'm GMT +10 which could make scheduling awkward. also im really bad at pokemon

EDIT: I have no problem with randbats, but I think it should be bo3 at least to somewhat make up for the random element
