[Gen 1] Sleep and leads in RBY. [Approved by Jellicent]

Ray Jay Oct 16th, 2012 3:32:35 AM

I submitted one a while back about FWG cores in LC that I intend to revise and be uploaded.

DTC Oct 17th, 2012 8:45:36 PM

I submitted a letter a while back about Stealth Rock in NU. Like RayJay, I intend to revise it for upload.

Jellicent Oct 18th, 2012 2:34:53 AM

Yeah, you guys are both good to go~

Fantom0 Oct 19th, 2012 3:54:07 PM

Do VGC letters go here?

If so, could I have 'A VGC guide to TR'?

Jellicent Nov 1st, 2012 7:54:16 PM

Orange Islands will be getting a hub soon, most likely in the next week or two. So, I'm opening this up for in-game letters as well~

Jukain Nov 1st, 2012 8:05:31 PM

I know I have another letter that has to go through GP, but in the meanwhile would it be okay if I worked on a guide of how to take advantage of team preview? By that I mean what you can learn from team preview, what to be looking for, et cetera. It's something I'm very interested in doing.

IstheCakeReallyaLie Nov 1st, 2012 8:54:23 PM

@pokemon0078 I love that idea. Maybe add in a bit about determining what to lead with?

First of all, I love this idea. It seems like a great idea to get people (like me, actually) who are intimidated by the big process that you have to go through to create something, to write a moderately-sized piece.

Second off, can I reserve an in-game piece about Hidden Hollow hunting/finding/farming for the Orange Islands? If that's not available, how about a letter about the DW?

Redew Nov 3rd, 2012 6:44:20 PM

Win Conditions is being written.

Yeah, however it'll need a lot of input from various players to make sure that what you've written is accurate.

I'm pretty sure Hozu just wrote an article on the Hidden Hallows, unless you were going to just do a simple walkthrough version, which would then be fine.

If you're going to do one on the DW you'll also have to be careful to not overlap with anything that King N has already written too.

gonna talk about standard physical offense in adv
wont be longer than crystal_'s thing

DittoCrow Nov 11th, 2012 6:52:24 PM

Can Molk and I work on Good Sets vs. Bad Sets in RU? It'd be something like:

Choice Scarf Typhlosion (bad) vs. Choice Specs Typhlosion (good).

Both approved ^.^

I am interested in writing a GBU letter. I hope this may be the first in a series of letters I can write about GBU. Can I write it on "Utilizing Team Preview in GBU. Basically it will tell you how to analyze an opponents team( seeing which pokemon will be chosen) and how you can take advantage of team preview your self.

Jorgen Nov 24th, 2012 3:26:51 PM

Sent a PM to Jellicent and seemed to get the green light but I'll post my idea reservation here. Namely, Spikes in GSC.

Yeah you're both good to go, can't wait to see the results!

Crystal_ Dec 2nd, 2012 4:17:03 PM

Would like to write a letter about the RBY UU metagame, I have just PM'd Jellicent to tell him about it as well.

Ace Emerald Jan 1st, 2013 4:08:50 PM

I'd like to do a letter about Hail in the BW UU Metagame, if that's ok. I'd talk about different playstyles, good Pokemon, etc.

Yes, remember to keep it short though since this is a letter. If you'd like to go into more depth you should be looking at writing an article on it.

I was just planning on mentioning the Pokemon in the paragraphs, not dedicating paragraphs to a Pokemon. Rough example: Offensive hail teams use Blizzards, good Blizzard users are X, Y, Z. X offers blah over Y, Y does this, Z does that. W is generally inferior. With that structure I don't see it being too long, but I guess if it is it'll just be moved to articles?

Oglemi Jan 1st, 2013 7:47:44 PM

I'm sure that'll keep it concise, but yeah no matter what you write it'll end up onsite in some manner!

Yonko7 Jan 2nd, 2013 10:29:53 PM

Would like to write a letter on Rapid Spinning in RU n.n

Does it need to go through the process of QC? I'd assume so, but might as well ask.

Jellicent Jan 3rd, 2013 12:11:53 AM

Sounds good to me, Yonko :3

And yeah, have QC look it over after you've written it up~

Woodchuck Jan 3rd, 2013 6:37:38 PM

just realized i need to post for approval
anyway, LC's going to be working on a usage-based threatlist for the tier to be placed in the hub to help people get into the tier more quickly. as far as qcing goes each entry is probably just gonna be glanced over by lc qcers; they're threat list entries so it's not that big of a deal.
this is going in the hub and not articles because we plan to keep it updated from month to month usage.
