Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
hey, about your maison article: if you're still looking for a list of the AI partners' Pokemon, you could just use TRE's AI pokemon lists because the AI partners use the set 3 mons (unless I'm horribly mistaken)
Do you have a chan on IRC or some place to discuss maison? The thread is pretty active but I recommend having IRC access if you don't already. Please let me know, I will add to my ajoin immediately.
