Art by Kadew Welcome back to the greatest series ever to grace Orange Islands brought to you by the humblest user ever to grace Orange Islands: Deino Plays! I started this series in the relative stone age of 2014 as a publicity stunt to get the attention of my star-crossed lover, Stellar, and...

Welcome to Deinosaur's Art Thread! I've gotten into drawing some pictures recently in MS paint. I do not claim myself to be an artist of any notable skill, nor do I intend to contribute official art to Smogon. My thread here is simply because I like to draw things. Tyranitar :D Plusle and...

Will be co-writing this with Jimera0 because we are both experienced in these challenges Essentially the Orange Islands have three major challenges that we play around with when we play through the games in order to increase the difficulty and to broaden our team selections. This article will...

Art by Kadew Hello and welcome to Deino Plays! This is a thread that I used to own back in the day that has since died in my absence. I play through games with certain challenges (nuzlocke, scramble, randomizer, etc.) and get advice from fans throughout. The idea is an interactive Let’s Play...

Jellicent came to me and told me I should write Oglemi-esque top 10 articles, and we came up with the topic of this one as top 10 pokemon to own. It will include handiness, coolness, ease of care, etc. If you need any examples, I can give some. This will be a lot more relaxed, so I'll make it...

The Orange Islands forum is a place for people who love to play the games. We've always played Battle Frontier together and raced each other in speedruns or Rival Challenges. In February, after seeing many Let's Plays on YouTube of a bunch of friends getting together to play games, I posted a...

Hello users of Orange Islands, and welcome to a new feature that I am going to be running, with the consent of Jellicent, called Orange Islands Plays! So you might be wondering, just what is this thing called Orange Islands Plays? Well it's just a big Let's Play inside Orange Islands, where...

Any and All Ways to Lose Its been a long, long time since I posted an RMT. Well, its been a long time since I built a team of my own. Normally, I just take other people's teams and use them on ladder for fun. Anyway, this is my first BW2 team that I have made, and it is definitely far...

Deoxys-S QC accepted: 3/3, [PK Gaming, wilson46, Iconic] GP approved: 2/2 [V0x/TelamonianAjax, NixHex] [OVERVIEW] <p>Deoxys-S, having being banished to Ubers after dominating OU in DPP, has returned to OU to an entirely different metagame. With the addition of Excadrill and team...

Intro This team has served me very well over the time that I have used it. Although I am not the best player, this team has peaked at #8 on the leaderboard with a 1260 rating, before promptly getting haxed back to 14th. I have also peaked two other nicks at 12th and 15th place, while also...

All great teams have a good strategy behind them. There are simple strategies, such as just dishing out more damage than your opponent(as commonly seen on Hyper Offense teams), to deeper strategies such as indirectly beating the metagame by a series of intelligent switching to counter...

Hello Smogon, this is not my first RMT, and it is certainly not my last. Most of my teams have been pretty bog standard, and I’ve decided to build some new teams with surprises. This is one of them. I am using an unorthodox Flygon set to mess with my opponent’s mind and shake their belief of...

Shaymin This is mostly written, but please say what needs to be elaborated on. [OVERVIEW] <p>Shaymin-S will undoubtedly become banned, but Shaymin is a great Pokemon. She has the ability to avoid status with Natural Cure, and to deal some damage with her great Seed Flare coming from a nice...

Team at a glance: What was your favorite Gen IV team? Think back all the way to the beginning, as far back as you can. Well I loved all of my Gen IV teams, but most of the teams I made were pretty bad, as I was just starting out. But this one, I just had a great feeling about this one. One...

The Team Building Process Well first i decided I wanted Tyranitar. I don't use Tyranitar very often on my teams, so I decided to try it. I added Gengar as a revenge killer and Tyranitar partner. I chose Colbur Berry Lead Azelf for my lead. I've had some success with it in the past and i...

I TRIED TO USE SPRITES BUT MY COMPUTER WON'T LET ME!!! So if it looks dumb, it's not my fault. Team Building: I decided to use the FlyZor CB core here because i've used them together before to great success Infernape can switch in on a fire attack aimed at scizor, and flygon can switch...

I have found this team to be solid and can counter about 95% of the OU metagame. But sadly my infernape is really the answer to a lot...so if he dies, I'm harder pressed to win. I have about an 85-90 win percentage but I'd like a few fresh eyes to take a look: Azelf@Focus Sash Levitate 252...
