    We're up for RBYWCoP. I'm GMT + 13. Best times for me are after 8pm or during weekdays around midday, so I can play on my lunchbreak. I can be flexible with when I take it, so give or take a couple hours..

    I think this is gonna be a difficult one to schedule. Could you do a weeknight and I'll take an early lunch at work, say 10pm GMT? Or could you do like some time after 7am GMT some day?

    Smogon Premier League XV - Semifinals

    Dunno if you all know something I dont, but if it were my call, I would put Khaetis in an RBY tiebreak ahead of Malekith.

    Can we pokemon around midday NZ time (GMT+13) on a weekday? I'll take a long lunch, and I can be fairly flexible with when so long as I dont have any meetings. Otherwise it has to be like, after 8pm my time, which I think would suck for you.

    RBY Link Battle Initial RNG - An Unnecessary, Incredibly Extra Look Into Yet Another Cart Accuracy Moment

    Someone check my maths, but I think this means that a Chansey crit TBolt would require an absolute max roll (or to cycle through a lot of failed damage rolls) to OHKO a Starmie on the first turn. Actually, I think it needs a 252 roll, so I guess there would be two chances to get it. Any other...

    Proposal Editing PP on Showdown

    Nevertheless, there is a trivial solution that has no competitive downside that has already been agreed in principle by the rby council. I am happy for alternative solutions to be proposed, but, for the purpose of this thread ("should showdown implement PP editing?") the issue of wrap rollovers...

    Proposal Editing PP on Showdown

    Uhh.. my post got deleted, so I guess I was wrong about this having been an offical decision. Anyway, there is absolutely no competitive advantage whatsoever to allowing fewer than max pp ups in RBY except to abuse wrap rollovers. So there is a trivial solution to this for RBY which is to just...

    What does this mean? Has the system for determining cutoffs been abandoned already?

    Proposal RBY Sleep Cause Should Be Cart Accurate (and other gens should consider it too)

    This should have been done years ago. And the whole concept of cheesing out a win in later gens by somehow trapping a pokemon then encoring a sleep move that your opponent willfully selects for some reason is so silly I have no idea why anyone brings it up as an argument at all. And our whole...

    metalmew I think. Man, I miss 4p randbats (proper randbats). I do not remember soniczoid though. Haha, so many people. Did some guy PM you asking about smogon history as well? Made it click for me that the 20th year anniversary is this year...

    Smogon Premier League XV - Commencement Thread

    Just wanted to point out the glaring omission from this post which is Emma herself. Though, I also am a big fan of Quarante8, Torchic, Vileman, Unowndragon, and jyuvg. Not sure who among them has signed up. Also, probably missing a bunch of other people, because I havent actually checked who...

    Implemented Keep RBY BO3

    I like bo1 rby because I am old and get worn out by the end of long sets. The idea that preping a bo3 rby set is too onerous seems to be verging on the threshold of no longer even being subjective, but just being outright incorrect. I mean, I know I am not a heavy prepper by rby standards, but...

    Implemented Keep RBY BO3

    TBH, I like Bo1, but just wanted to say that if the question is about what is reasonable to expect of a player of a tier in a tournament in terms of preparation/teambuilding then that should be a question for tier councils. Councils should set standard playing conditions, and then TDs can choose...

    Lower Tiers RBY UU Suspect Test Community Pulse

    So then what's the timeframe? Cause they have managed three huge bans this year, and on the table now they have Sleep, Kangaskhan, and Articuno. Is it going to be another year to get through those? After those are done, how long will you have to wait before you get your VR? Like, I actually...

    What is the timeframe we are expecting before we get a new, serious VR? Because it has been years. The tier changes are moving far to slowly to excuse putting off VRs.

    Wrap in RBY OU

    First game was awesome, G2 you were way ahead long before wrap came out (admittedly, because you had two pokemon that beat up surfmie, but that isnt so much an issue with wrap), and G3 your early advantage got you into the situation where you had a zam crit chance to take out Gengar, but not...

    OU RBY OU Discussion Thread

    More generally, Hypno with Gengar lead is nice if you intend to explode the Gengar against enemy Jynx. You get to send out Hypno and know youre either gonna outspeed an enemy sleeper, or it will be Gengar, and you get the opportunity to potentially Twave then Psychic it. Or, in this case, just...

    The Identity of WCoP

    This is 100% the point of WCoP in my opinion. It's the only major team tour where it really makes sense to invest in genuine beginner players, because you know they are definitely going to be on your team in future years. Not only that, there are world cups for every metagame, so you get to...
