  1. Pokémon Black/White in-game discussion

    ......I am a vortex of disappointment, annoyance, and anger. So much for playing with some personal friends.
  2. Pokémon Black/White in-game discussion

    I was interested in using a Lilligant, mostly for fun, so I was breeding for Hidden Power. So I hatch like 13 Petilils, and every one of them has Chlorophyll. Then, finally. I get one that has HP Ice, like I wanted, along with Own Tempo. I was so excited. Then I remembered to check the nature...
  3. Battle Subway

    I've been leading with a Mienshao, and my last time in the Super Singles HJK missed 5 times in a row over the course of like 4 battles. What are the odds of missing five times on a 90% accurate ability? I also posted in the worst battling experiences thread about how my entire team got defeated...

    Hey. I bumped into Heysup on HoN, and he said you play too. I'm only okay at the game overall, but if you want add me to your friend list and we can do some games. Name is PlasmaPony. Hit me up.
  5. Official Moving Forward (Re: "Putting My Foot Down")

    Group A. A leader has to make decisions that might go against the majority. What's the point of having a leader figure if they can't slap us upside the head when we screw up?
  6. Banning Pokemon & Ability combinations:

    The problem is that this opens too many cans of worms. Remember how it was sorting UU out when we revamped it from scratch, trying to figure out what was too tough and what wasn't? It already goes through several stages of flux when things drop down. It will be incredibly time consuming to test...
  7. Putting My Foot Down

    First of all, I want to say to Phil that I back your post 100% and respect you for having the balls to do so. I recognize that this was an incredibly hard decision with huge ramifications. You left yourself up for crucifixion with this post. The ramifications will be felt for some time...
  8. Pre-battle team selection and the simulator/Wi-Fi gap

    I agree with the things you said, but don't share the same view on them. I feel that seeing the opponent's team adds MORE skill, or at least different skill. It encourages use of a long term game plan and allowed for better prediction and more mind games. If the opponent KNOWS you have a...
  9. Banning Pokemon & Ability combinations:

    I'm really not a fan of nitpicking things on Pokemon. That is to say, unless a very strong case can be presented, I'd rather not pick and choose whether or not it's the ability that's broken or the Pokemon using the ability is broken. I can see some merit to the idea. Say, for example, that...
  10. Stealth Rock

    The best teams also came prepared to Tyranitar, Scizor, Heatran, Gyarados, Zapdos, and all the other influential parts of the game. I see SR in the same vein. It's an influential factor that has to be taken into account. To me, a SR test, if it were to occur, would be absolutely last, as the...
  11. Zoroark

    I don't like the idea of a lead Zoroark. Why waste the chance for mind games later, when it can make a bigger impact. As has been said, his best bet is to fake that you are a sweeper, preferably something with Nasty Plot, and try to set up. Something like Infernape or Azelf would work well with...

    I was invited to PR by Jumpman 2 years ago. It used to be badges only, and they decided that people who showed high intelligence when posting were to be allowed into PR. So basically I posted smart things and they invited me. lol It was right after Skymin was banned to ubers and I posted a lot...

  14. Stealth Rock

    Haven't we already tested it, in a sense? We've been playing with this move for years, and we've had a more than playable metagame even with it's presence. It shaped the metagame, but there will always be things within the game that shape how we play. This is one of them. It seems ludicrous to...
  15. [Vote] OHKO Clause

    I vote yes purely on principle. Pokemon is hardly a balanced game in and of itself. As a competitive community, we have taken it upon ourselves to build up a set of rules that minimize the game's inherent imbalances and try and turn it into a fair competition, minimizing the factors that take...

    BLASTOISE AND PIKACHU FOR UBER
  17. The First Smogon Council - Salamence

    When I first heard about this test I was excited. I thought it would be refreshing to play without having to worry about what appeared to be the most dangerous threat of the metagame. I've always despised Salamence since Platinum released, and thought the metagame would improve without it. I...
  18. Question of the Day, 4/07/10 - What is your major/concentration?

    I'm a communications major, with an emphasis on public relations. I've always been a good speaker. I did a lot of theater, and was that one kid in the class who actually enjoyed giving presentations. When I started college I was an English major, but quickly realized that it wasn't for me. There...
  19. How have your past girlfriend/boyfriend relationships been?

    I don't blame him for wanting to keep her at a distance. I would too if one of my friends seemed too friendly with her. Hell, the time I didn't she ended up going down on him in a bathroom after I left a party. Nobody wants to feel like someone is going after their girl, especially one of their...
  20. How have your past girlfriend/boyfriend relationships been?

    I hope you gained better priorities as well. Unless your friends are being unreasonable in some way, you should NEVER dump them for some girl. Especially for THEIR girl. Even if she likes you more and is willing to leave them for you, DON'T TOUCH. There are plenty of girls in your area that are...
