    Magic The Gathering

    Alright, looks like the old thread withered away somewhere. So I'm making another one cause I want to talk about it. It's the longest standing trading card game in the world (20 years as of writing), and probably one of the biggest. It's also one of the nerdiest things you can do. Anyone who...

    2013 Season Championship Points system revealed

    http://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/championship-series/championship-points/ So, we all know (or at least I hope we know) that next year's Worlds Invite system will no longer be based on a Top X for regions, but rather there will be a points threshold. All players that reach this point...

    R/S/E In-Game Tier List Discussion

    approved by Jellicent Okay, let's get this underway. Like all in-game tier lists, this will hopefully end up on-site at some point, so we're looking for well-written, clear, and concise analyses of why this Pokemon is good in-game. As well as holding records and being the drawing board for...

    Official "Find-A-League" Thread

    approved by cybertron Okay, so we all know that Pokemon TCG isn't as popular as Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic, but that doesn't stop there being large organized play for it. Sure we may do lots of testing online (which is great, because it's free), but it's still useful to be able to play in real life, to...

    iOS Titles worth sharing

    The more I face the harsh reality the more I get scared in that games I spend 70p-£5.99 on are more fun than the £20 Mario Kart 7. But something about the App Store (well, not in my case) keeps drawing me back and making tiny purchases. They're about 10% the price, and like, 1-5% the...

    Accelgor (Analysis) [DONE]

    ...And once again Zy comes to the rescue. The sets (there are only two) have gone through QC. The only problem was that the previous two had terrible authors, no offensive to the people in question. I'll get to this at some point. --- [Overview] <p>Accelgor is definitely an...

    Electivire (Analysis)

    This hasn't been completed, and as a result I am entirely redoing it. Unlike Smeargle, everything here will be my own writing, so sadly the original user will not be accredited. It isn't ready for GP yet, but I'll duly inform the right people when it is. It's already passed QC, so I'm leaving...

    Smeargle (Analysis)

    Right, Paradox wrote most of this, and while I'll be tidying some bits up and rewriting one or two sections, he is still responsible for about 80% of what's here. I'm just pushing this through GP. --- [Overview] <p>Smeargle has always been capable of some neat tricks, but with a wide...

    Magic: The Gathering

    Magic: The Gathering It's no small fact that Magic: The Gathering is easily the most expensive card game in the world. With decks varying from $200 to over $2000, and even single cards going for $2400 apiece, Magic: The Gathering is also known for being extremely daunting due to many complex...

    Xatu (Analysis)

    original thread here; http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3446757 He's given me permission to take it over, so I'm starting a new thread. I'll import the skeleton of the two sets up, and let QC chime in until then. --- [Overview] <p>Ever since it appeared in Generation II...

    Galladiator vs Dogfish44 (ref: Zystral)

    I'm not good with dramatic introductions or whatever but I'll try. Roaring winds whip up sandstorms on a regular basis here in the middle of the Gobi Desert. The huge field is literally one massive area of nothingness but sand, except for the off splatting or plant life and water here and...

    Scolipede (Analysis)

    Pendoraa ---- - Base 112 Speed + 90 Atk + Swords Dance - Megahorn / EQ / SD / Something? - Can also Baton Pass SD and Agility - Screech and Pursuit, maybe? - Swarm is probably the better ability, almost always. Quick Feet is better, but Pendoraa is immune to Poison, Burn and paralysis...

    Heatran's EVs

    Right, so we invest the 4 remaining EVs on Heatran into SpD most of the time so that the rare Porygon-Z won't get a Download boost. But.... a lot of the Heatran sets list Naive as the nature of choice, which lowers SpD, meaning that even with investment Porygon-Z is nabbing that boost anyway...

    Infinity Blade

    Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably seen that new iPad advert on TV. And in that, there's one app where we can see two warrior-like people drawing swords ready to combat each other. This my friends, is Infinity Blade, the latest titanic offering from the App Store for the...
