  4. Make an actual ban list

  7. Adopting VGC rules for OU

    Now that we have official rules for the VGC tournaments, I think we should revisit an issue that was brought up in the past. It was just discovered that in Nintendo's official tournament, they will be using the infrared capabilities of DSes instead of Wi-fi to run the tournament. This doesn't...

  9. Fixing UU

    If this would be more appropriate in The Policy Review, can someone move it there please? I just figured posting it here would get more attention. Ok, first of all, this topic is not designed to offend anyone running the current UU process. I was originally supposed to be running it but I...

  14. DP Garchomp

    The Garchomp analysis is kind of cluttered. There are unnecessary sets, there are options missing, and there are some flaws with it that just don't match up to how today's metagame actually works. On top of that, it was written when it wasn't nearly as common and it just doesn't emphasize the...
  15. NFEs in UU

    A little while ago, I was asking on IRC and nobody could really figure out the answer to the following question: Why are NFEs banned from UU play? The only answer that I have been able to find is "it would turn UU into 'OU lite'". My response to that is: isn't the whole point of UU to be OU...
