    Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October

    Glad to see that I’m not the only old person coming back here to read/post about this change. Overall, I’m disappointed by this decision in a real way, even though it’s probably irrational. It just seems like a compromise on the core of the series, and it essentially changes how we look at...

    Happy 10th Birthday, Smogon!

    I promise to reach 3,000 before we reach Mars.

    Happy 10th Birthday, Smogon!

    Happy birthday! I'm really old... I remember when this site only started, and I think my stint as a mod was in 2004/5. Still lurk here from time to time though, fantastic community ;)

    Reflecting on BW and Looking Ahead to Gen VI - SEE POST #508

    I think the best thing they could do is to make defensive strategies more viable. Defense means longer, more strategic battles, less dependence on luck and less dependent on rock-paper-scissors team countering. Someone here mentioned having a healing entry hazard (that will naturally be Grass...

    Reflecting on BW and Looking Ahead to Gen VI - SEE POST #508

    That's a great idea actually. A move like that can either be Grass ("Healing Seeds") or Psychic ("Energy Dust"), so maybe it should be more effective for certain types. It can be a great way to make defensive play more viable without nerfing anything.

    Should they maybe just make the weather abilities limited to 5 turns like the original moves? They would still be somewhat good, just not as crazily dominant.

    Man I've been reading this forum for the past hour. Having skipped most of DP and BW, I think I'll come for XY. Pokemon is a disease and there is no cure.

    Celebi

    Celebi is still very effective, but I think Thunder Wave is really crucial to cripple pokemon which would otherwise wall it completely (Heatran, Tyranitar, Scizor, Latis). Since Celebi has tons of opportunities to switch in (water types, grass types, Blissey, some fighting types) it would...

    Haha I'm pretty surprised you all know that set... Did it pick up popularity while I was gone...

    Haha I'm pretty surprised you all know that set... Did it pick up popularity while I was gone? In Advance it was very useful for 6-0ing the basic Skarm/Bliss/Bulky Water team without any effort. Unfortunately it's setup fodder for Gyarados, CM Celebi, Snorlax etc...

    Driving

    I didn't really know how to drive even after I took driving lessons and the test (it's mandatory and VERY strict here, in fact you're not allowed to drive more than 2 other people until you've had your license for two years). Only after you drive for a good 3-4 months on your own it really...

    The end of humanity

    This all really depends on what humanity is in the first place. If you define humanity as homo sapiens - then all of these mean the end of humanity. Since all of these things have human origins, they are more of an evolution than an extinction, at least the way I see it. In a way, when...

    What is the hardest Video Game you have ever played?

    Gran Turismo 3 and 4 are extremely hard in the later races and driving missions. Some of them require fine tuning your car and racing it for 3 hours straight, going to pit stops etc. All it takes is for you to screw up once and you're last since the computer follows a near-perfect racing line...

    I think I am too indecisive to ever get a team built...

    Heh, i'm exactly the same. I was pretty overwhelmed at all the new pokemon and sets I could use, I just couldn't decide on what to use. Eventually though, just pick one pokemon you definately want to use (for me it was Rhyperior), and build the team around it.

    The real WiFi battles will begin soon. (PBR Discussion)

    But they could give you an option to battle 6on6 if you wanted to. The standard battling rules are 6on6, not having it basically means you don't have random competetive matches. Why not give the option? Answer: so you would have a reason to buy the next game. If you buy this game you are...

    The real WiFi battles will begin soon. (PBR Discussion)

    I still believe the only reason that DP doesn't have random WiFi battling itself is because they had to give this 'game' a reason to exist. Random battling would eventually come to the DS in the obligatory 3rd version of DP, along with a new Battle Frontier-ish place.

    The real WiFi battles will begin soon. (PBR Discussion)

    I'm probably wrong, but aren't the random WiFi battles in PBR stadium mode only (3on3)?

    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer.

    Yes. Sleep Clause means you can only put one pokemon to sleep at a time, barring Rest. So if the sleeper dies you can sleep another one.

    Question: can EVs actually be reset at level 100 using the berries and the box trick?
