Perhaps you underestimate the element of surprise.

That's not true. If you have the offensive ability to just smash through your opponents, Wobbuffet is much less useful, and average offensive ability is much higher in higher tiers.

His point is that a Gen IV team can take a Gen V team... without Shandera, but no team without Shandera can take a team with Shandera assuming near equal skill. Whether it's true is another matter entirely, but you should really stop posting if you can't understand something so simple.

Because then anything that gets rid of the sun can switch in and force you to waste two turns on a 60 BP attack.

Really? That is unfortunate. However, seeing as how PBR is generally not widely used in the first place, this still doesn't provide much evidence that its system is a good one, and, even if it did, it still wouldn't prove that simulators should try to force you to look at the opponent's team.

From what I've read, it seems PBR's system is actually very different from this one. Whereas PBR shows both sides many things they might be facing and allows them to choose what they think would be most effective against the opponent, this system shows you exactly what you will be facing before...

Even ignoring the false dichotomy, it's not like the game links directly to your brain and uploads the visual. It is still optional, but your opponent has an easier time of cheating. That is a flaw in the game, not in the simulator. If you're desperate to push this on everyone regardless of...

I'd like to say you're wrong, because the Fire side is a lot more vulnerable, especially for Tyranitar. OHKO from Scarftar's Stone Edge is practically guaranteed. But then I consider how important it could be to get Shanderaa off the field at any cost. Just makes me think Shadow Tag will be...

When you play "competitively" over Wi-Fi, you play mock-competitively. Due to the nature of Wi-Fi, it is basically impossible to hold any sort of true competition in the first place. Wi-Fi has many limitations which are not optional and lacks the option to enable many others. The competitive...

Shanderaa doesn't get any Fighting moves. HP Fighting would be its only option, and it probably won't bother to carry it. Even if it did, it would be useless on pretty much everything but Heatran, since STAB Flamethrower has over twice the BP.

That may be true, but 1) Shoddy isn't supposed to simulate Wi-Fi and 2) competitive play in general isn't supposed to be done over Wi-Fi. Whether it can be enforced over Wi-Fi might be an important question for people who plan to play over Wi-Fi, but for other players, not so much. Of course...

In addition to the setup required, there might be another problem with this. According to the research thread, you cannot overwrite Truant using Make Friends. Are we certain it can be bypassed by Mummy?
