    I think Jolt is being a little underrated right now. It is, generally, not as scary to face as Zapdos, but it definitely has uses. But lets actually list out (some of) the downsides and upsides (relative to Zapdos). Disadvantages: - The quake weakness means its endgame matchups arent as good...

    Proposal phoopes' Original Ruleset for Your Gen One Needs (PORYGON): the (hopefully) final thread about RBY cart accuracy vs. modding

    Oh, the issue is less getting someone to code it as much as it is getting someone to approve the change once its done. Apparently it has to be Zarel, so when he's not around, there is no real way to move forward.

    Proposal phoopes' Original Ruleset for Your Gen One Needs (PORYGON): the (hopefully) final thread about RBY cart accuracy vs. modding

    I think the most pressing thing for the council to sort out is the recharge--freeze interaction. When I was on council, the other councillors made it pretty clear they think this needs to be resolved somehow, but never made a decision about what to do. If someone wants to code up the fight...

    Proposal phoopes' Original Ruleset for Your Gen One Needs (PORYGON): the (hopefully) final thread about RBY cart accuracy vs. modding

    For completeness there are also bans on glitchmons and glitchmoves, and a level 100 cap. We also ban moves obtained through glitches as well as stats that can't be generated by the stat formula according to each pokemons level and base stats. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

    WCOP Format II (Pools v. Groups)

    I only skimmed this thread, but did anyone point out that groups are famously unfair? Hence phrases like "the group of death". I don't have strong opinions either way, but if the goal is ensuring the top teams advance, moving to groups seems like a terrible idea.

    Smogon Premier League XV - Semifinals [Tiebreaker @ Post 63]

    Dunno if you all know something I dont, but if it were my call, I would put Khaetis in an RBY tiebreak ahead of Malekith.

    RBY Link Battle Initial RNG - An Unnecessary, Incredibly Extra Look Into Yet Another Cart Accuracy Moment

    Someone check my maths, but I think this means that a Chansey crit TBolt would require an absolute max roll (or to cycle through a lot of failed damage rolls) to OHKO a Starmie on the first turn. Actually, I think it needs a 252 roll, so I guess there would be two chances to get it. Any other...

    Proposal Editing PP on Showdown

    Nevertheless, there is a trivial solution that has no competitive downside that has already been agreed in principle by the rby council. I am happy for alternative solutions to be proposed, but, for the purpose of this thread ("should showdown implement PP editing?") the issue of wrap rollovers...

    Proposal Editing PP on Showdown

    Uhh.. my post got deleted, so I guess I was wrong about this having been an offical decision. Anyway, there is absolutely no competitive advantage whatsoever to allowing fewer than max pp ups in RBY except to abuse wrap rollovers. So there is a trivial solution to this for RBY which is to just...

    Rejected RBY Sleep Cause Should Be Cart Accurate (and other gens should consider it too)

    This should have been done years ago. And the whole concept of cheesing out a win in later gens by somehow trapping a pokemon then encoring a sleep move that your opponent willfully selects for some reason is so silly I have no idea why anyone brings it up as an argument at all. And our whole...

    Just wanted to point out the glaring omission from this post which is Emma herself. Though, I also am a big fan of Quarante8, Torchic, Vileman, Unowndragon, and jyuvg. Not sure who among them has signed up. Also, probably missing a bunch of other people, because I havent actually checked who...

    Implemented Keep RBY BO3

    I like bo1 rby because I am old and get worn out by the end of long sets. The idea that preping a bo3 rby set is too onerous seems to be verging on the threshold of no longer even being subjective, but just being outright incorrect. I mean, I know I am not a heavy prepper by rby standards, but...
