i really love this issue's artwork

DCJ · Nov 29th, 2009, 11:38:55 PM

Looks like a perfect issue (as always). I'll read up after I finish up some classwork.

Great work everybody!

DJXO9 · Nov 30th, 2009, 12:04:56 AM

A good read. I really liked the article about OU laddering.

Toaster · Nov 30th, 2009, 1:02:49 AM

Its a good read.Loved that electric and ghost were finally chosen :).

KnightoftheWind · Nov 30th, 2009, 5:03:36 AM

Nice issue, I really liked the artwork, especially that court scene.

Blue Kirby · Nov 30th, 2009, 5:26:41 AM

Jimbo is head editor of life

Exarius · Nov 30th, 2009, 6:34:26 AM

Looks good, still reading but enjoying it, and the more interesting articles are still to be read! (from my point of view)

Krack · Nov 30th, 2009, 7:05:34 AM

Good job! I enjoyed reading most of the articles, especially the laddering one.

Malfunction · Nov 30th, 2009, 7:22:27 AM

Getting better and better. Keep up the good work, guys.

The_Chaser · Nov 30th, 2009, 7:59:42 AM

Another great smog, well done. I particulary enjoyed Reverb's article on laddering.

ThePatriot · Nov 30th, 2009, 8:14:55 AM

Good job! I hope the next one is just as good!

mohaji · Nov 30th, 2009, 9:08:56 AM

Well good Job! I enjoyed reading the articles especially the Ladder and the Flavor of the Month!
Also the Uber RMT is realy good imo ;)
Good team bojangles and Fireburn

I hope the issue#6 will bring us good articles too ;)

***RBG**** · Nov 30th, 2009, 9:12:11 AM

Cool! I made the cover! Now to add that to my resume

X-Act · Nov 30th, 2009, 9:12:41 AM

Great issue once again!

Xia · Nov 30th, 2009, 9:47:43 AM

Congrats on another great issue!

EDIT: and i was never firebanned Jimbo (as far as I remember)!

CaptKirby · Nov 30th, 2009, 9:51:42 AM

"Can't Tyranitar do more than this though? Shockingly, yes. Tyranitar can deploy Dragon Dance to make its Attack even more ridiculous and boost its mediocre Speed."

That is pretty terribly written...

EspyJoel · Nov 30th, 2009, 11:06:07 AM

Good job guys!

Blue_Tornado · Nov 30th, 2009, 11:40:49 AM

Well, the Laddering guide was an obvious sucess. I think articles such as those will get a lot of attention and are a really good idea. Good work everyone!

Cyrrona · Nov 30th, 2009, 11:51:35 AM

Like almost everybody else, I enjoyed Reverb's guide--it was interesting to look at the actual laddering process for once instead of the battling theory behind it. Great work as usual, everyone!

Brass · Nov 30th, 2009, 11:55:01 AM

Good work

Alchemator · Nov 30th, 2009, 3:21:54 PM

Great again, especially the art (I never knew Kevin Garrett could produce such a brilliant ladder). I need to get involved with this.

weren't you just ICBB? I don't have a brilliant memory though

symphonyx64 · Nov 30th, 2009, 5:01:58 PM

Excellent work, as always.

As with the majority of people, I especially liked the laddering guide in particular. Seeing as I completely agree with the "Defeating Your Worst Enemy: Yourself" segment of the article. Also, I applaud Kevin Garrett for creating that ladder.

Keep up the good work, guys.
