Issue #10 Released!

***jumpluff**** · Aug 1st, 2010, 7:00:15 PM

We're in double digits now, and what better way to signify it than with our biggest issue yet? It's teeming in metagame and strategy-related content, which should make everyone happy. Not to mention the art is great as usual! We hope you all enjoy it, from the interview with MoP to the ADV metagame analysis, from the Latias history to the UU offense analysis. As Jimbo says, happy reading!

The Smog · Aug 1st, 2010, 7:03:40 PM

I'm pretty proud of myself too!

Jimbo · Aug 1st, 2010, 7:05:12 PM

I was worried that with my absence this issue wouldn't be out on time but everyone really came through. Thank you to all of the Smog Contributors and writers. You all did a fantastic job.

porygon-d · Aug 1st, 2010, 7:08:55 PM

A really great read for all of the articles, well done to all the writers!!!

Charmed · Aug 1st, 2010, 8:20:20 PM

There was so much that I learned from this article that I need to take a breather from all of it! I particularly loved the 'core' humor introduction. Excellent job, everyone.

Despotar · Aug 1st, 2010, 9:57:13 PM

Nice one guys!

Cybertron · Aug 1st, 2010, 10:25:15 PM

Those were some awesome articles! Keep up the good work!

**Fatecrashers** · Aug 1st, 2010, 10:49:25 PM

Whoa this issue's jam-packed! Just the way I likes it! A hearty congratulations is extended to all involved in its production!

STEELDRAGON · Aug 1st, 2010, 11:06:16 PM

Great job everyone! probably the best one yet, I really liked the History of Latias article, it was great.

animenagai · Aug 1st, 2010, 11:23:23 PM

Best issue yet! Per usual, there are little pieces of analysis here and there that I don't agree with, but eh, that will pretty much always be the case. I really enjoyed it and lol congrats on kotw for making the featured rmt! You're faaaaaaaaaamous!

danmantincan · Aug 1st, 2010, 11:27:48 PM

Congrats on making it to double digits, and great job everyone! Though I will admit that I was surprised that CeleTran was not included in the Core Crisis article.

IK. · Aug 2nd, 2010, 12:56:05 AM

HolyChipmunk · Aug 2nd, 2010, 1:14:36 AM

I don't understand Question 8 in Trivia. >:O It's the last one I have to do too.

EDIT, nevermind, got it. Good job on the issue guys!

Philip7086 · Aug 2nd, 2010, 1:58:13 AM

Great work as always team. Though the articles were awesome this issue, I gotta give it up to the artists. God damn, so good.

KnightoftheWind · Aug 2nd, 2010, 2:01:58 AM

Great issue, and thanks for featuring my team :)

Already fixed it. Guys, please don't post the trivia in this thread. ^^;; It's meant to be PMed to user The Smog. By the way, I wanna extend a hand to our newly-badged Smog artists: Yilx, Buffalo_Wings, *Hen*, and HellaHellaStyle! Congratulations!

symphonyx64 · Aug 2nd, 2010, 3:28:36 AM

Excellent milestone issue.
The artwork was simply outstanding.

Good work!

Banedon · Aug 2nd, 2010, 6:53:33 AM

I'm still reading all the articles, but I'll say this now: excellent article by Earthworm. I would never have thought that much, and an article like that is just great to read. It does seem to suffer from being overly verbose, but otherwise it mentions things that I didn't even think about.

Excellent article again, Earthworm!

Insularity · Aug 2nd, 2010, 7:06:46 AM

I love it, great job on making a 10th!

But I'm stuck wondering- what's Raikou doing on the front >_>

***Delko**** · Aug 2nd, 2010, 7:09:15 AM

Good job, love the underrated moveset and the art is fantastic as always! ^^

Snorlaxe · Aug 2nd, 2010, 8:09:13 AM

Great job everyone, a wonderful read! :)
