not quite too old for this, apparently
Old thread got large, and was irrelevant and erroneous in places, with all the changes that have come to CAP since it was started.

Like most other forums, simple questions come up all the time. Please ask them here, rather than making new threads.
This is NOT a discussion thread.
Common Questions:
Where do I find the sprites?
-Here: http://www.smogon.com/cap/server/connection_guide
Will CAPs be ported to the 5th gen?/What's going to happen with the 5th gen?
-We don't know. It all depends on how much the metagame changes.

This is NOT a discussion thread.
- Please consult the sticky threads and the CAP Website (specifically, the Newcomers Guide) before posting a question here. Most basic information is contained in them.
- Do not ask non-CAP related questions in this thread. For general Pokémon help, see the Simple Question / Simple Answer thread in Stark Mountain.
- Do not start discussions in this thread. This is for simple questions that are expected to have a simple answer. If your question is an open-ended discussion-starter, it will be moderated.
- Do not continue discussions in this thread. Provide a simple answer to a posted simple question, or do not post at all. Do not go "back-and-forth" with posts. However, feel free to answer follow-up questions if they are also simple in nature.
- This is not a place to post your ideas/concerns/problems/issues with the CAP project, simply because you "can't find any other place to post". If that is your reason for posting here, your post is almost certainly inappropriate here and will be moderated.
- Do not ask "When is <X> going to start?", "When is <X> going to happen?" or any other questions related to future project occurences. The CAP project does not follow any set timelines, so don't ask questions about it. If you are asking about the overall future project direction, the answer is in the stickies, or it isn't a simple question. Either way, don't ask that stuff here.
- Do not ask about EVO, or any other side projects that could come out of CAP.
- No, you cannot submit new ideas for Pokemon. Check out the Newcomers Guide for more info.
- All CAP Pokemon are "OU", no matter what usage they get in the CAP Metagame. The reason for this is that CAP Pokemon are designed for the OU metagame. Everything is tailored for the "CAP" in a vacuum. Thus, the usage in the full CAP Metagame is meaningless to our purpose.
