Welcome to the new Past Gens Resource Archive. This thread exists as a one-stop hotspot for important past gens guides and resources. If there's anything you would like to see added to this, feel free to nominate it below. Please provide a link and a brief explanation for nominations. Everything from RBY to BW, Ubers to LC is fair game. I'll try to keep this as organized and up-to-date as possible.
The RoA SQSA - The official past gens' simple question, simple answer thread. If you have a quick question about anything related to past gens competitive Pokemon, feel free to ask it here!
#RuinsOfAlph - Smogon's official SynIRC channel for past gens discussion. This is a great room to check out for real time chatting. If you're unfamiliar with IRC, you can read more about it here.
Pokemon Online - PO is the best Pokemon simulator for RBY, GSC, and ADV. It does require downloading.
Pokemon Showdown - PS is a browser-based Pokemon simulator and the best place to go for DPP and BW battles. RBY, GSC, and ADV ladders are currently in Beta. They also have a chat dedicated to Old Gens.
