Smogon Simple Questions Thread

How do I link my showdon account in discord?

Discord does not natively allow you to link your PS account; any sort of link would require 3rd party infrastructure, which to my knowledge is not currently provided in any official capacity by Smogon (I hope to change that).

If you're trying to verify your Discord account so you can participate in one of our servers, that's best done via your forum account and Chatot. If you're trying to use your PS account to verify, you should contact the server's staff and/or refer to that server's rule for what info they're looking for (typically, a screenshot of you logged in).

How do I get this?

I used to think this was for badgeholders, but then I saw something in the discord server that says using nitro there gets you a title on the pokemon forums, and I assume this is what they mean. If so, is this the only way to get this?
 
I'm looking for a replay of a Gen 6 OU tournament game from several years ago which was won when a Mega Lopunny used Healing Wish to cure a paralyzed Volcarona, allowing it to sweep. Unfortunately, I don't remember who the competitors were, but I think it was a relatively prominent tournament. I know that it's kind of obscure, but would anyone happen to remember where this replay was from?
 
lets say I wanted to suggest something that would affect competitive pokemon in general. Where would I go to do that?

more acurately, it is about a move that I think could see more usage because of an overlooked aspect of it.

I'd say post a short writeup of the move in the primary thread for whatever metagame you think this move would affect. In Gen 9 OU for example, that would be This thread here.
 
Well, my proposal is to consider creating a new Badge, this Badge would be directly related to the RMT forum. Although we already have a Team Rater, I wonder why not reward players who post RMT there, which are well written and detailed and with good results, for example, the last one I saw that caught my attention was a Probopass that got top 2 on the ladder and it was really incredible, I imagine the time invested in the creation process, the dedication in laddering and especially all the time invested in writing it. And this is just an isolated example, as several appear every month that will be made available to the public and whether they like it or not, this helps a lot to move this part of the forum. In general, greater visibility and incentive for those who frequently post good RMT would be contributing to greater competitiveness on the ladder and an even greater movement in this part of the forum, resulting in even more good teams emerging to the public.

a badge for that does exist in community contributor. People have gotten it for those purposes before, but considering how rare it is for people to actually make detailed RMTs of their successful teams, demand for a new badge is kind of low.
 
How can I recover my smogon account that I forgot the password to and no longer have the email associated with it. Is there a way to change the email on it? I have the pokemon showdown account that was used by the account.

how do i vertically align images like:
CSS: 
vertical-align: middle
but in my signature or posts?

if you're in the rich text editor you need to select right before the image, rather than the image itself, then use the Alignment dropdown (7th from the right, 13th from the left in the formatter). if you're in the bbcode editor, you can just add [center][/center] around the image bbcode
