How could we make Smogon better?

Are there any plans for a Damage Calculator / IV Calculator to be implemented on the smogon.com site? There probably are, but that is honestly the only thing this site is missing from my perspective.
 
The jukebox could have any song you want.

But you guys were probably right, it might not be good for this site, it was just a suggestion anyway. >_>

I'm sure its already planned, but in the analysis pages, have a weakness/resistance chart for the pokemon. They exist for particular types but not type combinations. This would be especially useful for pokemon like Cradily, where the weaknesses are not instantly obvious...

Seconding this. I could (if other people want this) do a project that goes through every single Pokemon and gives how much damage it has for each type in the game. x.25, x.5, x1, x2, x4 damage etc.

It would really really help sometimes.

No... that's not necessary. The analysis pages will have type charts.
 
Writing a bunch of Peer Edits has caused me to realize that searching for moves within tiers (for the analyses), and searching for Base Stats above or below certain thresholds within tiers would be extraordinarily useful.

I was writing a Mantine peer edit and only remembered that Nidoking frequently carried Thunderbolt due to luck. However, if I had the ability to search for "Thunder, Thunderbolt, Hidden Power Electric, Volt Tackle, ThunderPunch" all within "UU," I could more efficiently write the peer edit.

An advanced search function would be good, but as for the tier thing, it's not too much of a problem, as you can always select to sort by tier...

I like this suggestion. I actually didn't have an advanced search function planned.
 
This is just another search idea (as you haven't recieved enough of those already). But I think it would be a good idea to go with the Tier/Move search idea Aldaron posted. Using that same concept would it be feasible to search Tier based on a pokemon's particular Item preference?

Blissey uses Leftovers. No ifs or buts to it. But say Item clause was activated and you wanted a decent CB or CSpecs user to go on your team, but didn't know all/each pokemon that can utilize this. This feature would sort out the analysis based on which pokemon frequently carry this.

I realize this is may be a bit time consuming to do. So that's why I inculded feasible in the beginning. Anyways, good luck chaos.

EDIT: I apologize chaos. :P
 
On the advanced search note, it would also be cool if we could search for Pokemon that learn multiple moves. For example, searching for all the Pokemon that learn both Ice Beam and Thunderbolt.
 
The damage calculator is in active development, DougJustDoug and I are working on it.
 
I think it would be cool if the Smogon shoddy server had a R/B/Y, G/S/C, & R/S/E metagame servers/options what ever. Of course, since the Smogon server is; a) brand new b) not part of Smogon.com, I would understand if that took time, or if this post just doesn't belong here.
 
Maybe you could make a official smogon team tournament. Were anyone can enter a creative/solid team, and the person who gets the highest overall ranking wins. Rankings would be 1-10 and it would go round by round, each round you would need a new team to enter.

BTW... does this go here?

Like a Team Rate Tournament (I'm confused but I think that is what you were trying to say).....? I'd say that'd be fairly complicated / silly, but hey that is my own opinion.


Are the items/natures section ever going to get added? It seems like I want to look up that stuff a lot but it isn't on smogon ;(

... what do you think the answer to this is? This isn't a topic for you to be a whiny brat.

sorry, didn't mean to come off like that. If you are ok with it, I could add them up for you. Would that be cool?
 
Well, I searched around, and I didn't find the option for any forums skins. I'd say they're quite the nice feature, actually. If they exist, and I am blind, just ignore this.

I am also seconding (thirding?) the desire for Koffing traversing a maze.

I would like that too, but I don't think that Shoddy supports the game mechanics of previous generations (correct me if I'm wrong)

Also, I would like to see a "role" function on the search, so you could search for bulky sweeper, special wall etc.

Shoddy is D/P only. Just wait for Competitor.


Will the move's types be added to the main moves page for each generation? What about a move type and phys/spec. filter?
