2nd Warstory: I don't know how to call this.

Riverside

Hi! so... this its my 2nd Warstory, this time featuring another team made yesterday.

About this team... I wanted a team that covers other teammates weakness and stuff and at the same time be NU, this it's the best I come with.

About this battle, it was pretty cool and (except Ampharos) every pokemon (mine's and my foe's) got some action.

Riverside's team:

natelo sent out Azumarill (lvl 100 Azumarill ?).
Riverside sent out Glaceon (lvl 100 Glaceon ?).

So battle start, he send out an Azumarill and I don't know what's the standard azumarill set in this generation, he may be choiced? sub-puncher? maybe a very-strange tank? anyway I know Azumarill most reliable moves are physical so the battle start with a move I love.

Glaceon used Charm.
Azumarill's attack was harshly lowered.
Azumarill used Waterfall.
Glaceon lost 35% of its health.

Ouch! without Charm the Waterfall damage would be 70% and my Glaceon it's a defensive one, that mean this Azumarill it's choiced, there is no other way my Glaceon could take that damage from him. (without the life orb recoil from azumarill), let's start to do some vaporeon-like things.

Glaceon used Wish.
Glaceon made a wish!
Azumarill used Waterfall.
Glaceon lost 36% of its health.
---
Glaceon used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Azumarill lost 20% of its health.
Azumarill used Waterfall.
Glaceon lost 33% of its health.
The wish came true!
Glaceon restored 50% of its health.
---
natelo switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Glaceon used Charm.
Blissey's attack was harshly lowered.

Missprediction! even if Ice beam did so-so damage to Azumarill it won't do anything to Blissey for reason I guess everyone knows. There is no other way than a pokemon switch but I'm worried, I don't want a pokmon poisoned that early (maybe the blissey has Toxic) It risky but must be done.

Riverside switched in Magcargo (lvl 100 Magcargo ?).
Blissey used Thunder Wave.
Magcargo is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
---
Blissey used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Magcargo lost 11% of its health.
Magcargo used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!

So now I know that blissey it's anti-dragons and seems to don't have Seismic toss (Magcargo HP it's terrible so it would be huge damage to him)

Plus I got a layer of stealth rocks! things are going great however I can't hurt blissey and she can't hurt me, someone have to switch soon.

natelo switched in Tentacruel (lvl 100 Tentacruel ?).
Pointed stones dug into Tentacruel.
Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.
Magcargo used Lava Plume.
It's not very effective...
Tentacruel lost 8% of its health.
Tentacruel was burned!
Tentacruel was hurt by its burn!
Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.

I decided to Burn-hax blissey to force the switch, however he switched to his spinner (who got x4 advantage against Magcargo) and gets hax-burned.

It's too risky to let Magcargo there and I got an electric pokemon, there's no reason to let him there right now.

Riverside switched in Ampharos (lvl 100 Ampharos ?).
Tentacruel used Rapid Spin.
Tentacruel blew away the pointed stones!
Ampharos lost 2% of its health.
Tentacruel was hurt by its burn!
Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.
---
natelo switched in Hippowdon (lvl 100 Hippowdon ?).
Hippowdon's Sand Stream whipped up a sandstorm!
A sandstorm brewed!
Ampharos used Discharge.
It doesn't affect Hippowdon...
The sandstorm rages.
---
Ampharos used Magnet Rise.
Ampharos became immune to ground attacks!
Hippowdon used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
The sandstorm rages.
---
Ampharos used Discharge.
It doesn't affect Hippowdon...
Hippowdon used Toxic.
Ampharos was badly poisoned!
The sandstorm rages.
Ampharos is hurt by poison!
Ampharos lost 6% of its health.

Another missprediction! but I was too naive, even if I get Ground-inmunity he could roar me (as most Hippowdon), however he toxic me and that's not good anyway. The only attacks I got are Discharge (STAB and para-hax) and Hidden power ground (For type coverage and jolteons/electrivires), even if Hippowdon got a so-so spc. defense I can't hurt him hard.

Riverside switched in Sandslash (lvl 100 Sandslash ?).
Pointed stones dug into Sandslash.
Sandslash lost 6% of its health.
Hippowdon used Stealth Rock.
But it failed!
The sandstorm rages.

Ok I didn't see the point of this, maybe he wanted to increase the poison damage (as he cannot hurt ampharos with Earthquake) but I went to my Support-sandslash.

Then some let's call it "spin war" and "switch war" started

Sandslash used Rapid Spin.
Sandslash blew away the pointed stones!
Hippowdon lost 3% of its health.
Hippowdon used Stealth Rock.

Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.

Ok, I got my rocks again and he got his spinner out, I can hurt Tentacruel with Earth Power but he can OHKO me with surf right? Right!? risky but let's do this!















Tentacruel used Surf.
It's super effective!
Magcargo lost 90% of its health.
Magcargo used Earth Power.
It's super effective!
A critical hit!

natelo's Tentacruel fainted.​

Natelo (5-6) Riverside
Tentacruel faints against Magcargo's epic Crit-hax Earth Power after taking a x4 stab'd surf and survived with decent hp.

Yay me and yay Magcargo! he survived and take away the spinner, now he can't get rid of my Stealth rocks! Magcargo you're awesom even if I mispredicted (again)

Let's recapitulate, I already shown my Glaceon (lead), Magcargo, Pelipper, Ampharos (Badly Poison) and Sandslash. Hidding one mysterious pokemon

He has shown his Azumarill (lead), Blissey, Hippowdon and Tentacruel (fainted), he hide two pokemon.

natelo switched in Azumarill (lvl 100 Azumarill ?).
Pointed stones dug into Azumarill.
Azumarill lost 12% of its health.
Riverside switched in Pelipper (lvl 100 Pelipper ?).
Azumarill used Aqua Jet.
It's not very effective...
Pelipper lost 15% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.

Obviously I won't let die the guy who can tank Blissey (as I really don't have any other guy who can free-switch to blissey (because he's already paralized, there's no problem on switching in)

Talking about Blissey...

natelo switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.
Blissey lost 12% of its health.

Pointed stones dug into Hippowdon.
Hippowdon lost 6% of its health.
Magcargo used Lava Plume.
Hippowdon lost 22% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.

So he kindly let me recover and damage his Hippowdon. He maybe didn't knew Magcargo got Recover (as it's a new move from D/P and nobody uses Magcargo, so he has in his side the surprise element) or he was just stupid.

Riverside switched in Sandslash (lvl 100 Sandslash ?).
Hippowdon used Earthquake.
Sandslash lost 26% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Sandslash is hurt by poison!
Sandslash lost 6% of its health.

I thought he would set up his rocks as he could predict a switch to Pelipper but I was wrong. If he keeps attacking I will lose Sandslash and h can set up his rocks.

natelo switched in Azumarill (lvl 100 Azumarill ?).
Pointed stones dug into Azumarill.
Azumarill lost 12% of its health.
Sandslash used Toxic.
Azumarill was badly poisoned!

Toxic it's such a great move, protect too as now I know what move he will use (because Azumarill it's choice banded)

Riverside switched in Pelipper (lvl 100 Pelipper ?).
Azumarill used Aqua Jet.
It's not very effective...
Pelipper lost 15% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Azumarill is hurt by poison!
Azumarill lost 12% of its health.
natelo's Azumarill fainted.
natelo (4-6) Riverside
natelo's Azumarill fainted against his own sandstorm + Sandslash's toxic.

Now I get rid of his choice bander, maybe his only one Physical sweeper (he hasn't shown his other 2 pokemon yet, as I didn't shown my last pokemon)

natelo switched in Gengar (lvl 100 Gengar ?).
Pointed stones dug into Gengar.
Gengar lost 12% of its health.
Riverside switched in Ampharos (lvl 100 Ampharos ?).
Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Ampharos lost 54% of its health.
Ampharos's special defence was lowered.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Ampharos is hurt by poison!
Ampharos lost 6% of its health.

So... he shown Gengar... with Gengar out I could switch to Regigigas to stall him a bit (To make him take a little damage from Sandstorm) but I wanted to keep Regigigas in secret, plus Regigigas movepool it's very, VERY poor and he don't learn any physical super-effective move against Ghost except Knock off (with 20 base power)

Showning Regigigas in that situation just didn't worth it but now Ampharos it's about to faint and (besides regigigas) I don't have anything that could take Gengar's attacks (Glaceon and Magcargo could faint to 2 Focus Blast or in the worst scenario, with one. Sandslash got bad spc defense, Pelipper faints against Thunderbolt)

So someone has to faint, too bad he didn't even did damage, bye Amphy.

Gengar used Shadow Ball.
Ampharos lost 34% of its health.
Riverside's Ampharos fainted.
natelo (4-5) Riverside
My Ampharos lost to natelo's Life orb Gengar and i'm in troubles, if I don't get rid of Gengar quickly he could sweep me, or at least take half of my team with him.
Gengar lost 10% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.

Riverside switched in Glaceon (lvl 100 Glaceon ?).
natelo switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.

Pointed stones dug into Hippowdon.
Hippowdon lost 6% of its health.
Magcargo used Lava Plume.
Hippowdon lost 21% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.

He really want to take down Magcargo to not stall him with blissey and let Hippowdon take damage (and maybe a burn) (Of course he don't know about Regigigas so I would win the stall war vs Bliss)

Riverside switched in Sandslash (lvl 100 Sandslash ?).
Hippowdon used Toxic.
But it failed!
The sandstorm rages.
Sandslash is hurt by poison!
Sandslash lost 6% of its health.

Pointed stones dug into Gengar.
Gengar lost 12% of its health.
Sandslash used Toxic.
The sandstorm rages.
Sandslash is hurt by poison!
Sandslash lost 12% of its health.

So... Gengar again and almost-nothing to take him down, start the struggle: If I want to get rid of him (and have the chance to win) I have to shown my last pokemon...

I won't comment in a while, just see what I must do to damage Gengar.

Sandslash used Protect.
Sandslash protected itself!
Gengar used Shadow Ball.

Gengar lost 3% of its health.
natelo's Gengar fainted.
natelo (3-4) Riverside
Finally! he killed himself with his own Life orb + his own Sandstorm combo. Until now I didn't had any f*cking clue of why he picked Hippowdon if he can't take his own Sandstorm.
The sandstorm rages.
---
natelo switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.

Magcargo got lucky vs Tentacruel but seems like his luck go away, he's not burning anyone now :(

Riverside switched in Pelipper (lvl 100 Pelipper ?).
Hippowdon used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
The sandstorm rages.

Crap! I forgot the Steath rocks! now that I lost Sandslash I can't get rid of them, If I had remember that maybe I could sacrifice anyone but Sandslash.

With that rocks I won't be able to survive much more (as he has 1 pokemon in the shadows, it may be a dragon sweeper or who knows) so... time to start the action.

natelo switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Pointed stones dug into Blissey.

The hail continues to fall.
StoleMyBike is pelted by hail!
StoleMyBike lost 6% of its health.

Ok now I'm stunned, his last pokemon was an Abomasnow? that mean he can take control of the weather as his will. That may be pretty smart if well-used (Let's say a Hail team doesn't like Sandstorm, and a Sandstorm team doesn't like Hail. Sunny and Rain teams are screwed with both of them.)

But now it's too late for Abomasnow. Regigias it's starting to get rid of Slow Start and he already took 25% damage from Stealth rocks.

Hippowdon used Earthquake.
The substitute took damage for StoleMyBike!
StoleMyBike's substitute faded!
The sandstorm rages.
StoleMyBike finally got its act together!

Yay! I get rid of Slow start!

By the way, I use knock off because it can hit ghost, support and... because I didn't know Regigigas can learn Foresight in Platinum =p... (with that he can hit Ghost)

However...

StoleMyBike used Substitute.
StoleMyBike lost 25% of its health.
StoleMyBike made a substitute!

The substitute took damage for StoleMyBike!
StoleMyBike's substitute faded!

I haven't read the Slow start ends messag until now, so I lost 25% HP for nothing, shame me.

Hippowdon lost 35% of its health.

Riverside: aw
Riverside: Close

Regigigas barely survived the Earthquake (as I take 25% hp from myself >_<) and Hippowdon took little damage from Frustration (not surprised at all, as he's made to take Choiced attacks and OUs choiced banded pokemon have more attack than Regigigas)

StoleMyBike used Frustration.
Hippowdon lost 1% of its health.

Props:
-Magcargo's epicness
-Tight battle, specially in the mid-battle.
-Gengar almost-sweep
-Interesting teams.

Slops:
-Many misprediction on my side
-Some mistakes from me (knock off instead of frustration with Regigigas, substitute after getting off the slow start)
-So-so opponent
 
I love this story purely becuase you managed to kill an ou team with pokemon like regiggas and magcargo. Peliper aswell.
 
The prose of this warstory let it down, and some of the prediction on both sides was so-so. I did get through the whole thing, and managed to enjoy it, but I'd hardly call it a good warstory.
 
Uhm yeah, my mother lenguage isn't english so I can't really construct phrases with many kind of different words.

Plus my keyboard sucks, I have to push the bottoms hard to write xD

Thanks for reading anyway. I guess my side it's on the battles more than stories, at least as a foreigner :D
 
It was a so-so battle at best, but mainly because a team full of NUs defeated an OU team. Other than that, not the best predictions from either side, but it was interesting to see an OU team fall to a team that is considered beneath them :P
 
Alot better than the other one you posted. I guess it was more entertaining cause this time you were beating the odds instead of just falling in with them. Whatever the reason, though, it kept me entertained, it was cool to see stuff like Magcargo surviving Surf (seriously, how the hell......he has 50/80 special defenses) and using Recover. Really nice pictures too, where did you get those?

Hi! So... This its my second warstory, this time featuring another team I made yesterday.

About this team: I wanted a team that covers it's teammate's weakness well and at the same time be still be NU, this is the best I could come up with. It seems pretty competitively viable too!

About this battle:I thought it was a pretty cool battle, seeing that NU pokemon can give a OU team a run for their money and every pokemon in the battle (with the exception of Ampharos) had their time to shine.

Natelo sent out Azumarill (lvl 100 Azumarill ?).
Riverside sent out Glaceon (lvl 100 Glaceon ?).

So, the battle starts, he leads with an Azumarill and I don't know what's the standard Azumarill set in this generation, he could be Choice-Banded? Perhaps a Sub-puncher? Maybe a very strange tank? Anyway, I know Azumarill is a physical attacker so I start the battle off with a move I love.

Glaceon used Charm.
Azumarill's attack was harshly lowered.
Azumarill used Waterfall.
Glaceon lost 35% of its health.

Ouch! Without Charm, that Waterfall would have been around 70%! My Glaceon is geared to be physically defensive and I saw no life orb recoil, from that I can deduce that Azumarill is holding a choice band, so I take this opportunity to recover my HP.

Glaceon used Wish.
Glaceon made a wish!
Azumarill used Waterfall.
Glaceon lost 36% of its health.

Glaceon used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Azumarill lost 20% of its health.
Azumarill used Waterfall.
Glaceon lost 33% of its health.
The wish came true!
Glaceon restored 50% of its health.

natelo switched in Blissey (lvl 100 Blissey ?).
Glaceon used Charm.
Blissey's attack was harshly lowered.

Drat,Misprediction! Though there was no real harm done, the damage done to Blissey would be negligible. I can't touch Blissey with my Glaceon so a switch is necessary, but Blissey usually carries toxic and since none of my pokemon are immune it's risky. Ah well, here goes.

Riverside switched in Magcargo (lvl 100 Magcargo ?).
Blissey used Thunder Wave.
Magcargo is paralysed! It may be unable to move!
---
Blissey used Ice Beam.
It's not very effective...
Magcargo lost 11% of its health.
Magcargo used Stealth Rock.
Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!

So now I know what Blissey's attacking move is. Which is handy. I was dreading a Seismic Toss, which would have heavily damaged Magcargo, given his horrible HP.

Another positive is that I got Stealth Rock, which will help me in the course of the battle! Since neither Blissey nor Magcargo can really hurt each other I sense a switch.

natelo switched in Tentacruel (lvl 100 Tentacruel ?).
Pointed stones dug into Tentacruel.
Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.
Magcargo used Lava Plume.
It's not very effective...
Tentacruel lost 8% of its health.
Tentacruel was burned!
Tentacruel was hurt by its burn!
Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.

I decide to scout and waste time to see what he plans to do, hoping for a burn hax on his Blissey. But burning his Spinner is much better due to the probable lack of recovery in comparison to Blissey's natural cure. So things aren't looking good here, he has a 4x type advantage. He will probably Rapid Spin expecting me to switch, but since I can't afford to lose my Magcargo just yet I switch into my generic water counter, Ampharos.


Riverside switched in Ampharos (lvl 100 Ampharos ?).
Tentacruel used Rapid Spin.
Tentacruel blew away the pointed stones!
Ampharos lost 2% of its health.

Ampharos is hurt by poison!
Ampharos lost 6% of its health.

Another misprediction! Darn! I wasn't expecting the toxic. I'm not sure why I left Ampharos in, even with the ground immunity there is NOTHING I could have done to it. With my only attacking moves being Discharge and HP ground. Oh well, time to switch to my general physical wall.

Riverside switched in Sandslash (lvl 100 Sandslash ?).
Pointed stones dug into Sandslash.
Sandslash lost 6% of its health.
Hippowdon used Stealth Rock.
But it failed!
The sandstorm rages.

Now, I know his Hippowdon has Stealth Rock, Toxic, Earthquake, and presumably Roar, so him using Stealth Rock again was probably just to make the most out of the toxic damage. Even though Earthquake probably would have been the best move to use in that situation to at least hit the switch in. But nonetheless, I stay in to spin away his rocks.

Let the "Spin and Switch" war begin!

Sandslash used Rapid Spin.
Sandslash blew away the pointed stones!
Hippowdon lost 3% of its health.

Tentacruel lost 12% of its health.

Okay, I finally got my rocks down again, but I'm in this risky Magcargo vs. Tentacruel situation again. Tentacruel has a rather decent SpD so I'm not sure how much I can do with Earth Power. But nothing on my team really wants to be on the receiving end of this surf so I have no choice really. Surely his STAB 4x surf would OHKO Marcargo, a pokemon with average SpD to say the least. Right!? Okay I'm going to go for it!

Marcargo you amazing lump of lava! *hugs* He takes it like a man and survives! Dealing back a really important critical hit to his jellyfish opponent!

Yus! His spinner is finally down, I can now set up stealth rock with certainty.

Okay, let's recap with the Team members I have shown: Glaceon , Magcargo, Pelipper, Ampharos (Toxic Poision =[) and Sandslash. With my wild card waiting in the wings!

And my opponent has shown an Azumarill , Blissey, Hippowdon and Tentacruel (now fainted), he still has two unknown pokemon.

Obviously I'm not going to let the only pokemon I have that can switch into Blissey with impunity die, now am I? So to Pelipper it is!

Sweet, he let me recover up. Magcargo is now pretty healthy, and I scored some damage on his Hippowdon what a tank! =] Naturally I'm not going to stick around, so I'm going to let my Physical Wall handle this sand-spewing Hippo.

Hippowdon used Earthquake.
Sandslash lost 26% of its health.
The sandstorm rages.
Sandslash is hurt by poison!
Sandslash lost 6% of its health.

Gah, over-prediction! I thought he would set up his rocks as he thought I would switch to Pelipper as I have done previously. If he keeps this up I'll lose Sandslash, and I can't let that happen, I need to keep his rocks off the field!

Ampharos lost 6% of its health.

So, a Gengar huh? It's carrying a life orb which is unfortunate, I was hoping for a choice item so I could use Regigigas' immunity to my advantage and perhaps stall him a little bit. Hmmm, there is not much I can do with this team to counter Gengar except let it die through both Sandstorm and life orb recoil.

So, showing my wildcard pokemon, Regigigas probably isn't worth it at this point of the match. Nothing can handle Gengar at the moment, Glaceon and Magargo lose to Focus Blast, Pelipper to Thunderbolt and Sandslash has terrible SpD so there is only one logical choice. I'm going to have to use Ampharos as a death fodder.


Ampharos has been pretty underused this battle. Oh well. Sorry Amphy. :(

Gengar used Shadow Ball.

Hmm, he really wants that Magcargo gone! Thought I'm not going to let that happen. Now he's probably assuming that I'm going to switch, as I think he will Earthquake me for 4x Super Effective damage. So I bring in Sandlash, which is already inflicted with a status and doesn't mind an Earthquake, so it's relatively safe. :)

Pointed stones float in the air around the foe's team!
The sandstorm rages.

Crap! Steath rock! *facepalm* I completely forgot about that when I used Sandslash as a death fodder! Argh, how could I be so foolish!

With those rocks, it really cuts down my stalling time. He still has one pokemon in the shadows. But what is it? Hopefully not a Salamence, I really can't handle that in my team's current state!

Props:
-Magcargo's general epicness! That thing is so underused!
-Tight battle, especially during the mid-battle phase, lots of prediction and switching.
-Gengar's threatening sweep.
-Interesting teams.

Slops:
-Many misprediction on my side. Can't be perfect huh? :)
-Some mistakes from me; namely using knock off instead of frustration with Regigigas, and using substitute after not reading the slow start ending message.
-A 'So-so' opponent

Thanks to Mountain Dewgong for the editting! :)

Alot better than the other one you posted. I guess it was more entertaining cause this time you were beating the odds instead of just falling in with them. Whatever the reason, though, it kept me entertained, it was cool to see stuff like Magcargo surviving Surf (seriously, how the hell......he has 50/80 special defenses) and using Recover. Really nice pictures too, where did you get those?
Click to expand...

Do not forget Sandstorm and Magcargo's Rock typing, which let him enjoy the Sp. Def boost... but anyway I was impressed too when he survived the squid's onslaught. Other than that, you should thank your opponent was - honestly - not that great, and especially did not have a good sweeping potential. Any kind of Dragon Dancer (ok, maybe not Altaria, Charizard or Lapras - but you got my point) or some serious Swords Dancer like Lucario would have destroyed your team if used properly. Moreover, I can't understand why you used Magcargo when, even in NU, Cradily outclasses him so badly (the fossil plant gets Recover, too)...
 
So... he shown Gengar... with Gengar out I could switch to Regigigas to stall him a bit (To make him take a little damage from Sandstorm) but I wanted to keep Regigigas in secret, plus Regigigas movepool it's very, VERY poor and he don't learn any physical super-effective move against Ghost except Knock off (with 20 base power)
Click to expand...

This is one part that's wrong, Regigigas can learn Zen Headbutt, a Psychic move that is Super Effective against the Poison half of Gengar.
 
What a strange team with hail + sandstorm.
This wasn't awful, but it wasn't the best. Well done considering english is your second language.
 
Personally, I liked the warstory a lot.

But I still have my criticism. Your opponent wasn't the greatest, and you made a few mispredictions - a lot less then him though. If he had an NU team as well, it would have been 6-0 you.

And next time, try to add a few more comments. I know you have language, and keyboard issues, but let us into your head a bit more, instead of simply re-narrating the log (not that you did the latter).

But I suppose the negatives are outweighed by the sheer coolness of raping an OU team (even if it sucked) with an NU one. Good job.
 
Thanks to Mountain Dewgong :]

And to all who liked it!

Anyway I'm off from this Warstory thing, seems like I'm not good for this xD

Lol that's great constructive criticism.... Did you want to say anything remotely useful or nice on this thread or did you just feel like posting to down the writer? If you didn't realise the author is not fully english.... Good warstory btw good creative movesets against a mediocre opponent just proves how effective NU/UU can be used to good effect.

Not the best plot. Try to look for exciting battles with good predictions and stuff like that which makes readers get enthralled and hooked onto it.

GL with writing you warstories i've been enjoying them

Just a statement: You don't have to be born / live in a country to know how to interact and write flawless with the said country's language. Look at me - I wasn't born in a country where english was the #1 language, but I can still interact with you all, can't I? English is an international language, and if you don't know english that good, you shouldn't blame your nationality. If you type bad, you're just not the type for posting entire threads (at least untill you learn to type in english reasonbly well).
Sorry if it's a bit out of place, I just felt that it's important to clearify that =/.

Anyway, about the warstory:

The english wasn't perfect, but I understand that problem. It was really nice to see NU pokemon outclass standard OU's, and just goes to show you how smogon was wrong by putting them in NU (or just shows you that they do have uses). The battle was so-so, with a lot of mistakes and 'n00bish' moves, but I had the urge to read on anyway. The lack of pictures and the display of persentages really hurt the understanding of the battle (like knowing how much HP did Gengar or Regigigas had here and there...), but oh well...
I hope this advice helps you with your future warstories ;)
 
I won't comment on your english, i think you've had enough of that. I enjoyed the story though, its a good reminder to people that a team of OU standards is nothing without good synergy and strategy backing them up.
 
You are verging on rude there, warstories are very time consuming, and take a lot of effort. Unless you happen to be an experianced expert, I surgest you shut up.

Ok, there have been someone who got their first warstory archived, but just because your first warstory is average (I did not mean bad - just average) you should not give up. If there is something I may suggest, next time try a more established team, like a sort-of-standard Bulky Offense or something like that. It would give you more chances of having a Warstoryable match than using NU. What I mean is: most times, people you will beat with such a team will necessarily be just average players, and will not give you that kind of match people enjoy to read throw. As others may have suggested, a good Warstory should at least highlight some kind of prediction or strategy from either sides going on through the eintire match in order to enthrall readers from beginning to the end. Read the last archived Warstory by Eo Ut Mortus and you'll see what I'm talking about.

@youknowwhoitis: No one has asked you to read this, I think. If you did not like this, or do not have any suggestion to make, there's no need to post. Next time, try to be more constructive.
