PLEASE BRING METRONOME BATTLES BACK~~! THEY WERE MY FAVORITE KIND OF BATTLES! :(
Thanks for the quick reply.Sorry but the format isn't coming back as a ladder format. TI's reason being there is a minimal level of competetiveness/skill involved, even when compared to say monotype random battles. The format will still be challengeable though.
I don't see any problems with just re-releasing it as a ranked ladder like it was before, as it is just more satisfying to watch your elo go up and down as you play, but that could also work.Since it's largely non skill based, maybe make an unranked ladder?
Don't you think that's exactly the reason why people like the format? It's just a tier where you can relax and have fun, if your opponent in randoms has Mega Mewtwo Y you can complain, but in metronome you can't really complain about anything.Sorry but the format isn't coming back as a ladder format.

I would suggest asking the Random Battles room to host more tours there. I'll join you in that cause; they used to have a lot of Metronome tours. However, they don't like people asking for tours, so you would have to be subtle about it.can we at least have a chat room for this so that we can find online players easier??

Someone with an high rank must have the motivation or capable of an such an famous gamemode
That's not nearly a good enough consolation, because you can't find some quick matches when you want to. I really do not see a reason why metronome battles should not be allowed back as a ladder format, because I see The Immortal's reasoning as invalid (as I have explained in above post) and there are CLEARLY plenty of people who want it back.I would suggest asking the Random Battles room to host more tours there.

I agree with fwqef that we should nominate Flametix.View attachment 180327
It seems like since Ridaz retired, there is not even someone in charge of this metagame. Hence why the demands are not being answered for 2 weeks again. Can we get a leader for this metagame ASAP? I do not know how this works, but I would like to recommend Flametix(doipy hooves) for the candidate since he is knowledgeable about the metagame and he has been contributing positively to the Smogon forums in the past.
One question....
Why the hell is the Metronome ladder GONE on Pokemon Showdown?!?
BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK! BRING IT BACK!

PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEE DO ITTTTT
Alright guys; spamming and threatening is not the right way to go if you want to prove that this should be back on the ladder. You should logically prove that it's not just a very vocal minority that wants it back. When the ladder was up, there wasn't much to innovate on. Even now after the steel ban, there hasn't been discussion on how to use the new toys at your disposal. You need to show that you guys are playing this meta because, from what I understood from the Random Battle staff, there aren't as many tours because people just don't have teams prepared for it. There's not much to manage over this meta (which is not an OM, as some people have been addressing it, hence why this is in this subforum)I'll never forget you HoeenHero
Ouch. Your "demands" were seen, just denied by TI, but, I've made a commit to put it back on the ladder. It'll be unranked this time thoughCan we get a leader for this metagame ASAP?
First of all, thank you so much for the news and I am very sorry if I offended you. Now, I would like to argue that bringing metronome back as a ranked ladder is better than bringing it back as an unranked ladder.Alright guys; spamming and threatening is not the right way to go if you want to prove that this should be back on the ladder.

This should be your chance to show that this is just not not a fluke.
Have you considered there wasn't discussion about how to use non-steel mons because the tier was removed from the ladder? And it's a given that people in the Randoms room don't have teams for it since they never have to make a team for any other randoms tier. I actually had a staff in that room tell me they don't do many Metronome tours because of the "focus on teambuilding". Anyway I'm extremely grateful that we have a ladder again, it's really what I look foward to when I go on showdown.Alright guys; spamming and threatening is not the right way to go if you want to prove that this should be back on the ladder.
