u lose the berry
Uh, so I was just messing around, and I turned on the “Mark all forums read” option, and now I want it off. Is there anyway for me to turn it off?
It's just a one time thing, once new posts are made you'll see them as unread again. You can't mark the forums as unread again, that's why there's a confirmation option.
How do I give myself a custom title?
u need a badge, although u can also get one as a prize
Also, there is another way actually. If you boost the official Smogon server a super moderator or admin (e.g. Nui) can give you a Custom Title but it only lasts as long as you keep the boost active. Afterwards they will remove it should you decide to move the boost else where.
How do we ask permission to hold a poll/discussion? Who do we ask?
I started a poll in RoA (Should Dig/Fly be unbanned in Gen 1) and it was deleted because I didn't ask permission first. I'm sure Smogon values it's forum member's opinions, so it would be great if we could allow people to talk about things and share ideas

Banned deucer.
Usually, people will ask Lutra first. However, there have been three threads regarding Dig/Fly already, so I'm not sure if it'd be approved. I know there's someone else who's wanted to give their takes on this specific topic as well. If all else fails, go to the first thread I linked and revive the discussion I guess?
I apologise for not asking - this should be made clearer. If there are three threads I think it would be constructive to have a poll so we can get a good idea of how people feel.

Two of the threads were locked for not asking and didn't really have any discussion. If you're interested in context, the first I linked was specifically for gathering opinions back in 2015, which I believe led to the ban on Showdown in the first place?
Generally though, I'd suggest asking Lutra to make a post. Make a constructive take on the topic when making the OP.
Or just ask any of the forum mods (me, Rage, Earthworm, Lutra, Ransei, kjdaas, Arai, FriendOfMrGolem120)
Victory Star and Wide Lens. Do they stack?
I.e.: Victini and a Rock Slide user.
Thanks in advance.

Where would I post things that have to do with Rom Hacks, an example being discussing Pokemon Unbound?
We don’t have a place for ROM hacks on our forum due to the technically illegal nature of them. We straddle the line with playthrough threads in the Orange Islands subforum, but we don’t have discussion threads about them, nor is it at all acceptable to share links of ROM hacks or other emulation tools even in a thread where you catalogue your playthrough.
Ah, okay. Makes sense. Thank you anyway!
Question, am I allowed to post a team on RMT SS other teams that is a different non official format with different format rules? I want to get my competitive Pixelmon team rated.
Responding to this late; sry if someone already answered this in the same way on page 108/109/110.
https://pokestudio.altervista.org/defevs.php - only includes mons up to gen 4 but u can insert custom stat spreads and it has a bunch of modifiers as well as the option to determine a nature if u don’t know what nature you want to use.
https://www.terresquall.com/apps/pokemon-ev-optimiser/ - better if u don’t need to calculate nature or look at the niche modifiers in the first one
You can estimate overall bulk quite simply, but it will only give you info for one side; I’m not sure how you’d find overall-overall by hand it, and really there’s not much point using it when you could just use one of the above tools instead. If you’re interested though:
As a rule of thumb: if you want maximum overall bulk instead of a benchmark, you want to try and balance the two defense stats. If there is one really low stat alongside two high stats, it is most efficient to dump all your leftover EVs into that stat (e.g. Toxapex has barely any HP and sky-high defenses, so it’s most efficient to max that out before looking at defensive benchmarks; Melmetal has high HP alongside pitiful SpD, so there’s no point dumping into HP; same goes for Guzzlord, Conkeldurr, Excadrill (this one’s a bit more specialised), etc.) In the vast majority of cases it will be best to just dump into HP, as moving 5 points out of HP just makes you faint 5 damage earlier, but in some fringe cases it is fractionally more efficient to balance stats before maxing out HP. The only cases you really need to care about are instances where something has an excessive HP stat and a deficient defensive stat.
Use one of these tools:

Code:
[Sp.]Def × HP ÷ 100, rounded to the nearest whole number

Is there a limit to the amount of folders you can have on PS? I can't tell if I'm just being stupid or not.
