I'm going to say Rhyperior. Not because he's BAD per say, but simply because with all the hype, I saw him as a harder hitting Rhydon that had more staying power. It's not true. He requires tons of defense EVs to have that staying power, because his trait simply does not provide special...

See, I don't use that arguement. I argue that the game is intended to be played in a pure state. The AR is an outside influence on the game, therefore it is "cheating". Hense, I don't use the AR, but I can, will, and do battle people who do. I get more enjoyment out of it my way. Then...

I would argue that using in-game cloning methods are "legitimate" as they are a way, without using outside measures, to duplicate a pokemon. Nothing is required except the game (and in the case of GTS cloning, a wireless connection, but multiplayer also requires that...). Whereas actually...

The only reason to train to 100 is if you plan on doing in-person battles without PBR, as for some inexplicable reason the in-person battle room doesn't auto level to 50 or 100.

A bit earlier today, while enjoying my brand new Nintendo Wii, I decided to copy my team to PBR and have a few random bouts. Largely they went quite well, however, I noticed something interesting about the movesets that my better opponents used, and the subtle ways they differ from the movesets...

I'd be more entertained by the prospect of a tournament that limited move choices: One of each move could really change the look and feel of the game, as you can no longer pack BoltBeam on everything, nor could you run the same kinds of setup moves. Just a thought. Might be entertaining at...

Ok, perhaps I don't feel bad beating them down, I _do_ feel bad taking the prizes away, particularly when I don't really have a need for them. To me, the competition is enough... or something altruistic like that. =D I did give out legit mews though, so now there's scrubs with legendaries!

Sean Alexander (Winner, Gamestop Capitola Mall) To be honest, I forfeited my prizes to the kids who were playing. I don't get much out of beating down on the lesser folks. The one person who actually knew of this place (and bothered to EV train) was taken out by a touch of bad luck, and a bad...

Honestly, PBR's only major flaw is the difficulty in changing players (rules resets take time in a tournament setting). Battling is faster paced, which has me certain that I will need to obtain wiis and things before I run a serious event of my own (date tba, but likely at Fanime Con's game...

Facinating! I think the concensus is largely correct: PBR is the only way to go, since it makes cheating much more difficult. While it would cut some folks (including me) out temporarily (as I expect it won't _always_ be so difficult to get ahold of a Wii), it's the way to fly, with both...

Excellent! =D I look forward to seeing it.

Dragontamer: A very solid list, although I'd actually like to see one more thing: A 0/255, 255/0 listing. It would be useful when attempting to figure out where a wall falls on both lists, since you'll likely have max HP but perhaps not max special defense with Blissey, for example. Knowing...

Pssh Gonk, you should have known better! Yes, it had Ice Beam. It was my Mewtwo. =P I chose against Amnesia because the grep team was actually intended to lose occasionally (required to, actually). Keep in mind, the Amnesia variant was very popular later, but the teams that we were intended...

Yeah, I totally wasn't thinking either. But legendary swapping has really worked for me, I got a fabulous Bold cresellia (only flaws are HP and speed, really), and some other nifty things off of there with enough patience.

There's some belief that the problem is Blissey: It's omnipresent, and an incredibly superior wall to the effectiveness of the physical walls. There's also the fact that the cool, new sweepers and things are all physical, as well as one of the easiest competitive pokemon to obtain and train...
