Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I think Mega Dragonite looks fugly because its body shape is almost exactly the same as its base form, just with poorly added features. The giant wings on its head are too distracting and makes the tiny wings on its back look unnecessary. According to the official website, the wings on its head...
Now that the suspect is over, I think it's time to unban Shed Tail. When Terastallization was banned and some Pokémon were being reintroduced and discussed, it was glossed over since it is not a Pokémon. But with a major mechanic that contributed to Shed Tail's brokenness leaving, it deserves to...
I get why some people are underwhelmed by the trailer but as someone who thinks that the Pokémon universe has way more possibilities than the usual formula, I am still very excited for this game. I don't really care that it's set in modern Kalos or that these are the starters or if there are no...
I'm surprised to see BW with so many votes despite its awful postgame leveling, as mentioned by some people in this thread. While I did enjoy the difficulty, I don't think the average player would have fun healing after every NPC battle against level 60+ teams. It felt like the developers got...
Something like giving players who can post in the qualified suspect thread anonymous usernames until voting opens. I noticed more personal insults and badges/trophies/elo arguments in previous threads so hiding posters' identities may lessen these types of posts. The poster's identity is more...
I remember seeing a suggestion before asking threads like suspect tests to be annonymous so people would focus more on the arguments of the person rather than their character or rank. Do you think you can apply this to the qualified suspect thread?
I've seen some of the "both sides" posts trying to defend certain right-wing ideas done very poorly. Anchor9 has one good "both sides" post, but I still have a few criticisms of it. I'm not an expert on politics, but I know how to understand and represent a person's ideas properly. I love...
It's not possible because of this line.
Curse is a move that targets the user unless the user is a Ghost-type. Since Taylor cursed "you", she has to be a Ghost-type. Taylor Swift is dead.
I disagree with a Raikou drop. Even though it competes with Zapdos, Thundurs-T, and Sandy Shocks, Raikou's speed is still very good in this meta. Kommo-o leaving also benefited it more compared to the previous three electrics.

I prefer the anime to not follow the traditional storylines of the games. They already did that with Ash. It also gives them a chance to expound on the possibilities of the Pokémon universe without being restricted to following in-game events.
One big critique I have for the new series though...
If you follow UU, you would know that Weezing was genuinely decent as a counter to Garchomp, who was banned recently. It answers both Garchomp's hazard and sweeping sets since it has Defog and blocks Scale Shot. Not a fan of it staying in UU, but it was just unfortunate timing.
Shame that Salamence might be broken because its best UU set for two generations is a very nice addition for the tier.

I used to have this view before, but then I watched The Last of Us and Percy Jackson tv series and surprisingly enjoyed the experience even when I played/read the original source. As long as the Netflix show changes something that makes them unique or more realistic from the original without...
