Heysup

Can you give me the OP of this thread, I asked the author(metric) if he would mind me continuing the analysis as it was left around for awhile. He said yeah(check my vm for proof) so if you could give me the OP or should i make a new thread? thanks

Hey,

Can you check my Pichu analysis? I've edited a lot of helpful suggestions, and I think its ready for you to check it.

I know you have. Appreciate it, thanks.

(If, after you look it over, you could convince the others to take a look too that would be great. -w-)

Hey man, I know you've got a lot of people asking you to check stuff, but I unfortunately have to throw one more bundle on the load. :0 I need approvals (or reasons why it can't be approved, at least) for my Trapinch LC analysis. I can't seem to get the thread any attention whatsoever, can you give me some suggestions on how to get it noticed by the other QC mods? :0 I'm sorry to keep bothering you about this, but as far as I know, you're the LC mod who hates me least... >.>

Heysup, could you check out my Hypno update please?

Heysuppppp, can you please check my Dragonair UU analysis. thanks a bunch!!

a pro tip (not sarcastic for facetious or trying to burn anyone, serious):

if you want smogon PO, get everything one needs to start a server ready, in one place, and easy to reference so someone can impulsively set it up one day, rather than demanding people start talking about it. "be the change you wish to see"

Thanks for yet another intelligent post that refrained from personal attacks or any kind of condescension.

As for the "on topic" question: I don't think we should use the simulator right now for Gen 5 because it seems like at best the developer's integrity is questionable. (The whole "fake virus" thing, the whole "i'm not releasing gen 5 oh wait i am oh wait i'm not" thing, etc. are what I base this value judgement on)

With more time, we may find that either he doesn't pull this shit anymore or that we are more desperate to simulate Gen 5 than before.

All of my "assumptions" are things you could pretty easily research or look up to verify.

You can't drag an argument in one direction and claim I'm off topic when all I'm doing is directly addressing what you said. If you don't think what you said hand any merit as to whether or not implementing Gen 5 via this software is a good idea, why did you say it?

Many of your assumptions used to form your point are false.

First, PO is slightly less accurate than PL/SB.

Secondly, "intelligence" is not a simple linear thing. I'm a very intelligent person yet I've been banned 5 or 6 times from Smogon. Programming a Pkmn simulator doesn't mean you're smart enough to not randomly decide to announce to the world that you put a fake virus in your program, for example.

Third, he stated no reasons in his "we're pulling back a feature we already released instead of working out the bugs while people use it" post.

SB2 is absolutely not an indication of the time it will take to implement PL, because SB2 was a complete server and client rewrite designed to implement multiple Pkmn mechanics. Because of that long task done before, implementing a new set of mechanics will go a LOT faster because the entire program isn't being rewritten

A lot of your assumptions come from a misunderstanding of what it takes to program a Pkmn simulator and engine

I'm mostly saying that a guy who does that kind of stuff probably isn't bright enough to write a simulator.

I'm sure we'll end up with a PO server or something in a few months anyway, but I am just really hesitant when he does stuff like randomly decided to just not release the 5th gen for no apparent reason (I read the thread and couldn't figure out why he didn't want to?) or put fake viruses in his program. I think the difference between now and not having a Shoddy server is that we resisted Shoddy for a year when we didn't have our own program in active development and stuff. Do keep in mind our server was mostly successful because we had DJD to program for it.

i'm not going to post in the thread because i shouldn't but i do have to ask

how is "I PUT A FAKE VIRUS IN MY PROGRAM TO SCARE YOU" a political reason to not use a program again

Want to battle now?

Yeah something came up and I had to leave, sorry about that...
You can take the win if you want, otherwise we can do same teams/moves if that's fine with you?

Can you check my Purugly analysis whenever, thank you.

I don't have a problem with that ideal. My main problem with Stone Cold is that he's actually done things with the intent of hurting our website - so why should we let him have a voice in how we run?

it's a big deal because they get to decide how smogon does things, not because of recognition or contribution or whatever. it's not just "posting rights"

Um, about the Washibon analysis...

I don't think that I can get Brave Bird at level 5, because it's always male. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Question, there was an analysis for an OU Lead Hariyama that seemed to be doing decently with the powers that be in QC a few days ago, but it seems to have disappeared. Can you link me to it, please? It was there two days ago, bt now I can't find it.

*EDIT*

Nvm. I found it in the uploaded section.

Could you bounce onto IRC(if you're not in class) for a bit? I'd like some help...

Broham, can you look at my Skuntank analysis whenever you can. Thanks!!

Hey, could you check out my Shuppet analysis please?

Was just reading the komatana analyses you wrote, and something stood out:
"Komatana is one of the most dangerous Pokemon in Little Cup, because only a couple Pokemon can switch into a +2 Sucker Punch"

You didnt quite think that trough did you ;)?
