As much as Chaneyless has grown, and is obviously now going to be a big part of the game, I do think it is only the next evolution. I don't personally think the game's meta ends with aggressive Chanseyless teams. I just think Chaseyless exposes that the old Chansey teams weren't all they were...

We play games to have fun, and sometimes banning things for the sake of "competitive integrity" takes the fun out of the game. Broken stuff is legitimately fun to use, and as long as there is counter-play, and the broken strat isn't just a straight up guaranteed win, we should caution on the...

Lead Dodrio might be better. First turn hyper beam crits are no joke. Alakazam no like. (A few players on ladder actually run this, and it's funny just how often it works on me. That damn pokemon is so good at critting.) Also: Tuaros and Snorlax??? Where my special walls at?

Here are some replays of me using the four starters team. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-2249262332-ty2xjwxgxyjnaff29hb27mq8mp51fpbpw https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-2248345351-cbjkquczqw4ji81poazu2pe5ft9k90cpw?p2...

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-2159938843 it took me forever to find this, but I remember watching that account play, and I stole the team in this replay from him. The team in this replay is the only one I ever saw that account use, and I thought it was interesting. Never knew it...

Yeah, it wasn't meant to belittle you (you're obviously really good), and I have no desire for the title "greatest of all time." I'm good enough to put up a fight and win against anyone like you said, and I'm as knowledgeable about the game as anyone. If you want to jerk it to ephemeral...

No. I've played both of them a lot, and Ebola is not as good. No hate toward Ebola. Ebola is a fine player who could be really amazing and consistent if he really locked in, but yeah, it's just the truth that he isn't as good as of now.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-2331502592?p2 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-2329625088 I haven't entered a tournament in years (I've only entered two life time. Won one. Lost one.) and it personally, to me at least, didn't feel different from playing the same guys on the...

Topping the ladder in and of itself is not difficult. I've seen people with gxes in the 70s that have topped it. An inconsistent player can go on a lucky streak. But doing so at a very high elo (1700s say) and at a high gxe (above 90) is difficult, and most have never done it. I've topped the...

Holy shit. I haven't gone through these replays in a long time. But man... Getting a 90 plus gxe with a 1700 elo rating was not easy back then guys... this dude was insane https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-482353192?p2 Against Marco for the 1712 (TURN 13 FOR THE CHOLASKI SPECIAL)...

There is no authoritative criteria. You sound like you have what is called impostor syndrome. The truth is that you don't need to do anything to justify who you are or what you love. The way you are and the way you love what you love is valid already. There is nothing for you to prove.

To add: Cholaski most recently was active under the account, The Weezing Wonder. Many of you played him. I know that's him, because I was watching The Weezing Wonder play live, and I said to him, "Hey, that team you're using was used by a player named Cholaski years ago. Ever heard of him?" He...

Cholaski is a funny name. It's fun to say. As an excuse to say it more, I'm going to make a random post. No one but me is going to care about the following schizophrenic post, but I have no where else to say any of this. So I will say it here just for fun. 90 Plus Gxe was a player who was most...

And btw, it seems I am helping, if even in a small way. Someone messaged me on here privately to tell me that after I made a post speaking of Chanseyless teams, that they saw a correlative increase in Chanseyless teams on the ladder, just as an example. And I do think that the play-style you use...

Hot take, but I don't care about tournaments and think they are held in too high esteem. The only thing to gain from tournaments is some vague notion of "legacy." But legacy doesn't much matter in gen 1; just look at GGFan if you don't believe me. I've played everyone here. I've taken games from...
