I am seeing this too.

With the advent of GTS trading, breeding, etc., I fail to see why the typing or relative strength of starters even matter anymore outside of rival fights (and even then it's incredibly easy to simply outlevel the encounter or two switch to a random Floatzel or whatever). The games have always...

To be fair, the Blissey/Chansey line are based on eggs and nurses, Exploud on rabbits/mice (depending on evolutionary stage) and speakers, and Wigglytuff on rabbits* (Jigglypuff on balloons). * fits with the concept of the moon stone evolution - while Europeans and Americans tend to see the...

Ghost/Steel with Levitate. Fighting/Flying Farfetch'd evolution (near-same sprite except DW leeks/onions and a karate-kid bandana!).

I think the best solution is simply capping damage at 25%-12.5%-6.25%. Just make it ignore quad-resists/weaks. Introduction of an ability that absorbs Rock damage might also help (absorbing SR at a rate of +12.5%), as one poster above suggested, provided that said pokemon is at least halfway...

Basically this. I think people assume that GF has its finger on the metagame's pulse when, really, they don't. At least not to the extent that some of the serious competitive gamers do. That said, I hope they've been paying enough attention to nerf SR in gen5.

Seconded. I was characterized as relatively funny (if not somewhat cynical) and thus the majority of my class knew me. My time in high school was not some type of slip into obscurity wherein I wallowed in self-pity over my sad lot in life. On the contrary, as noted, I was "popular" (perhaps...

I just took the LSAT on Monday. Fun stuff. Like you I'm aiming for top6 schools. In my preptests I was picking up 180s, but I felt the real deal was a bit harder than I anticipated it would be. Plus I choked on the first section initially (though I think I managed to correct my mistakes) which...

My high school was a piece of shit. Insanely competitive, all anyone (including myself) ever did was study. It's ranked on the top 100 HS in the nation (yeah what a joke) but who really cares? I have no fond memories of that hellhole. About the only positive thing is that it prepared me well for...

Serebii recently put up a rather simplistic "guide" of sorts. There is also another guide on the livejournal community, though the link eludes me (and, as I am in class at the moment, I can't dig it up - I'll see about doing this when I get home). Usually, event pokemon (Jirachi/Celebi/etc.)...

I agree with Mekkah - when I think of what constitutes an uber, I think of a poke that is so influential that if it were allowed in standards 8 to 9 out of 10 teams would essentially be forced to incoporate a specific counter for it. Moreover, it should be able to significantly affect your team...
