    Since the types that tend to be rated lower by most of us (Bug, Grass, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic and Rock) are all resisted by Steel, a nerf to their common enemy would go some way towards helping with their viability, even if it wouldn't solve their specific issues. To try and curb Steel's...

    First podium for Nico in 239 race starts. First podium for Sauber in F1 since Japan 2012 with Kamui Kobayashi, 264 Grand Prix ago. What a historic day for both driver and team. Sauber as an entity may no longer be the truly independent outfit it used to be, but how good is it to see them find...

    When people say "This gen was the best one", I don't think all of them are actually seeking to argue "This era of Pokémon was the greatest in every medium". Those two angles (mainline games only, and every piece of media) are both valid topics of discussion on their own, and depending on the...

    not to be pretentious but yall should really read this… C.H.A.T. (Come Here for All Talk)

    On the one hand, I think Cloud would be a shoo-in for your DLC 1 theme + the hero vs villain plotline because of his battle prowess ; plus he's got the benefit of being the most recognizable FF character for general audiences. I agree that recurring characters are often better-suited to...

    Thanks for sharing your roster idea with us, I wanted to share some of my thoughts about it : Pros : - I'm a fan of the heroes vs villains concept and the story mode ideas attached to it. It's a nice new direction for the series post-roster cuts to give it some kind of dedicated focus that...

    I was expecting a relatively dull race today at Imola, but it was a great GP : very entertaining throughout, and interesting strategy calls as well. Some quick thoughts about the race : Since I set my expectations too low for Imola, maybe the Monaco GP will be fun as well this year...

    The First(?) Official Smogon Crossword

    Haven't tried doing any crossword puzzle in a long while and this one was fun, nice balance of tour/battle/community trivia there. I needed about 22 mins to finish it ; I don't have the exact count because for some reason I chose to log on with my Google account *after pausing 11 mins in*, so it...

    Yeah those are good points. I used to like the Gen 5 sprites a lot more, but now I have to admit a lot of those animations look clunky, especially for non-Unovan mons. It feels like the devs behind the animation work had to conform to a universal template/method of doing idle animations that may...

    BW2 is also linear with side areas + previously inaccessible areas you can backtrack to and explore with certain HMs, but the way you traverse the region doesn't feel quite as on-rails as BW1. The one big change is the following :

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    Yeah it was on the previous sample teams list, the one before the current slate. It's a fun composition, too. I appreciate how Scarf Lando can put pressure on plenty of common leads with its good immediate power, and how it can afford to fast pivot out against Dragapult and Kyurem, and deal...
