Smogon Simple Questions Thread

hello, what are the requirements for being able to use the sandbox feature? i have heard full account registration, which im pretty sure i have done, but it says i have insufficient permissions.
 
When Champions releases, will it replace SV as the default game gen 9 formats are based on, with all the legality changes (such as Megas returning) that come with it? Do we not have enough information yet?
 
No information has been provided as of right now to imply that Champions will be such a fundamental change to how the Pokemon franchise operates as to necessitate changing Smogon's philosophy.

Can you clarify what you mean by "changing Smogon's philosophy"? The way I saw it, it would just be like ORAS replacing XY upon its release.

Paraphrased/summarized, we focus on the mainline series of games that have inter-connectivity and, the ability to play with each other in battles over an internet connection. This is why something like Legends ZA (no pvp) or Pokemon BDSP (no inter-connectivity) were not considered "the main current generation". Nothing has been shown about Champions that would imply it is within the mainline series of games or that it is as equal (or superior in ORAS's case) next stage to SV in the way that HGSS or ORAS were to BW or XY. Champions isn't a remake of a previous game that is adding something (be it HGSS move tutors, ORAS new 'mons/megas, whatever) to the generation - everything shown so far appears to just be a "here's a novel new way to play online matches, now on your phone" as far as I can tell.
 
Hey there, I've recently gotten back into playing a bunch on PS and was wondering if there's hope of an old name retrieval. My old PS acc is of the same name as this forum one (Seech), and was last used like back in 2010-2011 - I tried using the in client help and it just led me to a 'You do not meet the criteria for the form', but doesn't tell me what that criteria is. Thanks!
 
Is https://smogonu.creator-spring.com/ still associated with Smogon? I can see people advertising https://teespring.com/stores/smogonu (which redirects to the other URL) a few years ago on the site, but either other posts with it have been deleted or there's just been nothing for four years. https://shop.smogon.com/ seems to be the new storefront. Is the older one still in use?
We're migrating over everything to the new one and have been deleting some newer links to the old one, just haven't shut it down yet.
 
Hi, is there a possibility to remove my original alias from my profile title? (the "formerly [name]" thing). It's been years since I changed it and I can assure no one knows me by that old name. I actually started being active here after changing it
