    10:20 Emergency exit goes, then volt switch made a switch for some reason too, which it shouldn't, and then the team of Golisopod chose a move and hit it on the switch in from the volt switch
    Also, where do I find the bug report page?
    Thanks in advanced, and happy new year!

    Turn 18: Zekrom uses Volt Switch, Emergency Exit activates, Volt Switch is prevented from switching (which is how Emergency Exit is supposed to work)
    Turn 19: Zekrom switches to Dragalge, Venomoth uses Sludge Bomb

    Everything in there is working as intended, as far as I can tell.

    yep
    my bad

    Oh, one more thing for now.

    Would regular user-made rooms ever return as a feature to Showdown as it was before?

    Hi! Do you know Serene Grace is coded in PS to multiply the probability of quick claw activating for attacking moves?

    I digged everywhere -- the only thing I saw was that SG boosts King's Rock/Razor Fang flinch chance on moves without an inherent flinch capacity, so I assume the same is true for Quick Claw.

    Scenario: SG Togekiss uses psychic while holding Quick Claw = 40% chance priority AND 20% Spdf drop chance?
    Zarel
    Zarel
    Serene Grace does not currently apply to Quick Claw activation chance. Are you saying it should? Marty?

    Marty
    It's not and it shouldn't; Quick Claw is not a secondary effect.

    I know u probably wont but, I want a custom avatar. I know i need to "earn" it but, I would like one. Is there any way i can help u and get a custom avatar? thx.

    Not by asking, no.
    I know it's not the place to write it, but I looked for bug threads and only found one and it is locked at the moment. There is a bug with the ability Illusion. When a mon with Illusion gets OHKOd it dies in team preview, but the mon it was making itself look like dies too, and then when you send it out again there are 2 of them in team preview.

    That's from over half a year ago. That bug was fixed long ago.

    Or maybe I remember wrong...
    Next time it happens ill save the replay

    zarel my boy, could you remove air balloon rotom-fan from the randbats and replace it with something else?
    Zarel
    Zarel
    I don't make decisions for randbats. I've repeatedly asked TI to replace it with Ring Target, but it still hasn't happened.

    ring target trick rotom sounds fun
    Hello, may a solution to the endless battles be to implement a draw button on the ladder alone but not for tours? This way, we get to actually test it out, we don't piss off tour players, and for things like OLT it can be disabled. Furthermore, tours tend to be an environment where both parties can agree to a draw anyway verbally and have it mean something, whereas ladder is the opposite.

    Again, before you kill me, I realise that a draw button does not solve the problem that endless games still exist. But, to reiterate, it deals with the bulk of the issue until a concrete solution is found, which i think is better than letting it sit.
    Zarel
    Zarel
    The concrete solution will not be found if people use workarounds like that. In the end, the problem is that OU is a bad game because people don't want to fix it. Perhaps you can help convince them by not playing OU.
    Machiavelli
    Oh well at least we tried... On an unrelated note, what's your favourite meta, if any?
    not that big of a deal, i thought it would be an under 10 minute job. don't worry about it.

    Hey Zarel!
    Could you introduce this avatar in Pokemon Showdown? In the link is the original image and the other is resized to 80x80, both with transparency.
    I think it's a nice avatar so that everyone can enjoy it in Pokemon Showdown.
    I want to emphasize that I do not want it personalized for me, which is for the entire Smogon community.

    Thank you very much, I hope your answer.

    i think it's usually better to try and solve ur problems with people by talking to them instead of casually slinging their name around in threads where their name has no business being. let me know where/how i did you wrong because i legit forgot what happened
    Pearl

    anyway, i'm sorry if i ever made any joke at your cost that ended up hurting your feelings. i'm the sort of person who has a hard time knowing when to stop sometimes and i'm sad that things couldn't have been sorted out peacefully. i obviously respect what you and most of what i do is for the well being of our community (although, like i said, my humor sometimes ends up not pleasing everyone and i'm not talented enough to create a whole simulator from scratch), so i hope that you can reconsider your stance towards me.

    Ok, so a few nights ago I had dream about you... you personally locked me for a week because a bunch of users (mainly Brandon) convinced you that I created some meme that made fun of Justin Bieber; after you locked me, Brandon pm'd me saying "you won't be harassing anyone else from now on."

    So I'm jw if I ever DO happen to create a meme making fun of justin bieber, if you will be angry with me or something...

    >.<

    Zarel
    lol, I don't mind memes.

    hello I have a pretty complicated case about someone ddosing me during ladder games. I fully understand that it's pretty difficult to do something like that without you detecting it, but i've dc'd twice in the past 2 days while ive been battling the same player for short periods of time and reconnecting as soon as i lose to timer.
    Wanka
    Wanka
    my connection was spot on for the rest of the day and is spot on today after it happened again so im tripping out. Everyone ive talked to agrees it's suspicious so id thought id run it by you and ive run it by a global mod as well. if u can look into this i'd appreciate it
    Zarel
    Zarel
    That sucks. I'm not sure if there's anything we as staff can do about it, though.

    Np was worth a shot

    also thanks for the global voice

    Hello, i'm just wondering where the idea of a game limit stands, which is to say, what happens when a game unrealistically goes on forever - 5000 turns, 10 hours, etc. As it stands, a stall vs stall matchup is an endless cycle between 2 Regenerator pokemon, which even with maximum hazards on the board is a stalemate.
    Machiavelli
    The only way for a stall vs stall matchup to end is through braindead mistakes or a win condition (set up pokemon, for example). This is true for almost all tiers, as almost all tiers have good defensive Regenerator pokemon, but particularly the lower tiers, whose power does not match the defense, unlike in ubers.
    Machiavelli
    I'm not going to present any debate, I'm just curious after looking at the policy review threads, who would "need to make a decision about this" as you wanted? Right now it is not being discussed to my knowledge, and something desperately needs to be done as it is a fairly common conundrum even outside of stall, and has happened to me twice over the course of a week. I do not think "bring a setup pokemon on stall" is a good response, I think this is a bigger problem that needs to result in some limit on the length of games.
    Zarel

    The consensus among OU tournament players is that it's a good thing for it to go on forever, and that I'm not allowed to change that.
