Wouldn't the weather starter be considered the King, because you have to keep it alive? And the Queen is the deadliest unit, so wouldn't the sweeper be the Queen? sorry for nit-picking. I have been using a defensive drizzle team to great success, but lately I've been getting my ass handed to me...

Although i am rather tempted to ban weathers to see the outcome, I still believe in allowing the new 5th gen weather users. We continue to patch an old soggy box. Every band-aid we put on our current progressively stagnant system, reveals a fracture on another aspect of the metagame, stepping...

Like everyone is saying, this isn't the same old Gen. 4, so why should it not change to meet the new challenges it is facing via voting? Hey dude, if your into bestiality, I wont judge you for that. But it is in my power to vote to make it legal or illegal. If i could just use your extreme...

lol, if only zelda were a pokemon.. k, i guess i understand that, but you can also recognize that we are using the same thought process as the previous gen, when the system should evolve to meet the new gen. People are afraid/too lazy for change, i understand that. People are busy too. So why...

Some users seem to tirelessly ejaculate the same "Slippery Slope" mentality despite the many examples and explanations provided. Most uber comparisons aren't valid because unlike Blaziken, the Uber was always really powerful. Blaziken got an optional new ability that made it uber. Nit picking...

Thank you for the explanation, i appreciate it. I suppose that came off a little defensive, but it was more annoyance at your ignoring the first part of my post referring to only Blaziken. Claiming speed boost broken was not my intention, but i suppose redundancy is unavoidable. I don't know...

hm, what if you have Victini, ditto and smeargle with transform, having a field of 3 Victini. And maybe with some gravity support? that would be cool to see Inferno hit(50% acc) and burn everything >:D..totally out classed by A LOT, but still fun to see

Because enough people complained about it to make it happen. Nothing is set in stone, but we're beating a dead horse(or green frogthing). Banning it would ruin defensive rain teams, etc.. The SwSw ban is a fantastic compromise, i think it should be left alone

You obviously read the beginning of my post, since you quoted it, and can clearly see that i was referring to Blaziken with Speed Boost being broken, NOT speed boost itself being broken. Unless you didn't read my post and are only nit picking for reasons unknown to me. Thank you again...

im not arguing for the allowance of speed boost blaziken at all. I'm arguing for the allowance of Blaze Blaziken and the assumed release of DW Chomp i wont be devastated if Chomp did gets the boot. Im not saying because Blaze Blaziken exists, that that some how makes Speed Boost okay. I have...

I can understand that. You're probably right in assuming that about the community. People are busy and whatnot. Work, school etc. The last sentence you wrote was a terrible assumption. Why would you assume that when I clearly support chomp and blaze. my ideal simulator would have all available...

With the release of Magic Bounce Espeon, i doubt Chomp wont be in the near future. If you go back a page or 2, you will see how ridiculous the slippery slope argument is. With proper moderation, there wont be a massive can of worms that come from the banning of abused ability+good pokemon. I...

Chomp and And defiantly Blaziken both have other abilities that don't make them uber. I don't understand what is so difficult. Just have team builder warn you that Pokemon+Ability is banned the same reason Wobb and Wynaut were banned in gen 4

I'd be ok with a blanket banning as well. Meaning chomp can still be used in OU, maybe in the same way swift swim is still available: 1.Chomp with SVeil on your team without TTar/hippo 2. Chomp on team without SV, but with Tar/hippo This means, like swift swimers, if your opponet is still...

Yoshi, im curious. How do you deal with sand veil Chomp? I myself dont have a problem with him(toxic spikes), but it's obvious that the evasion boost causes a lot of trouble to a lot of people, otherwise there woudnt be a need to test for so long. You wouldnt support a specific banning of...

sorry, i dont know how to quote. Texas, your argument sounds more on the side of banning Garchomp with Sand Veil rather than baning Chomp itself. Chomp has other abilities that keep it from falling over to Ubers. Garchomp is a very good pokemon with out sand veil, with SV it is uber worthy...

Yoshiken, i think removing the evasion clause would be a terrible idea. I am unfamiliar with real life tournament rules concerning banning, although i do remember Tytar and celebi being on a ban list along with obvious ubers. Perhaps the people at nintendo have banned them in order to find a...

wouldn't the new player eventually see the more developed side of smogon once they realize how unorganized and juvenile their supposed "better" teir works? Rather than see this as a popularity contest, see it as weeding out the novices until they come to the conclusion that smogon, a pokemon...

When it comes to banning pokemon, i, like many others, tend to take a macroscopic view of competitive battling. In a way, I'm a poke'socialist. If i can somehow get all pokemon into OU, then i see that as job well done. But, this idealistic dream has to reach a reasonable compromise. The last...

I predict the left one will be a grass type duck pokemon. Judging from the last two gen.s they have used bird-like pokemon, Torchic and Prinplup, so it's not too far-fetched to think they might continue. They have used a reptile/dinosaur esque beginer in every gen. aswell.
