Because they think its healthy for the game and want the game to go in that direction. Did they add options to turn off special/physical split, EVs, natures, and abilities, or items? No, instead they let you play previous gens if you dont like the new direction

What is your idea of "incredibly rare"? Personally, I've lived in US cities my entire life, and have felt more victimized and threatened by police than inner city citizens my entire life

that's what I'm wondering. are you serious?

psychic/thunderbolt CM jirachi is probably the thing i fear most. if i saw flash cannon/hp ground, i would probably just laugh

if this community even tests stealth rock, ill lose all respect for it as a serious competitive community. at that point you may as well just go ahead and make a full on mod of pokemon and play that, instead of calling it diamond/pearl/platinum. even if its the best and most influential move...

i am Ashton

does the Diamond/Pearl feature of being able to hit through the move Protect with the ability no guard (machamp) 50% of the time even ever work on shdody? ive tried it about 20 times now and its never hit through a protect. is it a known bug? am i just unlucky?

i used that exact moveset a long time ago, ONLY because I wanted to have fun with roll out and found bibarel to be the best user of it, but its not good. and id definitely use curse now over defense curl, who cares about the rollout boost when you can just boost your attack? also, chesto berry...

can abilities like poison point, static, etc, activate on your opponent from them hitting your substitute?

i played against him with this team quite a few times in the last few days and one of the teams ive been using and most often played him with happens to be very similar, and i'd say that the lead aerodactyl is very key because it lets him get a head start on other offensive teams while screwing...

Okay, so then why SHOULD you be able to win with a team of 6 guys who are weak to the fastest threat in the game? You act like this is a god-given right and if this isn't the case, then something is wrong. Trick room teams often need a fast guy or two for those in-between times. Rain teams...

i have played several high ranked players now who have outsped my max speed deoxys after 2 dragon dances with gyarados. this can be accomplished with an adamant nature. this spread also outspeeds base 125 baser's best efforts after just one DD, so it is well worth the investment for more than...

Lol, this is a strategy game. You're not supposed to be able to win using any 6 pokemon you want. If your offensive team cannot handle Deoxys, its just not a good team, because he is currently allowed. Whether or not it was a good team before Deoxys became unbanned is completely irrelevant...

yeah, sleep is definitely a centralizing force, but i did not say otherwise... i onlky went on to talk about OHKO/evasion. but i can see how you got confused. I menitoned sleep in one sentence, then went on to talk only about OHKO and evasion. so i made that confusing, and thats my bad. but...

my thoughts on this topic: I see Deoxys-S as more centralizing than Garchomp when I make my teams, and I see Wobbuffet as worse for the health of the game than Garchomp. Garchomp may perhaps be the best Pokemon in the game. Maybe a few mistakes were made in designing him, but i don't think...

huh? i was around for early DP, and my join date is like last week.. and im sure the man can fend for himself, but whether or not he realizes what other games skarm/bliss were popular in, it has nothing to do with knowledge of early DP. skarm/bliss WAS pretty damn common.

yeah substitute/liechi berry is a good combo to block status, scout, and later raise power, and aerodactyl is a cool pokemon. but it's the controversial Speed Deoxys that takes Aerodactyl's job, not anything else

Amen. To manyof us, Wobbuffet's inclusion makes the game worse, not better or more interesting. There are many of us who loved the Wobuffet-less game and try to play THAT game whenever we can. Wobbuffet is a very special pokemon, and should get special consideration. Simply going off usage...
