This might be more appropriate in the ShoddyBattle question thread, but I figure it's more of a gameplay ethics sort of question. Is there any problem in terms of tournament rules with me switching the sprites ShoddyBattle uses to ones I've created? Specifically, ones where I have written...

Reading this thread really makes me want to program a competing AI that could challenge yours, but I don't have the time, programming skill or knowledge of Pokemon. What it also got me thinking of, though, when people were comparing it to chess, was Gary Kasparov's idea of computer assisted...

I like your analogy, but I think it's a bit off. Counting cards is taking advantage of information that all players have witnessed and simply organizing it more effectively. It would be analogous in Pokemon to taking notes of which attacks your opponent has used. It's banned from casinos for the...

No, because they aren't different species. Pokemon have unique species, so they evolve.

I think/hope time travel will be a component of this game, maybe I've mentioned that here before. They've been hinting at it a lot, and going back to a prehistoric world with wild fossil Pokemon and tons of dinosaur Pokemon would be awesome.

Yeah, my only thoughts were: -Ruin Scizor's technician (hardly worth it, I think) -Maybe mess up some streamers (but you'd still have to turn off their weather, they just couldn't bring it back) I dunno. I might mess around with it. It just seems really cool, is all.

Ah, but my understanding is that Gastro Acid stopped working when the opponent switched, whereas Worry Seed worked until the battle ended or the foe used some other thing to get their ability back.

Does anyone use Worry Seed? Is it even remotely viable? Seems like it might be able to shut down some Pokemon but it's also a wasted turn/moveslot.

I'll be shocked if it isn't fully playable on the original DS, but I wouldn't be surprised by a Gold/Silver situation where it's playable on the new DS (if it is happening) with some graphical boosts. Or maybe they'll do something like the first Pokemon Dungeon game and have one version for...

Doesn't Golduck have Cloud Nine, which is essentially the same thing? I think we do need an OU-level Pokemon that can do it, but maybe if more stream-weather abilities become prevalent in OU, his new usefulness would bring him up.

I'm sure this has been suggested, but I'm in favor of multi-type attacks. They would get double STAB on Pokemon with both of their types and do up to 8x damage if the opposing Pokemon was doubly weak to both types. This would be partially balanced by the fact that they would meet with twice as...

I think one of your images is broken, you'll probably want to rehost... Anyways, I haven't used Keyhole outside of watching One Piece, but it's a pretty cool program. I might tune in on the slight chance that info is given.

I remember thinking the Wormadam formes were dumb-looking hyper-secret Legendaries, because they showed up at the very end based on the sprite data.

Gen V legendaries I see as being the lords of good and evil, some sort of yin and yang thing. I dunno.

Are you sure you're in your accounts folder under Documents and Settings and not just in your documents folder?

I've been running Manaphy with tail glow, grass knot, surf and ice beam. It's been moderately successful as a general water tank, but i'm having some difficulty sweeping with it. Even after a few tail glows it has trouble taking down counters.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I heard other metagames, like the Japanese and non-English European ones, have drastically different tier lists. Is there any place to see these, including translated explanations of placements? I think it would be an interesting read.
