    The distinction is paramount. Dex cuts don't improve the balance, it only makes balancing the game easier. GF is hopeless to manage that. Gaining control over the roster to shape the metagame at their whim, achieved nothing.

    I have a whopper. Put down the pitchforks! I'm *not* condoning the Dexit disaster. Right from the beginning I, in all honesty disagreed with keeping everything. I won't undersell the historical significance. GS was unique. Yeah RPG character import/migration was old hat (Wizardry etc), but...

    Media itt: movie/film discussion - Beware Spoilers

    Common themes for me are comics and robots, from the west or east. I'll note James Bond was a worthy mention with too many entries to settle on one. 1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) 2. Star Wars (1977) 3. Space Jam 4. The Empire Strikes Back 5. Batman (1966) 6. The Disappearance of Haruhi...

    A New Direction for Other Metagames

    If it hasn't been done yet, we could use guides about what qualities make up successful OMs and a workshop for community input on ideas. Limiting months wasted in vain is pretty important.

    I was looking at your Missingno info. Do you know more about why the Old Man trick doesn't work...

    I was looking at your Missingno info. Do you know more about why the Old Man trick doesn't work in Japanese games? Surfing on Cinnabar Island causes no wild Pokemon, but I've yet to see an analysis of the tile behavior change. Or related things like differences in how the player's name is stored...

    Smogon Usage-Based Tier Update: September 2014

    Quagsire deserves better than this. Unaware and Stockpile is a fun niche. Heck no, Espeon will wreck unprepared UU teams.

    Hackmons XY

    Well it's just a theory. I was trying to look at the issue from a point of view less likely to draw controversy.

    Hackmons XY

    I suppose classic hackmons revolving around Wonder Guard, can be used as an argument that too few strategies are viable to need a ladder. In that case I'd gauge community interest for unrated.

    XY OU Suspect Process, Round 3 - BATON PASS [READ POST #590]

    More or less what I was thinking. Prankster has a fair enough chance to check Speed Boost through status effects, but that's futile once the boosts are passed onto a Magic Bounce poke.

    Still Wont Work

    The client version doesn't support that command.

    Still Wont Work

    That only helps in browser, as far as I can tell. There is no refresh button on the download client.

    Zoom level

    It's a separate executable. The app is not in the usual sense running within Firefox. Windows task manager calls it "Pokemon Showdown.exe" as opposed to "Firefox.exe".

    Zoom level

    I'm using the Windows download version of Pokemon Showdown. When I logged in shortly before today's server restart, the window contents were zoomed-in. As if I hit "ctrl +" in a web browser. But this program is not a web browser per se, so trying "ctrl -" has no apparent effect. Anything I...

    Smogon: Why you came here and why you stayed

    I browsed the strategy dex here a few times to help me with battling online, but rarely visit the forums. "You last visited: July 16th, 2006 at 11:04 AM" I'm rather of an old school user. The current gen isn't too interesting to me. Very hard to find GSC opponents, it probably has the least...
