Now would probably be a very good time to point out that we have very little idea what items exist in the game unless there's been some revelation. We do know you can't transfer items from old games so all items have to come from 5th gen. We don't know if Soul Dew exists anymore which could...

This thread's main purpose is to be an information combing, taking the most interesting information from a variety of sources and compiling it to help in trying to figure out some early theorymon. It is my presumption moving into this generation that all Pokemon and moves are going to be...

Heal Bell and Aromatherapy affect both sides but probably won't work. The partial trapping moves (Wrap, etc.) rely on both sides and are end of turn effects. Attract depends on both of you but probably wouldn't work. For some reason, Uproar working makes me think of Bide. How about Block/Spider...

I ordinarily wouldn't post, but this sort of idea is especially bad. There are a lot of theoretical and practical reasons for this. The biggest theoretical problem is that it ignores the simple reality. If you lose a competitive game, ever, you deserved to lose. If you didn't deserve to lose...

I suggest playing non-broken games where that kind of abuse is simply not possible. In a well designed game, there are no possible actions by other players that "break" the game. The worst they can do is "mess around" (like spamming taunts in brawl), and that's when you just slaughter them with...

Basically, you are making the following argument. p1. The amount of time between two fixed points in time must be finite. p2. There was a first day in time. p3. If time extends infinitely far back, the amount of time between the first day and the present point in time is infinite. c. Time does...

Name one thing that only a father can do for a child that a mother cannot. Name one thing that only a mother can do for a child who is not an infant (in other words, not breastfeeding or giving birth) that a mother can do for a child that a father cannot. I am not saying to name things that a...

I want to jump back and move from a point a little bit earlier that I think sums up the way a lot of opponents of socialized health care think about the issue. The issue here is that health care is something that the private sector is having a lot of difficulty providing, and the reason can...

I don't see how people can really take "gay" so lightly when they are so actively discriminated against. Do you see how those absurd state constitutional amendments banning gay marriage always seem to get passed? The modern Jim Crow isn't black; he's gay. I don't think the argument about it...

The fact that McCain generally votes with Bush (Bush expressed a position on every major bill and, while you are correct that the president doesn't make the laws, he uses his influence to guide the legislature) is why I could never support him. Deck Knight likes to stump the value of...

How are you defining "free"? I really don't understand how breaking down human behavior to a chemical level is bad for the idea of freedom at all. Allow me to clarify. Let's say I possess the ability to "rewind" the universe to EXACTLY the same state it was in before (creating a parallel...

You can call them uber all you want; it doesn't make them broken. Anyway, I can't believe the horrible attitude so many of you people have about rulesets in general. Shaymin-s is a threat. The correct thing to do when faced with a threat is to attempt to defeat it. Try your hardest to defeat...

None of those Pokemon with the possible exception of Shaymin-s (who is untested) are broken, and they have poor synergy anyway. I doubt your "team" proposed would even do well; I think the refrigerator Rotom makes all four of them sweat actually. We don't have data about a lot of unevolved...

Obama seems likely to oversee a bigger reduction in military spending than McCain which is reasonably likely to negate any extra money he would spend on social programs. I think the current analysis is that neither are going to get this country into the green though; it's a pretty sucky time to...

All final forms are not done; Volbeat is a final form (I forgot him too when I listed them off... he's pretty forgettable). I know it's pretty worthless, but it would seem like a fundamentally bad idea to ignore a fully evolved Pokemon. Regardless though, I'll get that list ready, but we...

As far as I'm concerned, the topic in Stark Mountain is fine for confirming movepools. It's a lot less sloppy than the original sources of the databases; I'll tell you that! If a mistake is found later, it can just be fixed. For now, I'm not adding any Pokemon from a family to the list I'm...

I have been working on a mod file Shoddy Battle can use based on the research in the move tutor topic, and I was discussing with Colin how we're going to handle adding the new Pokemon (those new forms are new Pokemon as far as Shoddy Battle is going to be concerned). The current plan with them...

Once I have access to a complete list of move tutor compatibilities (or even just raw data like from that rip of early DP), I'll put together a mod file that the Official Server will use. It will be publically available (probably posted in a topic here) so the Smogon Server can use it as well.

I've been saying this for a very long time, and it's pretty much correct. It was true as early as RBY Tauros (I wasn't actually around the community when RBY was the game, but I've played it since), it was true again with Tyraniboah in RSE, and it's still true in DP. It's not that having one...

At least Deck Knight has the guts to say what he thinks even if it is completely insane... I agree with the posters who said that religion is really more of a problem than a useful force in this modern age. Islam is the "worst" right now in the sense that more people are being trained to...
