A-men, bro. And really, google search Unova New York, Gay Gamer is apparently what pops up first. Iunno. Personally, I'm from up-state, I've never even seen the city to judge for myself.Dude this is why I hate smogon sometimes, the air of elitism...
I hate that people have here have a mindset that pokemon must be 31/31/31/31/31/31/31/31 and bee 254 for 2 evs and no less and have this item and ONLY these moves and if by the off chance you lose, get ready to disconnect.
Pick what YOU want and remember have fun, the rules are NOT rules, they are guidelines in actuality and you should take them as such.
Also, OdeDischarge, if you really want to go for a top-tier team, I'm expecting to see a lot of Ferrothorn, Jellicent, Conkeldurr, Excadrill, Chandelure/Valcarona, and Haxorus/Hydreigon to the point where I'll hate them all.
