no special and physical moves were based on typesWas there a Special/Physical moves split in Gen 3 ?
What happened to the Indigo Plateau? I am not a fan of this.
Sorry, we should probably have posted something!Only a few threads were active in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen forums at a time so they probably thought it would be more efficient to just merge them.
The one negative of the prefixes is the stickies can get overwhelming. I do not think posts will get overlooked when questions are asked at the rate of about 1 - 2 per day.Kind of makes things confusing.
Merge the boards, fair enough. However, it would probably be better having each generation with their own sticky. Otherwise, people asking questions on one generation, might get their posts overlooked in responses to another generation's question.
So, I was playing Ruby, doint a Mono-Ground run, training my Nincada, fighting an Electrike, when something really weird happened.
I used Fury Swipes, the last hit activated Static, paralyzing my Nincada. Then immediately after that, Electrike got paralyzed as well, with the default status message.
Can someone explain to me what the heck hapened there?

Well when you guys cut yourselves off of any other community, Smogon members probably think RBY has reached an end, so no questions are ever asked.
There is still a sizeable chunk of the Smogon community that are active in the old gen metagame, but the fact of the matter is that a greater majority have shifted their interest to newer games.
So you don't allow them to know of places that are more specific to their possible interests?People have the freedom to choose what their interests are here and we should respect that.
@t3h Icy: No one's disallowing you from doing anything lol, people are aware there's a Ruins of Alph forum here and they'll visit if they're interested, if you want to get the word out about old gen metagames, eg starting an old gen tourney, then by all means do it.
well, obviously nincada has synchronise. Duh. (JK)
I think you might have missed a move or something, since there is no way fury swipes paralyzes you and even if it did it would induce paralysation before the effect of static (I think)
I'm trying to build a team for battle tower in emerald. currently it looks like this:
metagross @ lum berry
adamant / EVs: 252hp/252atk/4speed
meteor mash
shadow ball
earthquake
agility
Swampert @ shell bell
Adamant/ Evs: 252hp/252atk/4sp. def.
earthquake
surf
brick break
mirror coat
Blissey @ leftovers
Calm/ Evs: 252hp/252def/4sp. def.
Ice beam
Thunderbolt
softboiled
toxic
So far this team has performed well but I have trouble when facing flying and fighting types (specially breloom and heracross) or counter users with focus bands (they always activate lately >.< ). I'm thinking about adding skarmory to form the skarmbliss combo but I'm unsure about who to take out. =/
