Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
this was ... BEASTLY. I mean everything about it was beastly. Cacturne avenging his fallen comrades in true beastmode. I am going to say on a regular scale 8.44444444444/10 but this gets a Biblical Beast rating. I loved the white a's to fill space.
Which begs the question of how this is a good story. Crits, misses, confusion hits, and let's not mention that Cacturne sweep at the end. All of it was heavily reliant on luck, which is not the point of a warstory. Sure, the occasional unlucky crit can be amusing to see, but this takes it to an extreme. Plus using sets like Specs Excadrill makes me somewhat skeptical as a whole.
I do believe this person gets a cookie for some accurate prediction skills.
Okay, im gonna :evan: at Gen. Empoleon and MajorGambit, and others who discredit the warstory because it isnt "serious enough"
First of all, we do not exactly know this player, (he does play on PO after all) so who are we to judge how good he is based on this team? He has stated that:
I’m no slouch either, having reached rank 5 in DW OU before the ladder reset and currently sitting at rank 7.
Granted, this is on PO, but that doesnt particularly matter.
Secondly, Pokemon is supposed to be something fun, and although to some irritating (like his opponent) a lighthearted battle between 2 players. If you think every pokemon battle is supposed to be "S3ri0Us Biz", please take a break.
Thirdly, this is probably one of the best formatted warstories in smogon currently. just because the formatting was more serious than the battle, doesnt mean this isnt a good warstory.
and Fourthly, havent i mentioned that Pokemon is supposed to be fun?

This was a casual, funny, and nice-to-read warstory, and it got archived. So...
