I like reading walls of text in this thread you're lucky!!
And that's cool. Maybe like look into Other Metas to play other stuff if you're over the normal matches you play. unfixable and others know a lot about OMs so talk to him if you wanna consider that kinda stuff, unless you mean tournaments in which case... there's a section for those!
Dw I was the same I couldn't figure out which beat what and so on, and I still kind of don't... that's why I don't play anymore. c: One day I'll know it all though!! And you only hate gen v in terms of battling right??? Are you aware that in-game it is the best game ever? Because I believe that is an important fact that everyone in the world should know, and now you know, your life is fufilled.
Yea we have lots of things to do here. Too much really, we always need new contributors for stuff (we have a how to contribute guide in a sticky in this forum so have a look at that!) And yessssss, The Smog (not The Player, because The Smog is the best ofc) always needs new writers. :) Submit an article idea in the approvals forum and I'll personally check it over for you! And that's cool, maybe you can get into HTMLing for articles and things? We have like a guide coming up sometime soon which you can check out... or just read what we have already since if you like writing you obviously like reading too? :)
Enjoy your time here, remember BW in game is best and if you have any questions about stuff PM me, or ask in the questions thread. Oh and when you've been here for a while reply to the community feedback forum because we want to know if your mind has changed, or exploded from gen 6, and if you like it here. :) Welcome!
Gen VI... takes time to get used to. It was the freaking speed creep that kept getting it for me. Back in the days when Garchomp was considered very fast and now anything base 110 is average, slow down, speed racer! It was taking some big jumps but you'll get used to them eventually. I grew to really enjoy OR/AS despite greatly not liking it initially.
And don't worry about writing long paras, people with good attention spans will likely appreciate those more than one-liners, I know I do for whatever that's worth. Hope you enjoy yourself here. :]
If you need any help with that then there's always Battle 101 and the Competitive Tutoring room on Pokemon Showdown. That and you can always PM some more advanced players on where to begin. If you need help, it's all here is the point. Have fun. :]Hello all! I'm pretty new to competitive pokemon, but I'm ready to learn! I've looked around a little and I understand there are different tiers of pokemon but I'm not sure how to build a team or how doubles vs singles rules work. I fully know how IVs and EVs work though!

Nah, man, stick with OU! We are master race! In all seriousness though, welcome to Smogon. Enjoy your jump to different tiers, it's always good not being a one-trick pony and exploring different tiers/gens is always fun. Enjoy yourself here, man. :]Hello, Im new here. :) Im a typical 15 year old player i guess. Im pretty skilled in singles and such but I do Battle Spot Rating battles when I do play and such. I usually do OU battles and Im willing to expand up to Ubers and UU and probably RU :P
Yeah , I will x) I was just checking out your OU team gunslingers it looks pretty solid :) Your sets are good and such.Nah, man, stick with OU! We are master race!

Hey blooshroom!Hey guys I'm new, looked at Smogon for awhile now, but just decided to make an account and really get into the community. Looking to learn a lot more about competitive battling, have been in some online comps, but didn't do amazing. I mostly enjoy making unorthodox builds for pokemon just for fun and see if the work well or nah.
Hey zStormKnight!Hello everyone :) I'm zStormKnight (but on PS i'm 0VERK1LL3R) Only one thing to say: TORNADUS-T = OP. I like OU, Ubers and a little UU.
Hi Madji!Hi, I'm Madji.
I have played pokemon more or less since the Gen 2. During the third gen I was very interested in training great pokemon but lost my interest in the fourth gen. I had breed so much... I did not want to do it anymore. Fourth and fifth gen were a bit too dark for me – I like more colourful landscapes and more lively music. Also, pokemon like bidoof scared me of: 'is this the direction pokemon is going?' I thought. Changes to breeding in the sixth generation has inspired me to try again, and also, the hope of battle frontier returning.
A lot has changed between third and sixth gen and there are many gaps in my knowledge of items and moves.
Battling has interested me, though I don't think I'm very good at it. But here I am to learn!
Hello AltEuropa!Hello everyone,
I am AltEuropa and I am new to the forum.
I played Pokemon when I was a kid and loved it (Except Generation 6) then I saw that some of my old school friends play it competitively on Showdown. I gave that a go and realised it was linked to Smogon so I came here. I hope I can pick up some interesting tips and battle some of you later on.

Hey ValiantRonin!Yo, people! Just joined today, although I have been lurking on this website since the X and Y metagame started. Been dabbling in competitive battling, mostly VGC, but I enjoy Smogon's tier system. So I thought what better way to get more involved than to join the site and start learning more about it. I currently am enjoying UU the most. So I guess I will see you guys around the boards.
Hiya GrenadezGreninja!Hi, peoplez! I'm GrenadezGreninja! I've been around Smogon since March-ish. I've learned about most competitive knowledge and trained good competitive Pokemon. I hope I'll a good time here and think of strategies and stuff.
Hey there Loplee!Hi!! I'm Loplee! I've been lurking around Smogon for a few weeks now and decided it was time to join. I'm not great at battling, but it'd be cool to try and get better with the many experts here!
I'm pretty bad at Showdown as well, haha, but I think it's a superb way to test out strategies and whatnot. I love the guides on Smogon also! I don't have much else to say so, once again, hi!
Hi GoffardGafgarion!Hi there, name's Gafgarion, 21. Been lurking around smogon's database since 10/2013 (Poké X, when I started doing competitive battles) searching for good NU teams (also playing with UU/RU mons a bit).
ORAS was kinda disappointing to me, even with the new and exciting megas, so I stopped playing, but kept lurking around here. The recent MegaPinsir episode made me want to get involved tolaugh at UUjoin the discussions, but I don't understand too much, so I'll just grab my popcorn and lean back to watch the fire rise. =P
