Megas For All (Read the whole 1st post and check current slate)

Definitely thinking this Lightning Rod, Roost and King Shield idea will work great for empoleon.
I think I have a solid idea for Roserade that involves keeping Technician and making her a better offensive threat.
To me Kricketune and Bibarel just seem too useless for me to be bothered working with them :P
 
Kricketune is literally based off of a violin. I hope to see some music inspired submissions.

EDIT: There's no plans for a viability ranking thread, but if the metagame is popular enough, I'm sure there will be.
 
Kricketune should just get a Bug-type Gale Wings. We can give it some extra bulk, give it Roost for longevity, Megahorn for power, and boom! He'd be like Talonflame and Mega Pinsir put together.

Violin beetle, yes

And something that gives a boost to sound-based moves would be cool, but Krick's SAtk is so garbage that I'm not sure how that could work
 
We already have Amplifier from Noivern that's 1.3x sound-based moves. The problem is Kricketune's combination of garbage Sp. Attack AND Speed, making sound-based moves a difficult aspect to focus upon.

That would be awesome, although it would be nice if somebody could code a beta version first with all of the currently created Megas

*alpha

And I believe several coders here are working on it. I can't code for shit, so I'm not a part of it, but it is in the works (correct me if I'm wrong, though)

We're actually working on something similar, I don't know if coding will move fast enough for you to see it before the closure of this thread.
 
For a pet mod, that's not a great idea. People would lose their steam before the meta was even introduced, which is already scary enough given how much these kind of metas can struggle with player traffic.

People have been going strong on the OU Viabiluty ranking thread for months, people love to argue about shit like that for months. I think that wouldn't be a difficult thread to maintain.

Struggle with player traffic? There are 112 pages of player traffic, This is by far the most popular Pet Mod
 
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it feels like we have little to gain and a lot to lose. And while this thread is absolutely huge, the amount of people participating is already going down. In the beginning, we saw people with 3 posts to moderators - now it's just the 20 or so frequent fliers.

Idk, we can't really do it now with acestriker gone, but maybe he'll approve the idea when he gets back.
 
By then, we'll also be much closer to being done (we have 9 weeks or so of Megas to make, like 120 new Megas)

Also, if coding is an issue I can play around with it. I never like did any coding for this (or even the language(, but I do a lot of programming for my PhD work and I can use fun coding when I'm not doing serious coding.

How are you already working on a phd

I'm a 24 year old who got his BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering already.

In fact, I got my position in the research lab I'm in actually partly because of Pokemon (The professor hired me as an undergrad after I took his probability course. In that course I wrote a paper about the probability of winning a specific one-on-one Pokemon battle and how the probabilities change with each turn using a game theory basis and showing the simulation of two "rational players" playing that battle and how one player just doesn't win all the time even if I stack the deck against the other)

This is the nerdiest thing I've ever read

I love it
