Hi All,

Over the past few months we've seen an explosion in people wanting to run and conflate In Game Tier list threads. I've decided to try and make things easier for everyone by having an In Game Tiers forum where all of these threads can be found and all of the old threads can also be located. This should make it easier for everyone to see whats been completed/whats in progress and whats been abandoned.

I'll also update my other thread and move it here so we have a list of whats currently on the website/out of date/needs updating.

Hopefully with everything being contained in this forum it will mean a clearer, easier route to progress and hopefully getting newer more up to date content on to the website proper.
 
Activity in this subforum and these projects has died down a bit. I belive part of that is that it is not clear what is is currently being worked at.

So I made the effort in the last few days to look over all the In-Game Tier List threads here and see what their state is currently.
Here is a table that shows that (click the image for a link to the spreadsheet):

(The relevant threads and articles to the projects are linked in the spreadsheet.)

Some details:
  • 4 In-Game Tier Lists have already been finished and published on the site (RBY, FRLG, HGSS and BW).
  • 4 In-Game Tier Lists currently have placeholder articles (only tiers with no write-ups) already on site (RSE, Colosseum, XD, and DPP).
  • 2 In-Game Tier Lists have finished their write-ups and only need a final review before they can move to the Arcticle subforum. (Colosseum and Conquest)
  • 1 In-Game Tier Lists has finished their write-ups and was moved to to the Arcticle subforum (RSE).
    It is almost finished and only the HTML coding needs to still happen before it gets published.
  • 3 In-Game Tier Lists are currently in the write-up stage but are inactive (XY, ORAS and SM).
    • XY is very close to being finished. One C-Rank and a couple of D-Rank mons are the only ones missing. However, the project has currently no leader as Its_A_Random has stepped down. If you have interested in taking this over, then message DHR-107 about it.
    • ORAS is still being led by Colonel M but the thread hasn't had real activity for years.
    • SM is similar. Led by Colonel M by no real activity for some years now.
    • In the linked spreadsheet above are also the tier lists for these three projects and which write-ups are finished or still open. If you have interest in helping out, then take a look.
  • USUM is ready to start write-ups. They wanted to start a new write-up thread last November.
    Ryota Mitarai , do still intend to do this or do you no longer have interest in this?
  • The remaining In-Game Tier Lists are still in the playtesting and ranking stage (GSC, XD, DPP, BW2, LGPE and BDSP).
    • GSC is close to being finished and almost ready to start write-ups.
    • LGPE doesn't have a lot of discussion yet and is inactive for some years now.
  • Other In-Game Tier Lists of other games have not been started yet or are unlikely to have anything done
    (Stadium, Stadium 2, Battle Revolution, SS, LA, SV).
I hope that gave you all a better overview and what does still need to be done and where people can help out. If I missed something, let me know.

Update November 2024:
  • RSE has finished their write-ups and was moved to to the Arcticle subforum. Only HTML coding is still missing before it can get published.
  • GSC is close to finished with playtesting and ranking. It will start with write-ups soon.
