Month 41, August 2016 - Voting Stage
- Vote for a metagame by liking the post (in this thread) that has its name on it.
- You may vote for as many metagames as you want.
- Do not try to influence other voters and do not bash any metagame. Asking people to vote for a metagame in the OM room may lead to moderation actions being taken from roomauth.
- If your account is less than one week old, your vote will not be counted.
- The metagame with the most votes will receive a ladder on the main server of Pokemon Showdown for the month.*
[If you're unsure of any of these rules, ask the OM Room for help or post your issue in this thread]
Voting will close at some time on (or maybe after) July 31st.
*(in the event that a meta is unable to be coded and/or implemented onto the PS! main server, the metagame with the second most votes will get a ladder instead)

1v1 Reversed
Each player brings 3 Pokemon, and picks one to battle with during team preview. However, instead of picking what move to use, you pick what move your opponent will use (against you).

All Uber Pokémon are nerfed and introduced into OU. This is accomplished by a simple formula, (A÷2)+40, where A represents the Pokémon's stats.

Gods And Followers
Each team has a "God" and five "Followers". The "God" is the Pokemon in the first slot of the team, it can be any Pokemon from Ubers to OU, the "Followers" must follow the OU banlist. The Followers must share a type with the God. If the God faints, a constant Embargo effect is applied to the player's team upon fainting.
