Ditto, the builder being sorted by very questionable VR rankings from a bazillion patches ago that are massively outdated is also genuinely awful especially when you throw in god knows how many extra mons there are in the builder and the amount of times I would play tests with anaconja or do prep and then realize "Oh wait x mon exists" is like far too often. Just sort it by alphabetical order like every other format as it would also make it more newcomer friendly.
The premise of HG is interesting. However, I think Hoenn Gaiden needs to take a step back and rework it's foundations and severely cutback on mons in the tier if it wants to succeed which I do want it to because as of right now, that foundation is very shaky.
is it really a claim to fame being a champion in the pre-Dave's era? Embarrasing tbh
Ur washed go back to nd (I’m positive vs u)
Ive played 3 fakemons meta so far and have enjoyed them all decently, but I think ffou is probably the worst one? There's a distinct lack of moveset variety and pokemon feel insanely constrained for no real reason. Harletritus, Spirimint, Punctgris, Shifteor, and Bluffly are just a few examples of Pokemon unnecessarily hindered by weird movepool choices. But there are plenty more fakemons cucked by weird stat allocations or quirks that make like half the roster cheese at best but usually unusable. I also think there's a distinct lack of dopamine in the tier; the weather options are mediocre, genuinely good setup sweepers are pretty much Kartrake, and like maybe Phantasohm Snowdown or Wyverock but they all have pretty big issues, as well as easily slapped on defensive staples like Batacomb, Spidocket or Embeluga really dragging the pace down (which can be fine but offense felt way too inconsistent with nothing to reliably take advantage of balance). There's also just like an absurd number of spin, defog, and mortal spin, which made trying to cover for hazard control feel like a waste of time, most of my offense was focused on very specific breakers like Maulsoleum and Yolkrak who could basically solo any structure if given enough opportunities.
I do genuinely like a lot of the ideas though, I would love to see an almost across the board buffing of Pokemon for those who have either insanely gimmicky stats and deeper/less constricting movepools. If more Pokemon needed to be added for a wider diversity of cool abilities and strategies then that would be an interesting route as well. I wish petmods players stuck with their metagames more, restrictions and alternatium were genuinely cool but were left to die and I would have to learn something new a year later. SEA always fun to build terrible metagames with you homie

let the adults talk.
She spread lies about me being racist to her teammates so I reported her for it
random guy at barbeque
I am going to say this here and be done with it, because this bullshit between Copen and I has gone on long enough and I am over this shit.
Copen has been repeatedly going around and slandering my name under the pretense that I am some race purist, going behind my back and telling other people who I have never interacted with in private servers that I shouldn't join because I am racist. In addition, they are just a oain in the ass constantly insulting me in discord to the point of me blocking them on the server, after which the insults amd slander got worse, all of which can be attested by literally everyone in the server. It got to a point where I am having a regular conversation with someone and Copen is dropping pictures of inter racial marriages talking about "post this to scare G-Luke". I spoke to the moderators of this forums requesting them to deal with this situation, but clearly that isn't enough, because not only are you trying to ruin my reputation on this platform for a lie, but now you are throwing the reputation of Pet Mods as a whole under the bus because now you are implying there is a racism controversy that isnt being addressed by the Pet Mod community. I'm sick of this shit.
For full context since no one actually knows why Copen been saying what she is saying but tolerate it regardless.
A couple years ago on Twitter, a story was going around about how a Black man said for the first two years in his relationship he was forced to not interact with his white gf's family on Thanksgiving. True or not, a large discussion began on inter racial dating and the specific problems partners may face.
I made the very bold stance apparently, that J do not think love is worth facing racial discrimination for, and if Black people have to be forced to undergo stuff like that in their pursuit of love, they should firgoe dating white people altogether. Ofc this is Twitter, so I said what I said in a series of tweets where it culminated in saying (and I am paraphrasing here, I don't use that account anymore) "then black people should just avoid dating white people".
Someone in the Pet Mod community who I will not name to avoid dragging them into this any further brought this tweet up, thinking what ever Copen believes now. I am pro Black family, Im not gonna go into another tirade to explain what that entails, feel free to research, but its relevancy ties back to me shutting down their confrontation because I was not interested in debating race relations with someone who may think a white person saying "I want a white wife who I can have a white family with because that is important " is the same as a Black person who held the same stance.
Flash forward to this summer, and Copen and I are shit talking each other, because up until then that is all it was, some silly fake beef that people who disagree on how a mod us run have. Then out if the blie she asks me "thoughts on Inter racial marriage". I knew exactly what this was in reference to since that's not exactly a topic that pops up in Pet Mods Discord, so I stood on what I said and replied "do not date your oppressors". I find out tgat Copen decided to spread rumors that I am a racist, and I only found that out because I tried joining the Discord for the Slugma Haxballs because their FE player wanted help building for the tier and the ream lacked any assistance or experience building forbit but I was denied joining on these grounds
I called her out for it and nothing came of it of course, so I ignored it. But copen apparently can't help herself because apparently she HAS to try and insult and slander me every chance gets. My last straw was after creating the Post PMPL survey for others to review she left this as her closing reply yesterday.
I reported her to the moderators of this forum, but clearly Copen cannot help herself even after getting an infraction from what I was told by the moderators, so I am making this all very public because I am done. The next instance of this happening I promised the mod team that this would be escalated further and I am very good on keeping that promise fulfilled.
Stop speaking my name. Stop speaking about me. Stop speaking about whatever the fuck I am involved with Copen. Leave me the FUCK alone.
