Smogon Simple Questions Thread

hey, does anyone know where i can submit 2d sprites? a handful of pokemon that i use alot (like raging bolt) don't have sprites yet and it's been irking me for a while.
 
Legit question here, Is Legends ZA gonna be on showdown? cause of the

Leaked stats

and all? personally im hoping so, cause being iron balled on Legends Arceus wasn't fun so im wondering will it on showdown or work out some way or.... do you want to wait for champions??
 
what are "Temporary Tour Metas" on Show down and how do I play them/
I want to play gen 7 balanced hackmons.
These exist as challengeable metagames for the duration of the forum tournament that hosts them. You can play them in the same way as any challengeable metagame, by challenging someone.
 
I was referring to as in the revealed movesets and the "stats", I think it could be made or workout someway
Doubt that will ever be a meta. Legends ZA didn't have one for similar reasons, but in all likelyhood the pokémon and movepool additions introduced in Legends of ZA might get implemented in the upcoming Pokémon Champions, and thus might find itself in a theoretical Pokémon Champions meta or as additions in a National Dex meta that implents Champions additions. This is a big if however, don't expect anything to ever happen in the near future.

I gotcha, I was thinking the abilities would be shown during the combat system of ZA but I think ZA's combat system doesn't even use abilities at all, otherwise you know....
 
Im not sure if this is the right place to ask, if it isn't feel free to direct me elsewhere.

Ive been getting repeatedly banned on showdown, due to some account that I don't recognize threatening other users in chat. It feels like Ive had to appeal about 20x since I started playing a few months ago. I've tried playing on wifi and on my data. But the same user keeps getting me banned. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? I play on my cellphone and my computer.

Thanks in advance!

Without just being logged out, how can I return to the top of a subforum its little x-able list of moderators?
You can restore dismissed notices in preferences here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/account/preferences

(This option only shows up if you have a dismissed notice.)

Also, is there a repository of the Pokémon GIFs with clear backgrounds that are assigned to new forum accounts?
https://web.archive.org/web/20150115193651/http://www.smogon.com/media/forums/avatars/ has a listing of each default avatar name for reference (which probably hasn't been updated since then). Generally it contains most Gen 5 sprites with alternate forms and some CAPs (but no Arceus-Fire/Fighting/Flying, and a duplicate Arceus-Normal).
 
Pokémon Champions is around the corner and i have a doubt regarding how it'll be handled as a competitive game.

1st - When it launch, does it gets ignored like Legends Arceus and Z-A, or it will be like BDSP and Let's Go and get their own set of tiers?

2nd - If it's not ignored, how exactly will be handled the tiers? It'll be the set of formats provided by Game freak, emulated on Showdown, or we will handle tiers just like we do with current generations?

3rd - If it's not ignored, and it has the tiers, it will became the Standard OU? The main metagame where we play and host the main tournaments like WCoP and SCL? And if so, for how long?
