Smogon Simple Questions Thread

[ironwater]

So i understand the hydreigon toxapex core but what are some good mons to sync up with the core

Hey, I think you will have more chances to get an answer by asking this in the subforum of the tier you want to use this core in. Looking at the Pokemon, I assume it's OU so it would be here https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/simple-questions-simple-answers-thread.3656259/ (but if it's another tier like National Dex, you can find a similar thread in the tier subforum).

Is it possible to have the FRLG sprites for gen 1 Pokémon in ADV and Diamond Pearl and or Platinum sprites for gen 1 and 2 in DPP?

On PS, no. The sprites for each gen are fixed.

Not sure if this is intended, but people that won SSD 4 are showing as winning this term of SCL. Lets take an example such as TJ.

Problem

Don't have the proof like swiping over the trophy, but if you take a simple search you should know what I mean. Here are some threads to make your life easier. https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogon-snake-draft-iv-finals-won-by-sky-tower-lindworms.3673231/ https://www.smogon.com/forums/members/tj.331538/

It's a tour replacing SSD, it's intended.

Beside changing scaling and such on your browser, there's no easy settings for such, no. This does potentially fall under more so UI bug fixes, so you could post about it here as well.

You could just link one of the existing stickies for now, like https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/policy-review-posting-guidelines.3614129/

Thanks - any idea how I'll know if my request has been accepted or not? Or if it's not been accepted, will I be told why?

 

[CLout XD]

so whenever some people post replies theres always a link or a banner underneath their posts, how do I do that

and add any image or sentence you want

Hope this helps

Why aren't we allowed to have a meaningful discussion about the moves dig/fly being banned in Gen 1 OU? Discussion is healthy, why is this topic being censored?

You can bring up the topic in the RBY OU Discussion Thread, where tiering proposals are sometimes brought up.

Hey all, so at this point it has been well over a month since my name change and I still am not able to change any details on my profile, including my avatar. Any guidance?

You need to ask for an unlock of your profil in the name change thread (link your name change request to show that it's been more than a month).

How do I get rid of the last seen message on my profile?

 

[Blitz]

Click your avatar at the top right and go to Privacy. Untick the “Show Activity” option. You can also choose to hide your online status if you untick the “Show Online Status” box too.

Unsure of where I should ask/post this, I'm new to the forum but use pokemon showdown in some downtime that I have and I just kinda want to throw this question/suggestion out there.

Can there be a No Legendaries/Mythicals format on showdown?

To be honest each time I play I see so many teams with only legendary pokemon and sometimes I see mixed teams with legendaries and mythicals and rarely do I see any pokemon that fit into neither category and I have to say it's just not fun when I see these same teams over and over again using pokemon such as zacian and marshadow or kyogre and rayquaza every other team.

No, we don't tier or make formats based on arbitrary stuff like that. If you wish to have battles without legendaries you can just make agreements with friends in challenges instead.

battle spot singles and some vgc formats are often pretty close to this- as of currently i believe both only allow 1 legendary

You are confusing the definition of "legendary" used by VGC: these formats are only referring to restricted pokemon (aka what people usually refer as "ubers", mainly cover legendaries), there's still no limitation to the usage of regular legendaries like the Tapus, Genies, etc, which you consistently see multiple of per team.

It's a feature that could be build into the XenForo forum software (may even be default). To the best of my knowledge, Smogon may have thought about using it for something, but they never did, so it means nothing. If you see someone with points, it's probably a (s)mod or admin who upped it themselves for a laugh.

Hello; Is there any way to reset a PS! account's password? I made an account about a month ago but was logged out randomly, and can't seem to get back in. I'm sure this question has been asked many times, but I couldn't find a clear answer, sorry. Thank you!

(Sorry if this isn't the right place, either. I figured this was the closest to an FAQ?)
