Introduction

Welcome to the third Ask the Admins panel! The purpose and processes are simple: administrative candidates were put through a grueling, strenuous interview process to weed out weaker applicants. Once the strongest and truest remained, the community was asked to submit questions regarding a plethora of topics, from sim life to personal life. Of course, not all of these questions were used in the interviews, and some that were chosen were edited for clarity. Our panelists for this issue are Okuu, Vacate, and verbatim, so without further ado, let's get down to the questions!

Question #1

Tikitik: How did you find out about PS? What motivated you to stay around and contribute to PS?

Okuu: I came along during an event referred to as "The Reddit Surge" back in early 2012. Through prior experience as a moderator of a few other games and sheer luck, I ended up as a mod here in less than a week after joining. If anything, I keep coming back here because I enjoy chatting with people and, occasionally, abusing clearly-broken battle strategies until they get dealt with.

Vacate: I was searching around for cool Alakazam sets online since I'd seen some in a few matches on YouTube. I eventually signed up on Smogon for the Orange Islands forum, but I had a look at the rules and decided that it was a bad idea! I stumbled upon PS while watching more and more YouTube videos, and I wanted to try out my own sets. I do remember, though, being on Shoddy Battle many years ago, but I was probably even worse than I am now.

verbatim: I got into PS when Zarel was handing out beta codes on Smogon. When I joined, PS was a really small community where every user knew each other and things kind of snowballed. I really like the way online sites can enable people to form their own communities, and I work hard to ensure that people can have that same opportunity on PS nowadays.

Question #2

SparksBlade: What's the origin of your current username?

Okuu: "Okuu" is the nickname for the character "Utsuho Reiuji" of the Touhou Project. She's a Hell Raven who absorbed a sun god and actively attempts to nuke Hell in a ploy to provide the world with unlimited energy. As the typical Touhou final boss is generally gunned down for reasons like planting a tree (Yuyuko), making the sky a bit darker (Remilia), or existing (Mima), Okuu is arguably the only character in the entire series with an actual evil plot. The Touhou Project series of ~20 bullet-hell shooter games (akin to Space Invaders / Gradius), largely developed by a lone-wolf alcoholic Japanese man named "ZUN." He coded the game mechanics, created the interface, drew the art, and composed the music for most of the entire series (he was part of a small team for the first 5 games). For reasons unknown, his early works became really popular and gathered a massive fanbase that's still growing over a decade later. Touhou now has spin-off games and mods for just about every genre. Super Mario Bros, Castlevania, Etrian Odyssey, and even Pokémon all have Touhou-themed variants.

Vacate: I found Vacate while trying to find names with a cool color. At the time it had a bright purple, but I've since changed that to a glorious red.

verbatim: When signing up for sites, I tend to go for complicated names with simple meanings. Had verbatim been taken, I would have been verbiage, as I am on GitHub.

Question #3

Rekeri: What's your favorite genre of music?

Okuu: Synthesized instrumental music, like what you'd expect in video games. I also enjoy classic Rock n' Roll, Ska, and Spanish Guitar. I recently picked up Smooth Jazz thanks to Pokémon Showdown, as it always seems to be one of the relevant discussion topics here. It sounds great, and it's really easy to listen to. I see why it's so popular here, and I have no problem with more people listening to it.

Vacate: Gotta be dance. I'm really into this random dance playlist on Spotify. I also seem to like most Eurovision songs. Basically anything with a good tune.

verbatim: OST's. In general I really like music that is used in combination with other media. Good examples include Serpent Eating the Ground, and anything related to Sonic the Hedgehog and friends.

Question #4

VeryPinkPancakes: Do you like any other RPGs besides Pokémon?

Okuu: As long as the RPG allows me even the tiniest bit of room to abuse luck and probability, I'll probably enjoy it in some capacity. One of my longtime favorites is Elona. It's an "8-bit" (aka "probably 16-32 bit but it still looks pixelated") rogue-like dungeon-crawler game. Like any other RPG, you can pick a race and class, roll for stats, and pick some bonuses to start with. There's some sort of long, overarching, and well-thought out plot as well. But, in the 4 years and approximately 300 hours that I've been playing this game, I haven't even done as much as explore the first level of the newbie dungeon that the plot starts in. Instead, I usually gather an army of christmas bells (the "Metal Slime" of the game; ridiculously fast and weak, prone to fleeing), reskin them to look like fairies, give them machine guns, and do pretty much whatever I want. Currently, I'm the lord of a massive castle in the north, where I hoard the legendary equipment of rogues and adventurers that I've murdered. I ride into battle atop a shotgun-wielding Tyrannosaurus rex, surrounded by a never-ending hail of gunfire. I've subjected the largest town in the game to nuclear hellfire solely to beat an unnecessary side quest. I'm also banned from entering almost every town in the game. Surprisingly, it's because I'm wanted for tax evasion.

Other than that, any other game where I can actively ignore the plot like Final Fantasy 2, grind to absurdly high levels with ease early-game (Tales of Xillia, Lufia - Ruins of Lore), or can easily develop my own broken characters (Disgaea) is a game that I'd love.

Vacate: I don't really play Pokémon much anymore anyway. The only other thing I play at the moment is Dota 2.

verbatim: I really like classic 16-bit RPG's like FF5, FF6, and Chrono Trigger. I'd recommend Bravely Default for anyone who likes those as well.

Question #5

-Clone-: What are your favorite rooms to hang out in and why?

Okuu: Mostly the Lobby, because it's an acquired taste that I can't really get rid of at this point. Back when I started, we didn't have these fancy "rooms." We all had to get along together in one big chat area, and it actually worked at times. Eventually, we found that people wanted places to discuss topics that other people didn't want to hear about over and over again, so we made separate rooms. Yet, by the time that we did that, I'd already gotten used to the hectic atmosphere of dealing with hundreds of people (and the occasional spammer that takes up 30% of the screen).

Vacate: Tournaments, TV, Books and Films, and The Studio. They all have really nice communities, especially Tournaments (although I've grown apart from it lately!). Although I'm not a competitive player myself, there's something particularly fun about hosting a popular tournament.

verbatim: Video Games and Debates and Discussions. Video Games is a great place to find new games, reminisce about old ones, and compete with others. Debates and Discussions's mature atmosphere lets us talk intelligently about things that generally can't be discussed in the Lobby or other rooms.

Question #6

Kasumi: What is your favorite metagame / format and what makes you enjoy it so much?

Okuu: I really, really want to say Super Staff Bros. A lot of us put a ton of work and effort into it, and we are thrilled to see how well it's been received by the users here. It's surprisingly well-balanced despite the hectic and erratic nature of the game, and it's an absolute blast to play. However, Classic Hackmons will forever hold a place in my heart. I'd explain why, but I just looked at the next question, so I'll detail it over there.

Vacate: BW OU. This was the only generation where my mediocre bad-player sets could be used effectively. I remember bossing the lower ladder with my Porygon2 and Honchkrow.

verbatim: Balanced Hackmons. A metagame where move and ability restrictions are removed, BH has exponentially more potential combinations of teams than any other ladder, giving players a great deal of creativity. If a certain Pokémon is constantly beating your team, you can go out and build a unique perfect counter to that Pokémon.

Question #7

Airwolf: Most funny/interesting situation you've encountered on PS?

Okuu: By all measures, it would be a Hackmons battle between myself and N. At this point, I was something like 61/0/0 in the (ladder) format, due mostly to the format being brand new and people failing to understand that their OU / Ubers team has 0% chance of contending in a meta that bizarre, and because a typical person's idea of a good Hackmons team at the time was 6 unaltered Arceus's. However, I had a few opponents who not only rose up to the challenge, but even developed new strategies that I hadn't dealt with before. N was one of those guys. I had already played him a few times before. Each time, his team would get harder and harder to compete against.

In this specific game, I was getting stomped. He was using an Acupressure / Baton Pass Giratina, and I think it either had Shadow Tag or Mean Look, because he'd switch it in on Pokémon that couldn't do much to it and trap them while he boosted all of his stats to +6's. I managed to kill the first thing that he passed the stats to, but he brought Giratina out and did the whole routine again, Baton Passing a full suite of stats and a Substitute to a No Guard Sheer Cold Deoxys. At this point, the only Pokémon I had left were a Pure Power Slaking on the field and an Imposter Blissey that I haven't been able to use all game due to Substitute blocking Imposter from ever working. Not wanting to die without pretending to put up a fight, I had Slaking use Extremespeed. It actually dealt enough damage to break Deoxys' Substitute, and then hilarity occurred:

Deoxys' Red Card activated.

Slaking was forced off the field, and my Imposter Blissey came out, immediately transforming into a base 255 HP, max-boosted murder machine, which I then swept N's entire team with that. I still regale people with that tale to this day.

Vacate: Most of the funny PS stuff is inside staff jokes. Outsiders just think our jokes are terrible. To me, "interesting situation" sounds like some kind of server issue, and they're never fun...

Question #8

something sticky: What does being a Leader mean to you?

Okuu: As a Leader, becoming an Admin is something of a next step. The way I view it, an Admin is a person who contributes to Pokémon Showdown in more ways than just by being there. They're the ones that are actively working to get that Beta label out from under the logo.

Vacate: I try to be as respectful as possible to everyone and make PS a better community. Being an Admin doesn't mean that you're better than anyone else, just that you're trusted to do stuff.

verbatim: Being a Leader is a multi-faceted job. I am involved in a lot of policy things, such as dealing with promotions (fun) and demotions (not fun), but I also do a lot of back-end work to free time up for developers. For instance, I am one of several Leaders and Admins who takes care of server registration, enabling the development staff to work on improvements to PS.

Question #9

The Pokémon Engineer: Where do you see Smogon/Pokémon Showdown in a few years?

Okuu: When it comes to Smogon, I'm not entirely sure. I came here in an incredibly round-about way, and thus am not as entrenched in Smogon culture as the vast majority of everyone else here (staff and otherwise). I'm trying to show up as often as I'm able to, but having a full-time career really saps from my free time. I haven't had much of a chance to discuss the direction that Smogon wants to take with the people capable of making those decisions, but I'm vaguely aware of who they are, and they seem to be level-headed individuals. I can speak pretty well for Pokémon Showdown when I say that we want to pretty much continue what we're doing, but be better at it. We're always looking for ways to refine the experience here, be it in battle or in chat. You can expect a lot of growth coming from us in the years to come.

Vacate: Haha, I have no idea. We might've been taken down in a fierce legal case by then! I hope it's still around, or replaced by an even better simulator; we'd have to wait and see.

verbatim: Honestly a lot of that depends on factors that are out of our control. PS is primarily a volunteer organization and we don't have the ability to pay people to ensure that we will DEFINITELY hit a certain goal in a certain amount of time. That being said, we have a great development team and a history of progress. When I first joined PS there was one room, less than 50 people, and only half of Gen V OU was kind of implemented. Since then we've added multi-generational formatting, doubles, rooms, tournaments, and a lot of hidden refactoring stuff that enables the server to be able to support 2000 users without crashing. I'm not sure where exactly we'll be in a few years but I'm definitely excited to find out.

I feel much the same about Smogon. We started from humble beginnings and have prospered through the backbreaking contributions of countless individuals. Anyone who knows Smogon's founder chaos knows that he always has gigantic plans for developing Smogon's future, and I am excited to see where they will take us.

Question #10

rubsomebacononit: Besides going on PS, what hobbies do you have?

Okuu: Card games, for one. I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic the Gathering back in the day. I quit MTG within a year of starting it, and stayed with YGO from around the start of the game up until ~2007. There, I stopped playing until ~2012, where I now languish with some pretty subpar decks that I play against the scrubbier of opponents at whatever locals site I happen to be closest to at the time. I also kinda picked up MTG again, but I solely play a Kaalia deck in the Commander format. Cardfight Vanguard is my current main game, where I've managed a semi-final position in a regional Team League tournament (good enough to qualify for Nationals, but one of my teammates couldn't afford the round trip and we had no spare money). I can top local events pretty often, and I have a good number of friends that enjoy the game as well. I also play Buddyfight (laugh at the name, but the game itself is amazing) and Weiss Schwarz (otaku-pandering nonsense that I can't avoid).

I could mention video games, but that's pretty obvious for just about everyone here. I do watch anime and read light novels / manga. I enjoy the "person thrown into bizarre situation that has this -one neat trick to survive-" genre that's appearing everywhere. To that end, stories like Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, Mushoku Tensei, Arifureta, and Tate Yuusha no Nariagari are some of my favorite reads. For stuff to watch, I find myself going back to No Game No Life, The World God Only Knows, and Seto no Hanayome.

Vacate: Debating, learning useless stuff, eating.

verbatim: I have a second Dan in Korean Swordsmanship. Outside of that, I like to spend my time gaming (Destiny right now), and hanging out with friends, both IRL and on PS and IRC.

Question #11

TantrumT-Tar: Which underrated Pokémon do you feel needs a Mega Evolution?

Okuu: Hey, I thought that I could avoid Mega Evolution discussion by hiding in here! Err, I mean, uhh.... Porygon-Z! With each innovation in the series, Porygon has gotten an evolution to match it. The advent of hold items brought us Porygon2. The inclusion of 3-dimensional graphics rendering in Gen IV brought us Porygon-Z. There's no reason why the actual hardware support for 3D graphics brought to us in Gen VI wouldn't support a Mega Porygon-Z that only appears when you don't have your 3D slider in the OFF position.

Secretly, I know that Porygon-Z won't be getting any sort of Mega Evolution until Gen 8. Because we got Porygon in Gen 1, Porygon 2 in Gen 2, and Porygon-Z in Gen 4. Following the pattern, we'll see Mega Porygon-Z in Gen 8!

Vacate: Bibarel. It's a pretty bad Pokémon so it's not really "underrated," but I still think a Mega Evolution would be pretty nice. Okuu's idea of Porygon-Z is also pretty cool.

verbatim: A year ago I would have said Sceptile and Medicham, but XY and ORAS did both of those so I'm going to say that Game Freak should make a Mew Mega Evolution and stick its Mega Stone under the truck in Vermillion City.

Question #12

Weebl: How often do you go on an alt to use PS casually? Do you ever like it better?

Okuu: Pretty often. A lot of people who remember me from my old stint here likely know me as "Ataraxia" or "Elite Four Lorelei." "Ataraxia" was actually a unauthed alt that I hid on at the time, and eventually liked enough that I switched to that as a main. Even now, I tend to hide on various alt accounts. Look for "Raxy" whenever you're bored—it's just one of several.

Vacate: Most of the time. I get so many PMs about the same things if I'm on my main. I have to make sure there's another leader or admin online so that they can absorb the PMs.

verbatim: I don't use alts.

Miscellaneous

EXEC_ViiBaCi_MjiiRa/.: Is Okuu really your favorite Touhou character?

Okuu: First off, I'm terrible at waifus. I have absolutely no loyalty and can't keep one to save my life. I'm terrible at being a weeaboo neckbeard, despite putting forth my best efforts to become one. With that out of the way, I can admit that Okuu has never been a definitive "#1 favorite Touhou" for me (always in the top 3-5, though). When I was first introduced to the series, it was Cirno. I then jumped to Mokou, Yuyuko, Momiji, Nue, Hatate, Kyouko, and Seija. Now, I've managed to jump all the way back to Shinki.

asdfghjklohhnhn: What is the hardest part about being a Leader?

verbatim: Balancing time between PS and IRL work. If the two conflict, IRL usually wins, and it sucks knowing that things on PS will slow down if I have to take a week off for finals.

Conclusion

That's a wrap! These guys were put through a lot in the initiation phase, so we'll let them get back to their bunkers where they think they're safe. Many thanks to these Leaders for sharing their thoughts and giving us another taste of what's behind the scenes. We have plans for the future as far as Ask the Admins is concerned, so we'll be taking a break in the meantime. Thanks to everyone for your support of the series thus far—see you next time!
