Online Competitive Pokemon Battle Showdown Happy Fun Times

[Slash]

I was really agreeing pretty hard with Talon before that last post. I do agree that we need to have legendless tiers, though.

[Emi]

I like Talon's idea. It is a good compromise. Not all, "NO LEGENDS PERIOD!" that he was before.

Some legends, though, are pretty useless and don't have much of an effect on the tier. Regigigas, Articuno, Mesprit, Tornadus, Landorus-T, and Cobalion are all sub-par legends for one reason or another.

Don't accuse if you don't have evidence. Just because the numbers don't match what you've experienced doesn't give you the right to accuse something like that.

The last post you made with the option checklist was pretty great though.

We should have tournaments.

[Talon87]

I was going to wait until after the U.S. election.

[Kindrindra]

Oh.

Whoops.

[phoopes]

Election themed tournament! Every team must have Braviary, Charizard, Reshiram, Blastoise, Snorlax, and *other American Pokemon here*!

[Jerichi]

BRAVIARY ONLY
STATUE OF LIBERTY
NO ITEMS

GO

Aren't all the Gen5 Pokemon from America seeing as how Gen5 was in New York?

So an Unova-only tourney in celebration?

Sounds fun.

Some recent discoveries have made this ... shall we say, "difficult." I'll keep you posted.

[Emi]

Just want to point this out to anyone that doesn't know this, but PO does not have a battle replay viewer anymore. While we can go old school and post the log here, going to Poke Showdown if we want video proof of a win would probably be best.

Genesect being number one, shocker...

Conkeldurr, Latias, and Reuniclus are underappreciated. They're definitely a lot better than what the usage stats would show.

Finally, Metagross should be lower. C'mon people, you're smarter than that.

[Emi]

Am I the only one seeing Hydreigon and Haxorus hitting BL?

[Emi]

I've not actually double-posted in this thread in a while, to my surprise.

Genesect got sent to Ubers...on Pokemon Showdown. PO still has him on OU, while they ban Garchomp.

So, I am probably never setting in PO again other than FF battles, because that is kinda ridiculous.

[Kindrindra]

>Banned Genesect and not Garchomp

Well. Good thing I only use comp emulators for FF.

There is a huge case for banning Genesect. He is one of the most uncounterable Pokemon the meta has ever seen. Garchomp is much easier to handle than Genesect.

tl;dr Stop being wrong Kin. Its bad to be wrong.

Tornadus_T just went Uber.

My God the meta just got a million times better.

It's a start. *still not motivated to even load P-O up* They'll need to either give me my No Legends tier or else ban a few more Gen 5 assholes from OU before I'd return. But banning BW2 Tornadus is definitely a start. Fucking 110 SpAtk + 121 Speed, STAB Hurricane, and Regenerator, good riddance.

Pokemon Online is a joke. The fact that they still have Genesect is proof.

[Talon87]

And yet ... you're posting in their thread.
