    If you just pick 3/4/6 Pokemon together, they aren't really a team, and they'll quickly fall to a player who knows what they're doing. Tyranitar, along with Hippowdon and Abomasnow, basically require a team to be built around them due to the weather. Only a select few types are immune to hail and sand, and only ONE POKEMON IN THE ENTIRE GAME (Mamoswine and it's pre-evolvs) is immune to BOTH. That makes it very hard for frail Pokemon like Weavile to work with Tyranitar, especially if they have to deal with Stealth Rock damage, setting up a substitute, or Life Orb recoil. You need to pick a theme, or roles that you want to fill, and them go out and select the best Pokemon for the job. For example, if I want a Pokemon who can soak up special hits like there's no tomorrow, Blissey is the best choice, bar none. Blissey has ONE weakness (fighting), an immunity to ghost, and a ridiculous movepool that supports teams. Softboiled means it can heal itself. Wish means it can heal team mates. It can paralyze punks with Thunder Wave, and do all kinds of other stuff. All while soaking up special attacks like there's no tomorrow. Now, is Blissey the only Pokemon who can take special hits? No. If you want someone who can take special hits but also punch back physically, Tyranitar and Snorlax and a few others might be better suited. They won't take as many special attacks like Blissey, but they'll probably score more KOs. I'd highly recommend reading up on the inner game mechanics (EVs, IVs, base stats, etc...) and comprehending those before you get into competitive battling. Since this thread will inevitably go in circles, I'm gonna close this. Good luck.

    Nobody here produces Pokesav. That's like asking Nintendo when a new Xbox system is going to come out.

    Dratini picks up Extreme Speed as one of the many gift-type of Pokemon you get in the game.

    Serebii has a bunch of information on his site. According to him, it's activated by an eventual release of an event Celebi.

    <p><p><p><p><p>Nope, no set winner in our match. I'm documenting the moves used in the battle right now, but I'm thinking about having at least one open move slot per Pokemon, just so we can get a bit better for the move sets.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Ok, so about the Shoddy Battle gimick I proposed ages ago:</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>Recently, in the anime, Satoshi/Ash had a big (6vs6) battle with Shinji/Paul. I was thinking we could carry out the same battle via Shoddy (taking some liberties with natures, IVs, and moves), get at least 3-4 spectactors to do "anime-like commentary" and see how it works out.</p></p></p></p></p>

    <p><p><p><p><p>I was thinking of re-watching the set of anime episodes this weekend so I can give a full list of Pokemon on each team + moves used.</p></p></p></p></p>

    What other Pokemon should be debated? I don't want Easy Mode to just remove any "powerful" Pokemon so that it only leaves the 20 OU that seem to barely cling onto their OU status. Gyarados is powerful, but can easily be stopped. Though some of the non-DD sets require a bit of thought, they aren't overpowering, and DDdos is by far the most common, as far as I can tell. Zapdos, while it can run various sets, is usually run to keep a check on Scizor and Swampert. I had a whole new list typed up to go against other arguments, but I think once we play around with this mode, then we can add more if need be. But I don't want Easy Mode to just ban anything that's overpowering. Many of them run very specific sets even though they can run many others.

    While I'd certainly like to know WHAT was fabricated, it's out of curiousity and nothing more. regardless of that, my question was answered, so....

    Congrats on using the big questions thread up top. Legit=you went to the event yourself. Otherwise, you'll never know.
  16. randomspot555
    Assuming that's true, then why not just treat him like any other user? Give an infract for advertising, say "keep it to your signature" and be done with it? Blocking the link to the site seems a bit excessive.
  17. randomspot555
    Why is Fenzo's site blocked? I mean, he thanks multiple people from PP on his front page. To my knowledge, no other links are censored, so why is his? What I mean is it comes up like this: http://www.********** Compared to: http://www.serebii.net http://www.google.com http://www.pokemonsecure.com EDIT: If for some reason this information is more appropriate via PM then a public post, then those with answers can PM me. I'm just curious.
  18. randomspot555
    It's Fenzo's new site.

    blissey is one of the easiest Pokemon to counter. Your counter is any physical attacker.
  20. randomspot555
    No. First off banning Metagross due to "Ninjask Baton pass set" would mean banning all BPers, and that's dumb. Second, Roar/whirlwind.
  21. randomspot555
    Honestly, I agree. For the most part, DDdos serves the same role as Mence but with a different move pool and typing. It's a monster in the game and very hard to counter if you're not familiar with porygon-2 and the Rotom forms. Thanks for telling us how you feel on something you won't participate in?
  22. randomspot555
    Closing. This thread became a spam filled cesspool anyway with "oh noes r u 0n yetz?" and "wait" and "okay, I'm on now".
  23. randomspot555
    This isn't feedback. This is complaining. Your original post in your other thread, you came off as kind of a jerk. And strangely enough, you still do. However, I opened up the other thread because I feel the issue you raised had some merit, even though you go about making your point in an inappropriate way. Next time you have a complaint with a staff action, PM the staff member instead of making an entire thread for a simple question.

    I'm not EXTREMELY familiar with Vbulletin, but I doubt that's possible without some type of modification. I really don't see the point in username changes. On some boards I'm on, they offer to ban your original account and you can register a new one, but I'm fairly certain the ban system here bans the IP as well as the username. *in before someone mentions MY username change:bidoof: *

    While the OP did it in kind of a jerk way, I fully agree with his point and see no reason to lock the thread. I often access the forums through mulitple computers on my college campus and at the public library. Checking the box to stay logged in would be pointless since these computers are set to auto-clear anything at the end of the day. Oftentimes, the box intrudes directly over the username/password box, making it hard to see if I entered my user name correctly. It is an incredibly annoying feature and honestly, poorly designed. Another forum I visit has a "Register" message too, but it's just a banner at the top of the page. It could also give the impression that PP forums allows pop ups, which is what entered my mind when I first saw it. That said, and since the other thread seems to be dead, I'm opening this back up.
