Fire Flyy

Thank you. ^.^
How are you?

Hah, thanks. :) I just started with pixel art and I found I really like it. I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for the old battle crew.

Hows this forum doing?
Been so inactive xD

what is 6ko? In any event, I didn't know there were still youtube battlers. Shows how much I'm aware. lol

Is it sad that I want to watch all those videos now? Not even for getting anything out of them but just for fun

This is rough/based on small sample size, but I dont think F(aka Heatran)/W/G cores are dominant or anything, and their predictability can be pretty easy to prey on, even with someone who still has to learn to play basically like myself. Latias used to counter them by herself basically, lol.

But yeah it's definitely different than BW obviously, the one thing about no team preview though is you can look at the revealed pokes and pretty accurately estimate what may be coming out and predict accordingly. (In pre plat dp the old saying was that if the opponent had one unrevealed pokemon, it was Garchomp and it was going to sweep you. lol)

haha I used otr Bronzong for a time, very good sweeper and love its emergency defensive utility. I didn't support it very well and have since been running different teams, none of which are much good.

Anyway for me I understand the meta well but it's very frustrating teambuilding and execution is rought too (translation: my skills have atrophied greatly in years of absence) so I'm still REALLY adjusting. It's fun though, really glad i came back to play.

Highlight: running into swagger shuckle

I'm Bosh. I almost assuredly was rather unimpressive

Indeed but honestly at times it comes down to who has more firepower which was not the case in DP OU. Yes but why be forced into playing weather, the best teams still utilize weather because it's so damn good. It's ridiculously centralizing and don't get me started on the dragons. Creativity and strategy is limited tnis way, staples are the way to go. In DP people could bring niche Pokemon into OU and stil top the leaderboard. Honestly who wants to see Ninetales on every team? :/

My point is BW OU is not exactly a mess but it's so flawed compared to its predecessor.

Other regulars left, I was a ''vet'' here in 2008-11 and I lost interest due to how bad BW was. That was on my old account which I lost the password to. I could name others but eh.

As a DP OU player who liked the creativity/strategy required for the metagame, I personally find BW OU terribad. There is strategy don't get me wrong however it more about who has the team with greater firepower/some synergy. It's basically killed off playstyles as well. You also have to use weather or check weather or you lose. It's basically an Uber clone. The power creep is also ridiculous, Salamence is considered shabby nowadays bar Scarf, if 135 Atk / 110 SpAtk is shabby, what is good?

Well yes but Smogon have to follow what Nintendo does.

tl;dr BW OU sucks hard, I mean look at what it did to this forum. All the regulars left.
