    And for the last time, I am saying it can handle it without Tbolt. Read what I said again.

    And it is comments like those that leads people to say you don't understand. Many people quit wifi forthe mere fact of breeding. Just because it takes YOU a few days or 50 hours to build a team, doesn't mean it is the same for everyone. You keep using your views as a sole basis, which is a bit insulting. I am not exaggerating a thing, as more people can even agree with me on this. To insult players by saying "if you don't have the time, you shouldn't play" shows you don't have the same experience. That is why they have to settle on things. You don't really have the same responsibilites others may have, regardless of the things you face in real life, and they shouldn't play because of that?

    And how many times do I have to say it? I just said the mechanics are the same. But the experience isn't.
    i find wifi easier. Can you go in my head & share the same experiences? Can youreally tell me they are the same? Same style of gameplay, yeah.

    You have some understading, now multiply that. You only had to breed for friends. I can't imagine what otheres had to go through. Or ther free time.

    I keep agreeing Weezing with Thunderbotl works as a Gyarados counter so why do you keep bringing it up lol

    As for Weezing & Gya, Gya doesn't do enough damage, with or without a DD under his belt. If it waste time to Taunt you, you get hurt.It's just about a 4HKO with that, and Gya must attack at all times for a 3HKO.

    Weezing is an instant counter with T-bolt.

    If you say that, you really dont know. Much less than you think. Trades are few & far between. The same mechanics. Same pokes, definately not. Breeding for Ruby battles are much different than breeding for wifi battles, due to the fact that you have to be more perfect for todays metagame. Many pokes need exact ivs, and those few off IV's can cost you a crutial OHKO. My Raichu funtions with 10 less Sp.Atk IV's, because it had perfect speed, which is much moar important. I have also outsped afew foolish Chomps, who funtions with less speed (max attack though) because of the IV's.

    Trading, as I said, doesn't cut it. Along with not knowing if it's legit or not, that depends on others completely. I got a few pokes from D_A, but without him, I'd be lost. Some doesn't have the right pokes, and others want things you cannot get.

    Don't think you completely understand how it is for wifiers. You know how it feels, but to say it's no real difference shows you don't really get it. some people doesn't have enough spare time, or patience, which not everyone has. I sure don't.

    Plus, when actually battling, it is just easier for some to go wifi than it is to go shoddy. If you don't see what I mean by that, then you just don't understand.

    Excuse me? What about Luvdisc vs Grumpig/Vileplume? Is that not log worthy?

    Bah, not to say you were wrong (though I still disagree with Weezing vs Gya), butwifi & shoddy aren't really all the same. Along with IV's not being perfect, you can sometimes take comfort in a poke not having a killer hidden power. Some pokes just plain can't be used (Event Pokes specifially,) even if we wanted. Same goes for tutor moves. For some, Seismec Toss Blissey can't be caught And unfortunately for some, certain pokes are just unobtainable. I don't even wanna bother trying to soft reset for Cressila, and I can't for the other three nymphs, as I caught them prior my learnings of the metagame. Heatran is the only poke I wanna try out.

    Along with that, I find shoddy just a whole different ball game. I don't know why. Outside of the animations,, I find wifi so much easier, and more fun. I don't know why, but prediction and basic moves just seems so less complex.

    Um I keep Cresselia in on Tyranitar because people like you think it will automatically switch out, when instead I can laugh off Pursuit (which only does ~35% if you stay in), set up Reflect, and again laugh at the "prediction" the Tyranitar user made. Or you can have more fun with Thunder wave of even Hidden Power Fighting and just continue to lol. If you don't Crunch Cresselia, you lose to Cresselia. And since most people don't Crunch Cresselia (hahahaha idiots) Tyranitar and any other physical sweeper is walled. Hard.

    As far as Tyranitar counters go, they take hits just as well as Hipowdon (bulky fighters I mean). Hippowdon doesn't have the resistance to Crunch, something Machamp boasts. Machamp cannot 2HKO with Earthquake and will lose to Machamp as well as Hariyama and other fighters. They are more reliable than Hippowdon IMO because they don't fold to its other variants, like Boah and Ice Beam DDtar.

    Again, Pursuiting Cresselia isn't going to work. Ever. My Cresselia has never once been killed by a Tyranitar. They're very predictable and a lot of people don't know how to use CBtar very well.

    Who keeps Cresselia on Tyranitar? And yes, with Blissey, they usually switch out in fear of an EQ or something along those lines.

    There are a few Bulky fighters that can come in, but they cannot take the hits as well as Hippowdon.

    Ew no CBtar should almost always Crunch. There aren o mind games. Cresselia used Reflect! Tyranitar was nerfed!

    BTW bulky fighters also counter CBtar and there are several good switches (but not quite counters) on it, which makes it rather hard to use.

    And I actually don't have a battle log I'm working on. I just fear that my next installment will be BeachBoy weak!

    Well, I have Luke's battle log on my plate, along with mine after that.

    Work on it and send it to me for double check? And haha love that term. "YOU ARE BEACHBOY WEAK"

    GO GO GO CBTar mind games! Will I Pursuit or will I Crunch? Such a fun tool, easily my favorite set consdering only Hippowdon can efficiently counter it, even still, a defense drop can efficiently put a dent in it.

    What happened yesterday?

    The fact that you have to sacrifice something makes Blissey scary

Yeah, this is it for me. Five years ago today, I joined PC. Now my time here is coming to a close a half a decade later.

I won't go too in-depth here besides to say that my battling skills (and interest, to some degree) have eroded to the point where they couldn't be salvaged without time and effort that I can no longer muster. Furthermore, it just hasn't been all that fun for several years now for a ton of different reasons I do not wish wish to list, and having fun is the point...

This blog won't be very long. I obviously haven't posted many of these. Yeah, school can be a pain when you have a lot of homework and not a lot of energy.

Anyway, I originally thought that the second iteration of Stage 3 (to use Smogon's wording) would just be Manaphy and the already-OU Latias...and that's how it was going to be. But now Garchomp is being added into the test according to Jumpman, I would assume due to the close 44-41 vote in favor of it being Uber.

I figured I'd have some fun and predict the Stage 3 voting results. You can post some too if you'd like. I'll probably be wrong on about all of these, but I thought I'd have some fun so why not?


Shaymin-S - Uber

I think this will be voted Uber, actually. I think people are afraid of hax and afraid of Skymin's power and Speed. I actually don't blame them--it's a pretty effective Pokemon. I just wish...

They have finally been released, and you can find them here. I'm glad they're out, especially since I contributed to them this time around :3

The biggest "shocker" to me was Blissey at number 14 (if you include the Rotom formes, which I will do for this whole entry). How the mighty have fallen. Blissey is probably the best defensive Pokémon in the game, and it's not even close to the top ten. As a user of Blissey, my guess is that Blissey being vulnerable to Trick as well...

I know, long time, no see, right? People often complain about how S&M is dead, and while there isn't much we can do about that (after all, we cannot control who decides to frequent in the section), I figured that I might as well start using this again to maybe, possibly start some discussion. Honestly, I am still a bit puzzled by the failure of the Metagame Discussion Thread, and the best conclusion I can come to is that it failed because it was too bland or boring in some way. Hopefully I can...
