I think Aero and Forever have a point. It's not really them being lazy but the annoyance of having to open up the alt thread to check who someone is, I mean I'm not trying to sound stuck in the past but when we used Shoddy and people mainly used their PC usernames, it was not only a.) easier to...

Is this place still alive? :(

Best way to improve is just to grind the Smogon ladder to be honest.

Switching out has been a staple of the game since it's inception. I don't see how a mechanic that rewards strategic thinking can be irritating personally. As for the actual topic I'm surprised to have not encountered it much yet but I suspect that's because I'm still laddering against very...

You misspelt Pokedra in the thread title.

Just make Mega Kingdra, give it Sheer Force and I'll be a happy man. Gamefreak plz :<

I doubt the program will be a massive hit right off the bat, we'd have to start small. Say 5 tutors (DA, wolf, karp, Anti, Vance) and 5 tutees and have the program run for a duration of time. Then move into another phase and increase the amount of tutors/tutees.
