Count me in. =P

I gotta thing going on Sunday morning but I'll try to get some quality battles in when I return from that. Count me in.

Evolutions for: Faarfetch'd Magcargo Delcatty Electrode Seadra (something other than Kingdra) EEVEE Spinda Mawile Sableye Kricketune Durant Heatmor Pre-evos for: Lapras Kangaskhan Skarmory Tauros Miltank

The thing that's great about EVs and IVs as it is right now is the fact that they're easy to understand, hard to master, but not forced upon the player. I think we can expect the current system to stay similar, but maybe with more items and breeding options to make it more convenient for the player.

I juggled members throughout the story but the team I ended up beating the Elite 4 was... Zoroark- N's, of course Magnezone- I was using Electabuzz at first but Magnezone just took hits better Arcanine- I named it after my dog =P Lucario- This thing rocked so hard. It's diverse move pool made...

I did... :( After the third gym or so I just got rid of my Serperior. I love Snivy and everything, and I'll be training it up now in the post game, but it just wasn't fitting into my team well. I felt so bad about it...

I picked Chimchar in almost all my plays of D/P, simply because there weren't any other options (I refused to use Ponyta). In Platinum, I've used Houndoom and Magmortar in separate files, and they were both excellent teammates.

Bellsprout is able to be legitimately caught in white forest, and thus has its non-DW ability, so it's probably good.

I think the problems are the Volbeat and Regirock. As for Volbeat, it shouldn't have it's dream world ability if it was caught on Route 3. Also, since Regirock was met in the Dream World, its ability should be Sturdy, not Clear Body.

I moderate another forum (albeit smaller than PC) where both systems are used. I was picked just by contributing to the forum and posting because I wanted to not because I thought it'd make me mod. Honesty, I felt more accomplished being picked out of the blue than if they just picked me out of...

I love being able to create a strategy that's far from the norm on Smogon or wherever, and then to see my crazy ideas come together and actually work (or fail miserably). Making a team, losing a few times, realizing why, fixing the team... It's all a ton of fun. Although the most satisfying...

You still lack a spinner, and Thundurus-T, Salamence, and Volcarona all are going to take huge damage if they switch in repeatedly. If you don't like the Starmie set PlatDude suggested, you could go for Hitmontop, but he isn't as effective as Starmie. Hitmontop @ Leftovers 252 HP/252 Defense/4...

I absolutely agree with Steele's suggestion of Scarfed MoxieMence. It's incredible as both a suitable revenge killer and fantastic late game sweeper. Another terribly underrated option is Choice Scarf Haxorus. While not possessing an amazing sweeping ability such as Moxie, it hits like a truck...

Why would shoddy/PO implement an accidental glitch into the battles? Acid rain wasn't supposed to be a gameplay mechanic. Critical hits are. They're a part of the game, and even if a crit costs you a game, I've had plenty of instances where a timely critical hit won a game for me. It all...

I feel a certain way about hax. When it happens to me, I'm upset, but I can't be mad at the opponent or mad at the mechanics of the game. Taking luck completely out of the game makes it no fun. Pokemon aren't robots (well most of them aren't). They're supposed to be creatures and plants...
