Greene has spoken. ALL HAIL GREENE!!!
-Facetable-

There's been a recent spike in leagues starting new threads for with titles like -Reborn or -Unleashed and whatnot, and although some have legitimate reasons, others are just ding it for the fun of it, and the first page is clogged with normal league threads and these new ones.

Yea I noticed, it annoyed me because I put it on mine first because it was what it was, then Arceus copied (as is his habit, his original BF OP used to be a carbon copy of Aero's old Aero League OP). No idea about the TD one; not even sure how they were allowed open that again without the owner specifically handing it down to someone.

I've been waiting for someone to make some sort of remark about TD. The fact remains the original owner went AWOL, and the mods gave permission to reopen as long as whenver SD comes back he regains control. Its a good thing too have some new leagues because the old ones were dying, plain and simple.

Hey Arcanist...don't run Meteor Mash and complain when it misses lol. I never run it in my Gross sets. I' had it miss FOUR times in a row once...so I stopped using it.

The reason a lot of the old ones die out is because either they aren't good, they aren't being run properly, or there is no interest. TD may have initially has a spike of popularity but that soon wained and it was constantly on and off hiatus. That being said, considering there was already too many leagues, losing old ones does not mean they have to be replaced.

I'll point out TD was continually popular until it closed for reconstructing, then the owner disappeared. If it proves to be a flop, thats thats. Team Destiny at least was UNIQUE, compared to many threads that are carbon copies, and had active and filled leaders. Heart & Soul League is an example of a good league because..well, it is the biggest league here. Other leagues were inventive, but failed to keep active leaders. No active leaders = no active thread = dead )=

TD was hardly original. :/ It's still a "Face my gyms which are all assigned a type, then face the higher up people who each have types, then you win!" type gym. It was just cloaked with the mask that was different positions. If you narrow it down to the core, it's essentially the exact same thing as all the rest. This is just how I see it however, if you disagree, you disagree and I won't argue that.

Original leagues are pretty much impossible. It's either use specific types, or use no specific types. I personally feel the only reason there's more than one surviving is because there are lulls in activity in one or the other league at a time, so people congregate to the more active league at the moment because they want to battle with a reason (obtaining a badge).

Yeah, cause remember Pokemon is REAL SERIOUS BUSINESS.
When you come here and try to discuss stuff about tiers and the like (which is in the competitive genre), it is quite serious. A good amount of us take pokemon seriously. :/ To each his own I guess.

Brining up Seriousness
What Do people think of Latios in the OU teir as a bigger discussion in my opinion than Garchomp.
Of course problems Arise a Offensive Latios and a Defensive latias can together cover their backs if latias Lures a counter Then the late game sweep can go to latios.
And you cant argue they are the same so have the same weaknesses both have awesome potential and lots of veriatey and Arguabley Latias is far more variable than Latios.
Latios Carry's the Same offensive capabilities as Gengar But better Defenses although gengar carries many useful immunities and both are relitivley weak to Plenty of Dark Types and with Persuit played then they may find it hard to flee.
So can anyone else see why they Latios should stay Uber if many teams already account for Latias and Gengar then Latios is already covered with these teams. anyhow I like the teirs as they are but Latios is in my opinion the Biggest Concern with them

Um.... no. Latias is easily killed, by a lot of stuff.

Any strong SE attack will kill it (Meaning, Dark, Ghost, Ice, Dragon, etc) and those attacks are some of the most common. CBTar kills anything besides the Reflect CM set, unless it predicts the Reflect and hits with Crunch instead of Pursuit. Salamence kills it, as long as the Latias switches in on it. Yeah, lots of stuff keep it in check so no it's not a problem imo.

Latias can also be OKO'd by U-Turn from Scizor quite easily.

But Reflect makes it a 2HKO, and if Scizor is your only counter, it can never kill the Reflect version unless you use Bug Bite or X-Scissor.

Oh really now? Because they're the most common ones. It's honestly stupid to carry around Latias without Reflect because it'll die to everything.

Also, I wasn't talking about you in particular, so I don't know where you got that from, I was talking about Scizor killing it in general, because that's what it sounded like you were talking about.
