I don't know if I want to see a Sinnoh remake already. DPPt felt like one of the most complete games, I feel there's not enough room to make decent improvements yet. It'd be a shame if it would just be another DP game, but only restyled. And it makes me feel outdated because Diamond is the most recent game I've played yet.

They're not even that bad. Gyarados, Umbreon, Dragonite and Gengar are used a lot on Smogon at least. Don't underestimate Umbreon's tankyness and access to STAB Foul Play.

Yeah I guess you're right. I'll try to get some decent movepools from people on the forum.
Still, I reaaaally want Dragonair instead of Dragonite, I will seriously never get over that lmao

Same feelings here, Guardian. I have no idea how to properly use an Abomasnow, so I just hide in my inverse battling dungeon because that's where it'll be strongest. :X

I never liked the idea that some Pokemon outclass others, and I get that it's all in the use, but some Pokemon just aren't equal to each other in power.

The most I do is random battles or Challenge Cup because it's chaotic and I find fun in that.

Random battles save the effort of team building and they can be really funny because you can't plan your team in advance, but I'm not really a fan of full random (or whatever it's called) where you get random Pokémon with random moves that are often not really useful with held items like fossils and berries you've never even heard of. The lack of balance is higher than normal.

Random Battles are literally the only thing I do on showdown.

Same, but I mostly suck at competitive as a whole. When there's a mini-tourney I almost always lose in the first round unless some dumb luck works in my favour.

Just to let you guys know I'll be taking off the 'DCC' and putting this game with the rest. Nothing will change! You can chatter all you want it just won't be stickied and be the 'official' DCC of this place because does this place really need one? Not really :b

I guess this isn't exactly a big loss, but I kinda feel that a decent portion of this thread's success was possibly due to its stickiness and its DCC status. However, I also guess we're at the point where most people already know this is a chatting thread, so hopefully the activity won't be hurt too badly.

I'll agree with Revise, I kinda wish it was a sticky thread. I mean all DCC threads are sticky, and this IS a sticky thread :/

Also I see many stalkers down there, Im glad at least that hasn't changed hahahaha.

3..2..1... GOGOGO

Ghost status GET! I'd like to be Darkrai.

I'm pretty sure that losing the sticky and DCC status won't reduce activity because this has been running so long.

Adding on to what was said before, the Bulbasaur Race has seen quite a few activity drops in the past because mainly the only people who know that it's a chatting thread are the people who actually post (or lurk) there, and/or people who are willing to try out new games. But again, luckily most people here already know that this is a chatting thread, though it might be a little hard to attract the attention of newcomers to this thread without its sticky DCC status.

If anyone feels that a thread needs a boost in activity, let me know. I can try to get the word out on PC's Twitter and maybe make use of the hashtag?

I think this thread will be fine if it's no longer stickied with the DCC prefix. It's active enough that it won't drop down off the front page, and so long as the title doesn't change, it'll be fine to skim through looking for it.

I'll let you guys know that DLTMS0 and TCTI (over in the playground) didn't suffer (okay maybe tcti did but i'll get to that) from losing their sticky status because the regulars kept coming even though they weren't stickied. Sure, not many new people really come into the thread but that might be because it's kinda hard to jump into the discussions over there. Here on the other hand I feel it's much easier. And if it's on the same page as the Bulbasaur Race then maybe that one's activity will be boosted who knows.

Basically we're trying to balance the threads so that more activity in general will spark. Pokemon Trivia doesn't suffer from it as much as other places, but eh who knows.

And like I said: this thread is not going to be 'the DCC' anymore so the whole 'it should be stickied because it's a DCC' isn't exactly a good argument sorry Sven.

You're the MOD, you know the best :)

Could you just tell us why exactly DCC is removed from the thread? I dont get it because this thread is, indeed a Daily Chit Chat, and its not really taking up too much space.

Also, while I do agree that "this place doesnt need to be stickied in order to be active", it definitely is going to lose on activity eventually for different reasons.

Anyway, yeah, my point is not to argue, Im just curious why exactly its not in the stickies anymore?

This thread is just as much a chit-chat as the Bulbasaur Race and honestly you can literally have a little chitchat in any other thread if you wanted. People are generally drawn to chitchats and sometimes tend to just stick with the sticky threads. If you put them below with the other threads then they're likely to notice those and check them out as well.

I have another reason too, but I'm not going to divulge it. Just keep an eye on PC the following weeks and you'll notice.

But for the record as long as you guys keep coming around it'll be okay. Just like DLTMS0 and TCTI who people had the same concerns when they were unstickied. And they're pretty much like this thread just with different counting.

I freaked out when I saw the thread gone. :D;

Eh, I mean, I don't see too harsh of consequences considering there's emblems to win, and this is really the only thread on Trivia that explicatively allows chitter chatter, but ... I can see see death eventually. Granted, this isn't the most intriguing game on Trivia.. :X

Hopefully we won't let that happen, though!

what happens in the following weeks do we get ice cream

The Bulbasaur Race thread is another thread like this one. It allows chit-chat on anything Pokemon-related as we count. Right now, we're talking about what we'd like to see in the new Z version. Before, we were talking about Super Mystery Dungeon.

This thread isn't the only one for chit-chat. I don't know about any other threads, but I know for sure that the Bulbasaur Race does because that's the main reason I post in that thread (and this one). I like the chit-chat with y'all.

I did but I was kind of ninja'd several times before I actually posted my comment and by that point what I said was irrelevant for exactly that reason. :X

I just changed the number so I'd be less embarrassing. XD;

In other news, I'm excited to see what this surprise is all about. But I suppose we're just gonna have to keep hush hush about it now. I like surprises.

Alright Tara, I'll trust your decision! :D

Anyway, since it looks like we've reached a dead end on this topic, I might as well bring up another! What kind of new features would you like to see in the next Pokémon games? (Or are there any past features which have been removed that you would like to see back?)
