Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I'll have even more things to say later I'm sure, but I wanted to put this extensive and thorough statement out.
I felt the need first to draw some attention to the first match posted in the policy review thread and make some comments upon the points it flags...
OU isn't even finalized yet and already quickbanning things. Literally day 2/3.
It's hard to say who exactly should have the final say in big decisions like this or how long exactly one should let a "problem" persist in seeking a solution before it's "dealt with", but ivory tower approaches...
Not a bug exactly but Castform is missing its shiny gen3 shiny sprite on Showdown. It's purple with gold eyespots. When you select for shiny Castform it's just the default coloring again.
I've been aware of this for a year now but nothing's been done. Not sure who would handle this, but it...
Well I'm specifically talking about the base form, which did have a shiny sprite in RSE. Even if the weather forms wouldn't be any differently colored, it wouldn't mean to me that the base form would be excluded altogether from PS!; especially considering that Jirachi's and Celebi's are...
Some unidentified mod deleted three fairly long effortposts I made (which I also received numerous likes for already, now gone) in the Suggestions forums without warning, despite such not being stated as against the rules here...
It would be complex indeed.
Speaking from my experience with high laddering for gen3randbats, it would depend upon so many different factors, like
which particular contestants you beat
how often you beat them
how often you lose period
how active the ladder actually is (when I was seriously...
Need this. Absolutely everything OP said is true.
I'm not going to make a filthy casuals / l33t proz division here at all, but the fact that so many people take the game so little seriously as OP details, makes the separation between players who are the type to quit / leave early, and those who...
This is definitely annoying when it happens.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem a feasible way to implement this other than introducing a setting like "favorite" for metagame, or maybe a cookie I suppose that keeps track of the latest format played on ladder. Your suggestion is good if it could...
One thing that has been a longtime desire of mine is to hear the actual music of the generation I'm playing. When I'm playing ADV, I want to hear RSE music just like I am seeing RSE graphics, like the trainer battle theme or the champion theme.
As it stands, it's comparable to a scenario where...
Castform is missing its shiny sprite in Gen3 on Showdown, which is purple with gold eyespots. This sprite is absent even from the index of sprites here:
Index of /sprites/gen3-shiny

All there is is the normal sprite. This has been the case...
I agree with Coneydub that the teambuilder still has room for a lot of improvements.
For example, as far as I can tell, there is no way to isolate tiers---you get the highest tier you're building for, and everything below it. I can't see just ADV UUBL mons if I wanted to, the filter doesn't...
I think it should be obvious that mons that were not designed to be NFEs like Scyther and Chansey should be automatically excluded from Little Cup.
It'a not a matter of them being "broken", it's the matter of not even qualifying in the first place.
I think it's rather silly that people see no issue with most teams running Kangaskhan virtually unchallenged.
There are indeed some checks to the mon but there's nothing in the tier that could be used that would discourage anyone from including Kangaskhan on their own team.
Its nigh...
