i think we should change the rules so that you can get reqs with multiple alts and get an extra vote for each. want to ban bloodmoon? sorry, john ursaluna spent 2 weeks getting reqs everyday and thinks it should stay

i was willing to accept lando dropping due to his huge movepool nerfs plus powercreep but now he's top 5 usage and it frightens me. im convinced the only way to push lando out of the top of ou is to not put him in the game or just make effectively lando 2 thats better in every way.

examples like dark void and soul heart make me think game freak intentionally made them pretty overpowered because they're not allowed in vgc. game freak can make some silly decisions but i can imagine they knew full well how ridiculous a spread sleep move on something as fast as darkrai would...

i think part of the idea of a tera blast ban is the subtext that tera as a whole won't be banned, which is pretty likely. it's way too popular amongst both casuals and top players to just be completely deleted, so a tera blast ban is something that makes tera less cheesy while being more likely...

imo i would rather some of the better types get nerfed a bit than buffing the worse ones. it makes the game more interesting when types have clearly defined roles like how ice is great offensively and awful defensively. i like the idea of a type like water being good at offense and defense but...

i feel like the points about sleep not being broken kinda miss the mark because we already decided long ago that it is, hence why we have sleep clause. no one is arguing for unrestricted sleep because it's a mechanic that is fundamentally broken and uncompetitive and only really held in place...

i think archaludon is probably the latest bloomer of them all considering it took 3 years to evolve. makes all the other pseudos look like a bunch of phonies

ik this is a tired discussion but acting like restricting terapagos from tera'ing is the same as banning blaziken from using z moves is so disingenuous. terapagos literally becomes a new mon with different stats and ability, it's not the same as saying eleki can't tera. not even trying to say...

can you check what the new moves do?

gouging fire has me a bit underwhelmed, i was hoping for something crazier like wake and raging bolt. iron boulder looks so silly though, actually kinda like it lol

what was wrong with the crown tundra unbanning? it was sorted out quickly and its how we realized blaziken wasnt actually that broken. sure the meta was chaotic for a bit but it really didn't last that long.

speculating on dropping ubers is fun but i just don't think anything with cover legendary stats + a giant movepool can be balanced in ou. you can point to mons who can hit similar numbers or run similar sets but the fact solgaleo has the stats and moves to reasonably be choice band or a calm...

i guess it could be that astera on most mons is nerfed protean while terapagos' ability makes it so it has unnerfed protean? and it could be an ability locked to tera'ing like embody aspect, so it wouldn't be a huge deal for future games that have terapagos but no tera. that being said the...

really fascinates me how hard people turned on hgss tbh, feels like not too long ago it was considered easily one of the best pokemon games. personally i have a lot of fond memories of playing it but it really does feel hard to get into it now. an underrated problem with the games imo is that...

i think it's really cool and tbh i wish it was done more often. a lot of fan projects from my experience will just give you a pick from random set of starters (or at times even just all of them) and i wish people experimented mroe with alternative starting pkmn. i can understand the hesitancy...
