    hard pass on RU lol, i only play adv/dpp/oras ou when i have time, which isn't that often these days -- usually dpp bc the games are pretty fast-paced. i've become a pokemon boomer where some of the new mechanics/designs/conventions in the franchise feel like they've passed me by a lil bit. at...

    i went to the PC forum a few months ago and found it to be kind of a ghost town. obv the battling stuff is gone but i mean the whole thing. it had like a pokemonelite2k vibe or something lol. it was a bummer but maybe it was just a dead time of year. anyway, i'm actually on the discord but never...

  3. Gen 3 ADV Baton Pass v184

    StatPass Celebi isn't broken, which is why I called it collateral. We all know the actual target. It's just really, really hard to make a BP clause that both preserves the diversifying benefits of the move and prohibits its many, many abuses. Trying to do so is a fool's errand. But if we do try...

  4. Gen 3 ADV Baton Pass v184

    The title of this thread is a massive indictment on how this has been handled so far. Baton Pass is obviously broken, and it’s so broken that multiple attempts to constrain it — from much better players than me — have failed…again, and again, and AGAIN. If the community doesn’t want to ban it to...

    I come here all the time to watch tournament replays during lunch breaks. Lately that's meant the ORAS replays for Masters, and ngl it's kind of a miserable metagame IMO. I feel like I keep seeing the same 5 teams on repeat. I always watch SPL for the ADV and DPP matches, so looking forward to...

  6. OU DPP OU Metagame Discussion Thread

    Baton Pass is a broken move, so it should stay banned. Drypass isn't broken, but Excal's excellent post earlier summed up the issue here where, for some reason, there are always these efforts worthy of the mental gymnastics meme to preserve "legitimate" applications of the move. Remember the...

  7. Sports NBA Thread: 2022-2023 Season

    Ignoring the Ja Morant situation for a moment, how many teams in the Western Conference playoff race would you feel confident about Memphis beating in a playoff series assuming good health? Their half-court offense at the end of games is completely inept. "They just need Steven Adams back" is...

    What's up?! I like to follow SPL for the ADV/DPP/ORAS games. I don't have any time to play these days so watching replays scratches the itch.

  9. Lower Tiers ADV Ubers Metagame Discussion

    Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but while trying to learn about this metagame, I've found it pretty hard to find anything up-to-date on some of the Pokemon, especially Groudon and Kyogre. Are the sets from either the sample teams or from the linked mini-analysis thread in this post...

    How did you RNG that Moltres you used in your BT streak? I had thought it was impossible in XD and unreliable in FRLG? I'd love to get one for myself! Thanks.

  11. Gen III Battle Frontier Discussion and Records

    This thread is awesome! Some amazing strategies and teams in here, many of which I would never have the patience to actually use. Lots of fun reads and useful resources so major thanks to everyone involved! Anyway, I suppose I should share my Battle Tower streak on retail. I've been trying to...

  12. OU On the Baton Pass issue

    Before addressing the issues of collateral, I want to just say that Baton Pass is a broken move. We have over a decade of evidence from multiple generations and tiers that the mechanic of passing boosts and other conditions to other Pokemon can be easily abused in flagrantly broken combinations...

    yeah i sent you a dm, no char limit might be easier. but yes i am simply thrilled that you've been indoctrinated by emerald frontier--tbh now i kind of enjoy getting haxed, like obviously it's garbage but the insane bad luck you can get is kind of captivating. it defies all belief in a very fun...

    also, there's a good thread in orange islands here for battle frontier. the only way to really be consistent in the frontier is AI manipulation and some of the players there take it to seriously impressive degrees. it's practically solved at this point. but since you can get the gold symbols...

    what sets don't you like? i've been watching the tournament replays on here on my lunch breaks and most of the stuff people are using seems pretty solid. i tried getting back into it a year or so ago and got discouraged by BP cheese on the ladder but with that on its way out i might try for real...

    it would probs have to be adv, nothing against "ZU" but hard to get into the newer games and esp the lower tiers when i literally haven't heard of several of the mons. i'm plenty alive though, it's pokecommunity that's dead. i use their server to use the PS teambuilder to mock out ingame ev...

    nice. i recently did another playthrough and got a shiny lotad by chance 27 mins into the game, so i looked up shiny egg rng and redid all the rngs for shinies. also, colosseum retail is doable now, and xd is supposed to be too (just haven't done it yet), so got perfect shiny...
