  1. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    Where are people getting their information about x&y from? I thought that the info was still being collected, but showdown has a relatively complete x&y beta tier already, so the information must be out there... The research thread in the orange islands is the best I've found, but that's...
  2. Satire

    The best satire I've ever seen is Look Around You (the original series, fuck season 2). It is a pitch perfect parody of educational films of the 80s-90s. Seriously, just watch one episode. If you like the onion, check out satirewire. They have a couple of real classics. Does not update very...
  3. OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    1. T-tar and hippo can work on the same team. You are compounding some weaknesses that you'll need to cover, and your team becomes slightly more defensively slanted. These aren't necessarily problems, just things to keep in mind building the team. 2. Starmie works fine as a spinner in sand. It...
  4. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/customgame-16471952 A random person challenged me. Once I got to the game, my pokemon were all level 1000, while my opponent's were level 100 still. I looked at the team in the teambuilder afterward and took it out for a ladder battle and they were level 100.
  5. chaos answers your questions on YouTube

    What was project Metachu? What happened to it?
  6. Reflecting on BW and Looking Ahead to Gen VI - SEE POST #508

    Every generation has had its own feel to it. I didn't play generation 1 or 2, but from hearsay... Generation 1 was about fearsomely powerful pokemon with odd mechanics, chess like interactions and psychic dominance. Generation 2 was about stall, spikes, leftovers, rest and snorlax...
  7. Pokémon Conquest

    I've heard that for the postgame, you lose most of your data, at least until you beat the postgame content. The exception is the evolutions of your warlords. My question is: do the evolutions of your warriors also carry over? I want to know before I spend any time with them...
  8. favorite vidya games

    Oh hey there My opinion on games hasn't changed since then, so I'll just repost what I wrote about my faves then: Exploration: Wind Waker I love just exploring an ambient environment. Wind Waker had it's flaws (islands that are clones of each other), but that feeling of exploring this...
  9. Europa Universalis III

    I usually play with the whole world mod, because I hate permanent terra incognita, and it gives the natives a sliiiiiightly better chance (and I like to play as them sometimes). It also adds some fun scenarios like uniting India or Japan. The games I've had the most fun with were uniting Japan...
  10. Magic: The Gathering

    Disclaimer: I am not a good player, I just follow casually. As far as the signets, he was probably referring to the fact that they are mana acceleration AND fixing for every color. That super breaks the color pie and enables crazy mana bases. As for Cavern, I have no idea what type of effect...
  11. Standup Comedy

    Eddie Izzard is the best standup comedian of all time. A bunch of his stuff is on netflix so watch that shit asap. Dimitri Martin, Mitch Hedburg and Maz Jobrani are all excellent too. I haven't seen Maz mentioned yet, he's part of the "Axis of Evil" comedy group, a bunch of middle eastern...
  12. Most improved Pokemon (NO DW ALLOWED)

    You clearly weren't playing at the beginning of 4th gen, before platinum. Choice scarf gengar was everywhere for awhile, I think gengar was even the most used pokemon for a bit. Choice scarf gengar with hypnosis was THE lead for awhile. And while the disable boost was definitely a good thing...
  13. The Rage of Wikipedia Scholars itt

    Banning wikipedia citations makes sense because it's a goddamn encyclopedia. Encyclopedias should never be your sources for serious work.
  14. I Nidoking for this team

    I was a little bit confused with your play/commentary on Slowbro... You never seemed to factor regenerator into your thoughts, and also seemed to think it would the battle against landorus when landorus was only doing 38% with its earthquakes. Fun battle to read
  15. Pokemon Showdown bug reports

    I think you saw this in chat, but my internet cut out so I'm posting here to be sure. I used fire blast on an opponent's pokemon that was frozen. They didn't thaw out (and fire blast didn't miss). If you look at "Descriptions of common effects" on...
  16. I would like to be a moderator (or unbanned)

    Oh damn, and I thought I was a lurker Also, I clearly deserve mods too
  17. Logic Versus Emotion

    Emotion IS logic. Emotion is a mechanism that evolved to make quick and accurate decisions. In the real world, you have to come to snap decisions, and simply don't have the time to consider every factor, doing so would be paralytic and lead to inaction. Emotion is a calculus that sums up...
  18. Pokemon Showdown (original announcement)

    Wow, this looks awesome! Thank you so much for doing this! A few quick questions about potential features: 1) Can the animations be turned off? 2) Does it collect usage statistics automatically? 3) What is the ladder rating system? Also, previous generation and double/triple/rotation...
  19. Technical Machine: A Pokemon bot

    "The second time, Hippowdon was attempting to use Slack Off, which seems to be an obvious bad move, but apparently not one so bad that TM sees why. Gyarados shows that it has a Life Orb, but unfortunately, I do not have support for Life Orb in my log analysis function, (a shortfall that will...
