hello! to celebrate six years on smogon i'm going to be posting a joke team that actually takes lives (or maybe it's just the ru ladder who knows). i was inspired by esteemed user aurora to make this team, as she was also laddering with a joke team and i wanted to join in on the fun. it's mostly...

Hey guys! I've recently developed a love for rom hacks, as imo the games are honestly just better than the originals. The increased difficulty curve and ability to practically make a team of whatever you want (as all Pokemon are included in most of them) makes playing them a real pleasure. I...

after it became pretty clear that pangoro and moltres were getting banned, i started theorizing about what the new metagame would look like. the first thing that came to mind was that defensive builds would be far, far more effective than before. i've generally always avoided stall teams...

hey guys, gonna keep this short and sweet until i have time to make the OP nice and add more pokemon. basically im looking to build up an army of competitive pokemon (in nice balls, but i'm not too bothered about shininess) across all tiers (because i'd like to get into battling all smogon...

Hi people. I'm Cherub Agent, some of you know me, some of you don't. It's been ages since I've done one of these, and I saw it fitting that this should be my last RMT of Gen 5, as it's for RU, by far my favourite tier. There's just something appealing about a tier that is pretty much completely...

i dunno guys, but after that xbox one reveal i was kinda turned off by this new generation. i don't have a wii u so i can't say anything bad about it, and since it actually looks pretty fun to me i won't judge. but really what i want to talk about here is the good old ps2. this console was a...
