Excluding RBY for obvious reasons, what is the most functional team you can make for a generation of OU, using only Pokémon from one different generation? For example a GSC team built around Snorlax, Zapdos, Cloyster, and three more Gen 1 mons, or a DPP team built around Tyranitar, Skarmory...

Probably much too late, but duplicating items by use of the cloning glitch is trivial in Gen 2. There are only a few well-timed off-switches between you and six Leftovers (and I always make sure to duplicate TMs before I use them).

So either Platinum or SoulSilver, then? Thank you!

I'm not sure if this is best suited to this subforum, or RoA, but what's the strongest Gen 4 (Ubers) team you can build from a single cartridge, not using trades or glitches? What are the most important differences between the five versions, of DPP and HGSS?

I just want to say how I really like that all three starters are not only viable, but top-tier on the viability ranking list. What are the important roles here, can anyone give me a quick rundown?

Actually, ? is a bad move. ?! is a dubious move that can't be refuted directly, whereas !? is a highly original move that may not be entirely sound. The single ! denotes a good move, !! is a brilliant move, and the ?? is simply a disastrous blunder.

You never specified which generation, so I can't vote. Then again, I don't recognize Mega Evolutions as being part of Pokémon, so I wouldn't have voted anyway.

What's the easiest way to obtain Remoraid, Mareep and Girafarig on a single cartridge of Pokémon Crystal, without trading? I suppose there has to be a way to use glitches in one way or another.

I vote for Magnezone.

That is wrong. The Red Gyarados can be female, as evidenced by several playthroughs and resets, which would indicate that the Attack DV is not fixed.

The early Water stone is only available in Crystal. In Gold/Silver, you have to wait until well into the postgame, making Staryu considerably less effective. Crystal also has Thunderbolt and Ice Beam, for the postgame, if the early Water stone wasn't enough to set C Staryu apart from G/S Staryu.

I vote for Lanturn.

Skarmory @ Leftovers - Drill Peck - Curse - Rest - Sleep Talk Curse will shore up Skarmory's defenses where at only +1, even Return misses the 3hko through Leftovers. Rest is self-explanatory, Drill Peck its best attacking move. Sleep Talk is just a paranoia move against Lovely Kiss, where only...

So the statement that Snorlax is #1 in GSC and a top 3 Pokémon that should be on every team in RBY is not only applicable to OU, but Ubers as well? Snorlax is truly the soul of the old generations.

If we go by the assumption of Big 3 > Exeggutor > Starmie > Alakazam > Rest of OU, which gap is the more significant one?

Which games have the best in-game trades, in terms of availability and in-game performance?

It's almost like there is no Big Four, but a Normal-type Big Three that need to be on every team closely followed by a Psychic-type Big Three who are good enough to be on every team.

Is there a viability ranking list for RBY Tradebacks? If not, is it possible to make one?

The initial idea is that you simply lose the route. This only really matters on Route 22, since the presence of a Nidoran greatly improves your team in the early game.

I understand why you have Articuno and Jynx on this list, and I agree that they belong at the top if they are on the list in the first place, but for the sake of decency, call it something like late-game Water- or Ice-types instead! Where do you think Squirtle ranks on this list, and how much...
