Hi all, I have a some proposals to make RBY more consistent with later gens since consistency is very important in team tours. 1. Bo1 - this is obvious lol why is RBY the only gen that’s Bo3 2. Patch 1/256 - other gens have their 100% accurate moves hit all the time so RBY should be like this...

[OVERVIEW] Fearow's combination of sky-high Attack, Normal-type STAB, and excellent Speed makes it the premier offensive threat in the tier as well as perhaps the single most dominant Pokemon overall. It blasts opponents with powerful attacks early- and mid-game, and if it's left healthy it can...

[OVERVIEW] Porygon's decent bulk, Normal typing, and access to Recover and Thunder Wave make it one of the best defensive Pokemon in the tier. Very few Pokemon are able to 2HKO Porygon, which allows it to switch directly into attacks and use Recover to remove the damage it takes from switching...

[OVERVIEW] At first glance, Magmar appears to be outclassed by Arcanine and Rapidash. The former is much bulkier, and the latter crucially outspeeds Fearow. However, Magmar has a unique niche thanks to its diverse movepool, making it a good lead. Moves like Psychic, Confuse Ray, and Counter...

[OVERVIEW] Hitmonchan has the honor of being the worst fully evolved Fighting-type in a generation where most Fighting-types are terrible. Hitmonchan is an awful Pokemon with almost no redeeming qualities; It's much weaker than other physical attackers such as Fearow, Pinsir, and Machamp, and...
