Alrighty sooo, Victory Road has become a little bit cluttered and a bunch of formerly-used threads are no longer seeing use, meaning they will be unpinned. (Not deleted, just unpinned)

If for whatever reason, you want to find a thread, but cannot seem to find it through the search bar, and it (used to be/is) in Victory Road, feel free to click on the links provided below for all the (now) unpinned threads!

Battling 101, learn the basics and advanced stuff for competitive battling:

Balance in All Things: A Guide to the Balanced Playstyle by Hukuna, with Input by Destructive Skitty.

Balls to the Wall: a guide to HO by Slant and Destructive Skitty

Battling 101 - a guide by Slant and Destructive Skitty

Road Of The Kings. [A Basic Guide to VGC]

Tutoring

This list is subject to change at any time, but as far as I'm concerned now, these topics aren't really used anymore, but still have a bit of juice left in them.

Are you sure this is a correct action? The two are fundamentally different. One is supposed to be like a library that includes battling tips, guides to forming teams and valuable showcases (used to have a collaboration of useful sets too), and is meant to be a school, thus the name. The other is supposed to be about weekly tourneys and various leagues. It's supposed not to have many topics active at once.

Unless the ongoing tourneys are pinned topics and are deleted after their end, there is going to be a chaos in the subforum. You are merging different things.

Quoted from the thread that announced the merging of the two subforums...

I really think that the subforum should split back to its two former parts. It's getting cluttered and chaotic, completely different things co-exist (the old theme tours threads mixed with the teambuilding workshops and other topics about comp battling and the Redemption threads and whatnot.

The saddest part is seeing these specific threads get downgraded. They were pinned for a reason, and that's because they are a very valuable resource about competitive battling in the community. They are not topics that will gather replies and discussion, and that's not their point. Their point is to be there for everyone to be able to take a glance or more at them.

I think that we as a community should rather look to upgrade the competitive battling knowledge and resources part instead of burying it further and further with the merge of the subforums and then the unpinning. If you think they don't gather much attention or views or replies or are outdated: find someone to update them. Create more about other formats and playstyles. Why shouldn't we as a community try to amass knowledge about it for the members that want to get into it, instead of having them rely on other forums like Smogon for everything.

A great example of this bizareness: the VGC guide, getting pinned immediately after it was made, depined after three months. What changed?!

(and I think that Redemption league could get a subforum pretty soon to get its own space instead of the current happy mix we've got here)

Just because a topic gets unpinned, doesn't mean it no longer serves a purpose.

I've linked the guides up there for a reason, but the battling guides could get a refresher or two.

As for the League getting its own section, that depends on how successful it gets over the next period.
