  1. Ubers (Pokemon banned from the OverUsed tier): Pokemon to be unbanned: Deoxys-S:
  2. Round 2. FAITO. Pokemon marked in Red are proposed to move up in tiers. Pokemon marked in Blue are proposed to move down in tiers. Ubers (Pokemon banned from the OverUsed tier): OverUsed (Pokemon banned from the Borderline tier)*: *A note about Reborn's OU: One of the greatest appeals of Reborn is that we do not follow Smogon tiering. Drizzle+SwiftSwim will not be banned here in the foreseeable future, and if it is (unlikely), SandStream+SandRush and Drought+Chlorophyll will go right along with it. Pokemon like Blaziken and Garchomp that have been banned by Smogon are probably not going to make it to Ubers here for the sake of preserving a (reasonably balanced) environment in which they can still be used. Shadow Tag Chandelure is another such case, but we have had an in depth discussion on it recently in which justification for its ban could not be logically resolved. Borderline (Pokemon banned from the UnderUsed tier): UnderUsed (Pokemon banned from the LittleUsed tier): LittleUsed (Pokemon banned from NeverUsed tier): NeverUsed (Pokemon not banned from any tier): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Descriptions for all of these choices are found in the posts below, tier by tier. Rule #1- Discussion of these Tiers should be kept off of the main server chaat. Back channels are fine, and posting the log if something is decided might be nice- but for the most part let's try and keep tier discussion to the forum (server talk about tiers tends to turn hostile). Preferably this topic, but if a single Pokemon warrants a high amount of debate, a separate topic can be made for it. Rule #2- ITT: Opinions And chances are, someone does not share the same opinion as you. But we are contesting ideas, not people. Remain respectful of those ideas, and the people behind them. The Pokemon currently listed to be un/banned are not set in stone, however, we WILL vote for them. Pokemon can be added to this list if there is a suggestion and a Second for it. As discussion goes on, I will update the below posts with any other suggested Pokemon, as well as summations of the defense for already-listed ones. Discussion will be open for one or two weeks. If, by Monday the 23rd, there is no continued discussion on this or peripheral threads, we will vote then. If there is, it will be post-poned one week. After that vote has been resolved, tiers will be adjusted, and discussion will be open for another two weeks to make any final changes (after everything moves around, there might be a few things unbalanced again) so after two more weeks, a third and final vote will be had on any new propositions. Concerning this third period, Pokemon may not go into double jeopardy unless there is significant reason for them to be reconsidered. For instance, suppose Celebii drops down to UU, but Crobat stays in BL. It then might turn out Celebii is too powerful in UU- Crobat could be reccomended to drop down to UU to serve as a counter for the new UU Celebii with Taunt, Brave Bird and 4x U-Turn. After several more weeks a final vote will be had, and after that, tiers will be considered settled again. Scoring system: Votes are scored on point, not majority: Outliers (more than one tier in the reverse suggested direction, more than three in the intended) will be removed except in special cases (like Thundurus. ._.). Point values will be averaged, and scored as such: This topic is now open for discussion! Remember, keep it all off of main chat, please!
  3. Raticate. ...It's really weird, sorry, but the first time I played against Twitch in League of Legends, his summoner name was Ryner. So now I always think of Twitch when I see your name. :x
  4. All three will be moved to LU (cut-off of score of 1) To summarise what was talked about on the server, the votes are by points, not majority. I said this in the opening post. It was criticised that I should have been more specific, but I didn't want people abusing the system. I'll correct that mistake next time then. The scale is simply doubled; the relative ranges are the same. Those ratings would not have made a difference. I think this is appropriate, however, given that NU is generally reserved for the Pokemon that you look at and it's just like 'what am I going to do with this...'. Whereas all three of these are core pieces of many creative teams. It also gives us just one weather free tier- and you know me, I love me some weather, but it's nice to have one spot without it. There was mention of doing it as a test-ban. If we had significant data and players in NU and LU, that might be effective. However, as I said in the original thread, there will be a final voting period for last minute adjustments. If it can be justified after the second voting, I'll allow double jeopardy on these. That gives two or three weeks to do what testing can be done, and present a case in the adjusted tiers. Fair?
  5. ...Wait, when did I become me again? Woo!

  6. Uh... Can't kick start the server like usual...? This calls for a Nyunyu

      jk, I was just derping

  7. Well, maybe something would happen over the summer anyway. It's not like you'll never speak again, especially if you two are really meant for each other.
  8. Auuuu...?

  9. ...Awwww, I'm sorry. :c Are you okay?
  10. You should switch Mantine to center, that way Gyarados can have and safely use Earthquake for a double KO. Lightning Rod will still work.
  11. tbh, I haven't played it- I got it and my copy was broken... but it looks really cute. :c
  12. ...Well played, Cyrus. Well played.

  14. A thousand androids of the Marketplace empire descend on us. Their clients will blot out the screen. http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9118/aaaahndroids.png

  15. Xenosaga is half movie/half game. Not kidding; hour long cutscenes- they have save points in the middle of cutscenes just in case. Tales of is chibi-er Star Ocean, basically, but a great standard.
  16. Playstation has the best RPGs. where to start Um. *types out a list of 40+ games most of which he hasn't actually played but wants to, and then delets it* Xenosaga Eternal Poison Tales of the Abyss
  17. So why isn't there one for Harky yet? Happy birthday Hark! Stay cute~
  18. Whaaaaat? I've never heard this, what's the story there?
  19. Difference itself is destructive; religion just happens to be an easier target after people have determined it for themselves, and thereby naturally think that they are right. It's discrimination with inherent egocentricism- so there's really no other way that it possibly could be.
  20. If you go to someone's profile, near the top, there's a little button that says 'Add as a Friend'
