I disagree just for the sake of non-conformity. [s]<3 you GG[/s] [s]just kidding, y u so troll[/s] [s]<3[/s]

The good thing about Leafeon is that you can evolve it almost immediately because all you need to do is go to Eterna Forest once you get the Eevee~

You get an Eevee at some point... In Hearthome city, I believe. Using any form of Eevee is always fun~ (Just, good luck if you want Glaceon ._.) Leafeon proved invaluable for me with Synthesis in parts like the Veilstone Galactic HQ, where leaving and healing every few battles would've otherwise been a pain... I don't really know where you'd find a Thunder/Fire/Water Stone so the evolution is up to you, unless someone else has an idea... [quote]Oh, and should I spend a $38 credit at Gamestop for Black & White or for an Action Replay?[/quote] Have you already played either on a ROM like everyone else (might) have? ... well I guess that doesn't really matter; I'm getting Black almost immediately, so naturally I'd suggest something I'm doing myself. [s]Where... IS my Action Replay, anyway...[/s]

Just a quick reply. [quote]Titania > Lin?[/quote] Yes.

Knew that would win it for me. [i][u][b]Creepy[/b][/u] ~Weird ~Annoyingly unpleasant ~Horrifying [s]~Lin[/s][/i]

Even though you watched me edit the card.... [quote][img]http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll193/Ikaru_Kazuna/Everything%20Else/491.gif[/img] [b]Darkrai[/b]: Not Shiny Dark Void Ice Beam Dark Pulse Focus Blast[/quote] Attempting to keep the same team without completely restarting.

[quote](14:55:56) +Ikaru: ...uh oh (14:55:58) +Ikaru: drama time[/quote] <3 EDIT: Gardevoir, maybe you should cover those days as well and see who did better?~

Waiting for our turn to battle in the league...

[s]You guys clearly never tried Agility Scizor...[/s] Pretty much what they said; 150 base speed is [i][b]far[/b][/i] from slow. That's... 399 if the nature doesn't boost it, and 438 if it does; combine with 504 max in either attack stat, and 459 with a neutral nature... no.

So you're not off to the best start; Still hoping you have a good day at least! [s]My present was the news that Bullet isn't first in the hall of fame[/s] Live it up, don't let the grunts have better birthday parties than you! =P

It's okay Will, at least you tried xD (Yay 10,000th post on the forums~)

tl;dr: We don't like Smogon, they're acting hastily and molding everything the way they want it to be instead of letting things work out. A swift ban is the quickest solution to anything. See: Extreme League. The ideal metagame you speak of is not unlike the Laissez-faire idea in economics, nor the social darwinism theory; Leave it alone and let things handle themselves, and stuff that works will rise up, stuff that doesn't will die out. You want a "survival of the fittest" metagame, yes? In this case, we speak of weather, namely Rain. Obviously enough, it's already taken over. Limitations are fine, but banning ANYTHING entirely solves nothing. Counters exist, people are just too lazy to find and use them. Shadow Tag Shandera was banned almost immediately, when a simple Shed Shell ruins it. Minus Shadow Tag, nobody knows what they would do with their precious chandelier. And Inconsistent? It's entirely based on luck. If it lowers an important stat (which is more than likely), you wait until it comes back or you die. If Inconsistent didn't raise Evasion -and even then, it's a matter of luck to deal with- nobody would care about it. I've said this earlier. But nobody likes that so, hey, ban it. What else, what else... Eh, I guess that's all that matters. The Swift Swim thing is ridiculous; I think that's been covered already, more than enough. Everything has its counters, and Swift Swim is no exception. They're destroying a combo that was the only thing letting a few Pokemon even be useable (Ex: Armaldo, Tsunbeaa). Now Rain teams will become even more specific and predictable. ... This is what they want, I'm sure. It's not a bad concept but they're going about it the wrong way. But, whatever, I have weird opinions; Erufuun and Doryuuzu are nothing to me and Ditto is my worst nightmare. If what you mean by all this, Ame, is that we're doing our own thing regardless of what the leading authority (read: overcentralized little- ... you get it) says... well, I've always done that. All for it. In fact, I made it a point NOT to play OU 99% of the time in 4th gen for that very reason. I was sick of seeing Heatran, Azelf, Zapdos, Scizor and Blissey on every team. And yet I dealt with it and won quite a few times to boot. It exists, use it. That's what I think. People will always have something to complain about.

I'll do the updates I guess?

Bookmarks for the forums? I have no such thing. (No, seriously, I'm surprised too; I have zero parts of this site bookmarked...) sigh... when do I start...

[s]I'd do it to see Titania again[/s] What, I'm not crazy!

Nateh v Cain might be the single weirdest battle I've ever read. What. The. Hell. [quote]5/14 people won last night, coincidentally the number of people that like Titania. (Ikaru voted five times~)[/quote] ... I only voted four times... *draws sword ready to kill someone* Anyway, isadnao; Titania won't be back for quite a while QQ [quote]The race for who will be the first in the hall of fame is on! A four-way tie between Ice, Bullet, Ikaru and Saya has emerged for the first claim on Reborn's hall of fame.[/quote] This should be good, I think~ Now if only we knew anything about her...
