  8. Here's the issue, which I don't think you know coming a leader of Volcanic. I'm aware of my situation and the pot of controversy our team has started. I am a good example of a leader who subs in good players. Here's the catch. I try not to abuse the obviously good players but I want to win. That's what every leader wants. But also I am aware that I must have everybody have a fair shot. Here's the big issue. There is only but 7-9 people really to choose from. Hell, it's worse in other nations. Despite the massive roster of people that you see, the actual group of people participating is so few that we have no choice but to make repetitive teams. Now, i'm a very different type of leader. My mission isn't to find out who is high-ladder or high-ranked or any of that. I need to see your skill personally before I make a decision and obviously with the people that keep coming back to the roster has proven their immense strength in pokemon. Not to say others aren't. I try to bring in as many new people as I can because at the same time, I want people to prove their own form of skill as well. I know a few people who have lost their first matchup like Kinglay7, but I'm still giving him an opportunity this week to fight. It's not that I want to be very bland with my selection. I just don't have that many choices given to me. It's how the chips fall down to each nation. If we can get a better idea of who we really have working with us then I can get a better idea of who to add. That really is the only problem to me imo.
  9. Please, listen to this mixtape. You can download for free on Wax's site. Please. He needs A LOT more attention.
  10. I have too many to count. Some of my amazing ones consisted of me being a helicopter pilot and me being a co-pilot in Bf3/Bad Company 2. A really good one was that I blind fire shot a helicopter with an RPG-7 in the bad company 2 beta. We won that game shortly after that as the Heli was killing us.

  15. We need to get the idea of what is balanced and what isn't in in-game tier listings. Obviously, there is no standard as everything popular seems to be avoided. Here's the issue at hand. We need to figure out what is going to be considered powerful and what isn't going to be considered powerful out the gate. Let's use episodes as examples. Prior to episode 10, Starly was made available. This was changed later on as Starly is no longer available. Now, if we want to introduce Starly again, it would be too late. No band or life orb means Staraptor's power is mitigated by a lot, and Starly's raw power is actually fairly average out the gate compared to other arguably more useful choices such as Conkeldurr, Magnezone, Scrafty, Amoonguss, Arcanine, and Excadrill. Even if we wanted to train Starly at a low level, it would introcude back grinding which arguably kills gameplay quality. Popularity doesn't always mean amazing. Talonflame, Ferrothorn, Slowbro, and even Scizor has been pushed back way to long despite all of them being sub-par options, at least now in episode 12. Despite what you see in Competitive battles, all of these pokemon in-game aren't godly. Scizor and Talonflame lack items and their damage output combined with their paper-thin defenses are severely lacking even after a Swords Dance. Slowbro and Ferrothorn lack some of their favorite moves due to breeding and TM purposes, and worse, both of their initial movepools are bordering niche. There are many more examples I can think of but the point is this. Without a pokemon's favorite item, they become borderline stale compared to what exists already. I respect how balanced you want to keep Reborn Ame, but if you goal is to give a riveting and challenging league, popularity cannot obscure balance. Even if a popular pokemon does get released in later episodes, you now have people grinding to better their team; and that is never fun.
  16. [Placeholder] I'll post this once I get on laptop so remind me. I have gud picture with me next to diabetus.
  17. It depends on how good the shiny is. If it's something like Bird Jesus, it doesn't matter what spread you give it. He is still fantastic. This is an Eevee. Pink is generally left to real pinkmons like Clefable, Mega-Amphy. Modest might be nice if you are going for Sylveon, Jolteon, Espeon, or Vaporeon, but you might want to try again for another spread.
  18. Renzo took the exact words from my mouth. I am slowly unscrewing my sleeping schedule for you guys. I plan on having a team session down this Friday. Since we have done all the official tiers, let's inspire ourselves with tactics and things that you need to know when you teambuild / battle. Every good player has tricks or strategies that make up who they are and I plan on passing on this sage knowledge to people who need it. I'm using this time to allow players who aren't as good to learn and to gain tools that can help any player become better. Let's turn ourselves into competitive badasses. Session, this Friday. Time is 7:30 PM EST.
  19. ...You evil bastards. >:I Rosesong. I'm coming to eat you.
  20. Squirrel Jesus don't care about no meta Silver. Also seeing as Gen 4 sprites haven't been edited into Pokemon Reborn yet, perhaps we can use this as an idea? What do you think Ame?
  21. So I have quickly learned this about Showdown. OU Ladder is different from OU Tour. In which case Tour is much better. >:I

      What's the difference, if I may ask?

      Ladder generally involves every gimmick in the book and the TILT is high with it. You will either get very very lucky with it or very unlucky.

      Tour is the real deal with real tactics and reliable gimmicks that work favorably for real competitive play.

  22. Out of any pokemon competitive that they could have used in Pokemon. Any skill base of any kind they could muster. A fucking Pachirisu won VGC. Whoever was facing him should be thankful he was graced by the power of Squirrel Jesus.
