Y'all are so damn greedy. C'mon, she was nice enough to give us Conkeldurr AND Metagross. Besides, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball, and Facade aren't bad. We just gotta wait.

I can edit the poll I think. I think an option we haven't discussed is banning BP with Magic Bounce and Speed Boost. From seeing some things on the reborn ladder, quickpass is deadly as hell. You would get the benefit of nerfing BP and potentially fix the issues between Blaziken and Scolipede.

I think after reading everyone's decisions and votes I think I have a generally summary. I think it's pretty huge that Baton Pass needs to be nerfed. Though it can be stopped, the ways you can stop it are extremely niche and have little to no use outside Reborn's meta. It's not impossible to beat and there can be a few holes that some pokemon can punch through, but more often to not, it's a giant win button. Swagger has a lot of arguments. I'll be honest, this was surprisingly a lot more civil than I thought and almost all of you had very good points. I think the decision to ban Swagger entirely now seems like an unpopular decision. Perhaps we can discuss ways to nerf it instead. I am fully prepared to admit that swagger isn't always broken. There are actually a lot more ways to stop it than I thought there was. But I am sticking to my own viewpoint as well, Swagger is annoying.. There are a lot more ways to stop a SwagPlay user than there is for BP, but there is still so much going for SwagPlay that it's a little too overpowered. If everyone is comfortable, I think it's high tide we discuss ways we can nerf SwagPlay and BP to a meta we can be proud of. Unless there is any more to discuss that hasn't already been mentioned, I would like for this to be handled quickly so everyone can be happy.

The guide should be updated with events. Unfortunately we don't know what events will change and we search nearly everywhere until our brains explode to figure out the locations of the new mons. Luckily things have calmed down on that front and a lot of the changed events for the location guide are up to date. If there is something that is wrong on the guide post somethin'.

Queen is good for the soul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fIrajum1DA Incubus is also good too.

No WoW talk unless it's about WoW. Personally a lot of the Megas now are fairly balanced. After the stages of the leaving of Mega Khan, Gengar, and Lucario, a few Megas took their place. Mega Charizard-Y, Mega Pinsir, and Mega Venusaur were very popular but eventually fell in usage due to the Meagan's adapting. Popular threats such as Tyranitar, Landorus-I, Latias/Latios, have risen around the Meta Game and has formed a natural push pull kinda thing. The only really pokemon I feel should be tested is Mega-Mawile. Despite it being a slower Mega-Medicham, 105 Attack with pure power hits HARD. It even does over 50% to defensive Landorus-T with Play Rough.

You should probably join us over at Pokemon Online. We have a server there that almost all of us use to interact and shtuff. o-o

You'll be glad to know that we don't judge so harshly. In fact most people will respond back with equal enthusiasm and sometimes hug you back in response. Welcome to Reborn. Don't drink the chocolate lake.

***DISCLAIMER RIGHT OUT DA GATE I'm gonna go all preachy and be incredible decisive with my reaction. This is in no offense to try and harm people for their own opinions because I may or may not have missed something, but this is entirely based off of data that I personally got. Your experience is different from mine and I fully respect that. Onto the verdict. Oh boy. Y'all put some pretty clean arguments up i'll admit. Thing is though with as much talk about team building and making a team to counter a play style, the same could be said towards any prankster really. Even I, speaking as someone who remark'd on how powerful a full SwagPlay team is. No real sane person would dare ladder with a SwagPlay team. The tactic is highly averaged on a coin flip of 50%/50%. This doesn't mean it gets a free-pass. When you usually see Klefki and Sableye or even other popular prankster users such as Liepard and Whimsicott in a line up either by themselves or together, they usually have someone covering their weakness. There is also some issues with some of the things that Kyra said were Checks or Counters towards SwagPlay. I'll list of some reasons why based on research from playing matches on Showdown, Reborn, and PO Main. As you can see, not a lot of options really stick out except Mandibuzz. Even if Mandibuzz does get a lot more usage people will gradually shift over to things like Landorus-T, Kyurem-B, or Excadrill to counter Mandibuzz. You gotta understand that if something becomes popular, people will try to find ways to remove it. At the same time when a removal effect proves effective, resistance will grow back.

Crustle. Only because it can hit the hell out of anything after a Shell Smash.

Let's get this back on track folks. Stop cursing at Tempest, it's not nice. >:c Also to fully answer quesiton Tynamo. Tynamo is in the Agate Circus where somebody asks for a Shrubbery. Naturally all of you should have said Ni! to your local wench.

Ame so slo. Go faster. >:I But really, if you feel pressured by the guide or anything else feel free to take a break. Or ask for help. A lot of us here like that sorta thing where we find everything about Pokemon Reborn so I know members will be able to help you on your guide. Cheers and I hope everything goes well for you Dashie. c:

I want to cry. I really want to cry.

Another thing I would like for you guys to keep in mind. This is kinda one I wanted to figure out but haven't had time to. Seeing as Ducklett is replacing the Magikarp event, the original Ducklett event which hatched from an Egg maybe altered. What happened to this event? Also, i'm not gonna get all the credit for asking this, DobbyTheElf asked this as well so credit goes to her....him....it. :I

I'll shed some light on this situation. *ahem* The site of Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir/Gallade has been moved to an entirely different event and in it's place Gothita pretty much took over. This however raises a few questions that you guys can figure out. What happened to Gothita's original event and where is the new Ralt's event? Rest is up to y'all.

Did anybody not get surprised by pokemon moved? You might be surprised what got moved~ Huehuehue.

Moved this thread to a better place. That or the Tyrogue made me move it. Choose your pick. :3

Y'know, everyone of us has had our pokemon in the game. I have my Miltank, Renzo has his Dratini somewhere in a weird block that nobody can seem to find, everyone has there Beldum. And no Weavile. Pour Vous, Vinny. Pour Vous.
