Guys, if I could be serious for a minute... Assuming that the Shane-Taker match does happen (instead of, you know, a bait and switch with Shane getting someone else to fight for him), I can see the match having multiple issues: 1) It's an extreme (meaning, more chair shots than wrestling moves) match between a former wrestler and a non wrestler. Meaning, we are not actually guaranteed to see a headlock, let alone an actual move. 2) The roles are confused. In theory, since Shane is the good authority figure trying to take away control from the evil authority figures, we are supposed to cheer for him... But are you seriously going to boo Undertaker at Wrestlemania? In Texas? 3) UNDERTAKER'S WRESTLEMANIA OPPONENT IS GOING TO BE A GUY WHOSE PUNCHES LOOK LIKE THIS And keep in mind that, as mentioned in point 1, punches are the most we can expect from this match as far as technical prowess goes. So yeah, I will agree that the shocking moment that lead to this match's announcement was so great, it filled us all with hype. But now that we have calmed down, can you honestly state, with a straight face, that this match is a good idea? I, for one, hope they will pull some sort of bait and switch.

I am almost sure that OHKO moves are specifically coded to be unaffected by any accuracy modification of any sort. I dunno if that includes No Guard but...

Usually this is a dead giveaway that a list of "leaked" Pokemon is indeed fake. New game with no new starters? Preposterous and unheard of.

WHAT WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IGNORING MY BIG, IMPORTANT, HEARTFELT POST. If you guys start asking for new features once Sun and Moon are out I swear

Well guys, we WERE told that the whole Kalos backstory was not done, and that it would be expanded on in a neighboring region, right? Now Kalos is inspired to France, so it stands to reason that the next region will be inspired to a country that shares a border with France, like Spain or Italy. Although, I know Florence better than my pocket and with God as my witness I tell you, that pic has NOTHING to do with Florence. Like, not even close. Rome is the city famous for the fountains, so if anything my guess would be that... But even that is a stretch. Truth is, it's too soon for this kind of speculation.

With the new Pokemon games being announced, there is something very important I have to say. It is still not known if these new games are the new generation (AKA Generation Seven, way to ruin the uniqueness of our name <.< ) but if they are, then this message which I just posted in the private conversation with the other staffers becomes INCREDIBLY important. So much so in fact, that I think all of you, our loyal followers, should see it: We are struggling, God knows if we are struggling, to make a unique, entertaining product for all of you to enjoy. It is the dream we share, the guiding light we pursue through and in spite of the difficulties, the personal problem, the technical issues, the differences of opinions, the quarrels, the setbacks. To achieve this goal of ours, to make this dream of ours come true, we require support and cooperation from each and every one of you. Therefore, while a wave of enthusiasm for the new canon games is to be expected (we are but mere wannabes when compared to the real Game Freak, after all), I am here to ask, no, to beg each and every one of you to do your best, to prevent such enthusiasm from interfering with our already complicated work. Thank you for ursaringing with me, and as always in these cases, #PleaseUnderstand

Welp, I was wrong. Looks like they are real.

Who ever said anything about any dragon? The possibility of a Poison Eevee is something you people deduced from a post of mine in another topic, and the Eeveelution we did announce is of the Ghost type <.<

Cepheus Logic to the rescue!

While I can (kinda) see the reasoning behind the first one, I totally cannot get the second o.O

Are you sure? I don't remember Pidgeotite altering the typing, Mega Pidgeot is still Normal/Flying like its base form IIRC. Regardless, my only perplexity is that a brutal wallbreaker like that needs to be speedy, in order to force opponents out. And well, base 100 is kinda meh for Spe in this tier.

Uh... To my knowledge, Aggronite gives you a Steel typing. Meaning that, if you are dual type Steel/something it makes you pure Steel, but if you are of some other type it adds Steel to your typing. So an Aggronite Lapras would become Water/Steel (or, God forbid, Ice/Steel, depending on which between Ice and Water is Lapras' primary type)... EDIT: well what do you know, apparently I was wrong. So nevermind, Lapras can stay. But I stand by my point on the other two changes.

My main issue with this team is that Lopunnite Lando-T (or Lopunnite anything, really) utterly destroys it. To my count, you have 4 Fighting weaknesses and two resistances which, however, are weak to EQ and Stone Edge, moves that Lando-T (and most other Lopunnite users) carry as coverage. Altarianite Entei is also very problematic, as you have no Fire resistances and the burn chance of Sacred Fire can prove lethal. Finally, status spread from stallbreakers like Mew can be very problematic. My suggestions to solve these issues: 1) Use Blissey as a cleric with Sablenite 2) Use Ferrothorn as a physical wall with Blue Orb (thus removing the Fire weakness, and turning it into a decent check for Entei) 3) Replace Lapras with... Anything else, really. Anything non-Steel.

Let's play pretend. Let's pretend you are an employee of a major company. Let's pretend you have an idea for a new product. It is a wonderful idea, your boss is proud of you, he talks to the higher-ups and they are fully willing to invest in it, and turn your idea into the company's next big thing. However, the company is currently in the middle of an important effort concerning a different product, and they are afraid that having BOTH products on the market at the same time might be detrimental for business. They therefore decide to postpone your idea and to focus on the product that is already out for the time being. Now let's pretend that one year or two have passed since you first came up with the idea. The company decides that now is the time to invest in it and launch it on the market but, when you begin working on it, you find out that the name you had planned for it, and/or some core elements that are invaluable for it, have already been trademarked by someone else. That would be a major issue, wouldn't it? And mind, you, this is not as preposterous an idea as it might seem: all it takes is an unfaithful employee, who sells info concerning the company's ideas to an external party. The external party thanks the employee, goes to trademark the ideas he leaked to them, and just like that you are screwed. To avoid such scenarios, it is a common practice, among companies worldwide, to always trademark any new idea they come up with, just to be safe: maybe they will eventually turn those ideas into actual products, maybe they won't, but either way, they want to be sure that nobody can steal them while they are busy with something else. For example, after Pokemon Black and White were launched, Nintendo immediately trademarked a name and a logo for "Pokemon Gray"... And we all know how that turned out. With this, I am not saying that we are not going to get Gen 7. I am not saying that tomorrow's Nintendo Direct will not be about new Pokemon games (2016 marks 20 years of Pokemon after all, it would be foolish for the company NOT to release a new game for such an important milestone). I am simply saying that this "trademark leak" proves nothing, so you people shouldn't make such a fuss about it. There is only one truth in this situation, and it is this: you will not know what Nintendo wants you to know until they decide that it is time for you to know. In other words, you will know about Gen 7 when a Nintendo Direct is made about it. Until then, all you read around the internet is nothing but rumors, blatant lies, or big uproars built on something as commonplace as a precaution trademark. I, for one, refuse to believe any non-Nintendo Direct source. The internet is the promised land of scams, after all.

Thanks

By the way, where do you get those icons for your mons?

I'm out of likes for the day ;-;
