Ok, @Marcello, how much of a pain (both hard and time-consuming) are all these unique snowflakes of new moves, mechanics and abilities be to implement?

Two thingies: Is hardly miscellaneous. Could that button get literally any better name? "Online Servers" or something? Also, can we get a "Followings" list in our profiles? Edit: ding dong @Arkhi dong, look at this too

How to RMT v2 An RMT (Rate-my-Team) is a thread for you to display, analyze and share a quality team of your making with the community while opening it for critisicm, suggestions and improvements. Here are some rules and guidelines for this section of the forums, to define how to create a thread and comment in this particular section. Shoutouts to the previous thread of Neo's RMT Guidelines that has served as the community's manual for years, here is an updated version to help the community as the Pokemon metagame enters the seventh generation with Sun & Moon. General rules Post completely built, tested and proven teams. Take time building them, testing them in and getting a bearing that the team works well in decent competition. RMT is not about looking at untested teams, or salvaging lost causes. Asking for help is desired, but make sure that there is something good brewing in the first place. Be very descriptive, detailed and encompassing in your analysis. Make sure you format it well for the readers. Understand that if you post an RMT the team is availiable for everyone to use as they would like. Accept constructive criticism and feedback from the community members and look for ways to improve the team. You can ignore non-constructive criticism or disagree with suggestions, but come into it with an open mindset. Post RMTs for teams of playable or recently relevant metagames: Parts of an RMT At a Glance: a section visually depicting all team members, much like the team preview, helping the readers have an immediate mental image of the team. Preferably coupled with an initial description of the team, regarding its playstyle and basic functionality, before the main analysis part. Example from Tomas Elliot's "A return to Ubers, with a rant [ORAS Ubers]": Teambuilding Process: an optional section describing your throught process of building the team from start to finish: Example from Sheep's "A long awaited RMT" [ORAS PU]: In-depth Analysis: the bulk of an RMT, where each member is presented in full detail (item, nature, EV spread, moveset). Describe what each team member does: why was this Pokemon selected, what is its role on the team, how is it to be played, how does it work together with its teammates, what Pokemon does it check and what Pokemon check it, why is it having this spread and set? Example from Kamina's "--First-- (ft Jirachi)" [SM PokeBank OU]: Threat list: an optional section listing threats to the team, be it single Pokemon, certain cores or team archetypes. Example from Reignited'Light's Drag Me Down [ORAS OU]: Team Importable. The text to import the team into the Showdown teambuilder and use the team. A must-have of every RMT, for reasons stated above. Rating a team a. General improvements Have a certain degree of knowledge of the metagame to which the team belongs to adequately aid to it. A team is, in part, defined by its surrounding opposition. Understand the team's playstyle and purpose to have a bearing of improving it without compromising its identity and goals. Think of ways and changes to help the team execute its strategies and game plans even better, if possible. Stay faithful to the team's strategy and make all changes follow this spirit. Suggest strategy changes only if the team is severely flawed. If you make major changes, take a look to the new version as a whole to spot if they inadvertedly created other problems. Propose small adjustments to the team as is to polish it, like EV spread changes or minor moveset or item changes. Explain how the changes work to deal with threats and aid the team's strategy. b. Solving threats Concede that in the vast metagames of the 6th and 7th gen, it is impossible to perfectly address all threats. Teams are gonna be weak to certain Pokemon no matter what. First and foremost, focus on the team's matchup against the various playstyles of the metagame, making sure that it can face them adequately and doesn't have a horrible matchup with a certain style as a whole. Analyze the team's matchup against common strategies and combos, both offensive and defensive. Find any single Pokemon that threaten the team greatly. Explain how the threats work well against the team. Show ways to counterplay these threats, be it certain plays to make in that situation, changes on the team's sets or even members. If you make major changes, take a look to the new version as a whole to spot if they inadvertedly created other problems. Stay faithful to the team's strategy and make all changes follow this spirit. Suggest strategy changes only if the team is severely flawed. Explain how the changes work to deal with threats and aid the team's strategy.
