There's just a little issue I have with the end time. You say the people who don't go due to cutoff will have priority, but what if the person is trapped into a leader that only challenges Mon Wed Fri and the person can't battle the next day? Also, have fun being trapped after Amaria because Geo, Mash, and I have to make our way back up to the top~ ;3 Oh, and it's funny how the people who have to battle Amaria can't the first day she's available due to Ame's [s]trolling[/s] other plans. And of course...[b]the streak cannot be broken.[/b]

Here's hoping you all have a fantastic New Years celebration, whether it be by yourself, with some friends, or family, and also that your 2011 is full of joy, peace, and...hell...maybe even some romance!

Completely awesome. I love it. <3 all of you, especially Assos and a certain other. ;3 I feel like I did my Secret Santa wrong because I gave Mashew something non-holiday related. :/

I feel like Ame stole the look I use every night ('cept I kind of tie my robe around my underwear because no one wants to see that and if you do...you're kinda perverted) and used it on his gym leader... ... ...I am genuinely horrified at how he figured this out. fapfapfapfapfapfapfap

Merry Christmas, Reborn. Fun and unnecessary fact: The tin poster you can see (mirrored as it is) reads Monty Python and the Holy Grail (you probably could make that out though)...need I explain why I have this?

I'm putting my gift here because I don't know when I'll catch up to Mashew and I know he's active on the forums. So Mash, I didn't really have any idea what to make you, but I came up with this idea because you seem to have lots of PokeMansion Pokemon... You can just use your modpowers to copy/paste that into your sig and there you go; a shiny button to link to your PokeMansion. ----- And with that said, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF REBORN! Hope it's full of cheer, gifts, and lots and lots of food. :3

I tend to run outside; treadmills are made of evil. My favorite Pokemon is Lucario, second favorite is Lugia. "Thinking" basically means sometimes I just like to reflect on topics like life and such, and my favorite bands are The Rolling Stones, U2, and The Police. My favorite song is "I St

The poor thing...an 8 year old orphan. 8 years old, and she's living by herself with no one by her...she said she wanted to be free, but no one wanted this... I'll stand by her. And all of you. We all have to stay strong, or else Heather's gonna break.

Before my seriousstuff...oh look, Cain with a candy cane. I laughed a bit there. And now... Amen. Reborn is the place I call home. I haven't ever really been able to be myself in any other place; it's always my favorite place. And I'm pleased to say that Reborn's been looking better now than it has in a long, long time...it's just so great. And what with the holidays, why shouldn't we (avoiding wynaut) be in such a good mood? Really, this place is the community that can be open to each other, whether it be through laughs or seriousness, and I admire that. And I thank you all for it. ともに、

400 pixels...about how large is mine right now?

Newer and more badass N8 card is newer and more badass. Because Black + Red > All

*looks back, scared* *takes the cookie happily* *eats the cookie, with a scared look* *drinks some milk along with it* That was fantastic.

I see what you did there. Oh, and Bullet, the staff is all the mods/admins + Doc and AZKnight...and I think that's it.

Awww...stop making me blush. :3 And yay for being on more staff lists than anyone else **EDIT INCOMING** except Mashew **/edit**! That is an accomplishment in my book. :3 ...That's what working all day on 5 hours of sleep does to ya. Oh well.

...Wha...?

After Bullet and I made a few calcs, both formes of Deoxys that were previously Uber are now OU. Deoxys-A looks like a huge threat at first, but literally any neutral priority fucks it over. Also, it doesn't have a way to boost beyond Calm Mind, and that's a turn it can't get hit at all, otherwise it's dead. Even at +1 SpDef, lots and lots of Special Attackers 1HKO Deoxys-A. And because Deoxys-A can't boost effectively (which honestly, +1 Salamence is more frightening than Deoxys-A), lots of things can come in and take Deoxys-A's attacks. Nattorei gets a special mention

Deoxys Normal and Mew are now both OU. Deoxys is incredibly frail and is completely fucked by anything faster than it and priority. Base 50 HP and Defenses means even neutral hits are able to 1HKO. Mew is stopped by Taunt, and by just killing it. It's bulkier and faster than Smeargle, but it doesn't have access to Spore. Plus, with Mischievious Heart Taunters, Mew shouldn't be too much of a problem. Plus, Mew is [i]UU[/i] by usage right now. So, that just leaves Shadow Tag Shandera as suspect. Go to the Suspect thread so we can further discuss; if no one posts anything in

Deoxys-S is OU, due to Geo, Bullet, and myself all agreeing that he is easily stopped by priority, and more so, Mischievous Heart.

I'm opening a Suspect Discussion for Shadow Tag Shandera, because he's the most suspect of our suspects as of now.

You can't say the battles here are even close to what the metagame actually is. Will uses a Rayquaza, for God's sake.

Ame, he was talking about Beta and /tr/, not here. Here Shandy isn't a problem, but on other servers I see a Choice Scarf Shadow Tag Shandera [i]every other battle[/i].

They're discussing not banning Shandera; only banning Shadow Tag due to the fact that Shandera's far from broken without Shadow Tag and wouldn't be able to fare well in the Uber metagame. If you looked at the topic; Shandera 1HKOs a whopping 54% of all Pokes after Stealth Rock. Even without Shadow Tag, Shandera would [i]still[/i] be OU. EDIT: Moved Shadow Tag Shandera to Suspect, because, quite frankly, you can't deny how broken it is. There are facts, go to the suspect discussion that Geo linked to and read some things before you start spewing out nonsense. EDIT 2: Bulle

Two edits, both regarding Tail Glow: Volbeat is now UU due to having an epic combo: Tail Glow, Baton Pass, and Mischievous Heart. That alone makes it perfect for any special sweeper. Manaphy is Uber because Rain is too common and Tail Glow makes it even more powerful.

Helping you out, Tail Glow became even more broken and now is a +3 boost.

But the problem is, aren't tiers supposed to be based on usage rather than how good the Pokemon is? Sure, they go hand in hand, but Ditto is one of those weird exceptions. You can't say Ditto is "NEVERUSED" because it's on more teams than like any other Pokemon besides Shandera and maybe a few others.
