After almost an entire generation of hiatus - I never really enjoyed 5th gen competitive battling at all - I'm currently getting back in the game and trying out a modification of a pretty succesful team I used in the 4th generation. It's based around spreading paralysis and sweeping after the...

I've been wondering, if Snorlax was really so overcentralizing in GSC, why was it never deemed Uber? I mean, back then, there weren't any standard procedures on Smogon like there are nowadays, but I can't help but imagine some people may have noticed..

My worst Pokemon-related moment ever is a no-brainer. I encountered a shiny Venomoth in the Safari Zone in LG. It fled. The only other wild shinies I've ever seen were Zigzagoon in Ruby and Linoone in Emerald. Or maybe the other way around, I can't really remember. Edit: Wow, it's been almost...

Thank you! =D

Heatran may not be a counter to Latios, but if you say it's unviable, you've never used it. I use Fire Blast Specs Heatran, which (with status support) utterly rapes and destroys almost any Sun team. Ninetales, Charizard and most other resistant Pokemon are easily 2HKO'd bij Fire Blast, so they...

Also, people are already using fewer Drizzle-based teams because they know/think it's going to be banned soon anyway, or because they think it's lame/broken. Edit: Don't underestimate Togekiss this gen, it's the star of my team, really. o.o

Yeah, a lot of people are WAY too ban-happy. I have seen no evidence that Reuniclus, Wobbuffet or even Latios are overpowered and/or overcentralizing, so let's just focus on the obviously broken shit first - Drizzle, and either Sand Stream or Excadrill/Landorus. After that, we can take a closer...

Wobbuffet isn't that great vs Politoed. It can't Encore a Hypnosis - because it falls asleep - and if you try to Encore anything else, its STAB water move in the rain is a 2HKO. Just using Mirror Coat right away will also put you to sleep most of the times... I didn't get to try it vs Ninetales...

I love unorthodox movesets. It's like my Ice Fang/Fire Fang Gliscor and my Thunder Wave Gyarados - nobody expects it, and a lot of people get fucked over. Not a very special warstory, but not a really bad one either - I'll say 6,5/10.

This is probably the best warstory I ever read. Seriously. Everybody else pretty much explained why - I'm impressed someone can write such huge stories about a Pokemon battle without it getting boring. And it wasn't just long and interesting, it shows in-depth thought behind every single move...

On another forum, I have a lot of friends I also see a lot IRL, and some of them know my family as well... so if I were to drop dead for some reason, they would know. But I guess that's easier when living in a small country like the Netherlands - a three-hour train ride and you've gone from one...

After the harsh battle against Wattson, I didn't have too much trouble up until Flannery. Caught a Marill (named Sufralle) on route 117 and decided to train it, so Flannery would be a lot easier. After that, I caught a Koffing (Pollux) and a Skarmory (Evanis), killed a second Marill, failed to...

Currently trying a Nuzlocke on Emerald. Team is: Incendix (Combusken) lv 25 Calamity (Linoone) lv 23 Marimegana (Gloom) lv 22 Exile (Dustox) lv 17 Spiritanon (Aron) lv 10 Noizea (Whismur) and Aldaron (Poochyena) are boxed. No Pokemon have died yet (except for wild Pokemon I decided not to...

I can't believe you guys are actually talking about Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I just had a class about this subject past morning. XD It's kinda creepy.

This, definitely. This goes for all forms of sex, including all those weird fetishes you read about on the Internet. If it makes them happy, why not?

Oh, but I'm not saying it's completely impossible to control those feelings, or to have a mature conversation about it. But why should one even go through all this trouble when it's a lot easier to just have a completely nonsexual friendship with another guy?

In my experience, having a girl for a best friend (or even a good friend) is not a very good idea. There will probably always be a certain sexual tension, and as much as you tell yourself "she's attractive but I won't do anything with it because she's like a sister", when it comes right down to...

A fast Reflect/Light Screen might still be an option...

I agree this is not exactly a list of Pokemon you would call NU. It might be more sensible to call the current UU MU instead or something like that (Moderately Used), and then change this tier's name to UU.. That said, it's still a great initiative and I really like to see this progression. ^^...
