  1. Battle Mechanics Research

    Would the following scenario allow for two Megamon in a party? I activate M-Lucario. Opponent activates M-Charizard. I switch in a Ditto with Imposter. Do I now have a M-Lucario, with a M-Charizard on the field?

  3. The Monsters We Crave: Pokemon and Monster Theory

    Great news! I've applied. I look forward to the process!
  4. The Monsters We Crave: Pokemon and Monster Theory

    Thanks for the support. The draft as written is eleven double-spaced pages. I imagine I could trim that down quite a bit, revised by the end of the weekend unless we've got an impending deadline. The piece can certainly be reproduced.
  5. The Monsters We Crave: Pokemon and Monster Theory

    Abstract: In the monster-filled world of Pokemon, there was an absence. Players considered the characters childish, and sought to live out a more sinister fantasy. The game's designers paid attention to these cues, and introduced the Dark/Ghost-type hybrid in the game's second generation. There...

    I managed to place at #103, a ranking with which I'm very pleased. A lot of study went into the Ubers and Rotation metagames, as I was 100% unfamiliar but in the end - a satisfactory outcome. I do hope that we get a resolution to this DCing problem. I would have been heartbroken had I not...

    Had a great time in this one. Ended at 1706 with 32 battles. I really wish that I had taken more time to raise the score, but maybe next time. I used a team of ExtremeKiller Arceus, Ho-oh, Giratina, Heracross, Zekrom, and Rayquaza. Would definitely replace Heracross in the future - he was...

    As a 28yo guy, it's pretty hard without being seen as a huge creeper. Even the local comic shops that host weekly TCG tournaments treat me like a weirdo when I e-mail them about it.. Little do they know I'm a totally normal dude working in financial services who just happens to love Pokemon haha...

    Anyone else think it is close to pointless running a choice item? I don't anticipate much if any switching to reset the item, and being locked into a disadvantageous move could spell disaster for your team. Thoughts on this? Regarding Substitute. I love being able to set up a Sub and...

    I want to use an Abomasnow that knows Giga Drain in the Fall Regionals. This is a TM in Gen IV, and a Move Tutor move in BW2. Will my Abomasnow be found ineligible if I: RNG in BW > Transfer to BW2 > Move Tutor > Transfer to BW > Compete in Tournament Will I instead need to RNG in Gen IV...

    Deck Knight Deciding Factor: Gravity.
  13. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 12 - Movepool Submissions

    I took this into consideration, changing this and a few other things. Added Seed Bomb as an egg move, replaces Dream Eater with Moonlight, changed Level 1 Move: Absorb to Ingrain. Made a couple other small changes.
  14. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 12 - Movepool Submissions

    I have updated my movepool submission. Nothing has really changed, just where I listed the move, since that did violate your terms. In my defense, I was thinking of it as similar to the Pichu you mentioned - fully aware of the level-up stipulation - just listed it in the wrong place. Sorry about...
  15. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 12 - Movepool Submissions

    Amateur Movepool Submission, made largely to convey my idea for learning Sketch. VGM: * Necturna is born with Sketch if hatched at night in the Celestial Tower. Sketch cannot be obtained via any other method, barring an Event. If hatched with Sketch, starting set will always consist of Sketch...
  16. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Part 11 - Movepool Limits

    55 Total Moves, 25 VGMs is 100% perfect. Spiritomb has 55 Total Moves, and is a decent comparison in my eyes since both fill a similar support niche. Were Spiritomb to be given the flexibility of Sketch, it would be a very different Pokemon. I approve of 55 Total Moves, 25 VGMs
  17. Suicune

    Before this is posted, the following should be fixed: It should be noted that Sheer Cold Suicune is an event from fourth generation games, and is therefore hard to obtain one with flawless IVs. For this reason, Icy Wind or Ice Beam are is a decent alternatives, as it retains coverage against...
  18. Suicune

    Add Remove Comment [Overview] <p>With all of the Water-type Pokemon in VGC 2012, Suicune fills the role of a bulky Pokemon that can easily bulky support a team role well. Sporting great defenses bulk with decent Speed and Special Attack, Suicune has only two weaknesses, a result of its...

    Delete Add Comments [Overview] <p>Gengar is a fast, frail, hard hitting attacker, boaster boasting an outstanding base 130 Special Attack and a great base 110 Speed. While often overshadowed by Chandelure, Gengar has a few things Chandelure doesn't, - namely a higher Speed stat and no...
