I got a PM from "eric the espeon" regarding Little Cup analyses, shown here:
So, discuss what you think of this idea.
Of the little bit of opinion I have on this, I tend to lean towards not allowing it, because it would eventually result in "hey, why not do intermediate Pokemon like Ivysaur => hey, why not do Little Cup Pokemon at level 100 => hey, wait, what level should intermediates be at => etc.". It's not a really strong opinion though.eric the espeon said:I am sending this to you two on Maniaclyracist's recommendation, if you are the wrong people to send this to please tell me who would be the best person to send it to.
As you may or may not have seen in this and more recently this thread the number of people who play the Little Cup metagame is growing fast, on the CaP server it is more popular than UU and Ubers combined and its following is growing by the day. We are improving the rule set and banned list, we have also written analysis for some the Pokemon that can be used there, as well as a guide about how EVs affect stats at Lv. 5.
However we are running into problems as it is near impossible to comment on and improve 10+ unfinished analysis in the same thread, they are getting buried under an avalanche of posts.
To solve this problem I would like to ask permission for everyone to be able to post Little Cup analysis in the Analysis Workshop subforum, if this is not possible (maybe you don't want peer edits for the more standard metagames pushed off the first page) an even better solution would be a separate subforum within Contributions & Corrections for us to develop analysis for the Little Cup Pokemon.
My second proposal is to put the finished analysis on the site, almost all of the Pokemon allowed in Little Cup do not have their own analysis as they are first stage NFE's so do not have there own analysis right now, the only exceptions I can think of are Scyther who is banned, Clamperl and Trapinch (Phione is banned under currant rules) who could have a separate tab, next to "Strategy" and "Moves", named "Little Cup Strategy", or if thats too much complication we could just have a single set for Little Cup in the normal analysis for those Pokemon.
Both of these proposals would also help us to promote and publicize what I believe is a fun and interesting emerging metagame.
