Process - RMT is such a weird forum because I can't relate to disconnect between builder and rater. What I mean by this is that I'm accustomed to rating teams on PS one on one with people right on the spot. So we talk about different aspects, get some actual justification for why they chose what, have a more open discussion and as such I feel enhances the learning process of it all both for the team I'm rating, the person on the other side, and myself. Regurgitating dex entries seems awkward as well when it's not always 1. applicable to the team itself 2. the practicality of how the player might play based on their own playing. If the player ends up being more conservative in the way they play you can't just assume that giving them a more aggressive replacement such as Life Orb over Lum Berry on Bisharp is going to fix the problem.Thoughts on rating teams? Just curious why someone such as yourself doesn't show too much interest. Is it the process, quality of teams posted, or some kind of other AM macro-philosophical high point?
What would be your idealistic / optimal VR thread, not in terms of specific rankings but general macro functioning?
Is Shadow Tag something you would look at in the form of a suspect?
Thoughts on user: Trinitrotoluene and his Rosalina, um, I guess attraction is the word?
Do you like my random bold? Does it make my opinion any more valid?
Idk maybe Bluewhat's your favorite color?
do you think wobbuffet is an uncompetitive piece of shit or the true lord and savior of pokemon?
do you have any ideas for smogon/PS! as a whole that you'd like to sometime expand on?
thoughts on user: brokenwings? ;^)
The scene where the guy fell off the balcony, then she drops the knife on him, and after pukes on him by accident was so disgusting but funny. I'll give the movie that much credit. Jason statham sucks at comedy though.Spy was cute :(
I'm doing well trc, thanks for asking.hello am :D how are you today?
Removing Pokemon from the meta should come first before anything. As far as retests not really sure anymore. I was open to the idea of genesect but after using it in Gods Among Us the thing is just so disgusting for the meta I can't really see myself entertaining that idea anymore. Not open for re-tests at the moment until I get a glimpse of how Deoxys Defense fairs.If there was one Uber mon that you'd like to retest, what would it be and why?
What's the dumbest thing you've ever seen used against you in a battle?
Also, nice choices in non-Pokemon video games.
I'm pretty sure I haven't innovated anything but here are some fun sets I like using that are from various teams I have stored.What would you consider the most fun set that you've innovated?
Keldeo has more definitive switch ins unlike Azumarill and Manaphy which puts it a notch below them in my eyes. That's really the long story short granted Keldeo works much better on some teams than others where most offense is packing Weavile and other components that Keldeo checks well. To me personally that's why.i'm not mexican @_@. get your facts checked, nerd.
anyways, what puts keldeo a step below azumarill and manaphy in your ideal viability ranking thread?
what is the source of that incredible luck of yours that nearly always screws me over when i test teams against you?
realistically, are there any mons the ou council is likely to suspect test in the near and / or distant future?
why are so many of your teams sd weavile weak :^)
thoughts on my beautiful hyper offense teams?
- Cakefavorite food?
state?
opinion on my bulky offense lord squads?
most annoying 'mons?
why do you hate sports?
on a scale of 1-10, how dangerous is a well-played mega gyarados? cm iron defense mega slowbro?
- I hate Azumarill because its switch ins are either so specific in Mega Venusaur or just straight garbage. Weavile and Klefki get a nod for being annoying as well.What pokemon do you absolutely hate?
Which status condition is the most crippling?
Am I still a bad user? Or have I redeemed myself?
Will you ever change your Avatar?
Will you save smogon from bandwagon lord AM?
Hippo + Latios, Garchomp + Ferrothorn, and M-Scizor / M-CharX + a water like Manaphy are normally my favorites. Idk this questions kind of vague cause it changes all the time with what I'm going for with the team.Favorite balance cores?
Are you open to using lower tier mons in ou?
How do you feel about shadow tag?
What are your opinions about the gods among us pokemon, which are balanced and which are still stupid to deal with.
Have a nice day :]
mehmeh.
If you had to pick one Pokemon RU or below to get a Mega Evolution that does not already have one, what would it be?
On a scale of 1-10 how good of a user am I?
How in the devil do you find good logs in your signatures?
Opinions on Mega Absol? Good? Bad? Shit? Great?
Do you consider yourself a skrub, and if you do, why?
Kyurem-B. It screws over balance and the archtype that has a supposed edge against it, offense, has no consistent switch ins cause HP fire variants are a perfectly legitimate option and the 4 attacks set has slight variations that change the way an opponent has to deal with it.Thank you for your hard work in the OU tier. I think you have filled the void that alexwolf and Haunter left :D
What pokemon do you think is the most anti-meta?
Most overrated pokemon that is OU by usage?
Most underrated pokemom that is not OU by usage?
What pokemon (D rank or lower) would you consider building a team around (if any)?
Best Mega (in the OU metagame) that is not OU by usage?
How is a fear of fairies Justified :( . There so cute and adorable?It's justified
Not sure and lol do people have niches?
Twave Clefable is good cause it screws over so many of its traditional switch ins. I think gothitelle is a bad pokemon in general. Celebi + M-Diancie has always been a good combo albeit hard to pull off.
Haven't really followed it so if that's going to happen I don't mind what quotes are being used.
I'll put 6 just to be safe.
In terms of.....?What do you think of Mega Heracross?
In all seriousness Fairy is one of the best offensive and defensive types the OU tier and even a lot of tiers in general has to offer. Providing yourself a Dragon immunity along with a Dark and Fighting resist at the same time is fantastic as it slows down Dark spam, able to circumvent fighting types who are normally falling under breaker or sweeper roles, while sporting an immunity to stuff like Latios' Draco Meteor and Garchomps Outrage.How is a fear of fairies Justified :( . There so cute and adorable?
The Niche thing is a joke that started between DarkNostalgia, Docter Ciel and the OU room on showdown before Recreant got wind of it. Kinda grew from there
I have 1 more Question tho. Which of the following cancerous mons would you give a mega to and why would it be beneficial to the game? Gothitelle, Manaphy, Clefable or Blissey.
Thanks for answering my questions so far AM :D
Gallade sports a higher speed tier, access to SD, Shadow Sneak which can screw over stuff like the Latis and Starmie if played well. If those are the traits you need by all means use that but M-Medichams access to Fake Out is a lot more appealing to many players as it gives it an edge in both revenge killing and offensive teams.Do you think there's no reason to use Gallade over Medicham?
Why do you think Manaphy should be tested?
What's your favorite drink?
Thoughts on me in general?
Give me a serious answer, dammit. Also I'll have you know I haven't posted any calcs (bolded or otherwise) recently.Too many calcs x_x
LolI think you're a pretty cool cat and based on personality alone, I would give you a chance of dating me in real life. Anyways, here's the question:
What do you have against Serperior? Why don't you make her A+ rank (or at least A)? She is clearly better than all the Pokemon in the A- list. Do you have something against me or gays in general to punish Serperior in the A- rank?
I think you're slowly improving from the walls of calcs and bolds which is nice, those were pretty obnoxious to read and found yourself a starting point to contribute. Idk what else to say you seemed chill when I saw you on PS and somehow made that shitty volt-turn I made early ORAS work for awhile hahaha.Give me a serious answer, dammit. Also I'll have you know I haven't posted any calcs (bolded or otherwise) recently.
The worst is tough to say and I think most of the stuff not ranked would fall under that criteria.What are the current bottom 5 OU mons in your opinions?
How good do you think pursuit is in the current metagame?
Are there any particular mechanics you would change to make the game more fun?
AaawHi AM, just wanted to say that reading this thread has made me more appreciative of your contributions to the viability thread and OU as a whole, so thanks for giving us all some insight into your thoughts.
As someone whose name is a number, I'm curious as to what did the 145 at the end of AM mean before you unceremoniously dumped it from your name?
Opinions on Zapdos? (fuck zapdos)
