Pfft. You're the one who can hit 'edit'. You wanted the job, buster. You do the job.
Don't work like that, man. That's like when Shane B on 1UP Yours 'defended' MGS4's script by saying "and what other stealth action game has a script that's better? Splinter Cell?"
And the another thread you're looking for is Minsc's Good Old Games thread.

Well I did didn't I?
And the GOG thread isn't an "|OT|".

Vote Suairyu for Grey OT!
Musicals will always be updated on time! Even if the game isn't on DS, the thread will say it is! Will curry favour with Minsc by not insulting his thread to let PokéGAF rise to a glorious new age! Will make it mandatory that all posters join the IRC once in a while, including Andrex!

I needed a good reason to stop posting, anyways. GAF is burning me out.
For reals, I don't know if I want to do the Gray OT.
But it's 3am and this duck needs to sleep!
edit - Andrex you quitter! Just post less, not abandon your flock!

You just have to come in at a less active time.
You just have to deal with the needy people and ignore the others.
Btw it was pretty nice to see so many new faces today, spy you gotta get your head out of the KS thread and come pay a visit!

Check your router settings. I can't see you in the lobby.
I was having this issue last night and putting my DS into my router's DMZ fixed it.

Man, the Smogon ruleset looks like it's out of control these days. How many tiers and clauses do you need?
Play VGC.
Ignore whatever the fuck happens in Smogon-controlled metagames.
The path to competitive Pokemon nirvana.

Reading up on Moody makes me want to create a team of six Bidoof.
Hi five for Superior Silver and Winning White versions!
Precisely. I'd much rather play under GF's flat battle rules that deal with Smogon this Gen.

I bought Soul Silver and an Action Replay, just so I could play it with the GB Sounds from the beginning. With the original music, it's now Supreme Silver. Also, instant message speed cheat means I can get through text about as fast as I can press the button.
Yes. Firestorm is great and knows best.
VGC is so much more entertaining. Instead of a cluster fuck of tiers and ban list, it's really pretty straight forward. And doubles opens up so many strategies.
But it also means I have to go back and breed in Gen IV for Tail Wind Move Tutor. >:|

I've preferred doubles ever since I started actually playing competitively (Platinum), so that's already a foregone conclusion. I still enjoy catching up on current events for other metagames once in a while though, so I'm just browsing through some stuff in policy review.
The impression that I walk away with is that everyone seems more interested in manipulating the game to be what they want it to be instead of accepting it for what it is, yet there are at least half a dozen different schools of thought as to what that game should be in the first place. I suppose that's always been true to some extent, but all of these conditional bans (like no combination of two specific weather abilities) really take that to a whole new level. Why not just play Advance instead of B/W if you're going that far?

Game Freak obviously has been tailoring everything toward doubles, in terms of abilities, and new moves. It makes so much more sense to have a metagame with doubles, instead of forcing singles.
But people attempt to make competitive gaming out of a lot of titles you'd probably consider 'party games' and 'unbalanced'. So whatever they prefer, but I'll stick with VGC ruleset when I play from now on.

Do actual real-life VGC tournaments use team preview or not? I can't remember.
EDIT: Rofl, this was great, Firestorm.
EDIT 2: I just read the changes made to Sleep status in gen 5... HOLY FUCK. First team idea is a go!

IIRC, it more or less mirrors the Battle Subway ban list, which includes 2 classes of Pokemon:
- legendaries with a base stat total of 660 or higher, which are considered to be overpowered by design, basically
- event legendaries that can only be obtained through special events, which aren't to be considered part of standard competition as far as The Pokemon Company is concerned
Everything else is fair game. The rules change a little bit from year to year. In 2010, you were permitted to use up to 2 Pokemon from the first category on your team. In 2011, all pre-5th gen Pokemon were banned.
Huh. Is there at least Sleep Clause? I can't imagine the game with sleep running rampant because it's just so dangerous, but maybe the doubles format eliminates the issues it can cause?
