Shit, I'll join. Sounds like fun if we do this as a random type thing.

random types sounds ideal imo and since verbatim has done it before and is going out of his way to make brackets and stuff I definitly think that's what we'll do

January 24, 2015, 02:41:14 PM

I call dark or ghost. Otherwise, count me out.

Maybe, but I haven't played Pokemon in over a year and it's been much longer since I've paid attention to the competitive scene.

If we're going to be assigned random types, then at least make it so that nobody gets assigned a shitty typing that is going to put them at a disadvantage, such as Rock or Ice.

I'm thinking no rock, ice, because you're basically garunteed a loss against a fighting team

No ghost because there's not enough diversity to really build a team with

Nooo, that's lame. There are plenty of great Rock/Ice types... Even Bug types. The whole idea is that we're all kind of disadvantaged in the sense that we can't all get what we want anyway.

I got Ice last time I did something like this, and I won, so... Not to mention, we're doing round robin, so one loss against a poor matchup isn't going to kill you.

Verbatim · January 24, 2015, 03:22:45 PM

You might have a point with Ghost-types, but I don't know. I still think banning types is lame.
The idea is to make do with the hand that you're dealt--that's what makes it fun.

Regice and Avalugg can tank hits like a beast, even from Fighting, and Froslass shuts Fighting down completely with its Ghost typing. There's also Articuno, who takes neutral damage from Fighting, packs Hurricane, and is a solid 'mon overall if you know how to use it.

Rock-types would definitely be a challenge, but there's still a lot of great ones--namely, all of the fossil 'mons.

true although whoever gets Ice is gunna be hella disadvantaged

Also I think for the sake of fun we should have a super lax ban list. Like no uber legendaries so whoever gets dragon/physic wont bulldoze everyone with a team of all legends, but people can use mega khan and greninja if they want

Verbatim · January 24, 2015, 03:30:55 PM

Mega Khan is Uber, though. Unless that's what you mean. Greninja is OU, last time I checked. But yeah, of course, no Ubers.

Oh shit, Greninja is Uber... When did that happen?...

Earlier this month... Smogonfags got butthurt because it's apparently "Too versatile."

that what I was saying like, should we allow non-legendary ubers?

Verbatim · January 24, 2015, 03:41:22 PM

Okay, here's how I think we should do it... If you are unsatisfied with your type, you can have one reroll. But whatever your reroll is, you have to stick with that type. How's that?

Quote from: Tyger on January 24, 2015, 03:39:02 PM

I don't think so, personally. They were banned for a reason, after all. I tend to trust Smogon's judgment. I don't know about you guys, but wrecking people with one OP 'mon isn't exactly all that fun.

okay both those sound fine for me

Verbatim · January 24, 2015, 03:52:08 PM

Should we all get different types? Seems like it would be a no-brainer until you consider that it might make the re-rolling system a little unfair.

Yeah different types. I guess you could reroll everyone at once so for example if you had fire and I had water , and we both decide to reroll there would be a change that I could get fire

What time do you wanna try to do this

Verbatim · January 24, 2015, 04:03:16 PM

I'm writing the rules thread right now. Should be up soon. We'll give everyone a few days to construct a team, of course. No longer a week, though.

Mat Cauthon · January 24, 2015, 04:06:17 PM

Pokemon Showdown or something?

Verbatim · January 24, 2015, 04:07:31 PM

I might like to join in then, when you've made the thread I'll take a look.

Fighting is actually my favorite type so I was hoping on getting that, assuming we end up getting to choose instead of randomly assigned.

random assignment is set in stone at this point.
