IDK...

So... I assume you're talking about Skype because X and Y's game chat blows? Okay, sure. Just give me about 10 seconds ago to call you.
(Edit) You DID mean game chat, didn't you?

I don't hate smogon... Just a few of their rules and the players who "enforce" them. Besides if the nl community is doing something as a group I want to help

This^

I don't "HATE" smogon.. heck where do you think I find the sets for my mons.. however I feel that the "University" and whole "you'll be banned from the university if you put more than one poke to sleep" thing is a little to serious to my liking.. like a xbox live clan.. just way too dead serious..

However of course you don't see venomoth sleep powdering everything because of the sleep clause and that's solely only because I know it's unfair to others who do live by those rules... and the metagame... the metagame that smogon made that gamefreak didn't intend...

Has anybody else noticed the fact the pokemon fanchise is labeled as an RPG game.. RPGs are ment to give the player freedom and experience and make you feel like your own world.. skyrim, assassin's creed, and more importantly earthbound quite show this... pokemon is right dead in the middle and just like earthbound the strategies were ment to be taken as a "RPG" fanshion rather than sexy poker hardcore competive..

The addition of pokemon amie quite influences this.. hint from gamefreak maybe?

you said it all and even the most "unfair" strategies can be beaten without the need of a perfect counter(of course this excludes the super legendaries, but nothing else)

True, some of their rules are dumb (no Sand Veil and banning Blaziken).

Sorry, dude. Can't help you this time. I've been waiting all week to marathon SuperJeenius's Persona 4 Golden Finale and this is my only chance to do so until next Sunday. The whole thing should take around 3 and a half hours, so basically, I also won't be able to Skype for a while, was my point.

Stay positive! +

I'm not going to be home for the remainder of the day, so it's no big deal.

I just happened to read the rules on Somgon, and I laughed. So, putting two of your opponent's Pokemon to sleep(which any good player should prepare for), OHKO moves are banned(despite the fact that they are often a gamble and outside of Mind Reader, have low accuracy) are not allowed, but we have Stealth Rock is fine even though Stealth Rock is a very annoying move and hurts tons of Pokemon that would otherwise be viable in competitive play.

Wow.... I just don't get those rules.

We can't allow certain things like sleep and OHKO moves but Stealth Rock is prefectly fine. It's like the rulesets for Smash Brothers tournaments that ban certain stages....

So blaziken is banned in OU.. but keldeo, terrakion, latios, latias, mega pinsir, and the most rediculous of all.. black kyurem is allowed? Heck cloyster is in OU AND uber.. and after playing around with cloyster lately is seriously broken..

A pokemon with dizzle AND swift swim on the same team is illegal in most tiers? What's the point then?

Tiers or no tiers.. I've won enough Uber battles with UU pokemon.. smogon's logic in seperating everything in tiers is invalid.

Blaziken and Cloyster are easy to counter, I just use my Donphan and sash Gardveoir for Blaziken...Hell, Talonflame is Blaziken's worst nightmare. For Shell Smash Cloyster with the sash, then have a Pokémon with a priority move (Bulllet Punch, Extremespeed, Sucker Punch, Fake Out etc will save your life).

You know that's encouraged right? You know there are NU pokemon with an Uber analysis. Uber is just a ban list. Using non Uber pokemon is not special. No one is forcing you to play a certain way. Play how you want. Cool. Just don't think you're amazing if you win breaking sleep clause.
Cloyster is easily one-shoted. It's not broken. Ask turtle xD
Black Kyurem is OU because it doesn't have the move pool to support it's attack stat. Now If it's special attack and attack were swapped then it'd be banned.
