[Bulbasauur]

Good match Shippou. :3

I liked your selection of pokemon. : D

We should rematch sometime. : D  

[Fox Demon Shippo]

Thanks. x3

I wouldn't mind. I still ROFL at Cookies though. xD

And I was surprised that your Pokemon were faster than my Flygon. S/he's pretty darned fast. o.o

Also? "Foe's Fangs Fainted!"? Priceless.

Ahaha! Found it!



Original Gold versus New Gold. lol

Aw....

...Vans are awesome. crying

But not without socks. sad

And want what? A WiFi League? I didn't say people wouldn't want one, just that we have no need for one.


Edit: Ahahaha. The 2010 Video Game Championships have been confirmed to be Ubers. rofl

Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Lugia, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia and both Giratina formes will be allowed.  

[Bulbasauur]

LOL. Poor Smogon.

WHO'S TO LAZY TO LEARN ABOUT UBERS? BULBASAUUR IS!!!

Yes, I am terrible at naming pokemon.

But doesn't he look like his name could be cookies? D:



I should try and put him in the beauty contest for lulz. I can't figure out contests for the life of me though...  

[DJ Trouble]

Both Girtatina forms mean you could have two Giratinas on your team? <_<

My team would be Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Lugia, Groudon, Palkia, and Dialga. >_>

I suddenly want a chocolate chip Heatran. sad  

[Melody Hikari-Shinu Anson]

rofl

I CAN HAVE MY PALKIA OF DOOM AND A MEWTWO! >8D


D: As if I have access to a qualifications round somewhere.  

[Fox Demon Shippo]

I wanna get an untrained Palkia and a shiny Charmander at some point. >.<  

[Hunter of the dusk]

Ubers always felt so... cheap. They always seemed to be (to me) the answer for lazy people who don't want to train a strong pokemon by themselves. Although I am training my team of ubers currently just in case someone feels like an Uber game.

My Mewtwo is my pride and joy, right after Scyther. I have Dialga, but I never really felt like training it. It's still level 46

EDIT: Also, I've found that with enough forethought you can smash most ubers into the ground with mediocre pokemon. Or at least good type coverage. My friend never saw that solar beam coming from my ninetails when he switched Groudon in smile  

[Melody Hikari-Shinu Anson]

Except for any Mewtwo and the Palkia someone was nice enough to clone over the GTS, my experience with ubers is a sour one.
Although, one look at my Groudon's nature, stats, and moveset showed me the reason why. [385 Attack, Naughty nature, BUT THIS DOES NOT HELP WHEN MOST OF ITS MOVES ARE SPECIAL. D:<]
Too lazy to examine my Rayquaza well, but he sucked worse than Groudon because at least Groudon's Earthquake shut up any land Pokemon, and his Drought helped speed up my Tropius. I did update his moveset a bit to better suit his stats, but what can you do when it's already at lv. 100? D:
So like, Ubers/legendaries in general are like, "YOU SUCK, YOU GOT BEAT BY SOMETHING THAT WASN'T EVEN IN THE SAME CLASS. D:<"
Then again, both teams from gen III that I raised to 100 suck because I didn't know about this thing called "EV training", so.......  

[Hunter of the dusk]

It really aggravates me that Vulpix/Ninetails can learn Energy Ball through breeding, but not through the freaking TM

Also, all of my teams from gen III are pretty decent. I didn't bother with EV training too much back then, but I ran most of my pokemon through the elite four so many times that they're pretty much balanced out and are tough all around. I've also found that to be successful you just have to be able to predict your opponent and carry the appropriate counters with you (if you have a pokemon that's weak to earthquake and you see a groudon, switch to a flying/levitating pokemon in anticipation. If they pull a electric on your bird, switch to ground, and so on and so forth. It pissed my friends off that I always had the perfect cover for every pokemon's weakness. Not to mention some oddball moves)

EDIT: and if you're going to pull that switch-crap like me, always carry a rapid spin pokemon because they will catch onto this little game and set up entry hazards. I normally just set up my entry hazards and outlast them while trying to set up a sweeper (nasty plot Ninetails, swords dance Scyther, ect.)

@DJ: There's a No Duplicate Species clause in the VGCs, so nope, just one Giratina. Also, they're limiting the number of legendaries you can use to just two, to avoid the legendary fest that was JAA's tournament. Well, Japan is, and people are like, "WAIT THEY COULD CHANGE THE RULES FOR NORTH AMERICAN AND EUROPE!" Really? In a competition that has to come in global-regional parts due to sheer size before those parts can come together for one giant fight, they're gonna give each part a different set of rules?


@Ubers are for losers: Ubers is NOT cheap. Playing Ubers in itself does NOT make you a b*****d too lazy to train up "real" Pokémon. Playing Ubers against other tiers is what makes you a lazy jackass. But when you're playing Ubers, against other Ubers, in the Ubers tier, it's perfectly alright; You're not getting bonus points for bringing OU and under to an Ubers fight, guys.

That being said, I love Ubers. In theory. I just like legendaries.


@Hunter: You can smash any Pokémon with any other Pokémon if luck is on your side. This is not news. Also, switching out is the staple of competitive fighting. The only things meant to last more than a few rounds are walls; Everything else either runs every time they're faced with something that even remotely has the chance to kill them, or they die/get sacrificed for a revenge kill.

As for Rapid Spinners, that's what Starmie is for. Starmie ******** up everyone's s**t and is the bane of everyone's existence. But from what I've seen, Rapid Spin is pretty much being cast to the wayside unless the person knows that they'll be going up against entry hazards, at any time, ever. But with Good Stuffs on a drastic rise (at least, in Japan, seeing as the NA scene is chock full of RD and TR teams), it's becoming a lot more hard to predict that s**t.
