So there was some talk on Smogon of a potential suspect test or nerf of stall which was supported by many players, but was ultimately shot down entirely by the Council.
>In regards to all of the aforementioned points, and to both p2 and Robert Alfons, I'd like to clarify a few things. When I say that "the council believes x", it isn't an example of us being unjustly tyrannical. We are who we are because we make tiering decisions that aren't entrusted onto the masses. If we simply took the will of the Smogon masses then there wouldn't be a need for the existence of a council at all.
>Additionally, the same Smogon masses deemed Dugtrio deserving of staying OU not too long ago, so it's still a bit soon to retest there. We obviously can't repeatedly test things that stay OU because then that tilts the scale in favor of the pro ban side always. So, the only possible test at this point in time would be Sableye, but Sableye isn't currently deemed a problem so nothing is happening at this point in time.
>I hope I cleared everything up.
>Nothing is happening at this point in time

>immediately undermines that point by reminding everyone that in practice the masses actually do make most of the decisions, ie. by voting not to ban Dugtrio
Standard Smogtard.
Not that I disagree with the general sentiment though. Sableye isn't broken at all of its own accord. The problem with stall is that there's nothing about it that is individually broken so it makes it very hard to moderate the playstyle without complex bans. The Djgtrio suspect was actually a very smart choice by the Council as Dugtrio is one of the few Stall mons that an argument can even be made for (due to its "uncompetitive" ability the likes of which has a precedent for being banned) but you were all too stupid to see it and just spammed LOL THEY'RE BANNING DUGTRIO WHAT A JOKE like retards.
Both sides here are fucking stupid.

Dual-slot mode is one of the reasons I love the Generation IV games. It's simply amazing how we can influence the wild Pokémon encountered on the DS games by using the GBA games.

It's neat, I guess, yeah. I wish we could have had some more Fire-types available without it from the start, though...

I liked how games could make use of the bottom slot for accessories, but I don't think many games did so.

While I do love mostly everything else about HGSS, the fact that they didn't fix the weird ass level curve is shit. While it isn't unplayable, it does make the ladder half of the Johto a bit less fun.
X and Y were shit. But, the Battle Chateau and Friend Safari were interesting and fun features that I wish weren't removed for later entries.

A lot of Johto Pokemon have 1% encounter rates and the capability to run away on top of that

By far the 3D graphics in battles which adds so much life to the Pokemon

In this thread, one champion collects six pokemon to reclaim the holy land for his holiest Allah. As soon as he inevitably loses enough times, he will call for a new mujahid.

How the flying fuck are truth and ideals in conflict with one another?
Why couldn't the brothers just pursue truth AND ideals?
Also, how does Reshiram represent truth and Zekrom represent ideals?
There's nothing in their design or characteristics that have this aspect.

Despite having lore more shallow than the Regis (in debut), at least Xerneas and Yveltal's life vs death aspect works.
At least the sun and moon are common thematic pairs
At least time and space works because of the whole spacetime philosophy shtick
>>
>>32657714
Truth and ideals can only exist in harmony when there is an entity powerful enough to be the end of both. It's classic Latin theology about the end of man. The end of man is to contemplate the Essence of God, the human intellect being perfected by grace. Thus God is both truth and the ultimate ideal, all in one.
