How would we honestly enforce that though

 

Idk, we would need a ref or something lol

 

They only way you could enforce that is my giving one person all the info and that just gives that person an unfair advantage

 

There's just not a way to do it unless we vetted the teams before every match and that'd be insane IMO

Since attack calcs do have RNG involved we wouldnt be able to tell if defensive points were shifted just from watching replays

I don't like the idea and I think shifting stats and moves is part of the strategy

 

Make Randall the referee lol


This is a joke

 

Maybe next season I could not play and just commission/enforce things, since I'm not good at singles but have enough Pokemon knowledge to run the show

 

If Dustin gets replaced by oldjersey it'll be like macho man tommy savage replacing matt schaub

 

Hey if you don't play it more you'll never get good lol

 

I know but it'd also probably be easier to run things if you're not playing and vice versa haha especially if we get more advanced with it

Plus I wanna stay good at doubles and not start slipping as I fill my brain with singles ideas

 

Only drawback is I'd never be able to finally block @PeacefulOrca

 

*posts Dustin eating wings*

 

the teambuilding is one of my favorite aspects of this. locking teams would be too boring imo.

and for others who mess their teams at the start, they wouldn’t have a second chance if we enforced that.

also i am biased and will most likely have different setups for each opponent.

 

I'm not against changing stuff, I'm just lazy lol that's why I'm setting as many different teams as possible so I don't have to edit anything after my 5th loss in a row.

 

i would say just don’t think about stats too much. focus on coverage and defensive typing, then pick Pokemon that will give you trouble on the opposing team (whether being walled by it or swept by it) and setup counters for that

 

If me and elf both go 0-16 do we tie for last?

 

Showdown is good for noobs because it gives a suggested star spread based off the moves, and it is mostly good

 

You’d break the tie by owning a Pokémon game after 2009

 

I didn't know he didn't have the last two.

 

I played some of Y but the last one I owned was Pearl

 

I was just guessing.

 

@Jake W @PeacefulOrca when do you wanna battle?

I'll be free evenings tonight/tomorrow after 8 or all day Saturday.

 

Either of those is good, I just want to try out one more combo today

 

What's that my time

 

I'm generally happy with my team. I think it'll stand well. There's a few Pokemon I'm still trying to figure out how to use appropriately.

I've been messing around with Eject Button Sandstream Rhypherior to set up Excadrill, which in theory should work, but it's not enough of a guarantee for it to be worth it.

 

Anyone want a practise battle rn
