I don't see what the fuss with these Pokemon having to hold an item to be Mega is... It's called Mega for a reason. Odds are some won't even need an item and will still be pretty strong in game and competitively. Just look at Blaziken. I'd rather it be an item than a fourth evolution for Pokemon like Blaziken or Ampharos because that would contradict everything Pokemon has been so far. It is a little disappointing that Pokemon like Lucario just can't evolve, but eh, the form looks nice and is no doubt more powerful than regular Lucario. Basically, I think it's a good thing that the way to get a Mega Pokemon is through a hold item.

That Ampharos has sage hair! And that Blaziken!!! omg MegaSceptile pls gamefreak pls. MegaInfernape too. << I already paid off my copy of Y but I think I'll put 40 more on it just because GF is doing a fantastic job.

I think Sigmund's Electrivire has more experience with children than Sigmund himself does.

Isn't there a league tier? I don't think the banning of anything would effect league as long as that's a thing. As for making CS OU main over regular OU, I think it would be a good idea. You see, the thing with weather is that it's not that creative either. So even banning those Pokemon wouldn't really change much aside from getting rid of really strong Pokemon. You would eventually see the same rain and sand teams here that you see on Showdown, and we would be back to square one all over again. However, if you make CS reign over Overused, that would generate more creativity since people wouldn't be inclined to make teams consisting of the standard rain and sand teams. But what we have to realize is that the metagame is gonna get stale eventually, no matter what we do. It's unavoidable. There isn't a good way to do this and make everyone happy, because where there are players that are happy they are banned, there will also be others that are mad about it.

Pretty much agree with Ame about waiting for X&Y. Who knows, Gen 6 might bring so much OP shit that those 3 might be needed to balance it out, doubtful, but it could happen. That aside, and just talking about those 3 in general. While it can be argued that they can be dealt with, the checks and counters are very limited in terms of ones that work 100%. Examples being Ferrothorn for Kingdra, Skarmory for Excadrill, and Tyranitar for Chandelure. The latter requires something to die, or the best case scenario something has a shed shell, like if you have a Skarmory or Ferrothorn to bait it. While I can't really defend Kingdra and Excadrill, and I really hate Chandelure with ST. I can at least think of one good way to keep ST Chandy in Reborn without a ton of complaining. That would be Team Preview, or making Wi-fi battles on Ladder, maybe both. If people know the opponent have a ST Chandy, which on Reborn, everyone would, then they would be much more careful with the things on their team that Chandy can easily trap and kill. I think the main reason ST Chandy is so OP is because no one knows when someone is running it, and it makes it very easy to trap and kill. Regardless of any of that, I do think these 3 make the meta game overcentralized, and prevents creativity because if you're not trying to defend against it, you're abusing it. However, we also have Clear Skies, which Wolf up there mentioned. That was the solution to SS and SR abusers. People begged and pleaded for it, and yet no one battles in that tier. It was literally active for a solid week at best. TL;DR: ST Chandy can be nerfed with Team Preview and Wifi battles, and if you battle in CS, the weather abusers aren't a problem either. Chandy is nerfed, no OP weather, everyone wins and nothing gets banned! Anyway, that's my say on it. Maybe once X&Y rolls around things will be better. Who knows. Peace.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW DD!!! YOU SO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW! Nah, you purtty. <3

7/10. Guy looks like he doesn't take any shit.

Where my next chapter at, bro? :I

Update 7 The Goons Deceased Yeeeeep. I had an extreme case of the lazy. But this story is not dead yet! Tbh I'm really surprised I didn't lose at Wattson. But Septus really did pull through. Almost died a couple of times, but hey, I won. All that matters, right? Anyway, sorry it took so long, and I hope you enjoy the read!

I agree.

Just updated mine. Go ahead.

The candy shop was awesome. I even got a part time job there working behind the counter. I have enough money saved up for a Dratini should Ame ever stop being a meanie and put Dratini in. Anyway, episode 9 is great and I'm sure you all will enjoy it as much as I did. c:

PrinceRenzo is my name.. but I'm really new to the game. I've been playing Annie as of late, but I have played Ashe as well.

Kay.

Probably just the head area of the sprite, as I'm not too picky. Or you can just use your best judgement for what looks best.

Okay, so I have a few battlefields you could use. Hopefully this is a nice start. Anyway, I went through a few themes I use frequently, and here they are: Oldstyle: http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/showthread.php?20944-Old-Style-Theme Nightmares: http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/showthread.php?15228-Nightmares Mewtwo V2: http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/showthread.php?14686-Mewtwo-V2 Wish I knew how to do that text link thing on the forums. Oh well.

On the topic of battle backgrounds. I've used several themes, and I've seen some pretty awesome battle backgrounds. But I'm not really sure if we could use those or not. I wouldn't mind getting some of the cool ones for you if I knew how the whole "using other battle backgrounds" thing goes. Is it like using someone's sprite work? Or can you just use it however you like? I could get some either way, I'd just have to ask. I'm just wondering, is all.
