What type of bug are you reporting? Validator What is the bug? Gen 2 formats with Event Clause (such as NC 2000) now incorrectly flag all Hidden Power types as "Event-only" moves, thus banned. Regular "Hidden Power" is however allowed. No clue why this started happening as it was fine...

Japanese Tier Lists As mentioned in the OP, Orre Singles has been played for the last 20 years in Japan, so I wanted to share some tier lists I found. There are two important differences. The first is that they played at Level 50, which means no Tyranitar. This is undoubtedly significant, as...

Over time the Orre community has come up with several subformats that diversify the viable strategies and Pokemon. Main formats XD - Restricted & Mythical Pokemon are banned. Soul Dew is banned. Inspired by Pokemon XD's Orre Colosseum. Colloquially referred to as "Standard". Classic -...

art by IoSonoNeon approved by johnnyg2 Orre Singles Orre Singles is the officially supported Singles format of Gen 3. It uses Bring6Pick3 rules, with Item Clause, Team Preview and no additional bans or restrictions. Compared to 6v6, Orre Singles is much faster paced, but individual games are...

Hey appreciate this! Could I get a version without text or background, just Metagross and Salamence? DM it to me if you can please so I can DM you back

Requester: Akiak For: Orre Singles (Bring6Pick3 ADV singles, inspired by the ruleset in Pokemon Colosseum & XD) Art Direction: Just Salamence and Metagross fighting each other, with no text and no background.

For ADV & DPP doubles: 1) Hidden Power Electric is supposed to ignore Lightningrod. This is known as it was abused in Battle Road 2005 tournaments to beat Marowak+Gyarados (source at the bottom of the page, also here). Replay. Also affects Gen 4. 2) Shell Bell seems to not take into account...

Any update on these two? Here's a couple replays of Shell Bell in action in XD: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx9n1RzRnZAef3ACMV9Rs32mwd8kQfVvvL?si=MJgEA8vYFJw98KJZ

I was looking at this for ADV Doubles, cause it removes Sub/Icy Wind/Twave/Boom for a ton of mons, which is really interesting. And I had an idea. Ruby & Sapphire contain data for every single Pokemon (and item) in them. So one could simply play a metagame that allows every Pokemon, but bans...

I agree that it's pretty easy, but it's still an unnecessary step if most of us agree that R&B sprites are better. Also like I said it doesn't work in the teambuilder. And it's worsening the experience for new players that aren't aware of it.

So what's going on here? People just like the Yellow sprites more?

1) The Red & Blue sprites are the sprites that most people associate with Gen 1. They are also, in my opinion, far better than the Yellow sprites. Maybe you like certain Yellow sprites, but the most iconic sprites are from Red & Blue. 2) The changes that Yellow brings to the metagame are...
