This sounds weirdly territorial. So the smogon draft community is not interested in how the wider draft community operates?

Right...but this is draft. I thought maybe we could look to support the most common draft formats. There is a not insignificant portion of the draft community that likes to run nat dex because they want to use Megas but also like having things like pursuit and hidden power removed. Sports used...

Any chance we could get a draft format for gen 8 of Nat Dex without Legacy moves? Unless the lift is too large of course. It's a pretty common draft format in my experiences and although it's possible to self-regulate, a lot of people don't know which moves were removed and mistakes happen.

^ Somebody come get this man. A meta can absolutely have too many threats to be healthy. The more threats there are, the more it becomes about match-ups and games become determined at the team preview screen. The number one complaint about Gen 7 is it was too match-up dependent to properly...

It's an incredibly bad idea to have a NatDex format without also having all the old moves brought over. The audience for Galar Gen 8 is everyone that wants to play the game as-designed by Gamefreak. The audience for NatDex Gen 8 is everybody who wants all the content from past games plus new...

I'd imagine we do the dex entries because flavor matters to some people? Take away flavor, and you're left with chess.

When did Pokemon stop being fun, exactly?

Yes, degenerated. The logic that something like adding a type to an already existing Pokemon is the same as making a Pokemon from scratch is simply ridiculous, and the fact that logic like that will dictate whether an unevolved-icon from the bygone days of RBY will get an evolution over a...

Farfetch'd. If Smogon has degenerated to the point where theyd evolve Houndoom over Farfetch'd, all is lost.

Strategem won all the other polls, come on people. What are you doing?
