Don't apologise, it's not your fault. I still hold my opinion about it, as well as my opinion about Ponyta, Electrode and Bulbasaur. I playtested them thoroughly, placed them all in the tiers I thought were appropriate based on the criteria that were set out at the beginning. And yet all of...

Currently, I'm going through pokemon Yellow again (and recording the gym battles) to show Hitmonlee's worth, because I'm sick of arguing about it and I'm going to prove it's worth. I can rebutt the arguments against it all day, but essentially it will just be a big waste of time. While I'm here...

I can only speculate about Yellow Machamp, but I can only assume that it's because of his low speed. Getting hit first consistently means he cannot sweep, especially late-game. I'm pretty sure Hitmonlee has 42 base speed higher, which is a significant difference. For a frame of reference, how...

Alright, let's address it. All of it. Let's start with Hitmonlee's stats. While he has the bulk of a wet paper bag, His attack is the 8th highest in the game, and is only 14 base points off Dragonite's. Remember, you get this right after Surge, so no pokemon aside from Gyarados or Golem will...

I'm not at a computer at the moment, so I can't really say too much, but I completely disagree. Hitmonlee is a great asset to any team. Sure, you could say something else is better at some things, but you can't knock Hitmonlees assets. He does very well mid-late game, only really struggling with...

In RBY, Base 87 Speed is actually decent, and Base 120 attack is phenomenal. In addition, after Stat Exp is taken into account, we can assume that Hitmonlee is fast enough to outspeed pretty much any Base 90 speed pokemon. And it's weird you compared him to Snorlax whose Speed is base 30 and has...

I threw my Masterball at a level 3 Pikachu in Pokemon Blue.

All this talk of moving Clefairy up, maybe someone should playtest it to be sure. In regards to Hitmonlee, the thing is an absolute wrecking ball. It basically joins your team at a very appropriate level, comes with a boosting move and needs very few TMs. Fighting/Normal hits everything...

I'm at work right now, so I can't access a computer, but I would like to butt in and say that Hitmonlee deserves its spot in high. Fighting/normal means that he has decent move variety and can hit many pokes at least neutrally. And rockets may have a ton of poisons, but Zubat and Ekans don't...

All this talk about Geodude moving up I'm the ranks, I'm think I should reconsider Rhyhorn. I don't think it will change but its worth another look. I'll give it a bit of a second play around on the weekend. Oh and by the way, every placing must be considered within the spirit of the game. This...

Not to nitpick here Atsync, but no Erica match-up for Kangaskhan? If I recall correctly, you can catch it before you fight Erika, even though it is highly unlikely. Other than that, looks good.

Hopefully I will be able to play this round, so we will see. In any case, with the randomizer, will a single file be distributed or will we all randomise it ourselves?

Ok, go read the rest of the thread. Seriously, this thread is the highest quality tier list in this forum. The write-ups are detailed, everything is discussed and cross-checked and we all play test to make sure. So if we all thought that something needed a tier to itself, we would have done that...

Yay, we won :) Massive props to the Grammar Slammers who have put in a Herculean effort. And good work Team, proud of you guys :)

Awesome (as the Pinball would not be a common game to come across especially.) Glad to have you back on board.
