Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
If not, what makes the tiering different from racism in a world where pokemon are given equal rights as people? I know this is a loaded question but I wanna hear a genuine answer from someone who works on smogon and understands the metagames created.
Hey blitz so as a staff member I wanna ask you this genuinely and this is for a fanfic I'm writing that features it's own metagame. Would competitive pokemon incite racism against pokemon that are ranked as unviable, like delcatty or ariados.
Why did it take even that long to figure our rhydon was bulkier than golem? 2010 Really? I say by 2004 this should've been known.
This is what i mean by 2002 the damage formula should've been solved.
Alright level with me. Why did people think golem was bulkier than rhydon early days. Did they forget to take into account hp all that time? Were they that oblivious. It seems silly that the misconception that golem was bulkier than rhydon shouldn't have ever existed.
Alright so i wanna see how much usage a pokemon needs to drop to untiered with this modelbased on current scarlet and violet tiers. OU UU RU NU PU ZU 7U Untiered.
Alright so i wanted to ask from someone who knows competitive very well. I'm writing a fanfic called alive again that has it's own competitive metagame. How would you in-universe describe competitive battling to the main character who while smart is only 4 and very childish and still adjusting...
