    Strategy & Metagame [38-M] Remembering Our Roots Redux: Where Are They Now (Part 3: DPP)

    This will be the last one in the series, as articles about the transition from BW to XY have been done to death lately. I will reference a few of them as further reading in my closing of this article. Victims will be: Garchomp (unless you really have an objection to this one, Garchomp was the...

    Remembering our Roots Redux: Where Are They Now (Part 2: RSE)

    Same premise as last time, only this time for gen 3. There were just enough Pokemon in the S and A rankings that I had not covered previously to make for a top 10. Suicune Celebi Metagross Salamence Swampert Aerodactyl Dugtrio Heracross Flygon Jirachi I will most likely not be very active...

    Strategy & Metagame Remembering our Roots Part 2: Where are They Now? (RBY)

    Title is subject to change if I have a sudden flash of creativity. Though these are rare. Given the reception of my last article, I'd like to continue the trend - where I previously looked at the impact Pokemon had on their own generation, this time I will be looking at how the giants of each...

    Strategy & Metagame Remembering our roots: A look back at the heroes of generations past

    In this article I am going to take a look at the most powerful and influential pokemon (in OU) of each past generation. I'll talk about what they did in their respective generation, their most powerful set, and other factors that made them great. Sorry if I'm giving a rather vague description...

    Ten awesomely bad pokemon that aren't any good but should be!

    In this article, I will discuss pokemon that should be good. Whether it's a killer dex entry, something in the anime, or that they just look the part, these pokemon should be able to fuck shit up. And when it comes time to use them in battle, they... well, they don't. I'll provide a humorous...

    Strategy & Metagame Pixie Powerhouses: Who Benefitted Most from their new Fairy Typing?

    I've been active in the competitive Pokemon scene since RBY, and on Smogon since 2005, but this is my first attempt at contributing anything to the site, so pardon me if I'm not quite sure where to begin, and if I'm not quite sure what should be included in a proposal such as this. My idea is a...

    Pre-battle team selection and the simulator/Wi-Fi gap

    Here is another issue that I have seen discussed in #dreamworld a few times, but which has only been given a passing mention here. However, as it is one of the most significant rule changes in B/W, I feel that is warrants discussion. Please note: This is not a discussion of game mechanics...

    Rotom formes and usage statistics

    I haven't seen a topic addressing this issue yet, so here goes: Last gen, it was determined that there wasn't much to differentiate the different Rotom formes, especially since a lot of the time they just ran defensive sets which did not even include their new signature moves. For this reason...

    Verbatim Wireless Keyboard: Unusable by Design

    Yesterday, I found myself in need of a wireless keyboard/mouse to use with my computer, which is hooked up to a 40" TV so I can use it while lying on my bed. I previously used a long USB extension cord, but since we got a cat and he likes to destroy such cords, that's no longer an option. So I...

    article After scamming billions of dollars from people over the years, he's finally paying for it. Unfortunately, those he stole from are only going to get back a portion of what they lost, because he spent the rest already.

    Wi-Fi Warstory: Syberia vs. Gin

    So I'd been playing around on Shoddy the other day with a half-random and rather fun-to-use team of pokes, and surprisingly found myself winning with it a lot more than I had expected to. So, of course, when I was asked for a wifi battle later that night, I decided to give it a try. My team...
