The vast majority of DPP LC analyses were written in an era of looser QC standards. Coupled with a metagame that has evolved over the course of its LCPL iterations, there are many on-site DPP analyses that are in need of edits. Luckily, resident DPP expert Fiend has compiled a list of changes that need to be made. Some of these changes we will make directly on-site. Others require a more substantial overhaul - and that's where you come in! We would appreciate the community's help in rewriting certain sets and analyses.
Here are a few guidelines:
If you would like to reserve any of these Pokemon, please post in this thread. I won't limit how many you can reserve at once for now, please don't make me regret this decision. Once Merritt or I approves your reservation, you can go ahead and post. If you would like to suggest other edits to on-site DPP analyses, please post here as well.
Thank you all for your help!
Here are a few guidelines:
- To reserve an analysis, you must have some experience playing DPP LC. Due to the limited number of DPP QCers we have, we will be especially strict on making sure writers have the requisite metagame knowledge. If you aren't sure if you qualify, feel free to hit up Fiend or I on Smogon or Discord to ask.
- Please make sure your analysis follows the guidelines laid out in the reservation list. For instance, if the list reads "Revamp Oran Berry set", you should write a new Oran Berry set, with the currently appropriate moves/EVs/etc. You should NOT rewrite the entire analysis unless asked to do so. If you think the analysis requires more work than is listed, you should say so in this thread.
- At times, the necessary changes will be minor enough that you can just make edits to what is currently on the site. In this cases, we will be much more lax than usual about enforcing Smogon's plagiarism policy. However, if you do use the original analysis in any way make sure to credit the original author where possible.
- Analyses should follow the same skeleton as current-gen analyses (see the main reservation thread for a copy/paste of this).
- These re-works must receive 2 QC checks and 2 GP checks. At least one QC check must be from a member of the "senior" DPP QC team (see below).
