Forum Rules
  • In order to post a thread, you must have the approval of a moderator, so please PM one before posting your thread. The moderator team will delete threads that do not have approval or do not fit into the scope of this forum. Additionally, there should not be any duplicate threads, so please check to see if the thread you want to post already exists before requesting approval to post it.
  • This forum is not the place to ask for help with a team. This should be done in the Rate My Team forum Rate My Team forum. Please make sure to read the rules of the RMT forum before posting there if you choose to do so.
  • All discussion should be based on the actual metagame and information regarding it. This is not the place for speculation unless explicitly stated otherwise in the thread you are posting in.
  • Posts in this forum should not be about how National Dex is implemented and how you think it could be implemented better. There are no plans to change how National Dex functions as a metagame. However, any concerns or questions regarding this can be directed towards a moderator or member of the tiering council.
  • Do not create threads just to ask questions. Instead, make use of the simple questions thread.
- Don't double post. There's an edit button for a reason. If you need to delete one of your posts, the delete button is an option after selecting edit.

- Make the effort for your posts to be grammatically correct and coherent. We understand that not everyone speaks English as their first language, and we're willing to give some leeway here. However, if English is your first language, you really have no excuse to be making incoherent posts. Bad formatting not only makes your posts unpleasant to read, but they also lessen the positive impact of the points you're trying to make.

- Don't put your opinion in hide tags. This isn't really infraction-worthy, but if you're going to write a paragraph of your thoughts and opinions, make it visible. Hide tags have their place, but hiding your opinions in hide tags is apt to make people not read them at all. There is enough censorship on the internet already, don't censor yourself here.

- Avoid excessive quoting. It's obnoxious, especially when you quote three paragraphs to answer with a one-liner. Please don't do that.

- Don't reply to a quote by putting bold text inside the quote box. This is exceedingly difficult to properly respond to. If you feel the need to break up a quote, you can do so by editing the quote tags. For example:

Code:
[QUOTE=User's Name]
Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2
[/QUOTE]
Would become:

Code:
[QUOTE=User's Name]
Paragraph 1
[/QUOTE]

Response

[QUOTE]
Paragraph 2
[/QUOTE]
-Do not insult or flame other users. Correcting users when they say something that's clearly wrong is fine. Calling them a (BAN ME PLEASE) or saying they are stupid/retarded is an automatic 2-point infraction. No exceptions for anyone, badged users included.

Guidelines for gaining support for a tier in this forum:
- pm all forum mods and we'll guide you through what to do
- to have a running start its generally good to have a good council in terms of size and basic resources to start, but these aren't super strict.

We have updated the requirements needed to have a Natdex tier featured here to be more general as there are only so many metagames that can exist and each may be affected by different factors. For example Ubers or AG aren't known to have constant tiering so their council may be a little more lenient in terms of numbers. It goes case by case but if you think you have a strong case to start one feel free to pm one of the forum mods!
