:rb/mewtwo: Past Gen OM Analyses Reservation Thread :ss/zacian:

Welcome, everyone, to Past Gen OM analyses! In here, you will be able to write about your favorite Pokemon that you've come to know and love in the biggest Other Metagames Smogon and PS! have to offer. The OMs we are offering will be ORAS Pure Hackmons and oldgens of metas with active teams! Currently, these are the metas open for reservation:

Guidelines for Reserving an Analysis:
  • Anyone can reserve two analyses at a time, in total from any metagame. If you are currently a badgeholder or a member of a QC team, you are able to reserve four analyses (only four in the metagame you QC, if you are a QC member). Analyses currently in GP do not count for the limit total.
  • Do not reserve the Pokemon without extensive metagame knowledge, knowledge of how the Pokemon works, and a lot of experience with the Pokemon. If it is clear you do not know what you are writing about, then your analysis will be reassigned.
  • In general, anything with a sample set on the Smogon Dex is fair game.
  • If you wish to reserve an "unconventional Pokemon," you can certainly attempt to do so. However, you must provide reasonable evidence, a set, and at least some substance to your post.
  • If you do not follow through on your reservation within 48 hours, the Pokemon you have reserved can be reserved by someone else. However, if no one has done so after the 48 hours, you can still post the WIP. Do NOT reserve Pokemon if you don't have the time to finish the analysis!
  • Any Pokemon approved by a QC member of the metagame you wish to analyze will be fine. Generally, reserve Pokemon that have a placement in the respective metagame's VR, and don't waste a QC members time with unviable Pokemon.


Analysis Thread Tags:
  • [WIP] --- The Work-in-Progress tag indicates that you are still completing your Pokemon's skeleton. This tag indicates that you are not ready for QC checks, and are still working. Do not be lazy in this stage, if you do not get it to the QC stage within 72 hours of having this tag, then your analysis can be archived and reassigned. This can fluctuate if unpredictable circumstances prevent you from being able to write (i.e. accidents or getting sick, not school or work) -- if that happens, contact a QC member to let them know as soon as possible.
  • [QC] --- This is the most important stage of the analysis. Please put the tag [QC: 0/2] in your thread title. When a QC check is implemented, change your title to [QC 1/2]. Your analysis can also be taken over by volunteers if a QC check fail to be implemented within a week. Additionally, if your analysis is inherently flawed, a member of QC may "QC Reject" your analysis, sending it back into the WIP phases for improvement. If you are QC rejected twice, or if the QC team thinks your analysis is unsalvageable, your analysis will be archived/reassigned.
  • [GP] --- This stage is where Grammar Prose will come and make sure that your analysis is of written quality. They will correct grammatical errors. Like GP, you must put [GP: 0/1] in your thread title. You must also reply to your thread with the comment "GP Team" to get your analysis added to the queue. Your analysis will also be taken over by volunteers if a GP check fail to be implemented within a week.
  • [Done] --- This tag indicates that your analysis is done, and it is ready to be uploaded by site. This will be handled by our OM C&C Moderators, so feel free to tag us once your thread hits this stage

To reserve an analysis, please post in this thread with the name of the Pokemon you are reserving and the complete set you are planning to write about. A QC member of the respective metagame you are writing for must approve the analysis by liking the post before you can post a thread in this forum containing your work-in-progress (WIP) analysis. All analyses are expected to follow the Spelling and Grammar Standards.

Important Announcement!
Each QC team can decide the format for their meta's analyses. Currently, all formats are running with full analyses. These formats both requires 2 QC checks and 1 GP Checks, though the first GP checker can stamp 1/2 if they believe the analysis requires an additional GP check. Additionally, you only need to reserve one set of a Pokemon, if you want, not every single viable set. The format for these analyses can be found right here:
