Audiosurfer
I'd rather be sleeping
Topic of the Week 7
Back from the dead. Now that Gen 6 has started, Topic of the Week is now being resurrected. As for the last Topic of the Week, due to the long duration of time and the range of things posted, I won't be awarding a Best Poster for that topic. Before you bemoan the lost point opportunities, leaderboard points will still be given out. However, due to the unique circumstances, instead of the usual format, 2 points will be awarded to the following users for their discussion over this time period:
Points Breakdown:
+2 - Arcticblast, Audiosurfer, Blankzero, Laga, Lucariojr, noobcubed, Nollan, Pocket, Punchshroom, and Pwnemon
Now that that's out of the way, onto the new Topic of the Week: Pokebank
Due to the fact that Pokebank, a downloadable software that allows you to store Pokemon from ingame onto an online cloud storage space, will not be available until late December, many Pokemon are unavailable in XY until then. This means that many iconic Pokemon from Gen 5 such as Thundurus, Heatran, and Latios will not be in the XY metagame, at least for a time. For this topic, think about the impact it will have on the metagame. Which Pokemon will rise due to less competition? Which Pokemon will fall due to the loss of a niche? Questions like these are things you should be considering as you respond to this topic. Also, when answering, don't forget that this is a discussion project. While sharing your thoughts is great, the importance of providing input on other people's posts can't be stressed enough. No one wants to just read a bunch of mini essays saying the same thing. Good luck :)
