I've been meaning to ask for this for a while, but... I haven't. I wanted to say how much I liked the "When a Match is Crit or Miss" article and how it would be nice to see more like it. That is to say, good players annotating a battle between good players. The centerpiece of the article was an discussion of the impact of hax in pokemon, but the real draw was the match analysis. In most other games -- chess, Starcraft -- most of the learning comes from hearing matches between higher class players explained, something which doesn't happen in pokemon. Most warstories, which are the closest thing, are random players playing random players. I guess the reason is that most good pokemon players cbf to explain themselves, which is understandable given the smaller community. But, for instance, while Phil's Protips were really helpful, they would have been ever better if they'd been wrapped in a practical application of their ideas. I was hoping to see more like it -- though, with an understandable delay due to the introduction of fifth gen -- but it doesn't seem like more are coming. So I thought I'd ask. There's not much I could do to help something like this, but I'd contribute whatever I could. If you want a "mediocre player's corner" for beginners who can't understand the thought processes of players like EW yet, I could write that.
I'm not sure if someone else has asked for this already. Someone probably has. Sorry if that's the case.
