Jack Tretton thinks you aren't older than eight.

Judging by some of his statements, he's seven himself.

Not any kind of competitions whatsoever here in Portugal. Other than that, me and a couple of friends organize competitions between ourselves, my Dragon team has had a bit of a winning streak xD.


Last I checked, Salamence was the very defintion of UBER and using Garchomp is just plain playing in God mode.

Salamence can be easily replaced by Dragonite (which is still not banned) which with a proper IV and Nature can give an equal speed advantage over the rest of the field. That's the beauty of the Dragon's, they're extremely versatile.

Plus, don't think that either Garchomp and Salamence are the strongest link in my team. My Kingdra is heels above both of them and Hydreigon is a destruction machine (I cleared the entire Elite 4 (2nd round) using only it at level 70).

Edit - I forgot about the 380 Atk stat from my level 80 Haxorus. Usually he goes first to thin out the field xD.

LOL that's what i was thinking as well.



Too much time dedication to create a perfect team.  I make mine the best they can be bar thier IV's, getting perfect IV's just isn't worth spending so much time.

Also the offical rules are kinda whack to me.

You have to play doubles, and only use 4 pokes.  I very much prefer the classic singles 6v6.

I dislike the use of legendaries greatly, yet only four of them are banned in offical tournaments (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Deoxys).

The only non-legendary banned is Wobbufet with Leftovers. 

However this year's tourny makes it so you can only use Black/White poke's, but that could very well be an entire team of B/W legendaries.

Plus people can use any move (minus Sky Drop, idk why), which means alot of them using moves like Double Team and Minimize so they have a high chance of never being hit, then spam one shot moves like Horn Drill, Fissure, and Sheer Cold until it hits. 

 

All and all I like the fan made tiers for pokemon.

Uber - Godlike poke's.  Anything goes.  (Basically a banlist for OU)

OU - Overused: Very powerful pokes but not godlike Ubers.  (This is where I play my stall team)

UU - Underused: Great/Good poke's.  (Probably the most varied and balanced tier)  (Making a team for this atm)

NU - Neverused: Average/Bad poke's, usually alot of one trick ponies and gimmicks.

 

From there you can set clause's, like:

Species Clause: No 2 of the same spcies.

Item Clause: No 2 of the same items.

Evasion Clause: No Minimize/Double Team.

etc.

 

It's much more controlled and fair, and you  can customize to fit your needs.

With this system every pokemon (minus NU tier)  has a place where they can fit and you can (mostly) have any poke on your team.



I beat the elite four and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.
