    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    Eh, in game, Rowlet fares pretty decently, IMHO. There are relatively few good grass types in Alola, and starting out Grass/Flying helps you a ton in the early routes, where you'd otherwise be weak to bug. Comparatively, Incineroar has to compete with Salazzle and Alolawak, both of which you can...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    That's a fair point, but an excuse for having a bland or dull design doesn't really change the fact that it's a bland or dull design. If we take Voltorb and Electrode at face value, it's clear that they lack any meaningful distinguishing features, and I'd argue it's fair to criticize them for...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    You could probably go ahead and say that none of the UBs really resemble what we'd consider typical Pokemon designs, and I find that to be one of their best traits. After 7 Generations of designing hundreds of Pokémon, the designers are still able to create things that not only look unique, but...

    SM OU Mega-Gardevoir Team

    Hi! Sorry in advance if I mess up in format or something, I'm new to RMTs on the forums. As for your team, it strikes me as a little too homogenous in terms of typing for an offensive core. It currently has no way to deal with steel types except for Staraptor, which is a soft blanket check at...

    Unpopular opinions

    I have to agree, Gallade in particular was a stellar example of the new evolutions to old mons. I'm probably a little biased though. :P MOD EDIT: Double posts merged. Please use the Edit button next time.

    Unpopular opinions

    The similarities between USUM and BW2 are pretty apparent. From what I've seen, a lot of the marketing for both games featured the fusions between the mascot legendaries and the tertiary legendary, they both introduce their natures as sequels with a prefix/suffix (assuming you consider the...

    Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer (CAP V. 3.0 READ THE OP!)

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I was wondering if the balancing of an individual CAP mon was made with respect to the average balancing of the OU tier, or the CAP tier? For example, is a Pokémon like Aurumoth intended to be able to theoretically fit into the OU tier without...

    Could pokemon become an eSport

    For the record, I do play doubles, though not to an extensive degree, and I was implying that to become a successful Esport, GameFreak would have to shift its focus from single player. I can't think of a single Esport right now where the main campaign is the priority of the developer.

    Show me ya Moves: A Look Into Gen VII Balanced Hackmons

    Fantastic article! Especially glad you mentioned the Comatalk ban, which was, for me, what made the tier bearable again. Thanks for the interesting read!

    Suggestions for Pokémon Showdown

    I agree, as annoying as it is to wait for someone to reconnect, I've had my internet go out on multiple occasions mid-game, and had to finish the match on my phone. It takes at least a minute to load up the account again, and once you do, you have almost no time for strategy, you just have to...

    I feel like how AV Tang must feel knowing that it can't even wall Protean Gren.

    Best Luck in Pokémon

    For years, I've had terrible luck with shinies, hadn't legitimately caught a single one. Then in SuMo, I decided to do a blind Nuzlocke, and as such was grinding like crazy. I was in that place where it always rains, and I stumbled upon a shiny Pelipper, one of my favorite Pokemon. A few minutes...

    Could pokemon become an eSport

    In addition to what Pikachu315111 said, I would like to posit that Pokemon has always been designed with the single-player experience at the forefront. It doesn't take much to see that multiplayer, while barrels of fun, isn't exactly a balanced metagame, in either singles or doubles formats. And...

    The Most Facepalm Worthy Thing You Have Done in All of Pokémon

    It took me years to complete Platinum, because I couldn't figure out what party I wanted to finish with, and wasted a lot of TMs/levels on Pokemon that would never see the light of day again. I only buckled down and finished it earlier this year, and that was just so I could transfer Pokemon...

    Voltorb's design is GENIUS

    I mean, on one hand, I can see the point you're trying to make, and yes, Voltorb clearly serves the role of mimic in the original games. However, I feel like it's a bit of a stretch to say that Game Freak took inspiration from other mimics in its design, as the only real link between it and...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    It might have already been mentioned, but the process of transferring between Gens before Pokebank is...really bad. What could have been a simple process where you select the Pokemon you want to move from one PC to another becomes a time consuming mini game. And the big catch is, you can only...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    Personally, I really, truly hate the Tepig line with a passion. It's bland, has no right to exist, and brings down an otherwise outstanding trio of starters, the likes of which were cleverly designed, had unique niches, and actual personality. If I might list the problems I have with this...

    Ask simple questions here! [READ ORIGINAL POST before posting]

    Dumb question, but where can I go for instructions on creating a room bot? The ones I'm used to are outdated.

    Suggestions for Pokémon Showdown

    A minor nitpick in battling, and one that might have been already posted, but it'd be nice if weather and terrains could both be clearly visible at the same time. I know that you can see the turns of terrain/weather in the upper left corner, but I think it'd be more convenient for battles if...
