Alright, I just moved 44 resource and discussion threads into RoA so they could still be viewed by logged off users. I left permanent redirects, so the old forums should be fine. Almost all of the threads were for ORAS, so at least we finally have a bunch of topics on Gen 6 here.

This thread's now open for suggestions~
 
Jellicent, I recommend moving http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/dpp-lc-viability-rankings.3573461/ and http://www.smogon.com/forums/thread...ead-now-discussing-farceus-viability.3505128/ into RoA with permanent redirects left in the old forums, so we can view those when logged off. There currently isn't any RoA topics for DPP LC viability rankings and DPP Ubers viability rankings.

Add http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/dpp-nu-general-discussion.3583742/ to the DPP NU section above as it has a few teams that the NU Old Gens Hub doesn't and it's just better.

EDIT: I forgot about http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/nu_speed_tiers
plz add that too

I have made a video guide about the Spikes Game in ADV OU. It goes over your options for spikes/spinning, the pokemons to pair with them or run against them, etc. If you ever wanna get into the tier and wanna learn the basics (and more) of one of its best playstyle, this video should be helfpul!

according to the post, the oras stat distribution guide was written by metal sonic, but the guide itself says that it was written by scorpdestroyer. what's up with that?

http://www.smogon.com/rs/articles/adv_nu_threatlist
and
http://www.smogon.com/rs/articles/adv_nu_speedtiers

along with the viability rankings in this RoA forum are the most important ADV NU resources.

Also for the time being, there are tons of in-progress analyses here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/past-generation-analyses.148/
which will eventually be uploaded and (possibly?) listed here: http://www.smogon.com/dex/rs/formats/nu/ like we've been doing for dpp analyses
added both articles, thanks~

and yeah, adv nu analyses should be on-site shortly, we're just going through a massive GP push / some QCing atm :3

Took time but I made a video about techs you can run in ADV to help you in the spikes wars. Once again, feel free to delete if this is considered advertisement.

I just noticed the warstory archive has no threads, were they deleted? And if so, should the link to them be removed?
 
Jellicent Lutra undisputed the ORAS VR thread is still not updated to the proper one (linked in the post above).

also, i just made a proper ORAS sample teams thread: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/oras-ou-sample-teams.3642242/

i think these resource compilations are pretty poor honestly. i think every tier just needs a VR, a proper sample teams thread, speed tiers, a role compendium (if there is one for the tier), and a link to the analyses forum. keep it simple since a lot of those other threads like good cores were only useful when they were being actively updated. you should also put a big notice about how the analyses are no longer frequently updated and may be out of date.

edit: linked the wrong thread originally.
 
Can someone update the link to the sample teams thread? https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ruins-of-alph-sample-teams.3650478/

Edit: The link labeled ADV/RSE UU viability rankings really links to the OU teambuilding compendium, so I think that link should be deleted.

Edit: The link to DPP viability rankings is also outdated. New link: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/dpp-ou-viability-rankings-mk-iv.3652538/ I get it if you're busy with SwSh stuff, but please update this more often after the SwSh stuff settles down.
