Remove King's Rock, Quick Claw, and Sand Veil from competitive play. And any other RNG inducing ridiculousness you guys allowed to be used for whatever reason. There is no counter play to these items / abilities. It is not in the players hands, it is in RNG's hands. Extremely frustrating to lose when you have a max HP Magnezone to ensure Cloyster is manageable; and then some Kings Rock cloyster flinches it to death.. Same with one of the most popular pokemon (Garchomp) avoiding eq's / toxics / hp ices in sand and just dropping you like its nothing. Not even gonna talk about the extremely slow Pokemon with quick claw which outspeed fast Pokemon / scarf users and annihilate them because they rely on that small % chance. *My experiences are from OU since I am purely an OU player, but I know this affects lower tiers also.

As much as i respect my boi Wally, Kriliin is on a whole nother level and i don't even need to explain myself on why that is so. You're either being ignorant enough or pretending to be not acknowledging that, either way you're such a clown for that. I'm not gonna talk about your other points because they're not even worth answering. Anyway, I'm done talking and not gonna waste any more of my precious time on you. Chatting with a newborn baby would be even better than with ignorant imbecile like you. Have a bad day.

Hi! I will go across entries today and create a list, checking for alts etc. Then xJoseee will draw the winner. Should happen some hours from this post, as Im not at home yet.

Cute charm failed me!

Imagine self-proclaiming yourself "super pro" and yet avoiding GodKriliin in week 4, just go delete yourself dude

Yeah like i have all the time in this world to read every single post in this thread even more so care about yours

Which is fine. New account =/= alt accout. It will take some time so bear with me please.

We should all listen to the great Kupokun, after all, he was Past PSL's best underrated player. I think everything this guy says should be taken into account and fully implemented immediately.

Linking to a previous post I made regarding this: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/126555-ban-quick-claw-kings-rock/&do=findComment&comment=1739779 Also an update to the post I made is the following screenshot from the BW OU council: It's nice when decisions that directly affect competitive play are made by competitive players rather than staff who are too stubborn to see the stupidity behind their decision to drop these items back into the game. It's also nice when Smogon's tiering council jumps in to resolve the issue while MMO's council just silently watches.

Over 6 hours of making and 2 hours of marketing and 2.5 hour tournament. I still am smiling from all the clutch moments. you did lovely, all of you <3 Stay fresh cuties o7

Why do people like you who have absolutely zero clue about PvP feel the need to comment on a PvP-related topic? Nonetheless, I'll still take the time and effort to entertain your worthless and uninformed opinion because there are a few who would genuinely want to know the answer to this. We want our pokemon competitive play to be on a level where there is a balance between luck and skill. There is going to be a conflict there because, in general, competitive play largely relies on skill over luck, yet we competitively play a game that uses a large number of luck-based elements. To balance out the two, we have clauses in place to minimize the amount of effect luck has on a game. Since you're absolutely clueless about it, here is a list of clauses in place: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/37764-official-pokemmo-list-of-clauses-updated-with-tournament-mode-clauses/ The purpose of the clauses is so that people don't rely on luck-based strategies to overcome skill, because that in effect would kill competitive play. The purpose of the topic is to remove these specific luck-based elements (kings rock etc.) because these completely kill competitive play. We're not asking to remove crits / damage rolls / status because then we wouldn't really be playing Pokemon. Not every single thing has to be in the extreme end of a spectrum (one end being 0 RNG and the other end being 0 bans/clauses) because a balance of the two can exist.

got these cuties, vulpix was today, growlithe 3 days ago

I did not know this thread existed so I will reference it. Important to note not a single response on this thread linked above from any mod, admin dev etc other than a very safe response avoiding the topic.. @Rache @Munya @Squirtle @Kyu @Desu @Bearminator etc.. whoever makes the decision idk (clearly not mods but trying to get an admin to respond is the equivalent of trying to get blood out of a stone) Why do you make changes for the competitive community which are by design uncompetitive then refuse to respond when we question why? What is the choice behind this decision which severely affects the games competitive integrity. All I ask for is a response with even a single reason for why for this was added. And even that will not be done.

Tournament ended in less than 45 minutes with some fierce battles close to the last turn! It was a hard task to manage/whisper contestants while updating the Challonge status of the bracket, and spectating such great battles. I'm grateful for everyone that showed up and very sorry for those who couldn't join in the last moment due to my sloppy timing. I expected battles to be short and fast, as many starters counter each other of the opposing type. And you certainly delivered, you guys were brutally fun to watch and built great teams of 3! I wish we could have saved some replays, since it was a single elimination Tournament and I couldn't spectate any matches fully. Every match was unique and the pace was so fast that a single turn gave many the victory they seeked You can see how every participant progressed in the bracket here: https://challonge.com/StartersFight Congratulations to: #1 Place: Drakkmord #2 Place: SebbyKunnn #3 Place: Kupokun #4 Place: SharpBlue I expected Tournament management to be stressful and it certainly was, there were many things that needed to be checked at any given time and it got pretty intense. But it was all worth it because of you, thanks everyone for showing up and being as excited as I was about this, for spectating, cheering and battling. I hope you all had fun, I know I did!

Ikr! Look another failed cute charm today

Tournament Logs https://challonge.com/fclrykhm Protagonists: Snow White Cinderella Rapunzel Aurora Belle

Have you tried yelling dodge?

@NagaXhas decided to sub out JasonSparrowX for @mago1993 against @soyhector

You said you want a story here is part of one :) - The end had come and factions were drawn in this chaotic age of change Aurora and Belle of the Fungus Alliance(FA) vs Snow White and Cinderella* Rapunzel* members of Zolds Team Rocket (TR). Tensions range high as on the dueling and exhaustion could be felt from best contestants and audience members. Both factions was know to the audience before they took the field for this last battle. (FA) came to the people claiming to carry with them something invisible and timeless called Plot and hope ,but team rocket claim was to unity and strength of their faction came before old ideals for now was a strange age of transformation. The first match took off with quick success for team Fungus who were untouched by their opponents every move. They seemed to move in unity Belle assisting Aurora to quickly knocking out Snow White ,but as she fell a new fighter who rushed the field only to be greeted by confusion on all sides. It was none other than Snow Whites whit less follower Garchomp who jumped on field to help the fainted princess. At once the match was halted and both factions had their followers shackled by the great field master Olden the fight began anew. This was a battle to test the princess beliefs and power not their backers to lead lead them forward. The second match was called and played out much the same as the first except team rocket having learned and begun hitting back as a team however they were both knocked out by (FA)'s Aurora. FA had won but that was only one of the 2 rounds they had to win to take control of the kingdom. As (FA) prepared themselves to to clutch victory team rocket hatched a plan of their own to secure victory. Once both teams were rested and ready to fight both factions took position to fight with all they had and both wished luck on their side and losing all thought of the audience surrounding them. This time Team Rocket was ready they knew who took away their chance of winning 2 times was and they wouldn't let Aurora do so again! Together the Rocket princess rushed forward and focused with all their strength upon the unsuspecting Aurora who fought with all she had but could not carry on under the Rockets combined strength. All the while Beele was forced to throw attack after attack only to be ignored by the Rockets. As Aurora fell the rockets felt the field began to shift they knew there was only one princess in the way of the start of their new reign. The same could be felt from the audience who started to see the light for Team Rocket and who would lead them through this age of man to monster. Amidst the chaos the untouched Belle was beginning to make her move. While as the battle worn Rockets saw an easy win Belle was ready for exact revenge on her exhausted enemies. With vengeance she began to lash out at Team Rocket the tense team rocket to only struggle to beat back Belle. Taking only superficial damage belle stuck back with more than the Rockets could handle. Each hit knocking them further from being hopeful underdogs and into the dirt. The first Rocket to fall Was Cinderella who prayed for her sister Snow White to perform a miracle. Snow White realized this was it, she need to find a weakness or a second to breath however time was short and Belle was ready. With Focus Belle delivered the final strike on the despite Snow White who landed on the ground right next to her already fainted sister. The fighting was over a hopeful new Rule United under the belief of Plot was decided this day under the eyes of the princesses audience and the Field Master Olden. This New Kingdom born from uncertainty was destined to only grow in the times of transformation. I tried to work within your frame work :P

I agree with you on this, I'm not sure why the "hax" abilities was reintroduced either when Swords dance was the problem imo. i guess to take, you got to give a little? There's really no coming back from the "hax" items either.. whoever's big brain was to bring them back was real clever >.> As for the kings rock, when it calls a match i can't imagine the anger/tilt people would have from it (not mine, so don't flame me for that) so if anything is possible, do look into it some more, Ban/Nerf whatever you want with King's rock & if possible, ban Quick claw. (Don't really see it that often either, just on the rare occasion but for the sake of our sanity) Further thinking on it, there's not many options that give a solid answer. Reban the Hax items + ability, bringing back Swords dance is going back to square one, While banning the ability to bring back Swords dance pretty sure will be a issue quite quickly in this current meta. Nerfing the items/ability to only work for so many turns could be a solution, but then it might as well be banned because you won't ever see it used. (which i suppose works out xD) there's probably more, but you get the point. Either way - I'm with the community here, do something if possible. ^^

The plot was the BEST!!!

This was awesome. I think regardless of the outcome Aurora held the plot :P Also GG Everyone!

I WON PEOPLE. GGS to all and thanks to @Oldenman for organizing the event and @EssDeeCeefor funding it. Love you all <3 :3

great idea, why don't they also remove damage rolls and status chance from moves. I want my pvp experience to only deal exact amount and with guaranteed hits RNG? that doesn't need to exist if its competitive after all

>:(

Let me share my personal input into this controversial topic. First, allow me to separate the mentioned abilities/items into two: 1- Sand Veil /Snow Cloak. 2- King's rock /Quick claw. 1) They require specific conditions in the field to trigger (aka weather). They are also shared information both players possess (since its an ability). Therefore, the miss rate provided by these abilities is not much different than, let's say, a miss from Hydro Pump. In which case, it's up to the players to play in the way they maximize their victory chance. In sum, and in my opinion, I can't say that 1) falls within rng or uncompetitive status, because that would mean stuff like Hydro Pump or Focus Blast would be too. What you can argue, however, is that a 20% fixed dodge rate under said conditions is broken, but that's a bit out of topic. Let's move on. 2) These require no specific conditions in the field to trigger. King's rock relies in outspeeding only, while Quick Claw virtually requires nothing at all. The main problem here is that an opposing player has no way to know whether these items are being used before they actually activate themselves (or via superhypermegaultratopkekuseless gimmicks like frisk). This unfortunately removes all sort of skill put into the match, as there is no realistic way to consider these variables to the most optimal winpath, or in other words, puts the game completely in rng hands, essentially removing the "competitive" aspect of it. tldr; rng mechanics are always super bad. Rng abilitiescan be arguably labelled in the broken status, while rng items, such as King's rock and Quick claw should be labelled under Uncompetitive status and therefore banned/removed/whatever you want to call it.

Two shiny Teddiursas in Safari this week, which both fled sadly.

I just wanted to catch rare pokemon... As did everyone else... And you profited off that same feeling in others.. And you had your staff close and lock threads for years. It's wrong.. I was wronged. I can't even be sure I'm playing a fair game anymore and I genuinly advertised and contributed it thinking you were a community of active devs who cared, but the opposite is what I've seen.
