Officials and CC's are pretty boring if you are spectating and the only effective way to communicate about the tournament is with your team or in Vermillion normal chat. I suggest a spectator chat so that everyone watching can talk about the match. This slightly increases hype for automated tournaments, and right now there is no hype for automated tourneys unless you're rooting on your boys. In 2012-2013 it felt like every single official tourney mattered and was super hyped up. But automation and general hype for the tourneys slowly fell and they are really underwhelming to spectate. I understand that the hype for officials will probably never be as high as 2012-2013, but a spectator chat can increase the hype and make a match environment similar to PSL without forcing everyone to be in Silph or Vermillion. some potential cons/talking points: The players could ghost/get coached by the spectator chat. This could be stopped by disabling the chat for battlers but still there are some pretty simple ways to get around this. But then again if someone really wants to coach/ghost, they could also talk in team chat or whisper the player just as easily as a battler could check spectator chat. Doesn't 100% solve hype problem because there is something special about everyone being in Silph watching battles rather than opening up some menu and watching the battle there. Gluumuk memes would die quicker

Me vs rigamorty around 2-3 pm EST Saturday. It will probably be immediately after or before Linken vs sweet so it doesn't conflict.

@JIceJDragon owes me 100k @Suneet owes me 50k 200k on me vs riga

I heard goku used hakai against zamasu i thought that shit was god of destruction exclusive. episode 95 was probably my favorite of the gathering universe warriors pre-arc. plenty of action, cool ass animations, and frieza.

yeah for the meme i feel u @Rigamorty im bringing custap hp ground magnezone and dugtrio to our match

@BurntZebra "overpriced showdown player" last week and the replay drop week 2 damn I can't catch a break 1v1 me gen 1 random battles 500k

idk if this holds true for others but pp max are expensive as hell so fire blast will always stay as 5 pp lol

There was a really interesting post on smogon forums during the XY OU meta that was about accuracy moves. It used the example of Charizard-Y and the choice between fire blast and flamethrower. It was a pretty detailed thread and listed 40 or so calcs that basically concluded fire blast was needed to ohko most of its checks. I wish I could find it again because it went through most of the discussion you guys are currently having. My thoughts lie mainly in the middle, because I think its really situational. A lot of the time you don't need to go for the move with less PP and more power to get the most out a pokemon, and sometimes, like in the case of XY Zard-y, you do. I always thought Pokemon was like one big game of poker where you just try and bend the odds in your favor. Sometimes you can make the safe plays and play the cards, and it will work against lower skilled players most of the time. But other times you have to go for the riskier bluff in order to bend the odds and make the unfavorable positions favorable.
