    PkeM has been home for a long time now.  I've been with you guys pretty much since the start of the team I believe, and never in all this time have I found a more encouraging, accepting and kind group of people.  Even when I turned my back on you guys and the team, and treated you like shit, you guys still forgave me and welcomed me back with open arms, multiple times. 
    PkeM and the people in this team have helped me through some incredibly difficult times in my life, and I can never thank you guys enough for the support you've given me. 

    I wanted this to be a super meaningful goodbye before I go rip, but honestly it just sounds like overdramatic bullshit.  I meant every word I said though,  and I love you all.  This doesn't just apply to PkeM though, this applies to all the friends I met in PokeMMO.  This community, while toxic and cancerous at times, has some of the most kind and interesting people I have, and ever will meet.  I'm going to miss you all. 
    Unfortunately I feel burdened by the mistakes I've made.  I can't carry this around with me forever, so I'm trying to let go and move on with my life.  I can never really make up for the mistakes I've made, and I apologize to all the people who have been affected negatively by my mistakes. 

    Farewell buddies

    I tend to agree, but I think both of these might be a bit optimistic? I'd love more discussion on this, however.

     

    Aerodactyl to B+:

     

    Tying for the highest speed tier in OU and packing a diverse moveset that can eliminate most slower sweepers and wallbreakers, Aerodactyl excels as a sweeper, Pursuit trapper, and Revenge Killer. In particular, Aerodactyl can be indispensible for its effectiveness in killing Ursaring and Heracross, as well as being able to hit Arcanine, Metagross and Gyarados for super effective damage with it's STAB Rock Slide. Unfortunately, most of these pokemon can also abuse its relatively low attack and reliance on Choice Band and Rock Slide flinches, which can result in a big loss of momentum for Aerodactyl or even a revenge-Pursuit trap from Metagross if it mispredicts or the opponent plays around its attacks. Other lesser used pokemon like Swampert and Flygon make Aerodactyl's life harder - as Double Edge is its best attack against them but it offers little utility against other major threats like Metagross and Skarmory.

     

    Unfortunately, it also struggles with a number of extremely common walls, including Slowbro, Skarmory, Weezing and Forretress. While these pokemon may not carry moves to hurt Aerodactyl (e.g. Rock Slide Forretress, Steel Wing Skarmory) they nonetheless wall it and happily take any opportunity to set up spikes against it. Even Chansey and Porygon2 can hamper its effectiveness with their respectable bulk, which allows them to 1v1 Aerodactyl fairly confidently. Because of this, Aerodactyl can only really succeed when paired with a team that can directly handle these threats by pairing with Magneton, a Rapid Spinner and/or strong wallbreakers or special walls who can limit the effectiveness of Physical walls for the opponent. As such, Aero can't really fit into A Rank at the time.

     

     

    tl:dr a sweeper that doesn't sweep 10/10

     

    Nah, it's pretty menacing if you pair it with a good wallbreaker, it's just that most of that speed is wasted in our current meta.

    Nice to know you can rely on a first strong hit but i personally wouldn't rank it higher than flygon
