What is this about: This is pretty much a general thread for Showdown challenges, they don't all have to be versus me so feel free to bring your friends. Any tier goes, challenges must be 25k+ to add a little bit of motivation (Some people are poor okay, can't make it too expensive) I'll keep track of the various records and make a broken leader board where you just challenge trash players below your elo and maintain a top rank. Will there be a prize for my dominance?: Not yet, but it depends on how popular this thread gets really, for now the prize will just be the money you win from bets and the glory of your name being placed higher up on an ambiguous list than your fellow players. If people are keen about this, I might throw in a cash prize to the top players on the leader boards at the end of the month, but we'll see. What do I need to do?: Just post/take challenges on this thread and post the replay (for our entertainment and so that the match can be verified) What tiers can I play and what tiers are legible for the leader board?: All Showdown tiers are available, if your tier doesn't yet have a leader board, make a bet on that tier show your dominance and I'll put it up. How does the leader board work?: Win = 1 point. I know its pretty complex stuff Donations?: Only once we start having monthly prizes will I accept donations, for now just throw your money away losing your challenges Leader boards: Overall: SM OU: SM UU: SM LC: DPP OU:

Africa was robbed

Water steel is something I'd be pretty hyped for, such a cool typing to use in comp

I appreciate that you responded to us, it's always nice hearing some form of acknowledgement when the community feels abandoned, and I do apologies if what I said comes of as some sort of attack, that was never my intention. However, I do find it quite disconcerting that the GMs refuse to answer me or replies like mine because we're mean or scary or they just are disinterested I dunno. As it stands silence doesn't build much confidence, and I truly wish I did not have to bother you to get my voice heard by the people who have the type of power needed to answer our concerns. If they just reached out to us like you have, there wouldn't be an outcry from the community.

There's clearly something wrong with the current system of tour prizes, so your solution is to ignore it? You say you wont change tour prizes which are gifts so they cannot be traded as if they have a gigantic influence on the economy, but then turn around and release limited vanities that are worth a crazy amount more and you don't see any hypocrisy there? You've created a system where those who work for and earn their money are immediately overshadowed by those who just merely horde vanities. I feel like this is just another way you are neglecting to competitive scene, I hope for our sake that you are at least working on a better prize systems and aren't actually ignoring this central part of your community. Anyways, you have peaked my curiosity, how exactly do gifted tour prizes cause inflation if they cannot be traded or sold to other players? Sure the argument might be said (at a push) that the comp players who win a 6x31 shiny bellsprout may not want to go and buy Timmy's shiny bellsprout, but the reality is competitive players wouldn't buy that bellsprout to begin with. Tour Prizes are something we can show off, but when you give us these shiny prizes with ivs worse than our current comps you are depriving us the opportunity to show them off in battle. Reading through your response you mentioned something about reforming official events, I hope you have taken into consideration what the comp community is saying about prizes and types of events. Tl;Dr Give us tour prizes worth our time

Dont worry fam, I'll try think up something heat just for you

Give it another week, next 128 ou tour is going to have a 6x25 non-shiny comp prize

Staff are really putting up non-shiny comps with my kind of ivs and expect it to be an adequate prize for all the hundreds and thousands of hours of work people put into this game, its a joke really edit: @Desu @Kyu @Squirtle @Rache @WhoeverIHaveToAt Frankly this needs to change, you're actively mocking the efforts of competive players with these insulting prizes, instead of hiding behind the opaque cloak you have worn for the last 4 years start hearing and responding the the feedback of your player base, especially the veterans who have stuck around for so long. If we're wrong then make a post explaining why you believe us to be wrong, because if you don't do that then you'll continue to alienate this sphere of the game.

We can ban linoone too, Im alright with this

Im gonna take some wild guesses, Scorbunny and its evolution are gonna be that fire/ground(I dont really know what im basing this on, maybe diggesrby) or fire/electric(Cause its looks fast as heck). Grookey probably grass/fighitng (its basically the grass chimchar lets be real) and Sobble is about to get that water/dragon combo (since the games set in britain my guess is that its gonna evolve into the loch ness monster)

32 please and thank you

One man's trash is another man's treasure

Maybe it's best we don't revive the thread after all

@benjaminvoz what did I tell you?

I'm not here to defend any corruption (cause lul guptas), but I assume you've studied the bare minimum of South Africa history to understand that a vast amount of the problems we are facing today emerge from the previous apartheid government(such as education, the huge disparity between rich and poor, etc) or from colonial times. These problems need to be addressed even if they aren't particularly popular for everyone. If you believe that the problems would solve themselves without governmental policies that leave us "on the receiving end of dirt" I would love to hear the solution. Though that all being said I'm not trying to say our political sphere atm is totally innocent, just that a lot (If not the majority) of the major issues we are facing have emerged from our country's history of racism.
