Imperial

The sad fact is you were scammed, we completed the Jirachi raid and got the same wishing stone and didnt have to waste all those hours during the Christmas event

Scyther is cool

@Luke They stole your idea bro...

I'm not saying that I disagree, but pretend that all the hidden abilities and legends get released, then what? Will everyone start spamming for Gen 6 and fairy types like what we're already seeing? I would much rather have a fully functional game with QOL features and features not currently added (e.g. Battle Frontier) implemented with a twist and cool prizes rather than things which will takes ages to implement only for the community to get bored of within a few days/weeks. There's only so much you can do on a game which primarily is compatible up to gen 5 graphics, the game has been around since 2012 and they've made massive progress in recent years. Am I saying the staff are perfect? Of course not, but the community are incredibly self entitled and have the most unrealistic expectations. And no, I'm not a bootlicker, just someone that appreciates having a successful game with a community where I've met amazing people.

Have a nice day.

Go Miltanks!!

Lmao you will just rig it to show up for the remainder of the year Why would I bet money on something you can easily manipulate?

Mr, MGMA, RKLG, UMT, AVL

Who wants to bet half these teams won't sign up after January?

Shame I can't make this one, but looking forward to seeing similar tours like this in the future - keep up the good work!

I respect you as a player, but didn't you also get banned at one point for wintrading and preventing spelenn from getting top 3 in the OU ladder? I think that anyone who win trades in general should be looked into regardless of what team they are in. Having said that, I hope qqqianx is able to sort their issue out, a very nice person respected by the community.

I think the pandora's box was how Gallade was handled - if Sharpness was never implemented and then continuously adjusted in the first place, then I highly believe that a lot of people would have different viewpoints about how devs/TC implement things, etc. It's nice to have new additions as a 'surprise' factor especially when the meta and game overall are stagnating, however, there always needs to be a healthy balance and I think as long as there's a guarantee that no game-changing content will be randomly 'dropped' to make the game more interesting ignoring the consequences (e.g. your clarification on HDB), I think the community overall should be a lot more accepting.

Congratulations to everyone at lava, best of luck in future tournaments.

You should see the competitive discussion thread and you will realise why it's needed

Yes please

They had two weeks to sign up with a clear deadline, if they really wanted to join they would have done it sooner.

Team Logo complete: Our try-out message is on the PSL Discord for those interested playing for our team - good luck to everyone!

When I see the same person who brought Porygon2 + Wobbuffet to counter-team me in an OU Tournament also complain about Heatran being too broken in OU because of Magma Storm, I won't make any comments.

Thank you @Shadow and @RysPicz for giving me the opportunity to manage on the big stage, it's greatly appreciated and I won't let you down. I would like to confirm Aris @YourAngst as my Co-Manager. Team Name: The Rolling Miltanks (professional team logo hopefully soonTM) For anyone interested in playing for our team, please private message me on Discord with why I should pick you. I'm not focusing purely on replays/accomplishments, but you must prove to me that you're an active dedicated player who is determined to contribute and play throughout the event.

What are Tier Councils thoughts on Tangrowth now its HA came out?

I do love your responses and general activity lately, please keep it up!

I'm glad that the hosts brought back a showdown tier for this PSL, but from what I understand DPP was originally introduced as a 'progression' from the previous Gen 3 OU meta we had on MMO. Since then, DPP is now over ten years old and MMO has heavily changed where we have a gen 5 meta mixed with gen 8/9 mechanics, so going forwards it may be good to introduce SV OU as a new Showdown format or ORAS OU at the bare minimum. I know a lot of people are against Showdown tiers since it's not related to MMO, but I do believe it will bring old players who aren't committed to MMO, players who may have talent and most of all less resources needed to breed Pokemon etc, which is why I will always be in favour of a Showdown tier being included.

A few years ago, @ThinkNicer created a Discord Server to discuss viability rankings and usage movements. Recently, I've been given ownership of the server and would be keen to revive it again and have engaging discussions: https://discord.gg/ykQ7MKWY The aim of the server: I've created contributors for each tier based on the individual's knowledge, where they can rank a Pokemon's viability in the tier and people can discuss whether any changes need to be made Tier Council roles have been updated, it would be great if you both can join to complete the list @DoubleJ @Parke Update the community on new changes to the game and discuss their thoughts Help new players with getting into the competitive scene and teambuilding Have transparent but professional discussions with Tier Council about anything that needs addressing in any of the tiers I hope advertising this server doesn't break the rules, but I believe it would be beneficial for the competitive community. @Munya I'm not sure if you would like to join as well but I think it would be appreciated if you did. Let me know your thoughts.

I agree except for one minor point about when to introduce stuff, there was a time when Breloom's Hidden Ability got introduced in the middle of an OU shiny tournament, someone managed to get one ready haflway through and swept the tournament and won it because nobody knew about it/was able to prepare, so in general I think there should be a balance between preparing for the unexpected and new stuff potentially affecting large tournaments at short notice (e.g. seasonals, Cup of The Year, etc.) By the way I appreciate you responding so quickly, thank you.

I think this was the right approach, and considering how Heatran will balance out OU in the long-term and will likely be extremely expensive due to the difficulty of accessing and beating the raid, it makes sense to have it permanent. These events are usually very similar each year anyway, so I'm glad you decided to add new things to mix things up a bit. The only thing I'm cautious of is if players want multiple Heatran sets how much it'll add up to, but I guess it's supply and demand...
