VGC of what generation?

[Quinn010]

will vgc replace dubs ?

[Umbramol]

Only mmo tiers vote where?

[caioxlive13]

Idea: If VGC wins, we don't do him on Showdown. Instead, we can do it on MMO itself, like it was made on PCL.

Up for debate. I said in discord but so others can see, I'd be open to using the newer gen 9 if that's what people want.

Right now I was thinking something like

1. OU
2. OU
3. UU
4. NU
5. LC
6. Dubs
7. DPP/VGC
8. OU/UU/NU Rotating each week. (Just an idea at the moment but would put value on flexible players in your team)

We can discuss this later on

We can do:

OU / OU / UU / NU / DB / LC / Showdown Tier / Non-official format choosed by same way than Showdown Tier(Only formats listed on Unofficial Formats Discussion thread can be selected and will follow the rules set on that thread.) / 2x Manager Choice(Excluded Showdown Tier and Non-official format.)

Why any showdown tiers? It's a managers worst nightmare - trying to find someone good when no one publicly plays showdown tiers is awful, often the competition is really low except from 1-2 people. And managers get their friends who only play showdown to enter and wreck some scrubs cos they are like a top 50 in-the-tier-player smogon tour winner. Why are we bringing back showdown? I thought this was dead and buried and I was thankful for it..

If they want to escape traditionalism, i suggested use the Unofficial formats on MMO. Anyone hear me?

Eh... No.

 

But you're right on one point.  Found players that play Showdown and MMO at high level, especially on Old gens like DPP, is more hard than found players that play MMO Singles and Dubs at high level.

I think that are better to choose one format unofficial from MMO instead of just select a showdown tier.

We will include 1 showdown tier. If the vast majority would rather not have it then I will step down and someone else can host that agrees with you.

Showdown is fine to have. Problem is when the format is... DPP or RBY, for example. Not saying that the formats are bad, but they're very old and will be hard even to teambuild and test teams if you don't have friends that play on those formats.

(Also it's 100% certain that a team that have a Showdown player like TheLpZ will get a auto 1-0)

The meta we have in PokeMMO is far more similar to DPP than it is any newer gen on showdown

why not a single OU, DPP/VGC instead of the second OU and 2 MC?

MC will be scrapped. I like the idea somewhat but I can't be dealing with managers forgetting to give MC early in the week and then asking for their lineups on the Sunday. I'll just be rid of it.

 

I want to try keep it as just 1 showdown tier for this season

Just leave very clear a deadline to send their MC and if they  complain after the deadline ends and loss by default on MC, they get a Warning. Multiple Warnings can result on point penalty.

Getting rid of it seems easier, I will do that.

 

Also it takes up at a minimum 2 tier spots. How boring.
