I kind of don't want to see the huge Gourgeist considering small size gourgeist looks like a phallus.

Wait, the bottom screen was supposed to be the Pokemon's pokeball the entire time? I thought it was supposed to show the entire team, and that everyone else was only keeping one Pokemon at a time. Shows how much I know.

I knew the fairy type would cause a metagame armageddon! MUAHAHAHA!
@Robo-Floatzel; IKR, and what's worse is that they have no creativity when it comes to ev's and movesets. It is also obvious they have brain damage because farfetch'd is in OU. How the hell did that happen?

I agree with you, Smogon's only goal is to essentially take away the fun of battling with a person's friends, and replacing it what whatever insane rules they can come up with to take away people's fun in battling, a lot of the time they will ban Pokemon that have a base stat over 500 or so, and I bet they are willing to ban a Pokemon just for having a pink shiny coloring when the regular coloring is blue and black.

I can only imagine how many older Pokemon, even fan-favorites, let alone new ones, are going to be banned this generation, for whatever new moves or abilities they have, and most especially Mega Evolutions, will put entire species off the map for years to come...

Yeah, the best comp advice i've ever got was from the Pokedit boards, 'cos i'm currently trying comp but i'm too busy to ev train and iv farm. I use smogon for guidance but don't rely completely on it.

Have you read their assessments at all? That isn't true in the slightest.
A BST of 500 is pretty average as OU goes, actually.

Their actual goal is to provide different tiers so that Pokemon can compete against their equals. That is why they have Little Cup, Not Fully evolved, Under Used, Ubers and so on. They are not enforcing their own tiers. People choose to use them because they are logical and actually pretty fair.

They don't design tiers for you and your friends, they do it for the competitive battling scene to try balance and unbalanced game. Or what FairyGaga said, whatever works.

Me? I don't care that much for EVs and IVs, and I ignore Smogon and it's insane rules most of the time, and prefer to instead follow my own set of rules to create my team, ignoring tiers and that stuff.

'Insane rules', you mean to stop combos that rip up the game into teeny, tiny unfair pieces? Feel free to use Arceus as much as you want, I'm playing fair with Pokemon I like that work together.

There's a 70th one? As far as I recall we're up to Zygarde as the 69th (pffft)

And is it me, or do we have a lot of tanks this generation?

I think it's an event Pokemon.
And, since the 3DS hasn't been cracked asaik, we won't even know about it until (if) Game Freak reveals it.

We definitely have a b-load of slow Pokemon.

I don't like it.

It might have been me but Gen 5 felt like there was too many sweepers and glass cannons introduced. If that was the case, then I think a more defensive gen complements it well.

Now that i think about it, there were lots of offensive pokemon in gen 5. I prefer sweepers over tanks, but that's just me.

I found this over at Serebii:

-Josh just stated that if your affection is high enough, you can blow away burns.
-I need verification on this, but according to this, Kanpachi confirmed that truly the E4 each have Mega evolutions like before (same Pokémon as well, Druddigon, Chandelure, Scizor and Gyarados). Again, I'm not sure on this one though.

Edit: After looking at more of the posts, I really think this is the same rumored information that just resurfaced. So that second bit's probably wrong.

Blow away burns? Seems a bit odd to me. 4chan can be hard to tell, as they have been both truthful and liars.
