  2. No, we don't need season 9 because you are on the sideline for the rest of season 8. It's not in the spirit of PSL to promote a new season or another league while we have one at its most interesring stage. Plus, probably the main reason for the lack of funding in season 8 was not due to Zebra hosting, but because it happened too soon before 7. We need some breaks in between, to let people miss it first, then build some hype and funding.

  5. I wouldn't say we had a lack in funding this season, we still hit 50m+ in a reasonable amount of time. The prize isn't even that significant typically, since if you were really after money, you could grind away the entire PSL prize pool (50m) in the time it takes PSL to complete. As for PSL9, I'm not sure if it would be better to try and squeeze it in before the update whenever that is, or wait until the update hits, then for tiers to settle down. An update in the middle of PSL would be quite disastrous as there would need to be some tier changes to PSL or a long pause to get new tiers and have people make new comps for the tiers, and hope that people don't just quit when the update comes out since it'll add another big grind to the game. The first few seasons of PSL had a sizable gap between them, but that was when the game itself was a bit more tolerable (easy breeding, silph co officials, etc). Now the game for many people is pretty boring and the only reason to log on is PSL. The alternative to hosting PSL with a small gap is to host other large scale tournaments like smogon does. Orange attempted WCOP but the hype died fairly quickly with the player turnout combined with the very long initial round 1 matchups. Smogon has OUPL/UUPL which are smaller scale versions of SPL dedicated to one tier, but in multiple generations. They also have smogon tour/grand slam/etc that fill up the entire calendar year, so even though they only happen once or twice a year, people don't mind since there are other big competitive events happening throughout the year. Our playerpool is probably too small for some of their events or our tiers are too limited (a PSL of just OU or UU would be quite boring, since we don't have generations to divide up the tiers). Ultimately, I think it is up to player-run events to keep the game alive for the competitive community, as the upper staff of pokemmo are not doing a great job at keeping officials hyped up like they used to be. Those player-run events don't need to be PSL, but PSL is definitely the most hyped out of all of them in recent memory. Even unofficials with a huge prize like eggplant's 5v5 deathmatch tournament didn't have that great of a turnout.

    Development time is far better spent working on reasons not to be AFK instead. Encouraging a lack of activity is ultimately counter-productive and poor game design. This also has the potential to break characters and/or be prone to exploits - defeating the Elite Four doesn't mean that every area is unlocked and every script activated. I can safely say that this will not be happening.

    Thanks for the honesty. I've played this game for so long and so I know that I'm never going to blame my loss on RNG if I could have done something differently to avoid it. Looking back at my match and re-thinking each and every play one by one, I legit can't find any mistake so it's frustrating knowing that there's nothing I could have done about it. Relying on RNG to win is a part of the game but it should never be the initial game plan. So when someone gets it and other people start posting disrespectful shit like "EZ" , it can be annoying. I'm not aware of whether this happened during the game but I'm just speaking in general. Like Ari said, being humble and acknowledging that you had luck that favored you is all I can ask from you and so I really do appreciate it.

  26. and yet facts remain facts; enchanteur bested everyone he faced this season. The people claiming he is undeserving of the title are just jealy uguus. They say ZDFire or Zebra are more deserving because they won against better opponents than the ones enchanteur had to face, but they turn a blind eye at the fact that both Zebra and ZDFire lost once. If they were 6-0, I would totally agree that they deserve the title more than Enchanteur, but they are 6-1 and that should mean something.

  27. I was once posting a large ammount of garbage mudkip for $7999 (before jonulo's spam of around 60 pages of kip listed for $4k -_-) by using ctrl+v. For one mudkip when I clicked in the price box it didn't clear the $1000 as it usually does and instead moved my cursor to after the 1k. Ended up posting a shitty mudkip for $10,007,999. RIP 500k. There goes my GTL prophits for that week. Shoulda left it up as an expensive, shitty, meme.

  37. I highly suggest everyone that wants to get better at SM OU to try the official laddering tournament occurring right now. It is essentially laddering until you gain enough points to qualify for the tournament. It is extremely hard to reach this point, but you get to experience the full range of the metagame that is available on the ladder. This ranges from stall, hyper offense, veil offense, webs, gay shit, and then once in a blue moon, a balance team. Not but seriously, this is a fun tourney and event to participate in. It all takes place on main server showdown and smogon forums. If you don't make it this cycle, there is always more cycles. Sign ups: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogons-official-ladder-tournament-iv-cycle-3-signups.3612288/ Sample teams: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/olt-laddering-teams-from-1000-insert-number.3610784/ I'll probably be posting cool replays I have or my progress every cycle, gl to all participating.

    Right Clic --> Join Conga Line Requires 8 badges and have beaten elite 4. Joining the conga line teleports you to the end of the conga line, locks movement. The person in the front of the conga lines movements controls the entire line of ppl. Encounters cant be had as a member of the conga line. Only the front player can encounter mons. Everyone else in the conga line automatically specs any battle/encounter they enter. Reason: A new afk way to play. Pretty much it allows us to watch friends grind and stuff while coming along for the ride. Large conga lines could be made for fun to create a sort of dance.

  44. Gonna talk a bit about something I started to use recently on OU and really liked it: spdef Camerupt. Build: Nature - sassy EVs - 252 hp / 252 spdef Moves - yawn, protect, earthquake and flamethrower / fireblast But why? 1- It's ground type and electric inmumity makes it strong against jolteon. It is also good against venusaur if it doesn't carry earthquake due to it being able to take giga drains pretty well, having poison resist and strong fire stab to hit back. It's also strong against fire special attacker mons who don't have hp water and most minor special attackers. 2- It has nice atk and spatk even for a defensive mon while having strong stabs on both physical and special side. 3- Yawn + Protect is gay af. Cons: Venusaur can run earthquake and fire mons with hp water will one shot you. Also, no recover. Well, it lacks formatation, calcs and whatever because I am posting from my mobile phone, so that's all.
