In celebration of the coming holidays and the return of the server, I decided food is the name of the game.  So, the first handful of test battles... ^_^

Learning the new generation, one dessert at a time

I may have found someone whose hatred for fairies equals or exceeds my own.

I'd say the Megas learned a lesson about you. Why do you need Pokemon other than Konjac?

Other than critical hits, I mean.

Back in older gens, when the only thing that could take dragon moves were steel Pokemon, a common and viable tactic was to bring a Magnezone to deal with opposing steel types using its magnet pull ability, and then stack your teams with multiple dragons to clean up.

Some trainers would go so far as 4drag2mag, which was Magneton, Magnezone, and four dragons.

Also, I just realized this game existed. Might consider joining after the holiday if there is room. I've been doing some ladder play on showdown, so I am familiar.

Culise, your team kick asses. Shame I still didn't manage to come up with a good non-mono team. Clawitzer surely is a nice one, and thanks to sticky web, his speed problem is solved.(At most of occasions I guess)

So many tankers, I doubt my mono teams would stand a chance against that team.

Volcarona being a killing machine again, and again.

There were two more, but I couldn't share because the room expired.

As the main tournament is going torturously slow, I am proposing a small side battle.




I need 4 players who are interested.


The first 4 who call interest shall name 6 pokemon at random. Any tier, any evolution step, just at random.




These 24 pokemon will be placed in a pot. Then, each player will one after the other select one mon from the pot, in an order that should ensure some randomness:


1.From longest name to shortest.
2.From shortest name to longest.
3.From most posts to fewest posts.
4.From fewest posts to most posts.
5.From first post to last post (come first, call first)
6.From newest forum member to oldest forum member.


basicaly, you have no idea what you will be holding at the end.


my additions to the pot:




Lilligant
Slowbro
Arceus-Poison
Arcticuno
Munchlax
Magcargo

I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Can you change that font color? It's unreadable on the light forum colors without highlighting it.

Also the order of the last round is probably not right, but I'm ok with it because I get to go first :P

+1; also, spaces are a wonderful thing. Please add them.

That said...Rayquaza.
