So I've played competitive pokemon for over 3 months now. Things I've learned so far is VGC is everything goes except for event mons, and Smogon is a carefully curated Tier listing which provides "fair" pokemon battles.
I'd like to get /vp/'s Thoughts on Smogon and VGC, why Smogon is hated by a crowd of VGC players and generally what started this hate for smogon?
PS, I'm a competitive Magic: The Gathering player clocking at close to 10 years worth of experience, and I have to say, the way smogon determines their banlist is rather exceptional.
Again, outside of a few shitters who couldn't battle their way out of a mexican kindergarten's cock fighting ring, most high level smogon and vgc players play both.
You'll only see this dumb rivalry here where baddies from both groups try to speak for the groups.

I've been bouncing back and forth of both right now, helping some friends with the International Challenge at the moment and playing OU singles casually with friends.
The only problem I have so far are personal ones, the ones not dictated by both sides. I breed pokemons for OU tier battles and end up using them in VGC which can be a blood bath against your pokes if you've done that before.
That said, I'd also like to know how do i initiate a smogon rules match outside of Showdown atm?

From my experience, 3/5 people doing 6v6 on cart will assume you are operating on smogon ruleset.
Other than that, it's just agreeing with someone beforehand.

Think of a random Pokemon. Got it? Good.Now come up with a psuedo-philosophical dissertation about why you hate that Pokemon's design, its character, its relation to the community or the game, etc., or all of the above.
You have to draw it out as much as possible, and use as much pretentious vocabulary and advanced literary/philosophical/artistic terms as possible. Also be sure to make as many petty, unreasonable, misapplied, specious, fallacious, and overall autistic claims and arguments as well. Rants that span multiple posts are welcome.

How do you feel about injecting? Do feel it's justified? Why or why not?
>>26828082
I don't care either way
I just hate people with obviously injected full shiny teams, like, try to make it a little less obvious
>>26828082
As long as you're not giving a hitmonchan something like v-create you're fine, really.
If you're going to complain about about spending hours breeding that's your fault, injecting is very accessible.
What's the point of pokemon if you're just going to click and create one with perfect everything? Go play Showdown if you want that.
Asking as someone who likes Medicham as a pokemon and is developing an interest for hindu culutre and mythology, is Medicham an insensitive caricature like Jynx?
Are Indians considered niggers, or only Pakis ?
>>26827994
If by that you mean being stereotypically portrayed with big lips, I don't know.
Medichamps lips could be just for balance of color.
who cares?
Can we have a thread about this awesome bug?
>>26827371
Off of what bug is this based?
Genuinely curious.
>>26827371
I don't see why not, what's your favorite thing about the little dude?
>>26827864
"Bug" is a bit of a stretch: it's a slime mold in a rock.

Alright guys, let's all vote. I'm sure we all want to see which version and which Pokémon will be most abundant.

Ooh. Nice catch, OP. I would say that slot is for something else, but it wouldn't make sense, if it's particularly for moves.
Inject - Shitpost - Circlejerk - Hangout
This thread is for Hacks and/or Clones. Come in and get free stuff!
Try to keep requests simple, don't ask for a thousand Pokemon at once. Injectors can only work so fast.
Keep Injections, hacks, clones, etc. in this thread please.
>Is this thread legit or not?
It is very legit. People will post here to try to tell you otherwise. Ignore them.
>B-BUT YOU’RE CHEATING THIS ISN’T RIGHT
Yes all of us here are aware that this is cheating...

I think these threads are pretty obselete now. I mean, who doesnt inject pokemon already?

OLD Bread and a few things to add because OP almost exceeds the words
>use the showdown team builder for all requests
>DON'T USE EARLY ROUTE MONS FOR YOUR DROP OFF. Use a mid form or a breeding leftover of a starter,non region mon. Best are actually mid forms because people don't drop those off too often
>Always request level 91 or higher or you will get picked up

The thread is for request mainly, and the injectors who help are good at their jobs.Plus we get scorned off every other thread
