PokeOcalypse - {GAME COMPLETE}

[TierShift]

@bp: I totally thought it was mhork.

[DeathNote]

You're welcome for your point.

[Shiidaji]

It's looking like tomorrow night.

[PrivateI]

All right. Should work. If it's early.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Good luck to both of you!

[KingdomAces]

The move Swagger has been officially banned from OU.

If anyone was planning on using the move, then

we really dodged a bullet there

there is some grounds for argument because this happened midgame and this could have affected planning. Unless there is a specific argument, swagger is not allowed.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

el oh fucking el

[CuddlyCaucasian]

That was unexpected (to me at least, I'm a dumb)

[KingdomAces]

This is probably a good time to mention that Smogon is a community, not a machine. Because of this, and the fact that in the last suspect testing round there were quite a few people who tried to get the voting requrements using solely swagplay teams, pretty much everyone in it got annoyed by losing solely due to luck with next to no skill coming from the swagplayer's part.

I really haven't been paying too much attention, (I just noticed this today even though about a week has passed since) but I'm decently sure that a fair number of people only voted to ban it because of how stupid the strategy is, not that it was actually broken. Personally, I completely agree, so I'm not complaining.

[PrivateI]

Shii, I don't know if tonight will work. I have an unplanned practice that has come up, and some friends are going out. Tomorrow?

[orcinus_theoriginal]

This ban was silly though

If it was really and actually uncompetitive, why didnt they can it straight out of the game?

[Candillan]

See the only problem with the ban that I have is that Swagger has been in the game for so many generations at this point.
They could have banned the Swagger + Prankster combo? That would make sense to me, but oh well

[Mist7676]

As no one answered my question help.

[KingdomAces]

What question?

[Shiidaji]

Yes.

[Candillan]

What question?

I'd assume she is referring to "What even is Pokémon?"

[Shiidaji]

Just got home, free until late.

[Shiidaji]

Sleeping.

[PrivateI]

Argh, this is frustrating. Later today?

[CuddlyCaucasian]

The deadline has been reached, and PrivateI has forfeited the match in the event of that happening.

{ROUND 20}

In your final test of heroism, you all must traverse Victory Road. However, a simulation within forces all of you remaining few players to draw from your experiences in this near-apocalypse to create an apocalypse of your own - a PokeOcalypse, if you will. Pokemon distribution will occur in order of who has the least people living in their world to the most people remaining. The two people least successful in their PokeOcalypse will automatically enter an elimination battle. The following Pokemon are up for grabs.

Spoiler: Alphabetical List

Goodra
Haxorus
Metagross
Tyranitar
Volcarona

The simulation can be found here. You have

to submit a screenshot of your best score and your Pokemon list.

[JasonWazza]

OMG THAT GAME IS AWESOME.

[KingdomAces]

Good luck infecting Madagascar.

[JasonWazza]

Continuous restarting until virus starts in Madagascar?

Also can i say that, Greenland seems really retarded.

Down to 3000ish living people and THEN start to close shit.

[KingdomAces]

Beware that if you do that, there's still a half decent chance that you'll never get out of Madagascar.

[JasonWazza]

Good luck infecting Madagascar.

Actually, just now i hit Madagascar from starting in North Africa.
