Blame Super Sentai then...

If anything's Digimon's version is more believable since, digital world and all, data reprogramming yadda yadda, digimon being the human's avatars, etc etc... Pokemon on the other hand, its only explanation is either mystical powers, reincarnation, or... freak teleportation accidents. Which do you think is more applicable to the real world?

So I have to die in order to become a Clefairy and wait for a 10-year old boy from Palette Town to ressurect me?

So when Pokemon does it, it's okay?

I'd move those posts to the shit thread, except you already did all the work for me by posting them directly here...

Also don't add random numbers next to the characters for the sake of getting the character on the list faster, you're not fooling anyone.

Alright, so CotM didn't go so well last time so we'll try again. This time around, the requirement to include a description explaining your reasoning has been abolished, as I feel this dissuaded people from participating last time. This requirement was originally introduced as a form of quality control, to ensure that nominations were well thought out and that characters who actually deserved a chance to be called CotM were the ones that were nominated. In the interests of quality control, however, we are implementing two new stipulations; the number of characters you can nominate has been reduced from 5 to 4, and there is now an appeal process for rejecting candidacy, which is explained in the rules below. The Character of the Month selection will be done in two phases: Nominations and Voting Nominations & Voting Rules You may nominate up to 4 characters per month. You may only nominate a character that was released and/or updated during the given month. You cannot nominate characters that have previously won Character of the Month. Be specific as to which character you are nominating; include both the name and the author name and, if applicable, the release thread of the character. To make things easier, we suggest that you append the number of nominations that the character has, including your own, when you make your nominations. Characters that have been nominated by at least 4 different people will become candidates for voting. Candidates for voting cannot be nominated any more (as there is no real purpose to this) Voting begins 15 days after the nomination period began, or once 20 characters have been nominated as candidates. The voting period lasts for 15 days. The winner will be announced at the end of this period. During this time, you will be permitted to vote for as many of the candidates as you want, but we strongly urge you to vote only for those characters that you actually want to see as CotM. You may choose to nominate a candidacy rejection. Candidacy rejections can only be done on characters that have obtained at least 4 nominations for CotM. When nominating a candidacy rejection, you MUST list the reason(s) why you believe that the character should not be in the list of candidates. Note that if we, the staff of MFFA, feel that your reason for candidacy rejection is not adequate enough, we have the right to reject your nomination for candidacy rejection. At least four (4) valid nominations for candidacy rejection are required for a character to be removed from the list of candidates. You can only make one nomination for candidacy rejection per month, which also counts towards your 4 nomination limit. No collusion of any kind. If we find out that anyone has conspired with other users to nominate characters for the sole purpose of preventing another character from being nominated as a candidate by flooding the list of candidates until it reaches maximum capacity, those nominations will be null and void and all parties involved will be banned from participating in future CotM. That being said, May 2015 Nominations will end on June 15th, 2015.

Just finished the calculations for Doubles Ubers stats for the past two months; The following Pokemon now allowed in Doubles UUbers: The following Pokemon are now banned from Doubles UUbers:

It was banned, hence the removal. Discussion on Lando-I's ban is best suited for the Tiering thread

Removed from the Singles OU viability rankings in light of the results of its recent suspect test.

Smogon's suspect test for Landorus-Incarnate is over; Please make note that Landorus's other forme, Landorus-Therian () is not affected by this suspect test and remains unbanned in Singles OU. Only Landorus's Incarnate forme is banned. Also this may be a bit late, but Pokemon Online has also banned Landorus-Incarnate a few weeks ago.

Smogon's use statistics for Singles Ubers is now out. Using the past two months as reference, with the most recent month being weighted at 20/23 and the month before being weighed at 3/23, we have the following 2-month use statistics for Singles UUbers; Effective immediately, Scolipede is now part of the Singles UUbers banlist.

Eirin updated. Changelog in first post.

Hope you dont mind me cleaning up the first post a bit ;p Also, I moved Mugen-Infantry down to the ghost/inactive section since their forums have been down for a long LONG time.

Doing a bit more theorymoning here, but taking a second look at Reshiram for a minute. One thing I overlooked were its 100/100/120 defensive stats. If we compare this to the only other Dragon/Fire type, Mega Charizard X, who has 78/111/85 defensive base stats, you can tell that Reshiram also has some bulk behind it, allowing it to run a defensive set rather than an offensive set. Mega Charizard X also has the ability to run either offensive or defensive, but unlike Reshiram, using it consumes your Mega Slot, so running Reshiram on stall teams allows you to reserve your Mega Slot for another defensive Pokemon such as Mega Venusaur. Singles UUbers Moveset: Defensive Ability: Turboblaze / Item: @Leftovers Nature: Modest w/ EVs: 248 HP / 124 Sp.Defense / 130 Speed Move #1: Blue Flare or Fusion Flare Move #2: Dragon Pulse or Draco Meteor Move #3: Will-o-Wisp Move #4: Roost The given EV spread listed above allows Reshiram to reach the same speed tiers as standard defensive Mega Charizard X, but with better special bulk while the higher HP makes up for the lower physical Defensive. Aside from not costing the Mega Slot, Defensive Reshiram has several notable advantages over Mega Charizard X, the most prominent being the ability to hold Leftovers, which gives it passive recovery. The other notable difference is Turboblaze, which prevents Reshiram from being stopped cold by Heatran. Unlike Mega Charizard X, who must either drop one of its STAB options to run Earthquake or rely on a teammate, Turboblaze negates Heatran's Flash Fire. For reference, the above EV spread allows Reshiram's Blue Fire to 2HKO specially defensive Heatran 12.5% of the time after Stealth Rock damage, these EVs can easily be adjusted to guarantee the 2HKO if needed, while offensive Heatran sets are always 2HKOed. Unlike Mega Charizard X, however, defensive Reshiram can't muscle past Chansey, so it will require support in that regard.

After some discussion with a few interested people on Skype, I've decided to expand this into Doubles as well. As a result, this will be less of a tournament and moreso its own little metagame/league/etc whatever you want to call it. With that I bring you...

^ one of the few reasons why I love South Park. That and that one time they had a counter in the corner of the screen that increased every time someone said the word "shit", and the episode title was appropriately named as well...

What he meant to say was stop necrobumping the thread unless you're announcing that the character was updated. Locking until further notice (PM me or another mod to reopen the thread if you have something to contribute).

"deskdung.png" That filename sounds horribly awkward when taken out of context...

I know this is kinda late but did anyone else make notice of the fact that Bison's inclusion in SF5 just so happened to be revealed on a tuesday?
