The tournament is canceled, so
かたわれ時 you can tell
737373elj to skip the battle.
Scoopapa I am going to ensure your work counts for something, and pass all winners to Gen 8.
We don’t have to worry about Megas, or Z-Moves.
To keep the metagame balanced and scaled for quality over quantity; we will host Rebalance slates 1x every 4 slates, so it gives time for coding, and makes a realistic purpose for the metagame. Rebalances on all items, abilities, and moves will only serve to be quality clones of current (Gen 1-8) original mechanics, or past winner mechanics. (Like creating a +Def version of Assault Vest into say Assault Armor - my MBH throwback idea).
The idea of 700 BST seems like a good aim, especially as Gen 8 Pokemon seem to have a better sense of good stats (high Spe + Offense), high Defense + Good HP.
Also, I respect the fact we are playing with an ever-evolving power creep, where what oftentimes were once signature exclusive moves are becoming more and more standard, and widely distributed.
The new abilities will be something we can consider as well, and our goal will be to limit coding complications and limit all customizations to clones only, of current abilities, items, moves of Gen 7 winners, and original Gen 1-8 mechanics.
I want to wait for the metagame to settle as established first.
Afterall, we don’t know what will constitute Ubers as a tier, let alone Untiered. Many of our Pokemon in Untiered can change to a new tier in the generation, plus it will give myself and
Scoopapa a necessary, and deserved break.
As far as I am concerned,
Scoopapa is my sole Co-Leader,
SteelixPrismGX is still Council, and if
Jamis361 returns, he can let me know if he wishes to regain his Co-Leader status, as I promised him I will never remove him, his place doesn’t disappear unless he announces he is stepping down. However, I will say due to his school, he is inactive, so view
Scoopapa and I as the actual Co-Leaders.
We will begin our first slate in December, as we cannot put together a viability ranking, a role Compendum, and anything else until the overall metagame itself has settled (I.e. Banlists on items, moves, abilities, Pokemon - as Rayquaza-Mega was banned from Ubers in... I cannot believe I am saying this... last Generation — Gen 7).
I will announce, and we also have to consider Pokemon Showdown’s simulation battle system getting an update for everything, the new thread in due time.
For now, enjoy a break, and honestly; I appreciate everyone’s continuous work, effort, and legacy in creating a unique; and powerful, worthy metagame. I support this idea. But will be making some changes in the new thread.
For now, let us enjoy Thanksgiving, without having to give a “cluck!“ about the next slate.
As for me, I am proud of winning 15/16 voting slates (2 rebalance slate votes, and 13/14 new submission slate votes). I am very happy your all see my individuality and unique niche to make obscure and neat new introductions to ideas left largely unexplored, such as Gravity, and Wonder Room.
I am going to have a return in December 6. As November 28-December 1 is Thanksgiving weekend, where people eat, and then shop, literally - all day long.
Plus many of us who ordered the game will want to actually play it before we dissect only the best Pokemon movesets, teammates, etc. It sort of takes away the fun if you have it all figured out in just 2 weeks, so I am giving us all 3 weeks from today so we don’t feel all of the spoilers and Etc. Changes are too much at once.
To Gen 8, let’s wait. To Gen 7, due to leaks, it was officially done as of November 11. Hey... that Mr. Rimes!
