20:26 <Mackie> what do you think of my newest idea?
20:27 <Bummer> oh hang on
20:28 <Bummer> no other gains guesses?
20:28 <Bummer> and have there been a discussion about this in the RU forum
20:28 <Mackie> there has been a discussion
20:29 <Mackie> but i feel like a speculationa article could be interesting
20:29 <Mackie> ill add more to it
20:30 <Mackie> that is just the general structure example
20:30 <Mackie> like im probably gonna add pangoro and gogoat
20:30 <Bummer> fair enough
20:31 <Bummer> this seems like a topic that requires the input from other RU people though
20:31 <Mackie> maybe even vulpix
20:31 <Mackie> ok
20:31 <Mackie> so wait for people like Oglemi to comment on it
20:32 <Bummer> well, that, and have them approve it before it moves on to GP
20:33 <Mackie> yeah
20:33 <Bummer> alright then

Seems okay to me. There's no hurry though, so I'll just leave this thread open for more replies.

yea this seems OK. Gogoat will almost definitely be NU, Pangoro though is probably a good pick for RU. Doublade too I think will be a good RU mon. Also I would mention some drops from UU that will be likely, stuff like Cresselia, Nidoqueen, Honchkrow, Scrafty, Mismagius, Krookodile, Gligar, etc. will all likely end up in RU again at some point.

IDK where Entei will end up now that it has Sacred Fire, I would mention that it now has a major advantage over Arcanine and will probably see at least some use in UU. Also remember that Aerodactyl, Aggron, and Manectric all have Mega Evolutions now too but idk where they'll end up.

 

[Mack the Knife]

OK, Oglemi I'll some add those in and get rid of Gogoat. Is there anything else that you'd like me too add?

 

[Oglemi]

Noivern may also be a good mon to talk about for RU as it'd create a nice balance with Druddigon. May also want to consider talking about Florges to counter said Noivern and likely Druddigon.

Otherwise this looks good.

So, is this approved Bummer?
