So, if you're into competitive battling, you've probably heard of Pokemon Showdown. If not, it's a website where you can competitively battle either by importing teams from Pokemon Online or Shoddy or something like that or making your team right on the website and climb up that ladder! (if your team can actually beat things, of course... don't use Charizard, just don't. XD) It has all the different tiers, such as OU (Overused), UU (Underused), LU/RU (Littleused/Rarelyused), NU (Neverused), LC (Little Cup), Ubers, and a ton of others you might not have heard of before, like Challenge Cup (Woot! Air Balloon on all the flying types! XD JK, it's just randomized Pokes with randomized movesets and randomized items with their levels edited to make it more fair. For example... beat Steel Arceus with Caterpie, I am a boss.), Random Battle (same thing as CC, just with competitive movesets), Hackmons (my favorite tier... I'll leave a long thing later), and many more.
This thread is for discussing Pokemon Showdown, mainly your teams and getting tips for climbing up that ladder. The only metagame I'm really good at right now is hackmons... I'm like... #10 or #9 after a day of battling. :3 But I'm sure other people are great at OU or Ubers! (right?)
Just to get the people who don't know how to competitively battle started if they're interested, here's an awesome website for all the strategies and information you will ever need about Pokemon: Smogon (unless you prefer Bulbapedia, which is less competition-orientated, but essentially has the same information without the ranting about the particular assets of the move compared to others, the good Pokes who can use it, etc.). BTW, in order to register a username on Showdown, you need to win a rated battle first. This means build a team, click that 'Find a Battle' button, and win. If you need to secure that first win, here's an almost guaranteed win against another newbie in OU:
Cloyster (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Skill Link
EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Speed
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Shell Smash
- Icicle Spear
- Rock Blast
- Ice Shard
*Pretty simple Poke to understand, if you know what all the moves do. Shell Smash doubles your attack, speed, and special attack, and lowers your defense and sp. defense by one stage (essentially a third.). If you get Cloyster in before entry hazards on a Poke that can't hurt it, it's easy to set up two Shell Smashes and just sweep the whole other team, with the Focus Sash giving you a free turn of setup if Cloyster hasn't taken damage yet. The reason for this is because Skill Link allows it to hit five times with Icicle Spear and Rock Blast EVERY SINGLE TIME, therefore, giving it essentially two base 125 moves, one of which gets STAB. Ice Shard is for those Breloom who go "Mach Punch, checkmate!" Uh, no. TAKE AN ICE SHARD TO THE FACE. But be careful. Scizor, Jirachi, Heatran, and Mamoswine are good counters to this thing, so take those out first before unleashing this monster.*
Espeon (F) @ Salac Berry
Trait: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 Def/252 Sp. Atk/252 Speed
Timid Nature (+Speed/-Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Baton Pass
- Psyshock
- Signal Beam
*This Espeon is great for two things- stopping entry hazards with Magic Bounce, and passing on three stat boosts to a receiving Pokemon. (which, once upon a time, was Genesect before it was banned to Ubers. TT^TT) Now, the problem is getting Espeon to survive to the point where it gets the Salac Berry boost, so don't get greedy. X) Just Baton Pass right out of there, and watch out for Scizor with Bullet Punch/Pursuit. It can also attack by itself if necessary.*
Volcarona (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Flame Body
EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Speed
Timid Nature (+Speed/-Atk)
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power Ground
*This is my usual receiver for those boosts, since its essentially a pseudo Quiver Dance. You can use Quiver Dance another time if you want to (and can) to boost Volcarona's powers to awesome levels! Of course, please watch out for anything that might carry Stone Edge. And do not let this thing eat a Stealth Rock, just don't. (you have Espeon to stop that.) HP Ground is great for stopping threats like Terrakion and Heatran, but if Heatran's not a problem, go ahead and use Giga Drain.*
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/252 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def/-Atk)
- Wish
- Protect
- Thunder Wave
- Seismic Toss
*The bane of all special attackers lacking Secret Sword or Psyshock, behold Chansey, the murderous pink killer! It tanks almost everything, gets a Wish, and with its monstrous HP stat can heal everyone of your teammates back to full health. (just make sure that team mate isn't killed on the switch.) It can get that Wish for itself with Protect, and also stop a sweeper in its tracks with Thunder Wave. Seismic Toss is necessary to get damage on other tanks. This is your special wall. Use it well.*
Scizor (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Bug Bite
- Superpower
*Bulky Swords Dance Scizor... switch it into something that can't hurt Scizor, Swords Dance as they switch out, and then just pummel them with Bullet Punch and Bug Bite and Superpower! Watch out for fire-types, obviously, but the next teammate will be good for taking those Fire Blasts. ;3*
Heatran (F) @ Life Orb
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Speed
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Dragon Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power Grass
*This is another great receiver to Espeon's boosts, and would love to get a Flash Fire boost from people who want to launch a Fire Blast at Scizor. Use it right, and it'll net a ton of kills!
I think. XD IDK, this isn't the Heatran I usually use, but it should be just as good. ;3*Oh, and if you're interested in joining me in hackmons... ;D Wonder Guard Spiritomb anyone? No, like, seriously. XD It's surprising how many people lack a counter to it when they're so common... >.> (or Wonder Guard Jolteon + Air Balloon) Or my awesome sweeper, No Guard Deoxys-S with Sheer Cold. Oh, what is hackmons? Take any Poke, slap on any ability you want, any moves, and full EVs in any stats! Now you can have that Wonder Guard Spiritomb you've always dreamed of! Of course, the best strategies aren't the obvious ones, and creativity is key in this tier! Run wild! (just remember- typing and base stats are all that really matter anymore.)

Sometimes I feel like I just want to tell everybody so I can get it off my chest, y'know? But most of the time, I'm afraid of being judged. *sighs* And there's no specific reason to really tell everyone, but it bothers me for some reason.
And I hear a lot of offhand comments regarding sexuality that are said jokingly, and I often want to say something, but I suppose I might be taken too seriously. It's not exactly anything negative, to say, but it could be offending to some people.
Yeah, I know what you mean. X) (except for me, it's atheism in school when people are trying to use their faiths to prove a point... >.> Particularly regarding like- homosexuality and abortion in health class...) But I think we shouldn't be afraid of something like that. We have the right to be what we are- and no one should be able to judge us by what we are but by what we do. It bothers me too. X) It's okay to get it out there- but it's okay to be uncomfortable too. While it would be ideal if no one judged... the reality is, that people do judge. That people do make the stupidest and most bigoted judgments for silly reasons. Unless it's necessary, it's okay to not bring it up.
Oh Arceus, I hate when that happens. <.< Like the use of the word 'fag.' Or when people insult things as 'gay' and people who aren't even gay are made fun of with the word 'gay', which is meant as an insult, and it drives me FREAKING INSANE. Seriously? When will people get that 'fag' is as bad as (excuse my language) 'nigger' and that being gay is as much as an insult as saying someone is black or Asian- and that saying someone is what they aren't is degrading. TREATING PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED, IS THAT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE? And then people think you're being stupid when you make such a big deal out of it... >.> (well, not really, no one would call me stupid but my friends. XD They might think I'm crazy though, but I don't mind that... I like being thought of as crazy.) This is a new movement! This is the right side of history, join or be left behind! It's not so much as forcing people to accept it as making them understand it. There is nothing wrong with being gay, and there is no reason whatsoever to strip away peoples' rights for being gay (in like, 20+ states, it's perfectly legal to fire people for being gay. I believe this deserves a WTH?) and THERE IS NOTHING IMMORAL ABOUT IT. If it's offensive to other people... well... I'm not the best person to go to for this, because I often don't care if I insult others in matters like this. >.> <.< (which is kind of bad, because I get really emotional and tend to anger a lot of people. XD) I don't think there should be anything wrong with stating your opinion though- if it was offensive to you, you have the right to tell people that you were offended and why.

Hmm... wish I saw this like a week ago. XD (since I ended up not being able to do YinDragon's due to me not starting my Nuzlocke yet. >.>) Oh well! Hope everyone gets what they want and good luck to the present makers! (because time is short when you're having fun...)
-
Are you use a program to draw it?
Yeah, Paint Tool SAI. XD I don't do traditional art.... =w= except in my school notebooks.
Oooh~ Cool! *is now in love with the moon*
XD The moon took the least time... draw a crappy circle, hit magic wand, fill it in with pale yellow, and use the crayon to add a few dots. X)
-
Good Drawing! (She wields a MAC-10 or not?)
that awkward moment when people call Silver a girl-he's a guy. XD
It's supposed to be Kaitou Kid's card gun.... I rushed it though, so it's too hard to tell. XD
-
Oh, hey, haven't been here in like- months. XD Just back because I drew Silver from PokeSpe as KID... =w= Ultra-rushed because I had one day to finish it for a contest, but good enough. XD
-
*Looks like you guys didn't finish it after all. :/ I've been busy with real life (AP CHEMISTRY I'M GOING TO FREAKING-) and was hoping that this would wrap itself up while I was away... but... I guess not. And there's not much other way to end it but this. So, sorry, but I'm blowing up the building.
*Aeyra slowly blinked open her heavy eyelids. The tranquilizer was enough to knock her down- she had no idea how long she'd been out, but that didn't change her duty. The mission had failed. The sentence...? Well, that was what the switch in her pocket was for.
With a smile, she took it out, carefully placing her thumb on the very center of the small red button. This was the price to pay for failure- this was how to keep it all from spiraling even further out of control. "Good night," she whispered, as if she were only going to sleep, and pressed down with no hesitation. The world around her wrenched apart in flames.
*Now lock the topic. XD I wish people finished it, but... this is what you're stuck with now. :/*
-
(Five more days... because you guys still seem to be on a climax.... and I don't want to be harsh in cutting you guys off. :/ But in five days, if this is not finished, I really am going to just end it by blowing everything up because that's the simplest way to do it. And you guys don't want that, so keep on writing. I know a lot of you are in Round 4, but please, make this your priority...)
-
(Guys... please try to finish soon... You have like- five hours.)
-
(you guys have seven more hours! I can't lock the topic, but if it's not finished by midnight, I'll probably be forced to end it by randomly blowing everything up, just saying. XD So don't let that happen!)
-
[This sounds very fun!
Though... did you have to make it start on my birthday and about a murder that occurs on a birthday? Now I feel great. :V (especially seeing I have a Euro test and a cross country meet on my birthday. XD) JK, JK, I'll try my best to get in and participate!)] -
(Looking good! Last 'official' day guys! I won't be interfering anymore- it's your story to finish! I'll only finish it if you guys aren't done by Oct. 2nd.)
-
(Just a reminder, you guys have to end this by TOMORROW! (the latest I'll give is Oct. 2nd... because I don't feel like modding on my birthday the next day. XD))
-
(sorry I haven't been around to mod for a few days, math competition and the site seemed to be down yesterday when I was on. :/ Now as a reminder, you guys have five more days to wrap this up. For now, I don't want extensions. X) That just gives an excuse for it to trail on forever... but I will give it if it's really needed. Now to screw everything up.)
"It's time for you to go," said the man as Aeyra finished putting on her jacket, pulling her hair up into a low ponytail. There was a determined look on her face, because now the plan was entering the final phase and it was all dependent on her to carry it out right. "We're right outside of the hotel right now."
"Be careful- I think there are people sniping from the hotel," she warned, making him pull up behind a wall a few hundred feet away. "Do I get any protection?"
"They'll know it's you," he said simply. It would be enough. "Now carry it all out."
"I will." And with that, she ran off towards the hotel, hoping she would be able to carry out the duty she'd been assigned.
(now let's see what happens. >:3 And as always, I'm purposely very, very vague, and the first person to use this in their part basically decides how to interpret it. X) Have fun! And please try to bring it to a conclusion soon!)
-
(Sorry, I'm at a math competition right now and I'll probably have internet issues for the next two days. ^^" I'm pretty sure you can all manage without me though! I think the plot is interesting enough without me ruining it every two days.)
-
*Okay! Time for me to screw everything up! Not really, but it's my job. :V*
"Looks like there's trouble coming up at the Kurosawa Hotel..." noted the man next to Aeyra, a tinge of worry in his voice. "With that mob in there, they're going to ruin everything. We need to either get everyone else out, or simply eliminate those pesky guys."
"Which one is easier?" she asked nervously. She didn't really know much about fighting- only pre-planned events were able to function well in her mind. And this was ruining the plan. "You have to do one or the other somehow."
"Then I'm sending in our people. They'll storm the building. It should only take a few minutes for them to get there."
(and now it's your choice to decide what's going to happen with the soldiers. :3)
-
(Hey! Everything looks good right now, and it seems you guys are building up to something yourselves. I'll add something to throw you all off after you guys seem to reach what you're aiming for!
I don't want to completely ruin whatever plans you have. X3) -
(It's looking fine right now, albeit a bit confusing. I'll give you guys something else to do since I have time. Time to screw things up! >:3)
"So... what clue should we leave for them today?" asked Aeyra, looking merely bored as she stared at the carnage on the screen. A month ago, she would have flinched away, but she knew better now. After all, this was all for the greater good. "First we had the website, though, that was only the beginning."
"We'll let someone else out," the man informed her, twirling around a pen in his hands. He too looked casual, as if the explosion had nothing to do with him, as if it were just some movie playing out in front of him. "Misaki."
"You're letting her join us?" Aeyra's voice was surprised as she stared at him. "I don't think that's the smartest-"
"No, I'm not going to. I'm going to send her over there... and she'll have all the information we need to give to them."
(Sorry for doing that to you, Misaki, but you can do whatever you want from here! Also, good to see you here, Rye.)
-
(Whoops... X) That's what happens when you try to do fifty things at once. Just consider it by the end of September, AKA the 30th.)
-
(Good job so far! I have nothing to type right now, because homework is a killer and you guys are doing just fine. :3 Keep up the good work!)
-
"How close are they?" asked Aeyra curiously to her kidnapper. She didn't really consider him that anymore, seeing that she wasn't being held captive as much as being made a comrade, but it didn't change the fact that he had yanked her from home at midnight and stuffed her in some van and held her in a prison for about a week. "Are you going to use that now?"
"Perhaps," he answered, smirking. "After all, that will stir up quite a fun commotion, don't you think?" He pressed a small red button, and the sound of a distant explosion filled the air.
*******************
(Use your imagination folks. X) Sorry it's lame and short for twister... I have a chapter test for AP Euro tomorrow and a bunch of homework.)
-
(Personally, I'm not too eager with all this FBI stuff (because it's DCW IRL... and I thought it was supposed to stay within realistic limits... woops for me.) and I have no idea what the previous storyline is so I, for one, am extremely confused with all your references. If possible, please try to separate future posts from the previous storyline. I am pretty sure I said that in my last post, but nobody seemed to see it. :/ I don't want to have to bring down my fist, but please try to use your own judgment to what's reasonable and what's not. I personally don't like all of these secret agencies- that's what kind of led the first DCW IRL group to its doom. Too many NPCs, too many groups, and just too much confusion. It's better to keep it so there is only one group and everyone is not trying to come up with some secret Deux ex machina. I don't have time to type up something to mess you up right now, but I will give a deadline. Let's try and finish this by Sept. 30th, okay?
That's about twenty more days!) -
(Just to let you all know, I completely lost track of the second DCW round and have almost no idea what all you guys are referring back to. :3 I don't need you all to rewrite everything, but it would probably be better for everyone in terms of understanding the plot if we just started this anew without referring back to the old plot, okay? Just read IU's post a few above mine: that's what I hope you guys will be doing. Not everyone was in the last DCW IRL round and they have no idea what you guys are talking about. (AKA me. *cough*
) Now for me to mess things up a little. You guys can do whatever to my character- I'm not actually participating. X) Just don't kill her, okay? Because then I'll have to control one of you. And I'm sure none of you want that. XD)**********************************************************************
"Someone would think they were smarter than that," said one of the kidnappers, smiling. Next to him lay a girl lounging on a couch, stretching and getting herself comfortable. "You made a smart choice, Aeyra."
"Of course I did," the girl said smugly, laughing. "Do you think I have a death wish or something? And after all, I think this mission is important. Everyone we need is about to start their hunt for me... And I'll lead them right into this trap."
**********************************************************************
(BTW, I'm always very vague because I don't want to be writing the storyline- whoever gets here first technically can interpret it any way they can. Just be reasonable- obviously, none of you heard it. (well... maybe Misaki did.) But some of you could suspect that something fishy is going on... After all, who actually has time to create a website when they're on the run?
) -
(Okay! Everything seems to be running smoothly so far, but I'd like to repeat what I've added in in my first post (didn't make a post out of it earlier because of school.
). If anyone would be willing to give up their spot so someone new has a chance to play, please make an effort to do so. (AKA Tell me.) Other than that, please continue to write! ;D)
What type of girls\guys do you like?

Someone cheerful, funny, and can bring my mood up. :3 They should be accepting and like me for who I am, and love my flaws, and I should be able to love them for the same things as well.
