Nah, that kinda goes against the spirit of randoms
I did what I could with what I was given, balanced or not.
I'm fine with taking the loss, no big deal

RNG is a fickle beast, yo
Gotta respect it, even when it kicks you in the face.

This is understandable for the pure random battles (I took one or two silly RNG losses) but when you make your own team? no way man. Do the rematches!

We and Minna had our matches. I managed to be awake enough to do them. Was my head in the clouds too much, or did I manage to come down to earth enough to win...?

Match 1

1-0


Match 2

2-0


Match 3

2-1



Good games, Minna.

Add Lum Berry Haxorus to that OP list. I also can't believe that Unown actually did something there.... That wasn't a terrible rain team, really.

Continual pokermon thoughts: Limiting the mons from PU tier to UU tier, thus removing BL and OU mons from getting picked.

I had been thinking about this a lot, and there are definitely quite a few mons that are just too good and are basically "always pick mons" and it just seems unfair to the lower tiers if I don't do something about that. :P

You could use the same level balancing system like in scripted random battles. With that you could even include Ubers at level 69 iirc

I tried that but the problem is from my research there's multiple movesets per mon and as such multiple levels per mon so I've had difficulty finding a "level" for each mon/tier.

i mostly agree with the limitation of ou mons

pros
ou mons are noticibly more powerful than the lower tiers, with their only real counters being other ou mons. tiers like ru and nu aren't seperated by a lot, and can hold their own in any of the lower tiers, but taking them into ou and suddenly they're drastically underpowered
also the redraw system would mostly favour the players just swapping out any non-ou mons in hopes of getting ou ones, despite different pokemon still being useful
cons
a LOT of lower tier pokemon rely on slower, stallier tactics, so it might promote a lot more long games as two walls bump into each other for half an hour

some of the pokemon in the banlist are really cute and getting banned might make them sad :c

I think a lot of people tend to underestimate a lot of lower tier mons. There are a LOT of mons that will absolutely never see use, not because they're bad, but just because there's something that performs that role better. That doesn't mean those mons can't perform those roles, or are completely unusable by comparison, just that there's an alternative that will perform better in the vast majority of cases. I've used plenty of mons from all kinds of tiers in OU to good effect- they're just not as universal or may have slightly better alternatives is all.

What if only some of the OU/BL mons were eliminated from being played, maybe due to being too good on their own? I'm still fully open to just not removing any of them but maybe there are some mons that are a tad too strong. (Will be continuing this via PM so as not to flood this thread)

Look, man, I don't even care that I lost. I'm still laughing so hard at how that last round went.
(Actual comments include things like that was fun, I love Sticky Web and am not mad that I lost to it, and man, wish I had done that with Scrafty a round earlier, but oh well.)
