darkrai movie is on cartoon network if anyone is interested. Came on at 7 EST.

I’m watching it now. Darkrai is ruining everyone’s shit. It’s just too bad they’re going to beat him by making him feel bad and then going to his living room to cry and eat a quart of chocolate Hagen-Daas.

And silly Captain Tenneal! Hyper Beam doesn’t work on ghost type pokemon!

[Ephidel]

Lol that movie is already on over here. But I’m gonna miss it (work) ;(

[System_1]

OH SHIT! FUCKING EMPOLEON, TORTERRA, INFERNAPE, RHYDON, CROBAT, BIBARREL AND LICKILICKY ALL GOT THEIR SHIT RUINED! Holy shit, they made Darkrai a fucking beast. He’s gonna fucking rape all their shit.

Edit: and then OH SHIT! Fucking Dialga and Palkia are just fucking ruining the entire city! No fucking way is Darkrai gonna put up with this shit. Oh man, and those bitches are fucking sending everyone into other dimensions? What a bunch of fucking tools.

[irioku]

They’re making Palkia out to be a bitch. Dialga is fucking owning him. Dakrai took a hit from both at the same time and still got up. Ballin’ Darkrai seems like he’s about to get pissed off and go super saiyan or some shit.

oh shit, he did.

Oh fuck darkrai was just like “oh fuck no!” and totally ate both of their attacks and shit it out and fucking blew up the universe. No fucking way is Darkrai taking this shit. But yeah, Dialga’s just ruining Palkia’s shit. I want fucking Mewtwo to just show up and ruin all their shit though.

[System_1]

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! What kind of bullshit is this? Darkrai fucking disintegrated into purple glitter! Shoulda hyper potion’d that shit. But yeah, Palkia’s a serious bitch. His shoulder ball is all cracking and shit. I’m just waiting for Ash to start raping whatsherface, though.

And what the fuck is with this Pachirisu thunderbolt shit? Fucking 45 base SPATK?! Couldn’t even give me the power to run my computer that I’m using to make this post with that weak shit.

[white_shadow]

it was not close!!! 4 very defensive guys and moltres against blissey and poliwrath scraps…please.

You had a Moltres and Articuno, both x4 weak against rock, Articuno could barely survive and Moltres would be OHKO’d. Heatran was low on PP and would be OHKO’d by a STAB Focus Punch. Not saying I could pull a Yugi but my attempt was to try.

I already stated that I should’ve Ran, (esp. if I was near my comp to read your post) and apologized, but hindsight is 20/20.

set up what?? a substitute on poliwrath? he barely even had enough hp to make a substitute! and 4 of my pokemon had enough defense to take him out, so they were NOT weak to him! not to mention 3 of them had pressure and you were almost out or out of PP on rock slide already which wasn’t even doing good damage! you didn’t even have enough pp to finish me between almost dead poliwrath and no moves blissey…

I had more than enough HP for a Sub . And I had 10 PP for Rockslide (5 PP), which was enough imo.

These examples all seem pretty simple to me.

My point is, if we have a general consensus people won’t quit matches, since they feel an act of god warrants them to turn off the game because of clausing.

Effect Spore and other things like it: This obviously cant be regulated, its pure chance. The way sleep clause was explained to me that I think makes sense is you can’t put 2+ pokemon to sleep by using a sleep inducnig MOVE. That doesn’t apply to effect spore. Nor does it NEED to be regulated, as it can easily be attributed to bad luck (just like a freeze, crit hit, etc). This isnt game breaking as a whole. Purposely putting every pokemon to sleep is game breaking, and THATS why its regulated.

Case in point.

Ice beam/Blizzard freezes: This is just obvious. There’s nothing that can be done with this, so obviously there’s nothing that should be tried or even talked about. Freeze clause does NOT apply to wifi games, ive never seen anybody even mention it as a rule when playing over wifi because it’s obviously impossible and not even worth talking about.

Had opponents end communication because more than one of their pokes were Frozen which is why I brought it up. Obviously nothing can control this (hence the parentheses), I’m just stating factors.

using sleep moves solely as PP wasters: sleep moves have a high tendency to put a pokemon to sleep. So no, i dont think theyre legit “PP wasters” in a sleep clause game. Just don’t rely on this strategy.

Been done on logs, not saying it should be an abused strategy but still.

Having multiple rest talkers on one team: What? I don’t see that has to do with ANYTHING. I’ve never heard of anyone using a rule to limit your number of rest/talkers. If you want to have 6 rest talkers, thats a legitimate strategy. Sleep clause specifically says that self-induced sleep does not count. Sleep clause is a rule to nerf the game breaking fast sleep. NOT to nerf rest talkers, which are not game breaking…

You completely missed my point, but that’s my fault since wasn’t being clear.

The idea is that they have 2 or more Pokemon who are Rest/Talking and you put one to sleep, you use a Sleep move on the turn they are about to wake up on and instead they decide to switch, effectively causing a Sleep Clause.

This is a concern because players sometimes Sleep status Rest-Talkers on the waking turn, so they can take advantage of the 1/3 random move chance. On Netbattle/Shoddy you can do it and if they switch the next pokemon will automatically wake up.

Using Sleeping moves to stall on an already statused opponent who has remained unswitched for over 10 minutes.: If you can’t kill a pokemon in 10 minutes and your only choice to save your PP is to try and sleep them, you are fighting a LOSING battle. You should either switch your pokemon or concede the game because 10 minutes should be enough time to kill them if you’re capable of it. Now if you’re both just stalling by using REGULAR moves, thats different, because then its a PP war. But if you have to resort to breaking sleep clause, you already lost the PP war.

Au contraire. If you’ve ever fought in a CM Mismagius v. Blissey fight you’d know. I once had Blissey to wall Magius (which was a bad idea but Blissey was my only special wall.) I had a in-the-red wounded sweeper that would die if I switched in and mispredicted, in which I almost switched in and died. I tried to counter Magius by hoping for a CH Special attack but to no avail, so I used Sing and my other attacks to stall. Eventually my Blissey died and I was able to get my sweeper in and kill Maguis and his other wounded poke. Although lengthy, deliberately sacrificing Blissey to secure a victory was worth it. I’m just glad Mismagius decided to use W~O~W instead of Taunt.

Speaking of clauses, how many of you guys have PBR?

[Magnifico]

Heh, the one that has me stumped is encore and they use hypnosis. if someone else gets put to sleep, whos fault is it??
