Regarding our selection process

[twcopal]

Honestly, today being the 15th pokemon annaversarry, they should do pikachu, the 15 yr old "mascot of pokemon"

[garchompkid]

i mean other gimick pokemon

[Reno]

can you all shut up?

this isn't a REQUEST THE POTW thread.

it was made to say why 5th gen pokemon weren't being done.

[metafruit]

I think that pre evolutions should be included to if people write them. They don't need to be a Pokémon of the day, but they can still be added to the list of previous Pokémon of the day.

Examples: and

a couple of my favorite because of the shiny pichu.

We should do to Pokémon of the Week(?) twice each week, if you can understand what I am saying.
Most of the sets that are in the actual summary are posted within the first 3 days, so having on out on Monday, and one out on Thursday would work. But then you would have to change the title to something else.

He has just to put the plural to the title.
Anyways, stop asking about some 5th Gen Pokès, next will surely be Emboar and Samurott, and maybe Stoutland, just to not spoil all the new Pokès.
At a certain point, they will surely start to make new and old Pokès, don't worry.
That's my view point.

if this is about why you aren't doing gen v pokemon then you should close it as you are.

We have pre-evos listed when they're viable

[TheAwesomeOne]

Well, I think that after we do the starters, we should just go straight into the Random Number Generator since the game comes out next week.

[TheAwesomeOne]

I know, fascinating.

And I wasn't aware when Black and White were going to be released.

Pokemon of the WEEK.

Not day.


Though Raichu with Pikachu in the pre-evo corner would be cool. Start praying to the Random Number God Generator.

So when are we going into the RNG?

[Fox Reeveheart]

I been looking at PotW for a few years now, but I would like to see some pokemon that never got any attention from the 4th gen PotW

An example...ummm.. Gastrodon. Not any sort of preference, infact I've never had a gastrodon ever. I noticed he doesn't have a PotW article, so how about one for this guy? And i'm sure there are others that never got the chance as well.

Ones which weren't done, or were done but long before Platinum tutors, have a higher priority in the RNG

[Mr. Marowak]

^^That makes sense. Just a question, does that include Marowak (2007) and/or Venusaur (3rd Gen, ~2004)?

[Krookodile]

I think this is a good dusknoir
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Toxic
Protect
Hex/Shadow punch
Pain split/Will-o-wisp/Brick break
It uses toxic and protects so toxic does damage and it restores HP plus, when the other pokemon attacks, pressure will take away extra PP, hex works well with toxic but shadow punch works with high attack. Pain split restores even more HP, will-o-wisp works for poison or steel types, and brick break combined with the ghost move isn't resisted by anything

[metafruit]

Even if the prevolutions wont be featured as a Pokemon of the week I still would like to have a separate competitive battling page for them.

Also we need a thread for these prevolutions so they can be made. I suggest that these are more choice Pokemon as they don't need to be staggered like the Pokemon of the week Pokemon.

I plan on writing up all the information for Vulpix, I will probably post it within a month.

[xDarkSoul92x]

Usually I do not mind the RNG, even if its a pokemon I dont ever use or plan on using I still tend to read them curiosity. I think it's a good system once the game has been out for a while. However, since B&W just came out I personally think that some of the firsts should be "interesting" pokemon, for example I like the Machamp POTW, he wasnt done last gen and is a viable OU, which is what most people play. But when I got on to check who this weeks is and saw it was snorlax i admit I was disappointed. He had a POTW last generation and pretty much since his arrival in 1st gen he has never really changed.

So my suggestion would be to go through and take out the numbers of pokemon like snorlax (for now) where their POTWs would be almost cut and paste from last gens and give priority to those who werent covered last gen and 5th gen. I personally like the cycling the tier idea, and perhaps the 2 per week. If this gens POTW is like last gen, I know i at least be on Smogon a lot more then here because they covered all pokemon but some of the NFE and updated the sets

[Mr. Marowak]

Just a question, if the RNG spouts out the number of a NFE, like Sneasel, would you go straight to Weavile?
