Regarding our selection process

[TheAwesomeOne]

No one cried when Gen 4 Pokés didn't get done for the Gen 4 POTW, so why are people crying about Gen 5!?!?!?
RNG is what they are using.
AND NOTHING ELSE.

[Serebii]

And trust me, we're making sure that all Pokemon will be covered this generation

Yea, I'm still speculating what your big plan is :P Any news on when your new system comes into action?

Next month maybe?

[WeatherEffectRain]

...Thinking. Is it any occurance that it is Mother's day and Leavanny was chosen? 'Cause I'd say the likes of Kangaskhan would've fit it more easily, but hey, it works.

[ This is not a complaint comment by the way. ]

On the Serebii.net homepage, introducing Swalot as Pokemon of the week there is a typo.
It says Sawlot.

personally id love to see more 5th gen Pokemon as POTW. I really like hyrdeigon, chandelure and victini and would really apprieciate some movesets and ideas for them

I read what a few other users said - about the whole "voting" deal. That DOES sound like an interesting idea, but, as already stated, people will STILL complain. And, quite honestly, I DO enjoy seeing Pokemon of all sorts as POTW. In a way, it's kind of exciting, not knowing WHAT you'll read about on Sunday. If Serebii's POTW was based on votes, all we'd see is OU Pokemon. C'mon, guys. If you want to see an in-depth OU analysis, just visit Smogon. I usually enjoy reading the subtle differences between Smogon and Serebii set recommendations. But reading JUST about OUs, week after week, would become so monotonous.

But I digress. Seeing a totally random and bizarre Pokemon like Swalot is refreshing. After playing B/W WFC for so long, you forget all about Swalot and other under-used Pokemon. So, anyway, keep things as they are. I enjoy Serebii's POTW, and I like the variety I'm used to seeing.

No requests Colbat.
Random Number Generator does it all, so we have absolutely no control over the next Pokémon.

[empireyin]

I agree, the random number system is very good, it's the best way i guess.
It's fair and always a surprise, and who doesn't like surprises anyway?

[SomeoneIGuess]

By the way, is it a coincidence that Tyranitar, Salamence, and Garchomp all came out as the first few POTWs? (And Machamp, who was also kinda a big boss in 4th Gen)

[Blue Harvest]

The first few POTW's were not random. Once B/W was released in America we started using a random number generator.

[WeatherEffectRain]

Hm...Yet again, a question. Sorry for me not pertaining to the topic alot.

Its about a set I'm working on. Trick Room just makes the slowest Pokemon move first correct? Well, I'm wondering: Gyro Ball, the better-to-be-slower, could have amazing synergy with this. Being slower than the rest of the game is good for Gyro Ball, and being slower makes you faster with Trick Room. However, I have not tested this. Does Trick Room affect Gyro Ball? I'd really love to know, 'cause it'd make tons of things sweepers whereas they'd normally want to be slower -- and they still are.

Jumping around the question again. But seriously, I don't know where else to put them.

Thanks if you can help.

[wildman101093]

I think that there should be a poll, but with four or five choices. An example would be like:

What should the next POTW be?
A. Typhlosion
B. Armaldo
C. Slowbro
D. Duskinoir
E. Swellow

And so that way, you could limit which pokemon would be done.

I would go for E. not just because swellow is my fav pokemon, but (I think) it has been years since it got potw.

A little irrelevant but no, it does not.

do one of nattorei

Thankyou, I thought not, just wanted a little outside proof. And, like I said, I didn't know where else to put it. Oh well, I'm not gonna ask any more questions on this thread, no matter how irritating.

No one will care in 3 and a half more years (which I believe you stated you'd like the PoTW 5th Gen to last) about a moveset for Empoleon, Scizor, or any other OU or Uber Pokemon that you haven't covered. People will have figured out the best/most popular/their favorite movesets on their own. I mean, Swalot? Really? Do yourselves a favor and pick out Pokemon people will want to read about. And this isn't about the number generator. This is about the fact that you don't exclude dumb Pokemon that don't have any redeeming qualities. The last two PoTW to be featured were Swalot and Leavanny. It seems like the articles should have had a disclaimer saying: "These Pokemon cannot take hits or dish them out. They have little redeeming qualities, however. So if you wanna use them, use them."
Have you even read Levanny's Overview on its PoTW?
Why would anyone even consider using it after that severe criticism?http://www.serebii.net/potw-bw/542.shtml
Seriously this is some bull sh*t.
