Question. About the clan, is there someone I should ask for information or something, or should I just sit around and wait for some news? I just applied recently, should I just assume that I'm in the division I wanted, or is someone gonna figure that out?

For the record, you didn't have to sit around and wait. You could have posted. And we hope you do post, and become an active member in our discussion. Or, seeing as you're new, you could always ask questions about our reasonings behind something, or something.

Also, Since I'm starting school on Thursday, and nobody's going to be home all day today, I have made a dicision. While I shall still remain uber-active, today I am going to be on for a strait 16 hours, give or take. That doesn't mean I'll be battling for 16 hours, but I'll talk and stuff.

So I'm thinking of running a Sand Team again, since I'm bored of rain (in real life as well) and I feel all nostalgic, Sand being the first thing I based my teams around.

Buuuutttt, is Sand still good in this Metagame?

[zombieoverkill12]

well, sand does work well, but politoed has the most usage in OU, so you may want to take that into consideration. Personally, I'm working on a sun team right now, and I suck at all other weathers at the moment.

Sand is great, but bring a rotom-w, and another pokemon to hurt rain teams/tornadus-t.

Sorry guys but Im leaving the clan, I think i've been inactive too long here anyway. This post is just to save confusion.

Bye juice. Hope you had fun while you were here.

I like sand over sun because it has 2 pokemon to set it up. Use a Rotom-w or I use Celebi to take out toad, and if sand got cancelled out bring in whichever inducer hasn't fainted.

I personally prefer sun teams as they're typically the most original ofnweather teams

Why'd you stop doing your synergy cores? I'd love if you could continue doing them.

Original?? A combination of - Ninetails/Donphan/Venusaur/Volcarona/Victini/Sawsbuck/Dugtrio = every successful sun team ever

Hey guys, I hate to be doing this, but I think I'm going to have to leave the clan as well. I just don't have the time like I used to since school started. Tough semester ahead and if I'm already this busy on the first week, there's no way I'll be able to be active later in the year. I had a great time and learned a lot. You guys are a great bunch and I enjoyed every minute of CGness. Thanks for everything, especially Blues for making me feel welcome when I joined and MM for the team building help. Hopefully I'll find time again someday and be back for round 2, but for now, this is farewell.

[Rhonder]

Hey guys, I'm thinking that I'm gonna be back for a while I no longer feel too busy to be on PO some, and in fact sometimes have been feeling bored. I don't start school until the 24th, so I should be solid until at least then. I'm glad to see my name still under Tourmaline's ranks, so that's good.

Anyways, what did I miss, and what's going on currently?

But this is good =D Uh quite a lot happened heh

[Rhonder]

Yeahhh I figured as much. The only thing I know I missed for sure was the Tag Team Tournament (Sorry Tyoyo!) because I had to go out of town for 3 weeks straight lol xD;; Oh well, I'll just lurk around and try and get reacquainted.

On a side note I'm not fond of the new PO ._. The team builder seems a lot harder to use than the last version... oh well. I'll throw together a team and start testing I suppose. I'm thinking... Sun maybe...

Aw, man Mparr. . . it's okay. i understand, but come back when you aren't busy and drop by on PO if you ever get a small amount of freetime

[Soperman]

What? I thought you were better then me! I peaked 1107, I think....

You see, the problem is, sometimes I have bad days, and it's impossible for me to recover because in the lower rankings the people are so bad they are good.

ACK RUN ON, IM SORRY

That is a depressing peak.

SHADDAP

RONDER! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Ok: Vand and Zach stepped down from leadership positions, we beat Team America in a war, and we are part of a league called the Manhatten Project.
Speaking of leaders, WHERE IS PSYCHO >:I

[The Mysterious Stranger]

Bubby, I realize that battle was off, but I need to say this. The team looks excellently built at a glance. Very solidly built. The problem with the teams are the move sets.

One of your physical mons needs to be special, cause if it's not, it hurts the team


EDIT: Woah, I totally combined your team with the sun team I had just battled. Which is weird, cause yours was rain.

EDIT 2: Blues, I just taught your tutee about the Attack and Special attack stats, and Physical and Special attacks. I think you may officially fail as a tutor.

It's cool. I teamed up with prohawk for a bit, but TheBluePorygon seems to have dissappeared, so we couldn't get our battles done.

[Triton Generation]

I have alot of work to do.
