No.8748

No, the default is no message at all. They either went out of their way to be bastards, or just reflexively type 'gg' at the end of each battle.

WHY. At this point, it doesn't have any value anymore. IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. It's just etiquette, but they don't meant it. It's a lie.

No.8886
>>8885
There are a few ways to tell an untalented player in Pokemon:

* If their team consists entirely of legendaries or pseudo-legendaries, especially one of all Dragon-types
* If all their Pokemon are shiny
* The very instant any Pokemon on their team uses Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Hydro Cannon, Blast Burn, or Frenzy Plant.

These players are usually cake to take care of, though the paint-by-numbers teams can still be trouble, rookie player or otherwise. A lot of the high tier Pokemon simply don't take a lot of skill to use.

Oh, for fuck's sake...

You know I'd be one to quickly jump on this. With Deoxys in a Speedo gone there is absolutely nothing that can just throw down a speedy Taunt and put a stop to this move.

Since you've heard this all to death I'm going straight to the point.

Getting rid of Stealth Rock is kind of impractical seeing as how few pokémon get Rapid Spin and especially in the advent of Platinum we see a lot of Rotoms floating around blocking our spinning.

Common Arguments for a ban on SR

1. No other move hits everything (with the exception of not hitting Magic Guard Clefable).

2. Hardly punishable. There's often some way you can punish a pokémon for using a certain move, but in the long run you really cannot.

3. Minimizes the pokémon that can be played (Moltres, Charizard, Yanmega, and Ho-Oh taking 50% is huge) allowing certain pokémon ex. Scizor to run rampant.

4. Ease to set up. Brongzong having only one weakness, can be used by super fast pokémon like Areodactyl too.

5. Hard to get rid of. Not too many pokémon carry Rapid Spin and many are stopped by common Ghosts.

Destroying the Counter Arguments

1. Taunt the SR Leads:

If you do manage to Taunt a lead then they'll probably just switch back in later to set up SR when they have a chance.

In October any Bronzong had nearly a 70% chance of holding Stealth Rock and I am sure that is just going to rise seeing as it is a practical SR user.

But "Infernape and Heatran" can stop Bronzong, this is true, but what Bronzong would be staying in on them? Seeing as it only has one weakness it could come in later and just set up.

We all know how fast Azelf is and many sets carry a Scarf, so it will be difficult to stop.

2. Focus Sash users would be Broken:

Not when Spikes could be used and Sandstream/Snow Warning covers most flyers/levitators.

Let's not forget about Choice Scarfers and priority moves especially Fake Out, which would easily handle anything on its last HP.

3. Skymin would be Broken:

Actually a Stealth Rock ban would open the door to more of its counters such as Regice and Zapdos would survive longer against it.

How many Skymin would be happy to switch in on a Moltres?

4. Gyarados and Salamence would run rampant:

If you are worried about Focus Sash variants read #2. Salamence and Gyarados still get easily obliterated by an Ice and Electric move respectively.

Let's not forget about various Scarfers that could handle these guys. I'm theroymoning here, but a Jolly Choice Scarf Areodactyl/Timid Choice Scarf Jolteon would be faster than most current Salamence and Gyarados sets after they have used Dragon Dance twice. There is also (lol) Scarf Electrode. Areodactyl would not be the most practical thing right now because of taking 25% from SR.

When a door closes a new one opens up.

>>8987
Look. All I'm saying is this:
If OHKO moves and Double Team/Minimize can be banned universally, why the fuck is Stealth Rock so fucking special?

No.8989
>>8988
Because those moves rely too heavily on luck to make a huge impact on the game.
Stealth Rock always does damage.

No.8990
What if I don't fucking want to use Bronzong or Heatran or Infernape or Azelf or any of those other turds?

Every pokemon, every SINGLE one, is placed in tiers based pretty heavily on how they relate to Stealth Rock. How much damage do they take, can they use it themselves, are they fast enough to use it for realz, can they rapid spin it away. That's messed up.

And don't even get me started on removing luck to make things more fair. If I can clean out a whole team with Guillotine then obviously God Almighty wants me to advance in the tournament of the moment.

No.8991
>>8990
Okay. How about.
Instead of getting hurt by Stealth Rock.
A Rock type Pokemon EATS the Stealth Rocks.
Then it's easily rid of like Toxic Spikes.

Or we can just leave out the damage multiplying and make it a version of Spikes which can't get stronger but hits everything (but Magic Guard Clefairy).

>>8994
A better question is how if you send them out once they can stay up indefinitely even after the Pokemon that used them leaves battle or faints.

That's an alternate nerfing: limit how long it's out to either a set number of turns or until the user leaves battle.

ALTERNATIVELY:
They've been playing for a long time but haven't bothered to memorize the ins and outs of a kids game, don't know what all this EV/IV business is about, and got confused when presented with a way to create their own Pokemon (something completely alien to those who have only played Pokemon normally rather than on some homunculus of a battle program).

The vanilla version certainly doesn't see much use, I did notice that.
