I haven't played Pokemon since Diamond & Pearl and am just getting back into it now. Was wondering if anyone could give me the short version of that what has happened lore-wise since Diamond & Pearl, thanks.

HERE WE ARE AGAIN, FELLAS, FOR ANOTHER SHOWDERP. GOOD THING INDEED.

SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE CHAMP AND TEAM, DON'T MAKE SUGGESTIONS.Please. I HAVE BEEN POLITE.

THE RULES ARE, NO NEW CHAMP UNTIL CURRENT SAYS SO, NO NEW TEAM UNTIL CHAMP SAYS SO, AND THAT'S PRACTICALLY ALL. HAVE FUN WITH THE SOMOGON AND OUfags. OR TUE UUfags. OR THE Uberfas. YOU GET IT. RIGHT.

THIS IS NOT, REPEAT, NOT A SHOWDOWN THREAD, IF YOU COME HERE FOR ADVICE WE WILL LAUGH AT YOU AND POINT YOU. ALSO MODS KNOW ABOUT US, PLEASE DON'T LET THE MOOSE BE TOO LOOSE. THANKS FOR YOU COMPREHENSION.

IT BEGINS

Question /vp/. If I were to make the edgiest/darkest team possible, what would it consist of?
Houndoom and Darkrai already take up two spots.

So I have an idea for a practice rom hack. Take some notes, /vp/, especially fellow Hoenn-Babbies, you might just like this.

>Pokémon Ruby 2, more appropriately named Pokémon Magma Version
>Alternate timeline to the events of Pokémon Ruby, where Maxie stole the Red Orb, and got complete control of Groudon. Brendan was killed by Groudon as such.
>Steven was overwhelmed by Groudon and all of Team Magma's many fire and ground types, and as such, went into hiding to train at Meteor Falls.
>Team Aqua has become a crime fighting squad, replacing the police in the drought stricken region
>With Groudon's power causing a constant drought, many, if not all of Hoenn's water routes have dried up, revealing a lot of crates where dive once was, aswell as replacing the water routes with dried up paths
>The drought has also caused wildfires in some areas, as such, the entire route from Littleroot - Rustboro has been burnt to a crisp
>Mt. Chimney has also erupted and destroyed quite a bit of the area below it
>Mauvile City and the routes below are covered to ashes, and as such the residants have developed New Mauvile into an underground city
>With so many gyms closed, the Pokémon league is on hiatus, and as such a new primary objective would be needed instead of collecting badges.
>You start out in New Pacifilodge, which looks something similar to how Fortree does.

So /vp/, what are you thinking of DA! so far?
>dem Clair thighs

/vp/, I need your advice.

How exactly do I approach the Pokemon World Tournament? Do I have to bother EV training my team?

Should I follow Smogon's analyses for movesets?

>Bug Bite now eats leftovers for 2/10 health

I think something's wrong with my Pikachu.
