The people who spend the most time playing the game generally have the most knowledge about how it should be played. I trust their ideas about balance a lot more than the company who created Zacian.

That thing they don't even try to do? You realize the council's been repeatedly outed, by multiple sources including ex-members, for disregarding balance in favor of their personal preferences, right? Zacian being created means nothing when it's a Special Pokemon which makes it banned by default by official formats and only temporarily becomes usable for specific format exceptions, but I guess you wouldn't know enough about the real formats to know that.

If you want to get smogon and showdown taken down, alert nintendos lawyers at:

General Counsel The Pokémon Company International
10400 NE 4th Street
Suite 2800
Bellevue, WA 98004
Tel: +1 (425) 274-4800
Fax: +1 (425) 229-6001
[email protected]

The reason you should explain is substitution for the original product (showdown copying pokemons gameplay, include video of showdown gameplay) and usage of copyrighted images to make profit (tournament entries money based on pokemon assets, merchandise etc.)

People like to disparage fan communities they have nothing to do with. Why? As if OP's opinion is worth anymore than the next loser nerd. Smogon hate is as old as Smogon. I'm not a fan, personally, but I love the asshurt the site cause. Pokemon fans have been seething since 2004.

Smogon actually didn't want to ban Baton Pass. They tried everything they could with multiple limits and bans to keep it balanced enough to be legal. Baton Pass teams just proved to be too powerful, and nothing Smogon did could keep it fair.

>Shadow Tag
Shadow Tag is definitely too much. Omni-trapping is absolutely busted. Magnet Pull is already excessively strong and it only traps one type.

Legally it doesn't matter if the meta is slightly different

You can't just make a film and change the last 2 minutes and claim its yours. Smogon dirrectly copies all of its art assets and game from pokemon

>>50819999
Yes, in fact i do. Its illegal for them to ignore copyright infringement or they risk losing the copyright.

The reason they haven't done anything yet, is because they can claim ignorance, but the moment they become aware they are forced to take action.

The most Game Freak could actually do to them is make them stop using Pokemon music, names, and sprites/models in their battle simulator. The simulator would still exist, it just wouldn't be as visually appealing. They legally cannot take down a simulator, just like companies can do nothing about emulators. Downloading roms is illegal, but emulators are perfectly, 100% legal, as ruled by an actual court.

They're not allowed in multiplayer battles, though, except for in Gen 5 with the Item Launcher
