Welcome to Smogon's forum for the Pokemon Trading Card Game! While we're obviously a video game site first here at Smogon, more and more of our users have begun to pick up the TCG recently, so we've decided to add a forum for discussion of the Pokemon TCG. We're no authority on the TCG right now...

Congratulations to the Alpha Ruiners, Smogon Premier League 3 Champions! Will the Ruiners finally manage to win the finals, or will they manage to get second three years in a row? Can the Bigs show why they were the top seed? Will Bad Romance piss off another entire team? find out next time...

While we knew the four playoff teams going into week 9, the seeds were decided to at least make last week a little bit relevant. The Bigs managed to have a perfect week on the last week of the season to get their BD up to 29 and keep them ahead of the Indie Scooters, who finished +17, as both...

If someone wants to post the seeding scenarios based on what could happen this week I'll edit them into the OP tomorrow, but since I've been wandering around Vegas all day getting free drinks for gambling I'm really not in any position to do basic math to do them myself. The Congregation of the...

Week 8. Things are getting super exciting. Super. Exciting. Yeah. At least the playoffs are coming soon. Also the Cryos are still alive so this isn't completely a waste of time. Hooray! Managers: It would be really handy if you could get me your rosters on Saturday this week so I can premake...

Week 7 pairings. Two teams were too lazy to send me their rosters so hopefully they wanted to start with whatever they started last week with. Probably you all should bother to get your matches done even if your team is eliminated or I might accidentally turn your avatars into teletubbies or...

Week 6 pairings. Hopefully a bunch of suckers choke because this playoff picture is getting boring fast. The Dragonspiral Tyrants (4) vs. The Ever Grande BIGS (7) BW OU 1: Heist vs. idiotfrommars BW OU 2: B-Lulz vs. Ojama BW OU 3: jcpdragonx vs. Limitless BW Ubers: Fiction vs. Syrim BW UU...

I think transparency is something that's pretty important for the integrity of events like this, so when I'm in a position where I need to make important administrative decisions as the host of SPL I'm going to post the problem, relevant information, and solution I came to in this thread so that...

OK SO A bunch of us were talking in #premier that it'd be cool to have end of season awards the way most professional sports leagues do. I think it'd be a little too much work to try to poll everyone in the league, and that campaigning and snowball voting would be a little too effective if we...

Welcome to Smogon's sports subforum. Obviously, sporting threads ranging from the most popular stuff like football and... football right down to the ridiculous shit ESPN and the Olympics try to convince us is a sport like curling and bowling go here rather than in a forum. However, all of Cong's...

This thread is for discussion of the competitive impacts of weather in Generation 5. While we still probably don't have all the information we might like to have about the abilities that effect the various weather effects, it seems pretty obvious weather will have a great and more varied impact...

While I hate to ruin the Super Smash Bros Brawl board with a topic unrelated to it, I figured I'd give this title some attention. For lack of a better introductory reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Odyssey After the embarrassment Mistwalker produced in Blue Dragon I didn't exactly...

I have noticed on IRC that while nearly everyone has spent some time in the normal, offline Battle Tower, very few people are actually playing with the Wifi Battle Tower, which at least IMO is infinitely more fun. As we've all become aware the main way the Battle Tower will beat you is luck -...

With Choice Band managing to break the 6x Leftovers monotony in Advance and the DP metagame shaping up to be more offensive than it's 386 pokemon counterpart, the addition of 'Choice' items for Speed and Special Attack seemed as though they would, along with the original Choice Band, find their...
