Isn't latinoheat's concept, Break the Mold, something we can already to without it being the entire focus?
Mine could put the smackdown on Togekiss even more. That was kinda the point of mine. I hope people aren't interpreting mine as a hax abuser.Voted for Gothic_Togekiss and latinoheat. Both of those would be fun to do, and either of them could put a big smackdown on Togekiss if done right.
I was thinking that as well. almost all of these concepts could be used in conjunction with Break the Mold.Isn't latinoheat's concept, Break the Mold, something we can already to without it being the entire focus?
Hax doesn't ruin battles, stupid decisions do. If your hax counter can't put enough damage on Togekiss, then it isn't a Togekiss counter as much as it is immune to flinch or paralysis or whatever. Which is what a status absorber is designed to do, and some kind of electrical tank could also probably put Togekiss in its place. Or whatever. I've never been sold on complaints of "hax." "Hax" balances out stat-ups for the most part and no single currently existing ability or set of abilities can stop it.Mine could put the smackdown on Togekiss even more. That was kinda the point of mine. I hope people aren't interpreting mine as a hax abuser.
IT IS ALSO A HAX COUNTER. If you want that, and you're tired of hax ruining your battles, then vote for mine.
Also Chaoscrippler is completely right. Any one of these other concepts could ALSO be done with a "break the mold" type. Perhaps we should have a side vote to see if people would want to use latino's as well as another concept. I'm thinking clicky poll with: "Use break the mold and another concept" and "just one concept" or something. It's not really my decision, but it seems like a logical thing to do.
I totally agree with this. This seems more of a typing + stats thing than a concept thing to me.Also Chaoscrippler is completely right.

I hope you are joking. Let me give you an example.Hax doesn't ruin battles, stupid decisions do.
Or, you could have EQ'd Heatran instead of switching to Vappy. Not saying you would end up winning, just saying that the hax, while unfortunate, could have gone the other way too. It's a 6.6% chance of happening, which is low enough not to be a huge problem. Perhaps I should not have said "stupid" in my assessment, but nonetheless, your battle was altered by decisions.I hope you are joking. Let me give you an example.
I send in my Snorlax to take an obvious FB from a Heatran. This happened to be a CB lax. Thanks to thick fat and high hp/sp.def this is a safe switch. However I am met by a critical hit knocking off around 40% of my health. Knowing my opponent is ready to sacrifice Heatran, I have to switch Snorlax out as I cannot allow him to reach 50% health. I then switch to Vaporeon who also has high sp.def and is immune to fire. My opponent again scores a critical hit putting my Vaporeon at considerably low health. This in turn caused me to lose the battle because had it not scored a crit on Lax/Vaporeon they both would have been able to take an extra hit which would have undoubtedly changed the game in my favor.
In that example I did not make any stupid decisions. I made the best choices possible but critical hits (hax) ended up losing the game for me. Also that actually happened to me in a battle. I did not fabricate anything in that example.
Yes I could have. However that would have dropped my Snorlax down to less than 50% health. I already stated that I could not allow that to happen.Or, you could have EQ'd Heatran instead of switching to Vappy.
I was very disappointed too. I want my 200 Speed Deoxys S anti-lead with Explosion, but no Stealth Rock.A shame my concept didn't make it. I voted Atomic Bomb and Kamikaze.
The topic leader picks the starting 10. This part of the process is actually "Tennisace picks what he likes and then we vote from there". Sunday did the same, and I'm sure others were "appalled" -- both this time and before -- that their role submission didn't make it to the poll. Suck it up.I feel incredibly appalled at the fact that my submission didn't make it into the concept poll... Especially since it is more akin to "Pure Utility" which won the last one. It was a simple "roll" that the Pokemon was supposed to play, it was incredibly non- constricting. I feel this more has to do with the TL either A. Actively trying to shape the pokemon in his own direction or B. the TL's dislike towards me (It's no secret the arguments that Tennis and I had in the last CAP project.).
Neither of these are adacquate reasons for disallowing my submission... especially since more constricting submissions were allowed (Aura one for example... almost needs an ability.)
The Team Leader, if I'm not mistaken, is not supposed to force the polls one way or another through not allowing certain submissions. If I recall correctly, Sunday didn't enjoy the idea of Persistant, but did he disallow it from the poll because he didn't want it to be the Pokekmon's ability? No, he allowed it because it was a fleshed out ability and deserved to be on the poll.
I know this sounds like "whiny" ranting, but I just can find no justification for doing this, in fact, I can find no justification for why any of the submissions that Doug said were legal didn't make it into this poll. All of them were deemed legal by Doug, therefor all of them should have made it to the poll, not just mine, but all of the ones you cut.
This isn't "Tennisace picks what he likes and then we vote from there"... It's a community project.
(On a side note, I voted for Break the Mold and Revenge Killer)
I would much rather do this by PM, or on the server. But I'll say it right here: I have absolutely nothing against you. I even cut out my own submission! So unless I had something against myself and everyone else who didn't make it, I fail to believe that's the reason that yours wasn't selected.I feel incredibly appalled at the fact that my submission didn't make it into the concept poll...
