Just as a side note, I have given Chenkovsky the Tyranitar analysis. Furthermore, I am dropping Rhyperior. In light of the new vacencys, I would like to do Smeargle and one of my favorite underrated Pokemon in the metagame, Lanturn and Furret with its nicely-buffed speed stat

I dont see Kingdra on the Preliminary Pokedex or anywhere else

I'll take it if that's ok

Is it all good if I take over Abomasnow,as the writer is dead?

I'll put it into bullet points and have it ready to go.

temporarily dropping Lanturn to do Gardevoir (Pwnemon said that someone could take it)

edit: actually, putting on hold is probably a better way to say it.

I'm going to say that after Raichu we are not going to start any more VGC analysis' at this time. We have way too many half done / incomplete analysis', and the VGC 2015 rules will be out before we know it. This will only be temporary until most if not all of these analysis' are finished. Sorry if there are people who wants to do more mons, but it's best to finish the common ones before we tackle more niche things.

Are we allowed to reserve some yet for the next season? I know for a fact that I am going to want to do Swampert.

if we could for next season I'd jump on Sceptile and Metagross before anyone even got the chance 'cause their megas will be so rediculously good (Mega Sceptile will be quite literally the best Rotom-Wash counter in the game thanks to typing and Lightningrod and Mega Metagross will be terrifying as it could block Intimidate before mega and gets a monstrous Tough Claws-boosted Meteor Mash, Hammer Arm, Zen Headbutt etc. post-mega - imagine if this thing got a boost from Meteor Mash... oh god...)

Yeah it will be good but no reserving analyses for next season yet. We need to wrap up VGC 14 first.

Just thinking ahead and being hypothetical. I understand that there is no point reserving for a format which hasn't even been revealed yet. If Cress is legal it will be GG Reuniclus.

For next season's analyses, I suggest that we do a high-priority list so that only that stuff is done at the start of the season. Furthermore, for anything that is not on that list we should have to argue it and have it accepted before we can write an analysis for it. It is just an idea to make the sub forum a little more well-organised with next season's analyses and not end up with one person doing the vast majority of them (although they were probably for people to take over as they are basically untouched since they were skeleton'd).
