How are people with Old 3DS doing with this game? I want to get it but I'm hearing about game-breaking glitches and poo poo on the old 3DS, but mine ran Monster Hunter 4U fine which also reportedly had problems.

I've had my 3DS since release (only got a bigger SD) and it works totally fine. A little slowdown in battle royales and double battles but those are minimal events.

I haven't noticed any difference from XY. Anything with lots of models on screen at once are still laggy as hell. Battle Royal is downright unplayable but I don't think it's any better on N3DS.

The first VGC "season" is going until the middle of January--does that mean that the major competitions will be using the current VGC rules? By all of that I mean will Regionals/Nationals/Worlds be using only Alola Dex too?

That said Lele has like negative physical bulk, you could try running minimum speed Bulu (I assume it's slower than Lele) to negate the terrain and then koing it with wood hammer

VGC rules will be VGC rules for the entire year, the "season" simply refers to this being the first round of regionals. For the entirety of 2017 until the end of the Worlds matchups will be Alolan Dex only.

Why does Smogon have such complicated ban clauses? I guess "complicated" is the wrong word, because I mean stuff like the Baton Pass clause, the OHKO ban, the evasion-raising and Moody bans, and the sleep clause.

Like, these things are in the game. Some of them just seem like "we hate variance", which is understandable but I'm not really sure why it's codified in the actual format itself, and stuff like speed passing, while certainly difficult to deal with... I don't know, why don't they just let the metagame revolve around these things, since there will always be pillars?

I don't know anything about competitive play but I figured asking here would get my head less bitten off than asking there :shobon:

Bewear - Premier Ball for that rare Beanie Baby aesthetic

I do this, too. My crabrawler is in a Luxury Ball because he's the champ, my Gyrados is in a Heal Ball because I like the idea of this gigantic storm demon emerging from a cloud of pink glitter, Persian is in a Premier Ball because he, too, is a treasure.

IMO - Half of the clauses are because the people who play in the smogon community are the same type of people who play "Fox Only, No Items, Final Destination" in smash
And if my experiences on Pokemon Showdown are accurate, they don't nickname their pokemon either, what nobs
