Well, i was thinking of something interesting today.
I've been thinkin bout it for a while, but never really got to postin it (it's most likely aready up somewhere, but i thought the concept was interesting anyway)
instead of rating teams, I thought of something a little more basic.
I wanted to make a standard system that most (hopefully) will be able to agree on using.
A system for rating POKEMON, individually that is.
Rate That Pokemon!, if you will
I would base it on a few categories, and give each category an assigned point value on the overall Rating.
But i need some help. Can't do it myself.
Especially since this is a rather controversial and opinionated topic.
I need the views of many different people.
Help me out?
so far i've come up with this.
Five basic categories, each split up into to groups (so ten in all). Also, a list of complete movesets is to be posted with each pokemon. The categories are as follows(And each category is split up into OFFENSIVELY and DEFENSIVELY):
-Typing
OFFENSIVELY-What coverage to the pokemon's STAB moves grant it? What pokemon are they especially useful for?
DEFENSIVELY-What Weaknesses does the pokemon have (and how common is that move type)? What resistances and immunities, if any(and how useful are they)?
-Base Stats
OFFENSIVELY-(Mostly the pokemon's Base ATTACK, SPECIAL ATTACK, AND SPEED. Discounting stat altering moves and the like entirely, on based on the pokemon's BASE stats)
DEFENSIVELY-(Mostly the pokemon's Base DEFENSE, SPECIAL DEFENSE, AND HIT POINTS. Same rules that apply for OFFENSIVE base stats)
-Move Pool
OFFENSIVELY-Which (useful) offensive moves does it carry (and how broad is the type diversity)? What types can this pokemon effectively cover? Are they any pokemon that resist the majority of this pokemon's moves?
DEFENSIVELY-What moves can this pokemon viably use defensively?
-Ability
OFFENSIVELY-What does the pokemon's ability do for it offensively?
DEFENSIVELY-What does the pokemon's ability do for it defensively?
-Uses
OFFENSIVELY-How many different battle roles can this pokemon fill offensively? How important are these roles to the typical six pokemon team?
DEFENSIVELY-How many different battle roles can this pokemon fill defensively? How important are these roles to the typical six pokemon team?
MOVESETS-Popular and tricky movesets posted by all kinds of players, with ability, held item, EV Spread, and all four moves laid out in a clear format(white, bold, underlined, standard RMT format.
And that's about it. I know i need some more specific details on this, but i just wanted to get that down. Feel free to comment on what you think should be added/taken away.
HERE IS A VERY IMPORTANT LINK TO A THREAD THAT EXPLAINS IN DETAIL WHAT AND WHAT NOT TO DO REGARDING RTPs AND WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE:

I'm going to post a rating I have done and I suggest everybody fill out as well (so we can get an average).
The rating sheet will go as follows:
[Pokemon]
[Type(s)]
[Ability(s)]
[Base Stats]
-HP
-AT
-DE
-SA
-SD
-SP
And then the rating will follow, with each of the ten categories filled in.
The pokemon I suggest we all rate is...
The everpopluar (I feel TOO popluar) GARCHOMP!
[Pokemon] Garchomp
[Type(s)] Dragon/Ground
[Ability(s)] Sand Veil
[Base Stats]
-HP 108
-AT 130
-DE 95
-SA 80
-SD 85
-SP 102
Here's the link to the thread with Garchomp's info. Enjoy!

Afterwards we will be doing Dusknoir, Toxicroak, and Lucario. Any other suggestions?
I have somebody signed up to be doing Metagross and Celebi as well.
so, I have no other way to wrap up this incredibly long post except by saying, what do you say?
