I feel like sigging this, so bad.
What controller do you use? If you use a button for jumping, you can cancel the glide by pressing the jump button mid glide, without going into helpless, and landing with as much lag as a soft landing, depending on how fast your glide speed was. You have to have another jump remaining for this to work, watch carefully what you're doing. If you do have another jump, you can perform an aerial a few frames after canceling, but you cannot glide again until you touch solid ground.
If you accidentally use your second jump before doing this, upon canceling, you'll go into helpless. Likewise, if you glide attack with a jump remaining, you can do an aerial, jump, or any special you're not limited to performing on the ground (I.E Not Pokemon Switch).

Competitive pokémon sucks. I've got friends who'd kill me for saying that, but c'mon. It takes all the fun away.
But its too late for me now. I know about IVs, EVs, Catch Rates, Natures, and all that ****. My mind is tainted.
I wish I could be a six year old playing Pokémon Red for the first time again. God, amazing times. Man, the nostalgia...

I dont like paraflinch either.
I never lost repeated to paraflinch. I just bring in a scarfed Heatran.
But losing to inconsistent is soo painfully annoying...
Point taken tho Reflex. Is that why you do not play much online?

Oh man. GSC Meta = GSC Stall. :\

No way--You just switch and set up screens until someone gets lucky with critical hits or paralysis so that the obligatory Snorlax Curses up and KOs everything.

GSC was full of Skarmory and Blissey. I liked competitive 3rd gen best:
-Gen 1 was the same pokemon over and over again.
-Gen 2 also had the same pokemon over and over again, but with walls.
-Gen 3 was pretty balanced.
-Gen 4 was sweeping galore.
-Gen 5 is weather with a side of Shanderaa and Nattorei.

I loved 4th Gen.
Terywj [태리]

I agree. However, Gen. IV was much more than just sweeping. Especially near the decline of Salamence (as in, the banning of) FWG cores were everywhere.
Gen. I introduced the series.
Gen. II added some new toys regarding with typings and moves but was still undefined.
Gen. III added important competitive factors such as natures and abilities, etc.
Gen. IV refined Gen. I-Gen. III. Nothing else can be said.
Gen. V is one ugly *** mess.
Generation 3 is where they achieved true balance. They were too far-reaching with Generation 4. That\'s why I pretty much retired at the end of Full Advance.
Terywj [태리]
Charismatic Maknae~
Far-reaching? How so? I'm just curious. As someone who played almost exclusively UU during Gen. IV, I'm taking a completely neutral standpoint, since I never bothered with Infernape, Garchomp, and those shenanigans.
They were like, \"We -need- to have new, useful items, and we -need- to buff specific stuff to make them as awesome as we feel they should be.\"
We got the Choice Scarf, which threw off the balance in Speed tiers significantly, thus turning counters on their head, thus making frail Pokémon really difficult to use at all.
We got the Life Orb, which creates a massive power boost for, in many cases, almost nothing at all (it could\'ve been balanced by activating the HP loss against Substitute, Protect and missed attacks, as well as being 1.2[5?])x instead of 1.3x, but, noooo). This made the strongest sweepers really troublesome to deal with; that Draco Meteor is going to disintegrate whatever you decide to send in.
Outrage became base 120 power...but not Thrash or Petal Dance? Rock Blast is base 25, but Bullet Seed and Icicle Spear are base 10? Feint is base 50 power? Draco Meteor exists? They made some weird choices with moves. I know a lot of the move stuff was fixed in 5th gen, but that doesn\'t excuse 4th gen.
The main troubles are the items and super-powerful moves; they created too many threats to be able to reasonably deal with. At this point, every team ends up being dreadfully weak to something specific and not very popular. For the longest time, teambuilding was bottlenecked (\"Okay, so I have my two Steels and a bulky Water to deal with a single Dragon-type\"), and the physical/special split was really bad for competitive play. Kingler has physical STAB? That\'s cool, until you realize that Salamence actually has good attacks.
It was quite the cluster****.

Call me when Exeggutor becomes the hellish force he once was back in RBY
While it\'s slightly gimmicky, Harvest allows him to use Rest with a Lum Berry and instantly wake up whenever he wants. That\'s pretty silly.

Harvest doesn't occur every turn the berry has been consumed, unfortunately. I would have used Sunny Day + Exeggutor all the time.

Rock Blast has always been 25, but Icicle Spear and Bullet Seed are 25 now as well. I got lucky with a technician Chillachino that miraculously hit 5 times with Sweep Slap twice in a row, killing a Scizor.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Stealth Rock and the inflation of priority moves.
I had a 4th gen Hail team. The problem was that the metagame was full of sweepers that absolutely CRUSHED Hail teams, and Hail was focused on defense, so I only got up to like 1300 Ladder Points at most. I kept switching out more and more Pokemon so that my hail team could strive in the metagame, until I alas kicked out Abomasnow and ended up with a regular team.

In gen 5 I rarely feel like I lose to a team, but more random just random Pokemon since there are soo many that are really overpowered right now.

Looking from Reflex's perspective, it's a miracle that they made 3th gen so good seeing as they had no clue what they were doing in 4th gen. I honestly don't know if I'm this excited for 5th gen, I find the designs very poor ( with exceptions ) and from what I've heard/read there's some messed stuff in there.
To throw the subject around a bit, I'm hunting the Final Fantasy Dissidia: 012 boards. Anyone as excited for this game as I am?

Oh, yeahhhh--Stealth Rock inevitably preventing otherwise-great Pokémon from seeing the light of day in OU is huge--Stealth Rock was the best move in 4th generation, no doubt.
I don't really mind the priority moves. Scizor was a tad bit overkill, but lots of stuff resists him.
I made up a few slight changes that would have greatly improved the game, I feel.
Terywj [태리]
Charismatic Maknae~
Stealth Rock was one of the best, along with Spore, and Substitute, and Earthquake, and other best moves of Gen. IV.
Scizor was so overused to the point where everyone ran Scior to check too much, which made Scizor really easy to bait.
Good thing Nintendo decided to remove Stealth Rock as a TM. And Sleep Talk! Then they changed the sleep mechanics.

Choice Scarf really is the worst item. It's one of the big reasons why I couldn't get into Gen IV to be honest. Having played Gen III a lot, it was really hard to get used to the idea that some pokemon may or may not be scarf'd.
Haven't played Gen V yet, but from what I hear, it's not going in a direction I like. I think I agree with Reflex in that nothing will top Gen III for me.

For example...
Defog is currently the worst move in competitive play. It lowers the opponent's evasion and gets rid of the entry hazards YOU put up.
Defog should've been "Haze for entry hazards." While we're at it, it should get rid of weather effects, too.
As a result of this, people aren't forced to use Rapid Spin, but Rapid Spin doesn't become obsolete, either. Rapid Spin would be useful for someone who needs their entry hazards out, while Defog would give other people new options to eliminate the opponent's. Also, Defog isn't resisted by anyone, meaning that "spinblocking" Defog would be limited to Taunt users.
Defog's distribution isn't fantastic, but there are a few Pokémon that would benefit--Bulky Staraptor could come into vogue, scaring out Tyranitar and Defogging Stealth Rock and Sand Stream away. Defog Zapdos could allow for Thunder to become more viable on defensive sets. Empoleon resists Stealth Rock and can defeat a lot of its users with little trouble. Gliscor, known for its ability as a defensive presence, could become a premier Defogger.

Sounds like the move 'steam clean' juggernaut enemies use in FFXIII.

You mean I can't use Attract / Confuse Ray Crobat anymore? Dammit.
A slight issue with your Defog buff, though, is that most of the Pokemon with Defog are Flying-types, which means as they switch in to remove hazards, they may be taking Stealth Rock damage on top of whatever they switch into.
At least Stealth Rock's distribution has been lowered severely with its removal as a TM. Spikes is a much more usable alternative if you're running that idea.
I, however, respect my opponents too much to use entry hazards~~
Happy birthday, Zigsta!
