Cloyster is surprisingly strong for a forgotten Generation I pokemon. I had one in my battle team for pokemon white and it can sweep most teams by itself, only falling to some specific counters. One of my personal victories was that I came up with the concept of using a King's Rock for Cloyster due to its attacks that connect 5 times always, which has a 40% chance of flinching the opponent. I couldn't find this on smogon anywhere, so it's like I'm innovative. (or most likely, it's a bad set-up )

For me it's the complete opposite. Couldn't care less about this useless stuff and don't understand why it's there. As someone who never listen/read pokemon, I don't understand anything about them and I just feel like it's too childish to be worth making comparison between them and sc2 progamers... No offense to anyone but that's just how I feel. It just doesn't feel serious.

You have no soul. :o

In any case, in the anime dragonite is barely taller than Ash these days, quite a fall for a legendary dragon.

It's on smogon. Sorry to disappoint.

It wasn't there when I played pokemon white six months ago. See here. But indeed, they have an entry for that now, I guess I was ahead of the pokemon metagame. ^_^
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

The most accomplished player in this group is Jjakji! Don't forget that unlike Flash and First, he actually won a GSL...
Anyway, I'm rooting for him and as long as he pull enought SCV vs First, he shall be able to make it to the RO16.

Hoping Flash makes it out with a stellar performance, and that First crashes and burns in a similar fashion.

Flash and Jjakji advancing would be cool.

On an individual basis First is arguably more accomplished, having won IEM Katowice, gotten far into tournaments and helped his team a lot in GSTL, Flash only has his PL result, he has only made two RO16s, and has 1 silver from MLG. I hope Flash can turn on God mode now and blast his way trough everyone and everything given that there is no PL to distract him.

Two minor issues. One is that First's appearance late on the seen (he only switched to SC2 in early 2012) seems to hint at a later-gen defensive poke. Maybe Aggron or Bastiodon, hinting at how his defense is surprisingly vulnerable to the right opponents. The second issue it that Dragonite was never formally designated as legendary, even in the first generation. The only exception was in the anime, and only one episode, which was contradicted by the movie ending the same season, at that. The commonly-accepted term is actually pseudo-legendary.

In relevant news, Hyvaa is going to crit-hit Flash and make everyone hate him even more.

Should be Flash and First on paper, but wouldn't be surprised to see hyvaa pull off something to squeak through in 2nd place. I don't think jjakji has it in him to get out of this group. He'll probably stick around Code S Ro32 level.

I don't think a lot of people (including me) know Pokemon past generation 2 or 3 expect for the really famous starters. So I like it that the writer are staying away from there.

I figured Flash would be Mewtwo actually. Without a doubt the best 1st gen Pokemon(sc1), still top-tier, but likely not the best or even 2nd best anymore. Idk, maybe Mewtwo still is a the best, I mean I quit after gen 3 when I was 13 lol..

Just seems like when you have 309048309 legendary pokemon running around now that Mewtwo wouldn't still be the best. I mean there's even a god pokemon these days...

I guess should Flash win this season he will either become Celebi or Dialga (probably Arceus though)

Indeed, I was pretty shocked Flash wasn't Arceus. That said, I think the writer of the pokedex has a penchant for the first 151 and is trying to align most progamers to that. I mean, 32 people, not like they're short of choice.

When my eyes are tired and I see a wall of text with lots of players names I do the same. Usually I will read all of it though

Off the top of my head, Dragonite was referenced as legendary/super incredibly rare in the Bill episode, the banned dratini/tauros episode, and the ditto episode.

Come on Flash! It'd be a shame to see you not live up to your reputation and legendary status!
