Good

That sounds like a lot of fun! I've never done it myself. I'm sure you'll learn a lot and be able to keep upping yourself every year. Someday you should try to do this:

It's so boring around Halloween here, that's for sure . That's definitely one of the best . I think after Steve Carrell left the show the pranks have become more of the staple of the show.

Awesome! Exactly, you can really try any pokemon team you want without having to grind it out, and in doing so you actually learn the game really well. Showdown uses a tier system to try and make things fair, so really overpowered pokemon are placed in the "Uber" tier and the rest of the popular/good but more balanced pokemon are in "OverUsed (OU)" tier (the most popular tier to play). There are other lower tiers for the less popular/good pokemon. If I remember correctly Snorlax is considered the king of OU in gens 2 and 3, maybe more. Most legendaries are usually in Uber (e.g. Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Deoxys). You're probably playing in the OU tier so that's why you've only run into Zapdos. Wobbuffet and Wynaut are the only non-legendaries in Uber, because their ability Shadow Tag combined with their amazing tanking and countering power. You can find the OU gen 3 list here: http://www.smogon.com/dex/rs/formats/ou/. There's also build recommendations on there if you're interested! Well, my username on there is XxCasxX so if you search me up and I'm online, certainly I'm ready to battle! I made a couple gen 3 teams a few days ago though I have no idea if they work well or not. I haven't gotten that far into Doom yet but I think I can see that already .
