this thread is for mine and dontrunwithscizor's ladder.
There has been talk about whether or not legendaries should be allowed, so i'm posting this thread.
Im away in london for 3 days, whatever has the most votes when im back wins!
 
I say we ban all base-600+ Poke to make teams more balanced, instead of teams of all Psuedos. If that doesn't fly, then no legends.
 
I don't see any reason why ALL legendaries should be banned.
Noir had no trouble taking down my Cresselia.
The likes of Moltres, Uxie and Regice aren't exactly 'OMG YOU CHEAT. I CAN'T KILL THAT?!'
 
I'm thinking we should allow ALL Legendaries. Ubers are always more fun.
 
guys the two options above are the only two being considered :p
the under 6OO rule screws up too many teams :p
 
Allow non-Uber legendaries. I believe the ladder is more knowledgable about tiers.. while don't get me wrong, I like the IPGL and all but I think it's more bound to attract the people newer at battling and don't have their minds wrapped around the concept of tiers.

So, yeah. Allow all non-Uber stuff. It's not like there's any really large legendaries that are usable on Wi-Fi that can totally beat the shit out of stuff, anyway... right?
 
very true tina, the only real arguements against them are that a lot of people on the ladder are ipgl challengers, and so dont have legendaries on their team and have worked their team around a non legendary environment. However, we shall see what the poll says :)
btw tina, you should join! You'd be very welcome :)
 
Hmm.. that's very true, I didn't think of that. I don't think adding in legendaries would overcentralize the game, though, but that's just me not being one of those people who goes as far as making a massive threat list for their team.

I'm retiring from competitive battling and only do it to battle people I know well now, actually... ^_^;

That being said, both comeptitors for the ladder and IPGL have not worked around an uber environment. I see no reason why they should start now. And Tina is right, I don't think that the addition of non-uber legendaries would make much difference to the games. Plus, if people have worked on their team for some long, they wouldn't even bother adding in legendaries anyway.
 
Ubers and legendaries aren't the same thing, though. There's plenty of legendaries that are hardly Ubers (Entei, Articuno, Moltres, etc).
 
well we'll see what the poll says, i dont actually mind either way, i dont use legendaries but i practice on shoddy where they're allowed

That's what I'm trying to stress.
The examples you posted are hardly imbalanced.
 
i may have designed this poll weirdly, i thought that if you vote legendries, your voting to keep them in, and if you vote not your voting for them not to be banned, have you all voted like this or the other way round?
 
Ack. I voted the other way around by accident... moved a vote over to legendaries. XD;
 
right, well im back from london :)

and the results are slightly confussing haha :p

as i designed the poll in a weird way, i'm not actually sure who you all voted for


whoever, this poll was actually designed to see what people's views are

and so far, only DCM has been against legendaries, the rest of you are for them

and because the ladder is a democracy, not a dictatorship,


ALL NON-UBER LEGENDARIES ARE ALLOWED.
