Also, who wants to try past-Gen warfare? All we do is pick a Gen from 1-4 (as 5 is very recent), and make some Pokemon from that Gen for battle.
Would you ever use a Piloswine in Gen6 over Mamoswine? Of course not! But if you did a strictly Gen2 battle, Piloswine would be an excellent addition.

What about abilities? Some made certain mons better in later gens! Simple, always go with the worse ability in that case. So you'd use Unaware Piloswine instead of Snow Cloak or Thick Fat Piloswine in a Gen 2 brawl.

Sounds interesting, but I don't think I could do it. Too much of a hassle to make sure my Pokemon are running moves to the timeline (And I can't change abilities and/or not going to use a shit ability).

Also of note, it's great for exposing yourself to Pokemon you normally would never use anyway, as with the Piloswine example.

Or maybe I just want to do an old school Gen1 battle with one of the original 151 with old-school movesets.:o



Basically all you do is select a different Gen's tab on a Smogon entry.

Onix becomes much more viable wouldn't you say?

For anyone looking to lose their sanity a little bit - Pokeball Vivillions have started showing up on GTS.

Aw man, it turns out the Poke Ball Vivillon showing up on the GTS are hacks - the real deal has a Classic Ribbon so can't only be traded through a direct trade.

This one literally is next to impossible to get. :(
