Forums · Should We Track Pokemon Usage?

There's some one on Smogon who keeps track of the frequency of pokemon in their RMT forums, including the total number of their appearances as well as the percentage of teams in which they appear. I find this to be particularly helpful and fascinating information, as it provides something of a snapshot of a community and can be used as an indication of the battling community as a whole.

We would need more people for this to be informative though.

Once the RMT center gets up and running that would be a cool idea. You really only need one or two people who come to the board every couple days to do it (it'snot like topics here move faster than GFaqs). Hell, I might even volunteer to do it later.

I'm aware that we currently don't have many users, but I believe the aim is to get more and become a true community....and I, at least, would find it useful and, above all, very interesting. We could even link the Smogon one. I think it is quite helpful to team-building. It could also be used in discussing tiers: a pokemon's usage can be an indication of its ability to make an impact, as people generally use what works. A non-OU pokemon who remains high in the listing for an extended period should merit another look...

Why do we even have options like #4 on our polls? <_<;;

I voted for Yes and I liek mudkipz.

Honestly, we can soon determine the frequency of pokemon in each tier, and how often they are used for our Tier List.

Yes definately. Smogon's system seems to work fine, I think we should use it also.

I added the fourth option.....just because some people might want to express their indifference in a Mudkip-related fashion, or may care too much about mudkipz to bother with the poll...

**** Mudkips.


But anyway, I don't really care, but I can see the merits behind putting something like this in place.

we should take it into account because usage is incredibly overlooked even though the tier names are overused ect
