Talk to your players and be open to their ideas, at the end of the day we're all just here to shoot the shit.

Honestly, more structured/collaborative roleplays can be really fun and rewarding, but if you're going to open a project like that up you have to be flexible and open to compromise.

Or something with Fairy moves, considering Dark/Ghost is weak to Fairy now.
You're not. A lot of Mega Evolutions were grade-A bullshit; the ones you just pointed out aren't even the worst of the lot. See; Mega Kangaskhan, Gengar and Lucario.
So, rumours are going around that Primal Groudon/Kyogre's new abilities neutralize their weaknesses.
Either this is Grade-A bullshit or Gamefreak really fucking wants Kyogre to be King of Ubers agin.

Nobody besides Drac now that you're back here.

Meep? Looks like I've missed a lot of things during my exam revision.
Ganon's clueless and there were OR/AS leaks and information going out. Mega Sceptile and Swampert confirmed, bitches.
Also, Nintendo's being a bunch of petty motherfuckers over the X/Y leaks and delaying the worldwide releases. It's a tough time to be living in Yurop right now.
Anyway, Primal Groudon confirmed Ground/Fire. And considering the only reason Camerupt couldn't take advantage of this typing was because it was slow as shit, this is going to be good, especially with Drought/possible return of permanent sun making that Water weakness into less of a liability.
Also, those fucking release dates. Goddammit Nintendo, really?

No-one here has a problem with doing asinine things from time to time- I mean, fuck it, I have what's essentially sapient Lovecraftian Geometry spouting snark left and right- it's just that I'm pretty sure most of us here prefer to have a relatively serious, consistent whole. Sure, we're never going to be completely consistent, since this RP isn't planned out the same way fully-fledged original works are, but we can at least try to be consistent rather than make shit up on the spot just 'cause, and at least try effectively co-ordinating stuff.
Long story short, it's not that we don't want to have asinine elements and be funny from time to time, it's just that we'd prefer the overall RP to be relatively serious and as internally consistent as possible. Shows like Doctor Who can get away with having their writers abuse author fiat, but for stuff that's less voluminous like this, internal consistency is a good thing.

My point is that Ed Woods work has stood the test of time. And Michael Bay isn't totally shite, I mean, Bad Boys was a good popcorn flick. And if you stop thinking of the Transformers films as films based on the Transformers franchise and judge them as a film about giant robots, they're also good popcorn flicks.My point is that 41 years after he died, we are still talking about his work. I don't like what Michael Bay does, but I still respect him because he has passion.And Uwe Boll... I don't really know what to think of him... Don't get me wrong, he has made some really enjoyably bad films, but recently, he's just been making bland films, like "In the Name of the King" and its sequel. Uwe Bolls has got better as a Director in recent years, and I respect that... But the problem is that he has graduated from "Enjoyably Bad Director" to "Middle of the Road Director"In the end, what I really mean is that, if 41 years after I die, millions of people are talking about my works of art, I'll be a very happy man.
Except I'm pretty sure most everyone else here wants to be remembered for more than kitsch value. If you're aiming for this kind of quality, fine, and if you're happy being mediocre for the sake of creating that specific kind of value, fine, but remember that this is a group project and you're part of a whole. Play your own game as much as you want on your own terms, but the way you're wringing this drags everyone else into that ballpark and that just isn't fair to them.
Sorry if I'm sounding like a pretentious cunt for this, but frankly? This kind of attitude pisses me off outside of certain select situations and circumstances, and this isn't one of those situations and circumstances.
