Suppose we were to add GSC

[t3h Icy]

I was actually considering this before since it was another great metagame left behind, but after seeing how stally most matches can be, it kind of lacks. However, we could develop our own ruleset if preferred.

First off though, we would still be primarily a community for RBY, because if we continue adding every metagame, we're simply just another competitive Pokemon community. GSC could be a side though.

Secondly, would our community resurrect itself if we added that? We sort of died in mid June and seeing how our current Summer Tournament is going, adding more content could help, or just spread our community further apart.

Third, if we do come up with a newer ruleset (I'm particularly leaning on Item Clause), our competitive scene wouldn't be fully compatible with others, such as Smogon. However, that could be inviting for other players.

If you guys are really keen on having GSC as well, we can add that, but I'd like to go over a bunch of aspects of it all together. It could be fun to learn the metagame together as we have with our RBY gimmicks. =)

GSC would be great. It's not quite as stally as it's made out to be. I think item clause is kinda lame, but I'd like to see things tried like banning snorlax or allowing celebi.

I'm learning to enjoy GSC. It's not as stally as I first thought.

Of course, it would be fun to have themed tournaments, like item clause, snorlax ban, celebi guest, etc. But I don't think we should change rules for standard accepted play, as it messes with our compatibility with the rest of the pokemon world...

Perhaps just add a little section for GSC. like this:

GSC Tournaments
GSC Discussion

i don't really care

Alright, enjoy your new board.

Before doing any novelty I think we should wait until people and activity come back. The lack of a secondary metagame is not the reason of the low activity in the forum. A new subforum is always welcome but a GSC tournament is too much for now.

Of course, but I added it for our current players.
