An interview with Smogon University, known as the authority in the competitive Pokémon arena. We spoke to chaos, and several other people from the team, who kindly answered our questions about Smogon
This was one of my favorite interviews so far. I've always had an interest in how Pokemon get placed into the tiers, and the thought processes behind managing the community.
I don't play competitively myself, as I have a strong dislike for the entry hazard mechanic, but I do occasionally like popping in and playing a random battle or two on Showdown.
Thank you very much Kalan, really appreciate your comment! I was never one for competitive Pokémon, so i'm surprised how well the interview came out :)
I'm a big competitive battling fan, and while I've always been more into the official VGC style with doubles, smogon has always been an unbeatable resource as far back as when I was in middle school over 15 years ago. I remember looking up the strategies for different pokemon and trying to put teams together long before I had the patience to actually do it in game. Really enjoyed reading this interview!
Smogon is the definitive when it comes to building any team rly. :)
For sure! I am quite blown away by all their hard work and dedication.
I used to count on Serebii but now it's just the Smog. :D
