When posting, please use the following structure to make this thread easier to read.

Title: Copy-paste the exact question title here, and link the text to the question.
Date: Put the month and year the question was posted here.

Description: Describe exactly what an answer should include to resolve the question properly, and why the existing answer/s are not satisfactory. If the question is especially easy or difficult to update, make a note.

Priority: Low, medium or high; use your discretion. Questions with high traffic (thousands of views) and very poor answers should be given more priority.

If you update an answer on this thread, please flag the answer that reported it, so we can check that the problems are resolved and then remove the post from this list.

Please up-vote submissions containing questions that urgently need an update.

Comments contributing to a potential new answer are very welcome, but consider putting them on the actual thread for the question instead of here.

Questions must be at least one week old to be posted here.

Appropriate submissions

DO report:

• Questions whose answers are out of date. (For example, the question might ask for a certain list of moves, and hasn't been updated for recent generations.)
• Questions whose answers are incorrect, or do not contain good advice.
• Questions with incomplete answers, or answers that are too brief to resolve the question adequately.
• Questions with low quality answers (e.g. poor grammar, lack of explanation/detail, lack of referencing, only contains a link).

DON'T report:

• Unanswered questions. This thread is for questions that have answers which are unsatisfactory.
• Questions that break the rules. Please flag those questions instead.
• Questions that are not at least one week old.
• Questions with some up-to-date answers, and some out-of-date answers. There only needs to be one correct answer. If that answer is not selected as best, then you should flag it.
• Meta suggestions or reports (which are Pokemaster's responsibility, not the community's).
• RMT threads, which are discussion-oriented and have lower importance to future viewers.

Comments

Wouldn't it be better if you condense your answers in a single answer ._.

No, I’ve explained this in the post. they’re to be flagged and hidden once someone updates them, and harder to answer ones are to be upvoted to be kept on top of the thread. This is to keep things organized and clean, and draw new eyes to each individual post. It’s easier to maintain than having to constantly edit posts.

If I had an answer with 100+ links, it’s harder on the eyes. It’ll discourage people from wanting to read it. Imagine a new user doing this with really poor formatting; it’ll be just awful. And then, someone will have to hide every single comment saying “I answered this”, and edit the post. The person stating they commented it would have to be more specific about which post. The amount of edits will clog the activity feed, and the excessive comments will slow down the site. If they’re individual answers, PM can eventually delete the old hidden ones (alongside the comments) to keep things functional. Having them be hidden prevents flood in activity stream. And the organization of it will encourage people to look and answer.

Are we also allowed to mention questions/answers (mainly answers) with broken images or images that no longer exist so someone with Expert+ can remove them?

---

You should just flag those.

I changed the age requirement from one month to one week. I think that's long enough to where the typical thread will drop out of recent activity and need advertising here to be revisited.

Answer 1

Title: How much does Level 3 Title Power boost the odds of obtaining a Mark?
Date: Feb 9/23

Description: Op wants to know the exact odds

Priority: low

Answer 2

Title: What is the typical "meta" for Pokemon teams?

Date: Aug 12, 2013
Description: The only answer is highly outdated and has a lot of straight-up incorrect statements (many of which were incorrect even when they were originally posted).
For example:
1. Most teams in generation 5 onwards DO NOT require dedicated leads.
2. The purpose of dedicated leads in modern gens is usually to do things like setup rocks and prevent the opponent from getting hazards of their own, or to setup a specific weather or screens. They generally do not carry Volt Switch or U-Turn either. Their main purpose is not to scout movesets.
3. Defensive cores aren't usually fire-water-grass cores(just look at modern day OU samples).
4. Revenge killers usually carry Choice Scarf(or are very fast), not just any choice item. They usually don't "counter" threats, they provide offensive checks to them. I think the original poster has mixed up counter and check.
5. Shadow Tag Chadelure is unreleased.
Priority: Low
