DPP OU Threat List
Well, sandshrewz noticed there's no DPP OU Threat List, so we figured we'd change that.
A few rules / general guidelines:
Now, on to the Pokemon you can reserve:
If any DPP approval peeps (It's not QC? Not sure what you're called >.>) feel a writeup is not up to par or flat out incorrect, feel free to inform me or the writer. If a Pokemon on the list deserves to be removed, or one not on the list deserves to be added, just let me know. I based this off of all the Pokemon that have DPP OU analyses (besides Kakuna, lol), so it should be accurate, but you never know. Also, if something is only listed as offensive or defensive, and happens to be both, just tell me and I'll change it up.
Each writeup shouldn't take too long to do, so please don't procrastinate. I can understand wanting to test out a set or two to get reacquainted with how the Pokemon works, but these aren't analyses and don't require a huge amount of work. Obviously, only reserve a Pokemon you've played with and feel comfortable writing up in a timely fashion.
Finally, that great Komodo quote:
Well, sandshrewz noticed there's no DPP OU Threat List, so we figured we'd change that.
A few rules / general guidelines:
**PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT ME TO REALIZE WHEN YOU EDIT YOUR PLACEHOLDER. I really have no clue, notify me in some way. Whether it be on IRC, PM, making a seperate post with the actual write up -- whatever. This only applies if someone posts between the time you make your placeholder and the time you are ready to post it, however.
1. Post to say what you are reserving before you start writing. Don't just post a bunch please, you may be working on something someone else is. This goes for everyone, don't just PM somebody or say something on IRC without a placeholder.
2. Try to limit the number of Pokemon you are reserving. Two is probably a good guideline, but if you know you'll get them done in a timely fashion and have a good reputation within C&C for doing work then you can perhaps reserve some more. There isn't really much need to have 10 reserved with none actually posted though, it just slows it down as less people are able to help out. Also, you have one week to finish writing from the moment you reserve. Come on, it's a paragraph. It can't be that hard. If after a week, it remains unwritten, I will mark it as Unreserved again. If you request an extension from me(with a good reason) I'll give it to you.
3. Suggestions for other Pokemon to include are welcome. If you think a Pokemon that is not on there is worthy just post why in your reservation post.
4. This one may seem a bit harsh and/or obvious, but please don't post if you don't know anything about DPP OU. It's great if you want to help, but the quality is a lot higher if you have a large amount of metagame knowledge. Don't worry, I'm not too picky. If it is accepted you will simply be added to the OP, I will try to only post after quite a few updates or a rejection. Please do not expect a post accepting every reservation.
5. Please do not grammar check these until they are done; they still will have content revisions most likely. Also, the main priority is to get the writing done for now. Organization within the threatlist will be taken care of later.
The Pokemon that are up for grabs / taken are listed below. If a Pokemon is taken I will update the OP with the name of the person who has it reserved in bold (Vaporeon - Jellicent, for instance).

Finally, that great Komodo quote:
Komodo said:guys, can we make this sound more like a threat list, and less like a bunch of overviews. The whole point of a threat list is to stress WHY a Pokemon is threatening, not what's bad about it. Why would we make a team to beat a particular Pokemon if you're going to say 'it has poor Special Defense'. Say what's GOOD about a Pokemon you're writing about, and why it makes an impact in the tier. Telling us its flaws isn't going to help us that much, because we need to know what it can do, and why it does it well. I'm not saying to show off about a terrible Pokemon, but make it sound as if it's a positive, rather than a negative. Use this as a guideline, because THIS is what a threat list is supposed to look like.
