Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Gen 5 will stay "untouched" in here until we know most, if not all the mechanics with the old and new stuff available. There also isn't a real "metagame" at this point, which makes it twice as difficult to do anything. No simulator is available for Gen 5 either, which makes metagame-building much more difficult.
