RMT Rules: How to Post in Rate My Team

Really and truly
Just some basic rules and guidelines to how to post in this section for those posting their teams seeking advice with a few bits of advice for those who wish to help out and give advice to others.


When Posting a Team:

1) This place is for posting teams for Green, Red, Blue, Yellow and Pokémon Stadium only. That means if your team is for Emerald or Pearl or whatever, it does not belong here. It also means that you cannot teach your Pokémon attacks from the second, third or fourth generation.

2) The team you post should be complete, a full party of six Pokémon. If you’re posting it, you should be near the end of your game and don’t intend to make any big changes except the ones advised to you by fellow members. Don’t post your team if you’re only halfway through the game or something.

3) When showing us your team, use a simple, readable format for all six of them, such as
Pokémon name
-Attack 1
-Attack 2
-Attack 3
-Attack 4

Be complete: specify ALL the attacks your Pokémon has. If you're not sure about a move, put a question mark behind it or put Attack 4 / Alternate Attack

4) Please specify whether your team if for ingame battling (just for beating the game) or competitive battling (Link Cable, battling friends, competitions, Netbattle and so on) so raters will have a better idea what you're aiming for.

5) Specify if you have any common theme to your team, such as type, battle style, only use Pokémon of a specific colour or something like that.

6) Specify whether or not you can trade from other games so raters will know if they can suggest Pokémon or attacks only available in other games.

7) All Pokémon and attacks should be obtained legally, not through any glitches or cheating devices. Also, do not post teams for ROMs/emulators, as this is against the general SPPf Rules.



When Rating a Team:

1) Try to comment on all the Pokémon and attacks the player is using. If you think they made a bad choice, give them an alternate option - that's what you're here for! ^^

2) Explain why you might advise making changes, and show both the weaknesses of the team and strategies they can use.

3) Comments that say nothing more than "good job," "great team," "you'll win for sure" or "that's terrible," "you fail at making teams" will be treated as SPAM. They are completely unhelpful because they don’t actually explain what is good or what could be improved on.

4) Obviously, do not tell players to get Pokémon or attacks that are not available in the first generation or that can only be gained through cheats/glitches.

5) If you see a team or post that breaks any of these rules, please use the Report button on the top right-hand corner of the post to alert a Moderator. Please try to avoid replying to rule-breakers/SPAM. We greatly appreciate the help, and just reporting it is often the most helpful choice.




That's it! Good luck, and happy rating!
