Guidelines For Posting An RMT
An RMT is designed to enable an individual to share his or her pokemon team with other pokemon players. This can be for a number of reasons; Either the person thinks the team is bad and definitely needs improvement, or it's good but could still improve, or it's just awesome and you want to share it with others. Remember, two heads are usually better than one.
When posting your RMT's please keep and mind that the people rating your team are doing you a favor. The least you can do is make your RMT presentable to the person rating. Here are a few guidelines that you can follow to make the RMT process more enjoyable for everyone involved.
1. Make your format readable. If the format is messy and causes people to have headaches you are not likely to receive any help. Here is a sample format that you can use:
Pokemon @ Item
Ability:
EVs: (Please include the numbers. Do not post things like "EV'd in Attack and Defense")
Nature:
- move
- move
- move
- move
Keep in mind that this is an example and it isn't set in stone but it makes your post much easier to read.
2. You should include pictures. This isn't necessary but it definitely makes your thread look cleaner and more enjoyable to read.
3. Under every pokemon, you should comment and leave your opinion of that pokemon for everyone to read. This helps any rater understand your reasoning behind that pokemon.
4. Use good grammar. It doesn't have to be great, but it definitely helps if everyone understands what you mean.
5. No flaming. When you post a team you have to realize that people will be criticizing you. If you cannot take constructive criticism then you have no business posting a team. You can explain to people why you are using a certain set etc, just do not flame people for it. The only way for your team to get better is by having ideas thrown around in this fashion so it is okay to disagree with somebody. Just do not go all out on that person.
6. If you want to, additional features such as colors, bolded or underlined words or other images are always welcome and improve the quality of your RMT. This isn't necessary but it is important to remember to have fun writing your RMT. If you're not going to have fun writing it then you really should not waste your time.
