       Rules

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So? You saw a shiny deck help forum and decided to click it!
       Well good but here are some rules:
       Deck help & development! And by that, we mean discussion for
       decks or ideas which are either struggling, untested, need
       brainstorming, and/or contain cards unreleased in English. If a
       deck is tested and has had some level of competitive success
       (even league level), it belongs in Competitive Deck Discussion
       (and likely already has a thread there). Otherwise, this is the
       place to post and get help!
       Any non-currently modified legal deck threads belong here too.
       Copacetic? Great! Now read over these instructions before you
       start creating new threads...
       1. Thread Titles
       Please make your thread titles as descriptive as possible.
       Do:
       Include the main Pokemon in the deck (along with set
       abbreviations).
       If possible, include some indication toward the strategy.
       (Example: Rush, Lock)
       Include a title if it is a known metagame deck (Example:
       LuxChomp)
       Don't:
       Use a title which doesn't tell readers what is in the deck
       (Example: "My new rogue deck" or "Deck for Nationals")
       2. Deck Lists
       You do not have to include a complete deck list with your
       thread, but you are a lot more likely to receive help if you at
       least include a partial list. It looks lazy if you do not even
       make an attempt to build one.
       Deck lists should be formated like so:
       Pokemon – 21
       4 Nidoran F RG
       3 Nidorina RG
       4 Nidoqueen RG
       3 Pidgey RG
       2 Pidgeotto RG
       3 Pidgeot RG
       1 Feebas HL
       1 Milotic HL
       Trainers – 24
       4 Celio’s Network
       4 Copycat
       2 Steven’s Advice
       2 Rocket’s Admin.
       1 Mr. Briney’s Compassion
       4 Rare Candy
       3 Great Ball
       4 Desert Ruins
       Energy – 15
       6 Grass
       4 Double Rainbow
       3 Heal
       2 Fighting
       Pokemon must have their set abbreviation listed afterward (and
       set number if there are two of the same Pokemon in that set).
       You can see a full list of set abbreviations here.
       Other things to note:
       For evolution lines, list the Basics first, then Stage 1s, and
       finally Stage 2s
       List cards in descending counts
       It makes the deck list easier to analyze when you group the
       Trainers by type (Supporters, Items, and Stadiums)
       3. Provide Constructive and Helpful Feedback
       Do:
       Provide thoughts and constructive criticism on some or all of
       the deck idea
       Provide suggestions on card inclusions backed up with
       explanation
       Don't:
       Appraise a deck without justification (Example: "This deck is
       lame")
       Post suggestions without explanation (Example: Posting -3 this,
       +3 that)
       4. Japanese Cards
       If your deck contains unreleased Japanese cards, copy and paste
       the translations into your post AND include the URL where you
       found them (to give proper attribution).
       Nobody wants to take the time to look up the foreign cards in
       your deck. Assume that no one will actually look up the cards or
       give you help unless you include the translations.
