Where the Lights Are
Aldaron and I had talked about this, and this might have to wait for a future time before it's implemented, but the idea is this.
Smogon's Analysis pages are laid out in a very misleading matter. The sets come first, which sort of implies "If you are using this Pokemon, you should use it this way". I believe this mentality is wrong mostly because taking standard sets can only get you so far. I believe the analysis should be revamped to the following format
1) General Analysis or "How to use this Pokemon" - What does the movepool, typing, abilities of the Pokemon warrant us how to use this Pokemon? For Example, Tyranitar can be used to take special hits due to his massive special defense, while its movepool allows it to do anything it wants. These are the aspects of the Pokemon we should talk about. We should be teaching the unique traits of this Pokemon, and what kind of things it can do, and how you should use it. This section should replace the opinion section, which is quite useless.
2) Sets. It should be made clear that the sets are an example of how to use a given Pokemon.
3) EVs. These sections need to be revamped, because there are a lot of important stat numbers for any Pokemon
Other than that, I don't find the need to make changes to the analysis.
