Create a Pokémon/YMMV

Broken Base: Create-A-Pokémon 11 suffered from this, with huge arguments stemming from the typing discussions.
Fan Dumb: Poorly made "flavor" arguments are made in just about every Create-A-Pokémon Movepool thread.
Hilarious in Hindsight: Rebound was a custom ability Colossoil had that reflected status moves back at the user on the turn Colossoil switches in, most people agreeing that having it work on every turn would be broken. Come Generation 5, and we have a official ability in Magic Mirror that does the exact same thing - but on every turn.
- A blink-and-miss example: On one of the issue of "The Smog", it is mentioned that Swampert will be really good if it's given the ability Damp, being a complete counter to Metagross and non HP-grass Heatran. Come Gen V, Swampert DOES get Damp; however, to prevent it from being overpowered, Game Freak nerfed Explosion (making Damp less important) and made sure Damp Swampert could not have Stealth Rock.
Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: CAP ASB was created by longtime member Deck Knight to help keep the CAP forum's blood flowing. When it was finished and gained its own subforum, it became VERY popular.
- It has now been moved to Circus Maximus, the forum games section of Smogon.
