If there is a user that you would like to see interviewed be sure to let me know.

-------------

njnp
most known for: "Winning" OST 12, being one of the best builders in sm ou, starting trends such as sticky webs, having the team archive good saturdays, and giving us memes such as target practice, fuck the wolfpack etc
favourite pokemon: Of all time; Darkari. Gen 7 most definitely Mimikyu
most used pokemon: Mimikyu

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself outside of Smogon?
I thought mons was life? When I'm not on smogon I'm generally working with my mother helping her biz, while she tells me to get my own entrepreneurs run through my fam... I recently these couple of mons got heavily into anime because of frens such as Mattybrollic and Ricardo and others ofc just they shoved it down my throat [pause]. I'm into sports follow most main sports cept hockey and baseball to the best of my capabilities, very into rap (6) and music in general, youtube is addicting. Also, I'm a vegan.

Where did you get your name from?
I was very active into protesting the killing spree that American police were having on African American kids/teenagers/and middle-aged men. I wasn't one of those people who just ranted about on social media. I actually went to many rallies in different states. Very into politics as well love to follow the scene and enjoy people like Bill Maher and Colbert. So yea generally in rallies the chant no justice no peace is heard. I felt it was an appropriate name for me to enter smogon with even tho it's kinda edgy as smogon user names go lol. It also is accurate of my general demeanor, it's just not best for you to fuck with me. So yea basically to avoid confusion and for the people that still ask me; NJNP stands for No Justice No Peace

How and when did you get into competitive Pokemon?
I was always gravitated to mons I can't pinpoint why because growing up my mom was anti video games (still kinda is) and never let me own a gameboy/ds until I was around 12 (ended up taking it away after a year, long story) but growing up whenever I'd hang with a dude with a ds/gameboy generally they would have a pokemon game for me to fuck with and if they didn't they were dead to me. Lol but yea so getting into competitive mons I simply was on the Android app store for whatever reason and stumbled upon pokemon online app. It seemed po was the leader in competitive mon play and it seemed fun so I downloaded the app went to the the teambuilder section and started making my mewtwo and pikachu teams. I was fucking around and was well the this is fun and but I wanna start winning and I don't exactly remember how but I did start winning after ofc getting better at building I peaked top 50 on the ubers laddered and faced a head of the infamous hellfire club on po. For people who don't no hellfire club prided themselves on being the antithesis of clans such as imp and idm. They invited be to join them and I moved away from xy ubers learning that ou was the place to be in competitive play. Hellfire Club was were I met the player who helped me alot in my progression his name is Chainy he was the least hated hellfire leader and most respected. We were in call alot and went over alot of the things and he taught me how to ladder,50/50s,doubles etc. So, yea that's how I got into competitive mons..

What’s your favourite generation of OU and why?
My favorite time to play was in xy the deo sharp Era started by Sinclair. I was just starting to get a grasp of the metagame and that team was certainly enjoyable to use. It certainly was not the most balanced metagame. I didn't mind it tho and really miss those times. There also was the introduction of megas attached to that and people trying to get a grasp of them.

What’s your favourite playstyle to use and why?
I can use every single play style effectively so I don't really have a favorite. I'm going to use the one that wins. So, furthermore. WEBS WEBS WEBS.

What are your thoughts on the current metagame? How do you feel about SM in comparison to ORAS?
The current metagame is awful. I call it "fetish-game" cause people are still losing their minds with the constant urge to just spam bp, alotstall, and webs. That's really all this metagame is with a sprinkle of bulky offenses. The thing is tho this metagame keeps changing nothing is concrete and being set along with players like myself,abr, tdk are the only ones setting trends most definitely different from oras when their a lot of new talent arising. I feel sumo is much better then oras except for things such as z moves..I enjoy terrains I like their addition to the metagame. Z moves are uncompetitive I feel they haven't helped the metagame progress but have been a detrimental. I also think the no ban of dugtrio hasn't helped shit either. I feel like sm would be a great metagame if that 3 headed monster was gawn. It's ok the community has hopefully realized it's mistake when it eventually is re suspected it will be dealt with. There are alot of more unhealthy mons then greninja like volcarona and zygarde but the council will have to quell the community and waste time suspecting greninja which I don't think is broken at all and that goes for both formes.

How do you feel about Mega Metagross being banned?
Mistakes happen. I'm indifferent now. It has let pinsir become imo the mega in the metagame right now along with giving webs an easier match up. I do not mind the ban at all. It is what it is. Maybe this will be for the best.

Do you believe that anything else deserves a suspect test in the near future?
I feel dugtrio needs to be suspected again. Nothing has changed to make it any less broken and it's clear it's still resulting in an unhealthy way in the metagame infact...one of the reasons baton pass remained good was because of dugtrio being able to trap it's weaknesses such as mawile and mega metagross. During the dugtrio suspect(best time to play sumo ou) bp was not as easy to use along with stall being not impossible to beat and manageable to be any to prep for when building. M Dragon needs to be suspected as a tier leader. The only case you could make for him being there is he's m dragon. He is a fossil and his efforts in new gens have been futile. Zygarde and Volcarona need to be looked at as well. Volcarona I feel will never be suspected because of mostly it's weaknesses to rocks and new megas coming. You still can't ignore the fact it forces you to run scarfers that have a rock move and over base 101 speed. That certainly isn't healthy when it comes to prepping and leaving you to use means such as chansey and Mantine if a fast scarfer does not fit. Zygarde is weird cause I don't feel the mon alone is broken I just feel it got a broken mon in Thousand Arrows. Their are so many different sets this mon can run coil glare/toxic, banded, dragonium z, Sitrus Berry double dd. If you don't have a tangrowth or unaware mon ur usually not looking forward to facing zygarde.

As someone who helped to popularize the Sticky Web Hyper Offense archetype, how do you feel about its influence on the metagame up to this point?
I think most competitive players would say when you go into your building your making sure you can do your best to not be weak to stall and webs. It was been crazy on how fast it has spread. It took me 2 weeks to figure out webs and it certainly was worth it trying out many different mons z moves etc and the finish products have all put in work. I don't like the other webs people have attempted with medicham/heracross it's kinda foolish when they both just lose to pinsir webs... lol but it's whatever I guess. I'm glad I was able to turn webs from a joke to a legitimate playstyle.

Who is your favourite to win Smogon Tour 23?
Windjesus, soul sucker, soul killer, Wind Blowing You Away, All I Do Is Wind. Also known as Soulwind.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone trying to break into the tournament setting?
It's not going to be easy. This isn't the most encouraging community to new comers quite frankly. I would recommend following the patterns of successful tour winners such as bloo,mcmeghan,bkc,abr etc... They clearly know what their doing and I'd say most people who enter the tour scene wanna make a name and be remember as much as tho above names.

Who are some of your favourite people in the Smogon community?
This question is bullshit. Got too many friends. Most importantly my day 1's and the G.O.O.D saturdays chat.

Finally, can you provide us a team that you think reflects your current playstyle, with a brief explanation of how it works?
I'm gonna drop a webs collage if that's fine?

uh-oh, the game in trouble
Hey great to see you get chosen this week njnp, much deserved!

What do you think were the most consequential metagame trends over the last few months and what do you see coming in the months to come?

As a VR Council Member, which Pokemon's placement do you disagree with the most?

Building on the last question, what do you think is the biggest hidden gem in this metagame?

Finally, who do you respect the most on this site, either as a builder or as a player or simply in general?

OU Leader
Salutations, polarizing figure and up-and-coming user, No Justice No Peace. Despite having a mixed array of interactions with you over the past months, I do seek your valuable opinion on a plethora of controversial, trending, and relevant topics that will be the subject of the following questions. In advance, I thank you for your compliance and answers!

Many players of the Sun and Moon Over Used metagame have utilized and employed the Sticky Webs playstyle throughout the past few months and the creation of this archetype is a product of your own teambuilding and idea. While it is clear that the increased popularity of this type of team has had an impact on the metagame, I would like to hone in on the effectiveness of this team on a consistent basis and how certain players utilize and react to the utilization of this team. Let's focus on you as you are the subject of this thread, creator of the team, and esteemed OU Player of the Week 5™. Upon taking a brief glance at your recent replays, it has come to my attention that Sticky Webs has not been treating you particularly well in recent days. This Exhibit shows you being skillfully taken down by prestigious OU player and ALMOST Smogon Tournament qualifier, Patlop2307. Do you believe that this is potentially a vulnerability in your team? Does this invoke worry in you as a player and builder? How do you react to such a battle?

As a controversial figure of the past, I'm sure you have a partially fond and partially not-so-fond recollection of the twelfth edition of the Official Smogon Tournament. Unfortunately, the tournament ended in a not-so-ideal fashion, with you being stripped of your victory and trophy due to the ghosting scandal disclosed here. Obviously, these two things being revealed to the public and the consequences of them aren't exactly ideal for you. However, instead of addressing this matter, let's address something almost totally off-topic. What did you do with your prize money, that you still got? Did you donate any to the 6god? Did you use it to fund your GOOD Saturdays project? Did you pay for twenty more Pokemon teams?

Now, I'd like to ask for your opinion on the viability of various Pokemon in the Sun and Moon Over Used metagame, if you do not mind. I will list then:
Finally, I would like you to say something positive about all of the following users:
  • M Dragon
  • Valentine
  • Finchinator
  • Gary
And I would like you to say something negative about all of the following users:
  • ABR
  • Gypsy King
  • Bloo
  • SoulWind
  • Subject 18
Thank you for your valuable time, good sir.

I think the stick webs metagame trend was the most noticeable one. Winning alot in tours from spl to ost and being constantly used on ladder. In the coming months I feel mega swampert will be highly used and I hope to be in front of the wave in regards to that.


As a VR Council Member, which Pokemon's placement do you disagree with the most?

Gengar is ranked too highly and zygarde should be S rank. Mimikyu also should probably be higher. That's it.

Building on the last question, what do you think is the biggest hidden gem in this metagame?

Thank you for your valuable time, good sir.
I figured you were a stalker of mine, thank you for confirming. I'll add this to the many love letters I recieve.

Most of the replays you showed did show me one thing, hax makes me human.

Alrighty,

M Dragon is an amazing player when it comes to old gens. You have to be foolish to not recognize this.

Valentine you recognized the talent in me and gave me the platform to not only end you but also end my doubters.

Finchinator Your friends with quality smogon member Subject 18

Gary not sure why Garys on this list he's the only genuine nice guy here, I think you added him by accident.

Can you please rank Swampert
When you stop being so amazing, maybe.

thoughts on trick room


rank drakes albums from best to worst (including so far gone)

Trick room died when mega hera was released.

I don't really like album lists but wattba is my favorite drake project. Being from Atlanta it was really lit cause I got a Atlanta city vibe because Atlantas very own future was on it as well.
 
I don't know if I can ask here, but how do you feel about your team being used by everybody in the ladder? Do you feel proud and like it, or you think people should use their own team?

I feel if you can't build just use other good teams to get a feel of what a good team is. So it does make me happy seeing people succeed with my teams but I dont like seeing my teams being used poorly. That can be annoying to watch.

Hi njnp,

Being into music, what's your opinion on Student Gobot Union?
