# Format suggestions | ||
|
||
Pokémon Showdown's list of formats (playable game types) comes from these four places: | ||
|
||
- Nintendo's official VGC rules | ||
- Examples: VGC 2020 | ||
|
||
- Nintendo's in-game matchmaking formats (Battle Stadium, Global Battle Union, etc) | ||
- Examples: Battle Stadium Singles | ||
|
||
- Smogon's official formats | ||
- Examples: OU, Ubers, Doubles UU | ||
|
||
- Smogon's Other Metagames formats | ||
- Examples: Balanced Hackmons, STABmons | ||
|
||
Nintendo's formats can't be controlled by us, of course. Asking us to change them isn't possible, because we don't control them. | ||
|
||
Smogon's official formats are based primarily on [their tier system][1], where legality in formats like UU, RU, NU are based on only allowing Pokémon that aren't popular in higher tiers on Showdown. Rules changes can be discussed in Smogon's [Policy Review forum][2], although it requires a Smogon badge to post in. | ||

Smogon's Other Metagames formats, on the other hand, is the home for creative user-suggested formats. Rules changes for them can be freely discussed in Smogon's [Other Metagames forum][2]. | ||
