Am I the only one who has NEVER been happy with the metagame in Pokémon?
There always seems to be SOMETHING that people jump onto in order to have "the edge" online, be it hazards, weather, or priority.
Now I am not saying that on its own, its necessarily a bad thing, but when an entire Gen will lean on these "strategies", it gets stale very fast. Creativity gets stamped out fast and it isn't fun.
I remember the developers saying that they plan on "simplifying Pokémon" next Gen, not only in designs, but also by actually REMOVING things we currently have. They specifically mentioned items, but do you guys also think they'd consider changing Pokémons abilities to sort of balance out the metagame?
I think it's pretty clear that they aren't happy with the current state of it, and they've changed abilities in the past to make Pokémon like Scolipede viable. So would they, for example, NERF a Pokémon this way? I can see Talonflame losing Gale Wings for sure.
