>>32549334>10+ non-legendary Pokemon are somehow capable of centralizing the gameplay in the same way Garchomp didUse your brain, my man.
Garchomp was only ONE mandatory Pokemon, but when you have 10 guys who are all DA BES by a wide margin, that leaves no room for other Pokemon to do anything but be shittier versions of those guys and get totally assblasted by those guys.
High ranking teams will always be made up of configurations of those same Pokemon, barring extremely rare rogue sets. Just look at any recent Pokemon championship (which don't allow "major" Legendary Pokemon or event mons, regardless of how shitty they actually are).
This is what a world of no bans looks like.
Granted I only play on-cart, not a Smogonfag. But I get why they do it.
