I JUST now realised why they probably did this, aside from making Bank a more important thing then it already was.
You know how everyone was complaining about the powercreeck and how if you weren't fast, you're better off doing something else ? And how Megas only made the situation worse ? Yeah, this is it, this is there way to "fix" the meta. In VGC, we all know that only the regional dex is allowed in the first year, but afterwards the National dex is allowed and everyone from the Genies of the Healthy meta to whathever busted mons from all 721 (until now) can participate ? Well, since SM technically don't have a National Dex, it means that only the mons in the regional one will be allowed in every VGC competition until next gen of games drop.
This is probably why they made everyone so slow and nerfed priority to the ground, they are not planning on letting anyone from pre - Gen 1 to 6 that aren't in Alola's dex in VGC. They want to make there own "new" meta with what mons we have now.
So this is it, this is there way of fixing the meta and the powercreeck, by making the Nat Dex a permanent feature of Bank, all games from now on won't have it and only the mons from there regional dex will now be allowed in VGC. So this means we're stuck with our new Alolan friends for the entire duration of Gen 7. If they make a remake this Gen like DP then we could expect there Regional Dex allowed in the format as well, but that would be it. And a year later, the box Legendary will also be allowed.
I'm not sure if I should feel good cause at least this way everyone from Alola is getting a fair chance in the format or hitting my head on the table of just how much of a LAZY excuse this is for balancing things.
