>>39226533>>39226611I hear that he would change nothing and that the meta would be worse without him in equal amounts.
The first is an excuse saying that he's nothing special.
The second, if any pokemon defined the meta and teambuilding that much then he'd be definition meta-warping which is just another term for broken, overpowered, or uber.
Extreme versatility can be good enough in any medium from card games to video games to sports and can warrant limitations. No idea why some people are too shallow to see something that obvious.
In a fighting game, if one character is too powerful in too many matchups, the devs will release a patch to nerf them. Unfortunately Smogon is unofficial, not that Gamefreak, who have only ever nerfed Gengar in the history of the game, are that competent.
Sadly, no one will ever know the answer because even suggesting the most requested suspect test of all time is met with mindless denial.
People have been asking for it longer than most of /vp/ has been alive.
No one is able to reason out why it's not needed, they just know they've been told it's not needed and that they should repeat that to anyone who asks.
Aren't memes great?
