https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLylWdQY9Ici watched this video expecting an interesting walk through how the meta of competitive pokemon shifted and evolved throughout gen 8 as players developed new strategies, similar to any other online competitive game.
instead, a smogonfag with an annoying voice explained for 50 minutes how "the council" simply banned mechanics, pokemon, abilities, and moves until the meta was left in a shape they were happy with. the meta wasnt evolved organically, it was brute-forced by a bunch of power hungry autists that were nothing more than discord mods larping as important
smogon is truly pathetic
