>>48555034>Smoggies are TOO RETARDED to even REALISE they're making a strawmanClassic! Sorry for overestimating your intellegence.
Let me spell it out for you:
>COUNTERPLAY TO SLEEPChesto Berry
>Worry Seed>Insomnia Pokemon>Early Bird Pokemon>Lum Berry>Heal Bell>Sleep Talk>Toxic orb status absorbs>Snore>Vital Spirit pokemon>RestTalk status absorber>Sweet Veil>Leaf Guard>Uproar>Electric Terrain>Shed Skin>Natural Cure>Comatose pokemon>Flame Orb status absorbs>Punishing it with Guts, Quick Feet, and Marvel Scale>COUNTERPLAY TO 6 ARCEUS>nothingTherefore, there's so many counters and counterplays to Sleep, that can fit in a wide variety of teams and strategies, that Sleep can be reasonably played around in the team building phase. Once more people get used to sleep, it'll be apparant that it's a healthy part of the metagame, by not being overcentralizing, but instead allowing a wide variety of ways to play against it, around it, and with it.
Arceus-6 has no major counters or counterplay, so it WOULD be overcentralizing.
It's amazing how speaking out against one (1) part of Smogon's fanfic meta makes smoggies think that you want to play Anything Goes.
