Quoted By:
>Ash-Greninja is banned from Rating Battles and VGC because it's not obtained through normal gameplay; it is also not banned from any battle facility
OK, makes sense. Even though the demo is free and still available I can see the argument.
>Dusk Form Lycanroc and Own Tempo Rockruff are not banned from anything despite no longer being available because there is hypothetically an unlimited amount as long as people who got them continue to breed them
Makes sense.
>Phione is banned from Rating Battles, VGC, AND battle facilities despite being the same deal as Dusk Form Lycanroc
Bullshit inconsistency.
The only argument I can see is that Dusk will eventually be obtainable through normal means, like Zorua and Zoroark who weren't banned from anything in BW1 despite being event-exclusive at the time. Or Phione is banned by proxy of Manaphy like Cosmog and Cosmoem, which is also retarded.
