I think they realized that its easier to balance a metagame of ~60 pokemon then a metagame of ~300 (only including final evos)

Gee, it's almost like the Smogon format is terribly unbalanced because the game isn't meant to be played that way

>not that good in 3v3

Thats where it shines though. But its deadweight in 4v4.\, then again can you imagine this thing in game? its going to become everyones favorite pokemon after seeing how good this motherfucker is.

>uh oh, this guy has a pokemon that is several levels higher than mine
>guess I should use blaziken and rape its shit

And then everyone used only blaziken and nothing else because its that good.

3v3 doubles I meant.

Plus it's safe to assume every starter will have a mega form.

Why IS doubles the official format anyway? There are barely any double battles in any of the games. They're little more than a novelty, and triple battles are even less supported. How did doubles become the standard?

Because it was too strong for OU but not strong enough for ubers.

considering that Mega Forms last until the end of the battle, you're probably going to have to spend a turn just transforming them, right?

because double battles are so much shorter than singles and this fits official tourney settings better because of how many games must be played. Theres no question that singles is otherwise preferred by almost everyone, game creators included. Singles was originally the official format, but was changed because time restraints.

News Flash: advanced forms can have different stats and be useful in different ways without making the other one useless by comparison

Also, they'll all end up in Ubers anyway, so who cares

blaziken is great in Ubers.

Also I really hope you don't actually believe what you are posting. Gamefreak gives -1000 fucks about smogon tiers.

Sorry I haven't been on today, where was this confirmed? Do we know if there's any requirements to being able to transform yet except holding the stone?

VGC standard also says that only pokemon from the Unova dex are eligible and Pokémon from the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh Pokédex can suck shit.

Hahahaha no

There is no extra skill required for doubles. The only difference is that doubles battles last 5 turns while singles last 20.

It was just seen in the trailer a pokemon transforming and then attacking.

Nothing known other than that, really. Of course it could just be editing in the video, who knows.

The format is much more balanced with a much more eligible range of pokemon however

That's this VGC, do you really think VGC hasn't existed in the past? In other generations?

The entire point is Blaziken is only broken in singles. Doubles is the official format and also more balanced in general. Therefore Gamefreak doesn't give a fuck and there's nothing wrong with making Blaziken stronger.

Mewtwo is fucking raped up the poopchute in modern Uber tier, and Blaziken is too weak to actually be in that tier at all.
