No, Gen IV was speed.

Gen VI is Priority II: Move Faster

So from what I can gather Talonflame's broken as fuck ability and le prankster keys finally caught up to everyone and now if you're not moving first every turn you're a fucking waste of space?

Pretty much. They need to nerf T-Flames ability (limit it to weaker flying type attacks) or make a move that nullifies positive priority (because neutral priority Roar would be a mess outside of Riolu) for a number of turns

Not at all. Like with every gen, there's certain strategies that get overused to hell, but there's always counter for most of them.

Physical walls like M Aggron COMPLETELY change the opponents strategy

There's only one options plebs.
PLAY DOUBLES
Jokes apart there's a lot more strategy involved and there are less smogonbirds/keys/frogs etc. After trying doubles I never went back to singles. Try doubles people.

>waah priority
The only good priority users are Talonflame, Scizor and Lucario. Everything else can be tanked. Going first is not a huge plus if you're using a 40 BP (60 after STAB) which is why the best team to run now bulky offense
>waah bravest burd
Huge list of counters, counters barely anything and is only a good revenge killer.

Come on, Talonflame gets walled by anything bulky and/or with a typing that resists it. And it's not like it's attack is that good, either. As good as it can be, Talonflame isn't the beginning and the end of the metagame.

Metagame is bulky offense with priority flying everywhere.
Entry hazards are less of a thing now. Partly because defog got buffed so now it removes hazards on both sides of the field.

I do recommend waiting for the metagame to stabilize for a bit though. It's not very good yet.

While Talonflame can be stopped, you have to always have some sort of counter in every team or else you just get steamrolled.
