Why doesn't Game Freak just hire Smogon to balance their metagame for them? They obviously don't know how.

Too much change and time involved in balancing a metagame and forming tiers.

Cart babbies wouldn't know whats banned and would complain they can't use their precious Mega Kanghaskan but that Landorus-T is allowed.

Tbh the meta in OU is really balanced atm.

It would require including 6v6 singles battles, no time limit on the Battle Spot and make it the official tournament type. Also balancing is just taking sections of Pokemon and grouping them together, then adding limitations. Some Pokemon still rot at the bottom of the pool and others live in BL limbo. "Balance" would mean making every Pokemon or family have at least one viable set.

Game Freak and Smogon cater to entirely different battle types. Smogon heavily focuses on 6vs6 singles, while Game Freak has 4vs4 doubles.

Swagger is uncommon, no mega is broken in doubles, Dark Void Smeargle only works against shitters and Knock Off isn't common outside of Bisharp

Game Freak can't fucking balance doubles either. At least with Smogon you have tiers so weak Pokemon can shine in lower ones.

Yeah, look at the CAPmons, they're soo balanced, specially when you put in mind they're like 15 and each of them had like a month of work.

I play Battle Spot triples on cart, so only the people who use the "smogon typical" teams use Protect. Is Protect really that common of a move in doubles and singles? I mean hold shit, every Pokemon you see seems to have that move as long as it isn't holding an assault vest.

As a matter of fact I never even said anything negative about Smogon, but if you think a fan made ruleset has ANY chance of being in the real game you are retarded

It's massive in doubles, since it lets your other Pokémon remove a thread that would kill one of your Pokémon. I imagine triples would be the same.
In singles it's mostly useless, only used by Toxic/Leech Seed stallers, and things like Blaziken that get a boost during their protect turn.
