When will they add a "Nintendo meta" to Showdown?

>Sleep Clause
>Item Clause
>Species Clause
>mythical clause (Mew, Deoxys, etc)
>legendary clause (box legends, Arceus, etc)
>Everything else is OK

It would be fun to play a meta as the developers intended to, without countless things banned because a few special snowflakes didn't like it.

If you actually looked you would have seen that they already have Battle Spot ladders on Showdown.

Not since PBR

What you want is some special snowflake thing catered to you. Not what the developers intended.

That's not 6v6

>>24745713
Nintendo came with the sleep, freeze, species and item clauses. No reason to not include them.

>you get all that shit from playing on the cart, what's the point
Everything you do in Showdown except random battles can be done on the cart

That was just like two generations ago and that's just because we haven't had a console game since. It's been in every console game since stadium.

PBR will be 9 years old two weeks from now so that's a pretty long time

It's been 6v6 since forever. Just because TPC is forcing that VGC e-sports bullshit doesn't means it isn't the default style of battling.

What are you talking about? The 10th Anniversary Tournaments were the first large scale tournaments they've had and they were all double battles.

If you prefer 6v6 singles then that's fine. If you think there should be mopre focus on 6v6 singles since that's what most of the single player campaign consists of, then fine.

Don't pretend that your favorite way to play is what was intended. Ten years of Double Battle tournaments is not a coincidence.

Tbh the smogon rules make sense to me. The only serious argument I know of is
>but it only effects a small number of players

And that's not even true. Without a proper tier list there would be an infinite circlejerk around the same 8 pokemon.

How can you dislike diversity?

Battle Spot Singles:
>Meme Sword
>Meme Ninja
>Meme Mom
>Meme Ghost
>Meme Bird
>Meme Flesh Ribbons
>Meme Chicken

Doubles:
>Meme Genies
>Meme Mom
>Meme Ghost
>Meme Sword
>Meme Moon
>Meme Waifu
>Meme Flesh Ribbon

I don't see how people can unironically dislike Smogon metas when the alternative is so much worse

No one knows because we never had that outside the start of XY.
