Whats in your opinion the best/most fun metagame and why? Also what do you think is the best to get invested into?

This includes current and past metas of VGC and Smogon.

I don't like any "metagame". I like the game itself.

ORAS OU because Mega Sableye is banned retroactively and so people can't complain about stall.

yeah dude i so love playing against le doubleteam/minimize spam xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Those and only allowing one pokemon to be put to sleep at a time are the only noteworthy differences between normal play and smogon play. The other rules just deal with stuff that literally breaks the game such as endless battle situations.

yeah because you can decently play smogon without worrying about team composition or dividing your team in tiers

That's even more relevant in a regular format.

If your bros are all decent but one is UU, you're far more likely to win using a team of your bros in smogonformat than you are facing off against Mega Fug & Friends in a casual no rules setting.

Smogon ruined itself with their shitty bans starting Gen IV/V, a shame since I prefer singles.

So I'm inclined to say VGC14 or even 17. Shame they're not full pokedex, but there's a sense of balance by disallowing previous generations moves and a lot of pikemon has their niche or reasons to be picked other than 'it's the best at its role'. Of course there's broken shit and a lot of things to improve, but it's way better than tipping the balance towards stall everytime possible.

I hope Morimoto starts balancing towards singles some time soon.

I think singles is already beyond fixing without a complete reboot.
