Tell me fellas, did gen 7 burn you out on competitive? Are you looking forward to getting back into singles metas for sw/sh?

I've been wanting to get into VGC.

Too bad my favourite style is stall which isn't very viable.

Yes. Gen 6 got me into competitive seriously for the first time after testing the waters with Gen 4 and Gen 7 took me right out

Gen 8 looks like the experience I need to bring me back in and I’m looking forward to it now that GF cleared the board

I mostly enjoyed this gen, it's hard to cover everything but there are a ton of good options to build around. Not looking forward to the SS meta, it's shaping up to be a lot bulkier now that all the insane Megas/Z-move abusers/mythicals are gone while Clefable/Toxapex/Reuniclus are still around. I'm convinced we're going to see a Pex suspect actually. If Gliscor and Chansey survive the cull they'll be gross too.

Regional dex year is often a fun vgc meta, so if they choose the right mons to snap out of the game I might actually get hype

I'm just not excited that I'm going to be punished for not wanting to participate in the early phase of VGC because it's USUM trash.

No, the games and their retardation burned me out on the games and if I were intending to buy them, this would break my desire to play them because fuck not having Megas and Z-Moves.

Can't get burnt out on something you never gave a shit for doing in the first place anon. Been shinyhunting all Gen since finishing the story in-game and had a blast.

Truth be told, I am excited over natdex stuff because it might really shake up the meta. Gen 7 was pretty bad, OU was Tapus, Gren, Pex, Lando, and Magerna by the end. All the fun mons got banned, and to be honest I get why. The lower tiers were interesting but OU was completely ass. They got rid of Ground Snake just to shake things up. It wasn't broken but it did change a lot not being there.

Gen 7 OU has been my most enjoyed singles meta so far. There has never before been such a wide variety of viable team archtypes and playstyles this generation with terrains and weather and both mega and z move gimmicks being present all at once. I'm sad it's over but glad it happened I suppose.

Lando and scarf gren did a really good job of blanket checking the meta game imo. They filled so many roles in one slot and z gren was basically the most ez to throw on pokemon of all time. I dont think either of them were broken and they were probably healthier in the end for being so splashable and being so good against meta pokemon. Fuck the tapus tho and magerna is incredibly broken depending on its set. Im gonna miss a lot of the mons desu but culling will def change OU and make blanket checks like lando and heatran and mag less of a problem for teams and some actual variety mons will have to fill the holes.

I am not sure about AshGren, but Lando isn't broken, boring as fuck, and the exact opposite of creativity. Z Move Sets are just brain dead, the concept that you get rocks, Intimidate, of the best general checks to most pokemon because of type, coverage, and speed AND you can just lure in a defensive pivot and delete it with a Z Move is anus. The mons where mostly disappointing, but the real kicker about gen 7 was Z Moves. I fucking hate them.

Same i felt like z moves just made last gens balance teams obsolete because of how much risk calculation there was. You cant tell whos the z user or what z move it was. Z lando z tran z kart z magerna and z torn were all bullshit because they killed their usual switch ins that they otherwise cant 2 shot or get threatened out by on a switch and then some z moves were just aids like z celebrate, clang, momento, z hypnosis. It gave a small bit of anti meta mons niches like kommo-o victini pZ etc but it brought way more harm than good because of how many checks were bypassed with it compared to how many mons got a niche. If it were up to me, id bring back gems, remove z moves (or atleast clearly mark who the z user was and what the z crystal was), remove ippapa berry, and remove terrain seeds. Those were the worst parts of the gen.

Gen 6 killed it. The powercreep never ends, Fairy is still fucked, and the 8 million soulless broken legends died in each game are the only things used in smogon singles formats. It’s just not been fun.

nope, I'd say gen 7 was the best best gen out of all for competitive, also wish unofficial tournaments will be kept there since pokemon DisGrace cough cough I meant SwSh won't have all pokemon

Gen 5 sucks and has only gotten worse with years of tourneyfag optimization and post-gen tiering changes.
