Aren't all metas fanfiction? VGC arbitrarily tweaks the format every so often (No legendaries, two legendary limit, no Z-Crystals or Megas, etc.). We still can't use mythicals because reasons.

Having no mythicals makes sense though.

one would think that a no guard STAB stone edge alone would make that thing viable with band/scarf support and sandstorm. Guess not lol.

The "fanfic meta" insult just doesn't carry the weight it used to now that 70% of this board is shitting on official Pokemon products anyway

Nothing, but the sheer amount of inherent RNG embedded in the battle mechanics make it a suboptimal endeavor at a skill-based game. It's as absurd as playing Mario Party competitively.

Yes. GF makes their meta balanced in the first place so they don't have to keep fiddling with it. And they also don't have an obvious stall bias.

Fan works can far surpass the originals, so I don't see how fanfic anything is proper criticism. This series itself has some fan games and rom hacks that improve the games immensely.

All metas are fanfics when the main game plays nothing like competitive save for sweeping and switching.

No shit it literally doesn’t exist in the real game. Even the modes imitating ranked play on cart still have timer set unrealistically high

It's not really as strong as you might think.
Lycanroc dusk hits harder with Tough Claws Close Combat and has 110 speed to back it up.

You're right, instead they have a massive doubles bias where they would have to make massive changes to the game balance to make stall viable.

You can't use Mythicals because they're limited-time distribution Pokemon, and would thus give an unfair advantage against those that didn't acquire them.

GameFreak and The Pokemon Company like to pretend injecting doesn't exist unless it's to expose a cheater, unfortunately.
