DAILY REMINDER
>The move Baton Pass was banned from all smogon metagames because stall was completely unviable against baton pass supported sweepers
>Smogon has one of the most poorly-moderated forms on the internet, with no accountability for mods who can ban at-will. Mods commonly use this power to stifle discussions, turn the meta towards what they want to play, and prevent warnings about pedophilia and child abuse from reaching other players
>In generation 7 the ou council assured that landorus therian would not be banned even if it reached more than 95% usage
>The smogon council is biased and bans offensive pokemon like darmanitan, cinderace and dracovish, while stallmons like Toxapex, who see much more usage in ubers, are kept
>Smogon is attempting to ban King's Rock, because a 10% chance that threatens stall is banworthy. However, Stall players winning the game off 30% Scalds is considered to be completely acceptable.
>Smogon's one suspect test to UNBAN a Pokemon is because it supports stall, and because a Smoggie "influencer" wants it to be unbanned so they could make clickbait videos
>Smogon's terminology for competitive thought (checks, counters, etc) hasn't been changed since 2005, despite the game evolving significantly since then. This language is used to express why things should be banned now, despite being completely outdated and obsolete, artificially leading to stall-heavy metas being the only "acceptable" ones because of smoggie nuspeak
>Smogon itself has been absolutely infested by pedophiles and child sexual predators for decades, with high-level and adult-male admins posing as 15-year old girls in order to get sexual conversations and photographs out of 14-year old girls,
>Smogon being biased pro-stall makes a lot of sense: longer games with less thought required to play gives you far more opportunities to groom your opponents
FUCK SMOGON
