Just want to point out that the best and most knowldgeable BW player of all time voted to ban nothing, with banning gems being his lowest ranked option.

Reminder gems were fine for 12 years and this is only happening because nu gen players can't build and just spam the same boring reuniclus spikes teams which happen to be weak to literally any gimmick out there. At this point they'll ban abomasnow in a few years kek

I never thought I'd say that but we need to go back to the original BW OU
before all complex bans bullshit
and then rebuild from there.

We have to revert to 2015. BW was meant to be a tier dominated by bulky offense. There's enough tools to account for everything in the builder but shitty ORAS players wanted to force optimised balance structures which can only do 1 thing right and lose to literally every gimmick the tier has

Yes, spamming specs Keldeo and Thundy-T thunders while being forced to run three fucking checks for Latios is soul.

Disgusting.

Reminder people who voted to ban gems and Cloyster spam teams like Tyranitar/Reuniclus/Gastrodon/Skarmory/Alakazam/Gliscor with NO ICE RESISTS WHATSOVER.
In the discussion thread finchinator talked about Heatran not being able to check Cloyster due to gems existing. FUCKING HEATRAN who gets smashed by Razor shell anyway

Good the things were oppressive.

Now they just need to ban paralyze because of how luck based and uncompetitive it is and then meta will better balanced.

Cool, so I guess we can just never use gems in competitive ever again.

He's been on the forums since he was 13 and they've groomed him into their leader. Now he's the head of the OU council and is pretty much the one who gets the ultimate say in how the meta is played.
Think of him like N, except somehow even more autistic.

Thinking back on gen 5, I was a retarded shitter when it came to comp teams but I remember one time striking gold building a team a team that carried me to 1800 elo (I'd normally have 1300)
As far as I can remember, I had T-tar/Gengar/Latias/Heatran but I can't for the life of me remember the last two pokemon. I just had fun fucking people over with sand/burn/confuse ray/magma storm.
What two mons would have likely filled the slots?
