>>52445980>3% usage based on pikalyticsLittle isn't exactly true, Glimmora has seen decent usage. This goes both ways, and its pretty apparent that a lot of their stuff has been skewed towards doubles.
So thinking this sudden burst of insane hazard shit isn't an attempt to make it vaguely work in doubles rather than a sudden heaping of singles support is more likely based on previous actions. And really, as its not an important aspect; it makes sense to take "baby steps" rather than dropping a sub-legend that whirlwinds entire fields or something.
If you seriously think gamefreak has a good meta sense beyond copying previous trends; you are a fucking idiot. Basically every gen for awhile has been multiple trainwrecks that they've vaguely adjusted by the next.
>The whole point of casual modes in these games is that there's no ranking system to worry aboutYou are missing my point, casual players still like competition. Yes there are exceptions, but its a logical market to cater to. This does not mean they actually consider it a serious format.
