>>53743315>Not banning stealth rock from gens 4/5 was a mistake.t. Charizard
Stealth Rock is one of the best moves in the game.
>Not banning draco/outrage from gens 4/5 so a shitmon like Flygon could be revered as a strong offensive threat was an even bigger mistake mistake.That's fucking retarded, even more so when you're trying to make Flyshit OU. Not only would it still be outclassed by Garchomp in Gen 5, it would also be neutered to hell since it uses both moves. It's also just retarded to ban Outrage and Draco Meteor, just because several Dragon types with insanely high offenses roam the tier.
>Not outright banning drizzle and drought from gen 5 will forever haunt them.One of the only 2 blunders here, and only for Drizzle desu. Drought is fine.
>Lol @ them letting Latios drop from ubers and forcing everyone to fun Tyranitar AND FerrothornLatios has plenty of other counterplay in Gen 5, just that Tyranitar and Ferrothorn are already good Pokemon. It's like saying "you're forced to run Landorus-T or [any good ground type] for Regieleki]
>Ban prankster? Nah, let's ban Swagger instead despite the fact that prankster carries the swagger + foul play comboNo, fuck swagger. Prankster is fine so long as you can't use Swagger. Swagger is also so heavily RNG based with no real strategy, while Prankster has plenty of applications. Plus Swagger would just be used by fast Pokemon anyways with similar results.
>The easiest way to handle baton pass by killing baton pass teams without collateral damage is to simply add a clause that prevents passing after receiving a pass, but they'd never do that because they suck off dry passing when used a U-turn.Second blunder here, but it really isn't remotely that big. Like only major loss is Female Indeedee not being able to Pivot out with a Dry Pass, and a fringe few Pokemon. Also why do you want dry passing if you hate pivot moves?
