>>54888359I see from the very first point you're not interested in a discussion because you've ignored what I said. I'm going to respond to you one last time and then you can go about your day.
>the smogon formatThat does not exist. As I stated previously, Smogon is a website. The formats are the tiers. "Smogon formats" is a correct descriptor, "the Smogon format" is not. This is like the difference between saying "limited formats" and "the limited format" in MTG. It's not the same thing.
>glad you agreeI don't, you're being retarded because you feel the need to set yourself up to post "I accept your concession" or something. Tiers are a necessary evil so I can go play with shitmons. I don't get to play with the 3 mons you mentioned in OU, but I can go play any NU under the sun with like 100 shitmons that would never be worth using in VGC, Battle Spot, or OU if I wanted to actually win a game. That's a tradeoff I'll take. I prefer this to "the official format allows box legendaries this season."
>defensively favored switchfestGod forbid I have to play the game for 20 turns. Hyper offense exists too. 6 mons will by definition open up for options than 3 because then you're just rolling for good matchups with 3 good mons. Doubles are more complex, but what does it matter when the game is "balanced" in such a way that top cuts have metrics like 80% usage of a specific mon? Playing into an open field with less options means you're even more likely to default to a particular combination of mons. You're just adding another layer of matchups to the game. Considering the massive outcry over battle timers and how insane the past 2 gens have been, you are delusional if you think GameFreak knows how to balance their game. If they do, they're purposely not doing so anymore.
>balanced Megas by removing them>Greninja was never brokenGreninja was fucking insane in battle spot. First Protean, then ash against 3 mons. As for megas, you have to know how dumb that sounds.
