>>55757691He just got embarrassed by the fact that although I used the Smogon formats button as the OP image, the question in of itself doesn't directly relate to Smogon as officially there have been just as many formats that limit moves or species which would certainly not make it "fanfic".
>>55757869I genuinely do not like Smogon due to having to deal with their bans during my time as a TO. When we would review our format, we would periodically have to adhere to a third party that we had no affiliation with.
>hey everyone they banned X so we should as well>why?>because... we just have to, okay?This is the main issue I have with it, some things are smart but other bans are just because one player in the council lost to a certain strategy and didn't plan on having an answer for it. In fact, the weird thing that the official format lost the Sleep Clause but Smogon gained it is completely back asswards.
