>>55768937- Froslass is evasion clause collateral bro. When gen 5 was the current gen literally a million years ago, they updated evasion clause to include sand veil / snow cloak. But undid it in gen 6 because no more perm weather i think? lol.
- I think they bamboozle themselves when they go to play old gens for one of their funny tours, and see inconsistencies in the clauses/bans/whatever.
- They've basically been having an internal crisis since like 2019-2020 re: complex bans and policy shit.
- I don't really mind the SV sleep ban personally Tbh.
- You know they banned sleep from gen 5 at the end of 2019 I think? I know gen 5 sleep is worst but still.
- Sleep is so RNG dependent, and requires annoyingly specific counterplay, I can empathize with them hating it in a similar vein to evasion.
- They messed with past gens before, namely in gen 7 when dugtrio got buffed, then they "suddenly realized" how broken trapping is in all the other previous gens, and began gutting stag/arena trap completely from everything but gen 3 over the course of 2018-2020
- Even though they butcher old gens, I do believe they have good intentions >.>
- I only wish they did SUSPECT TESTS FOR PAST GENS! Utilizing the ladders. You could even use the ladders to test out ban ideas. I think it could be fun. But if you don't respect ladder players, only tournament veterans, that's fine, I kind of agree, but you could at least use the ladders to experiment / gather data / ideas.
- On an SV note, is there an argument for keeping gholdengo/kingambit/valiant around? Like is the idea that not only do they check each other, but they check enough other things that banning them would make the tier worse? If I was in charge they would've been tested almost first thing. If you banned gambit, you might not feel the need to drop zama either.... Temporarily removing dengo/gambit/valiant from ladder for a test might be fun to try too.
- PS sorry for reddit spacing. You don't have to reply to me
