Hm, I'll think about it. About sleep, I never planned on banning that, it's totally part of the game. Evasion, on the other hand, I consider BS, but I might give it a second chance. Don't worry about Smogon rules, though - while I take some things from what they do, I hate their community overall. I highly disagree with all the banning crap that they do. I never found Blaziken, Mega Lucario, Aegislash, Mega Gengar or even Mega Kangaskhan to be game breaking when playing matches online. If you know what you're doing, you always have a chance - they're powerful pokémon for sure, but there's always ways in which you can defeat them. Smogon just goes like "oh, my shiny 6IV perfect nature Heatran just lost to this stupid peasant non-shiny not hacked Blaziken, so we have to ban this thing". Umm.. there, rant over. |
Well... Like I said, I do agree with many of Smogon's bans. Megakhan is ridiculously haxed, Gengar absolutely did not need a Mega, and I don't particularly care for Megawile either (Play Rough + Sheer Force). I also understand the point of grouping Pokes into tiers in order to ensure every one of them has a place in competition. I just don't like the idea of shutting down entire playstyles to further push them into limited roles and tiers, especially when someone has to rely on an certain playstyle to make underpowered or low-tier Pokemone viable against upper-tiers.
