So, a question - With Gen IX effectively complete, who're you guys favourite of the new mons? Feel free to give your reasoning.

Nope. Darkrai wouldn't even have been in VGC, because Mythicals are automatically banned.

Darkrai is the Porygon of Competitive Pokemon. Unfairly persecuted by the actions of a completely separate mon (Smeargle/Pikachu), and forced to forever suffer because of it.

Well, you know the definition of insanity....

I genuinely imagine GF is just unaware that Defog is even something noteworthy to begin with. Hazards are barely used in VGC, so to them Defog is just a random evasion debuff move that was a HM in Gen 4.

So, just jumping into the thread - What's the current list of ban candidates looking like?

Best part is that, while most of that is technically hinted at, nothing hints at it needing to be nicknamed. It might very well be an oversight.

Clearly in the rumored Unova game we're going to unlock Meloetta's true form by playing the entire playlist of the Vocaloid collab why doing a highly choregraphed dance on Mt Kilimanjaro.

Very, very nice.

The manji is not the swastika. To suggest such is genuinely offensive. Also, Jynx is most likely intended as a fairly grotesque caricature of gyaru culture grossed with a yuki-onna. That accounts for the blond hair and black skin. So yes, it was intended to mock.

Honestly, this is probably one of the most exciting parts of the new stuff.

You forget that the game itself explicitly points out that the time machine is not the whole story, since as Arven points out Heath witnessed the Paradoxes centuries before his father/mother performed their experiments.

Guys, there's never going to be a custom battler tool. Like it or not, GF wants training to be part of the experience.

To explain Pechurant's stats - 88 is an important number in Buddhism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty-eight_Buddhas_Great_Repentance_Text

Penny's team is LOL.

It's a dance thing. Gardevoir has been associated with graceful dances in the past (see Pokken).

Mola has Pain Split...

The banlist this DLC is going to spawn will be long, isn't it?

Confirmed, Weavile and Meowscarda get Triple Axel.

So can someone recap the current meta situation? Because it genuinely seems like we're going all over the place right now.
