Hi,
As most of you know, we recently freed Latias on the regular DPP latias and we opened this thread for discussion.
After 9 days of Latias in the DPP ladder and of discussion in that thread, we are opening a public poll to know whats the opinion of the community about this suspect test.
We have also asked players that have had DPP tournament success in Smogon Tour, Smogon Classic, SPL and Wcop about their opinion on this suspect test.
The goal of this is knowing what both community in general and dpp playerbase think about the latias suspect test after playing a bit with latias and after reading different opinions in the discussion thread.

This poll will be closed in 7 days.

Note that is is not about if you think Latias is broken or not, it is about if you think Latias should be suspected or not.


This is the list and the criteria we used to select the list of dpp players we have asked in the second poll:

I don't think this poll is valuable. If you would like to share your opinion please do so in the discussion thread.
Polls are a great way to gather a sense of public opinion. Most people who play DPP have a side on this issue, but aren't going to post in the thread because the main arguments for both sides have already been stated and it's not a valuable use of their time. It takes a lot more effort to draft out an original, thoughtful, and compelling post than it takes to click a button. If you want to understand what the community thinks beyond the loud and vocal minorities on both sides of the issue, this poll is a good idea. I'm not claiming that this is a perfect solution, but I see no reason to oppose the existence of a way for players to express their views in an efficient way - unless you're afraid of the result?

I urge everyone with an interest in the DPP Latias test to cast a vote in this poll.

Because the list is super, super arbitrary and polls are easy to manipulate. I have no reason to be "afraid" of anything. Effort should be a requirement in this suspect, and discussion is definitely still on-going.

Thank you to everybody who has voted.

These are the results of both polls:
public:
34.3% of people (a bit more than 1/3) opposed while a 58% of people supported the test. If we exclude undecided votes, then the numbers change to 63% in support of the suspect test and 37% opposed

Succesful DPPers who met our criteria:
DPPers that voted and support the latias suspect test: Ojama, M Dragon, august, BKC, Marshall.Law, raspberry, Soulwind, soulgazer, McMeghan, Fakes, aim, Cased, k3nan, Honor, d0nut, ToF, Philip7086, Void, Tamahome, Lady Bug, Malekith (21 players)
DPPers that voted and dont support the latias suspect test: DeepBlueC, ZoroDark, reyscarface, Energy, crayon pop, Ciele, Delta 2777, PDC, Folgorio (9 players)
70% of the DPPers who voted support the latias suspect test

We will make a post in PR soon about how we will be dealing with the suspect test after listening to community's concerns and after some talks with SS about it.

You can still use the other thread for discussion about anything Latias related.
