What is Rose Red/Iris Blue?
With the title a symbolism of an old generation budding anew, RRIB aims to make EVERY fully evolved Gen 1 Pokemon viable in the OU metagame.
Whether it be through slightly buffing stats, a small movepool addition, restoring a learned move from a future generation, or the very rare revamp...
the idea is to keep near every Pokemon's identity and playstyle intact while making it a suitable pick for competitive play!
This tournament will feature the RRIB metagame in an attempt to incentivize metagame exploration and potentially expose some future balancing
points. Additionally, the top winner will be awarded with a $50 Amazon gift card as well as a placement in the Hall of Fame, located in the
metagame thread. Also, the metagame is just really fun and there's a load of resources. Sign up for the RBY revolution by August 4th!
