If Deoxys isn't available via Crown Tundra alongside all the legednaries, then it's still a mythical in my book. They already excluded it from USUM even though it would have been an easy choice for Ultra Space. Also, these placeholder version index numbers already existed in ORAS. It was pretty...

Go's PvP is only 7 months old, but they promised the feature from the get-go. I am not interested in PvP in this case since the likely prospect of battling a copy of one of your Sync Pairs, is rather irksome.

Maybe there's a cap that is only applied in PvP. I doubt it, though, especially as the boosts you mentioned didn't require nearly as much effort as candies will. I wonder how these values are handled for the AI's teams. All zeros except for the special trainers? The trainer data doesn't...

I'd personally prefer an RBY-based format with 63 AVs across the board. 0 AVs sounds too fast-paced to me.

ORAS had its Megas promoted for five whopping months. As for XY, it made sense for Mega Evolution to be kept a secret until two months before release, since there had been plenty of new content to showcase in the previous three months. With USUM... That is obviously not the case.

Again, look at this post where I compared the current wording to the one from July 2015. Only the latter made it clear that the ruleset would change on January 1st of the following year. There is no reason not to offer that clarfication this time around and people have every right to be confused...

I've just noticed the "they might be pushing the games back and we just don't know yet" part. Pokemon games with a confirmed, specific release date don't get delayed. USUM of all games being pushed would be beyond weird, especially when 2018 is being seriously considered for the first Switch games.

I am sorry, but I don't see why they'd have to mention the new banned Pokemon at all when they could just say "this ruleset will be updated in 2018." Not to mention that they could have just mentioned the current banned legendaries by name.

The wording is specific about only USUM being eligible: "Only legitimate versions of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon can be used in Play! Pokémon tournaments. This includes game cards and downloadable versions of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon." USUM's new content is a separate point from what I'm...

So it made sense to state that XY would only be used for 2014, and it is somehow justified to lie about SM being used in 2018? You lost me again. If anything, it's the other way around... I see no reason not to take the information at face value. Now, whether or not this means anything for...

You lost me at "USUM seems to not be coming out early 2018." I assume you meant until, but there is no reason to doubt the confirmed November release date just because we haven't had news yet. Three months is plenty of time for this kind of games. So with that said I don't see any reason not to...

XY were used in late 2014. Here the wording is about 2018: They have specific 2018 dates and everything. Compare that to:

The VGC ruleset for next year has been announced. What's the deal with still using SM and the Alola Pokedex? It seems to suggest that USUM will barely change anything and that they don't want to force anyone to buy them... Sticking to the same 300 Pokemon is odd regardless of USUM.
