So anything remotely luck based should be completely removed and purged despite this being commonplace in rpgs and settigns similar to this.
That is bull.
I get the concept behind banning stuff like double team because it has a large distribution, lack of solid counters, and just slows down gameplay, but this goes beyond preserving the metagame and just being upset that you can't completely control every single thing in the game and blame every fuckup on inane shit.
I hate those guys that complain about "durr lets bring a really weak or niche to counter *insert supect mon*, but this is just getting ridiculous.
Personnally, while swagplay is mildy annoying at best and downright infuriating at worst, it's a rather niche and limited to the likes of klefki and liepard.Yet, I still think the strategy can still be counered, and what you guys are doing is completely stripping away not only the fun of pokemon , but the fun of smgoon by turning an exciting game with limited, but still present luck into a dry chess game without the psychological intrigue.
Another point still stands, why not go further to ban Critdra, or Paraflinch?
