Two months of absolute chaos as the new game hits the community, and then when things finally start looking like they'll stabilize, Bank hits the metagame like a truck shaking up everything once more. Hooray.
I believe it took four months for anything resembling tiers to emerge from the early XY metagame. This time, it seems like it will be even longer.
Yep!
Yep :)
Don't forget, you guys and gals can join our OI Channel here: http://client00.chat.mibbit.com/#oi@irc.synirc.net For live chat when the videos drop!
The Bank news is sort of disappointing, but not entirely unexpected given how unremarkable the service was on its launch. At least we can generate flawless dittos from scratch in Sun and Moon with Bottle Caps.
The delay must have companies that create cheating devices giddy in anticipation. For a whole 2 months, it'll be the only way to get your old favorite in Sun and Moon.

Wait, I remember the time that XY took at least until January or February 2014 to resemble at least a portion of OU. Will it even take until March or April at least?
That reminds me of the time that Cawmodore was disallowed from the BW CAP meta, since he was finished after pre-PokéBank XY. I wonder if the same thing will apply to Kerfluffle and ORAS. Only time will tell.

It's September, so if we're following the gameplan from the other gens, Starter evos might get revealed.
Eevee confirmed to be the Xerneas of Little Cup.
There's the rugby monkey that was mentioned in the leaks a while ago
ash-greninja might be in the games after all :)

Yeah. How disappointing.
Oranguru looks fucking insane. Telepathy mon that can let your partner repeat its spread attack? Yes please!
Catastropika is hilarious, though I'm not sure how it'll justify its use over a Light Ball on Pikachu.
After all these years, it looks like Pokemon finally gave into the old RPG trope of having 6-8 beings powering up a character into some sort of god mode. Who would have guessed Eevee would be the recipient?
Also, holy fucking shit Eevee can Baton Pass those boosts. Even on its own, Stored Power is doing competent damage.

According to the website, Instruct does exactly what it does in the trailer. It forces the target to repeat its last move, AKA single-turn Encore.
Eevee's Z-Move increases all stats in two levels. Baton Pass Ingrain getting banned in Gen VII LC incoming.
Midday Lycanroc with Sand Rush will mean it's possible I'll see it often. I don't wanna see that thing more than once :'(
