Echoing Rey - Species and Sleep are the only "necessary" clauses at the outset of Gen V. We are trying to ban as few elements of the metagame (Pokémon, items, etc.) as possible, so the best place to start is at what everyone agrees upon. We can then work outward from those 2 clauses, holding votes along the way concerning any further bans. The voting process is still undetermined, but this thread is about the clauses themselves, so I'll stick to responding to the OP. Let's give people on all sides (although so far we seem to be in agreement) a chance to voice their opinions like Phil said, and then we can have a poll here to determine Gen V's initial bans. Honestly, I don't think this will be much of a hassle, since it seems practically unanimous at the moment to start with Species and Sleep but not Evasion or OHKO.
