Simply put, Genesect is so much better than other pokemon that it thins the format down, which is the exact opposite argument of the one that allows weather to run rampant -it's powerful but allows the use of pokemon that wouldn't shine otherwise-. Having Drizzle and Genesect in the format at the same time seems like a contradiction, but most of all, Genesect dumbs down the format. I don't really think is broken, but it has a negative impact in the choices that are done in teambuilding. A healthy meta is supposed to have variety and Genesect at 50% is obviously affecting that.

I agree with most of this, and would like to point out that because of Genesect and Deoxys-D, weatherless is currently dominating pretty heavily. That is, if I remember Antar's stats correctly.
