So I've been playing for a few days, and I must say, while there are a select few pokemon that are definitely the best, there are a lot more viable pokemon in this metagame than in standard OU. Everyone I've faced has had significantly different teams with different purposes, and because of this I'm constantly learning new pieces of information that will eventually be standard. My favorite part about this metagame, however, is the set diversity. No matter what pokemon your facing, even its a bog standard pokemon like Chandy, your never sure what set they're running. Sure, if its Chandy, its probably scarfed, or if its Bisharp, its probably SubSD with Moxie, but everything has such a wide variety of options that every battle is interesting, even if its just a different coverage move, like Brick Break on Bisharp for example. The amount of discovery left to be done is promising for a broad and exciting future in this metagame.

Although this aspect of it makes the metagame a little daunting at first for newer players like myself, I cant see this discovery phase ending anytime soon. There are still 3 more generations of pokemon left, and until every pokemon is edited to OU level power, the full extent of discovery cant even begin. However, this makes the metagame look like it has an amazing future in store, as it will be new and fresh for a LONG time.
