Hi people, as you can see, I'm relatively new, so if this thread is placed in the wrong forum, do forgive.
However, here's not what you opened this link for, back to business
As you all know, 5th gen. OU is defined by weather, often the person with their weather inducer surviving longer than the opponents win the match. This is because there are permanent weather inducers that include, but are not limited to: "Abomasnow, Tyranitar, Politoed, and Ninetails" Therefore, almost every team out there contains one of these Pokemon, either to bolster their own team, or to counter somebody else's.
But, what if there was no permanent weather in 5th gen. OU, what would be the new aspects that would come? Perhaps there would be more prominent use of pokemon such as Thunderus or Scrafty, who are weak to all kinds of weather, less usage of Pokemon such as Ludicolo or Excadrill, who depend on their respective weathers to function properly.
Although this idea may seem absurd to some, I think it's a fantastic idea. It brings a completely new aspect to the 5th gen. OU tier as we know it, and could be a way for people to try new tactics. Overall, it'd be a new, and possibly better, metagame than the one we know now.
Please state your opinions!
