Well I personally want to see it there because DPP Ubers is the most broken metagame in the history of pokemon, broken to the point where pretty much nobody plays it anymore. I haven't played on the ubers ladder for a week and ive actually gone up a few rankings. Arceus would shake things up and might actually encourage people to play on the Ubers Ladder, and since there really isn't any reason to ban it (nintendo doesnt let us use it yet....so how does that impact us again?) I figured that this might be a good start. That's just my reason for agreeing with this thread, I am personally not very adamant about it since there are so many other things that need to get fixed with the tiers right now its not even funny. I can see the arguments against keeping it banned, but I really don't think they are as big a deal as people are making them out to be. If I wanted to wait months or even years to use Arceus, I would buy a DS and a cart and not use ShoddyBattle.
As far as I know, this isn't a "rush this through" thread even though it should be, its more of a "why the heck are we doing this" like the OP in my NFEs thread.
Also, I'm not sure why a sudden interest matters whatsoever, or if the interest was even sudden- I've been wondering why this ban existed since it started. In RBY, Mew could only be gotten through a glitch...but didn't we still allow it in Ubers play? What is the difference here? It's not like Arceus is fake, we know it is supposed to be in the games, we know exactly which moves it has, its ability, its stats, its sprite and pokedex entry, etc.
We've gone to great lengths to make sure that Shoddy replicates in-game as much as possible, even going as far as to place the IV limitations on legendary Pokemon. It just seems a little counterintuitive to say "Yeah, we'll replicate the game when it comes to [this], but we don't really care what the game says when it comes to [that]" which is basically what we'll be saying if we allow Arceus.
We already do this in many areas. We ban evasion, we ban
Lati@s, we've invented our own metagames based off our own tiers, I don't see how allowing a pokemon that is obviously in the game at the present time is too far of a jump here.
