Tournament Banned
Judging from the fact that you didn't manage to meet the voting requirements, it's highly likely that they have played the game far more than you do or at least have enough knowledge to maintain the high win/loss ratio needed to reach the requirements. All the PO glitches found so far have been fixed and are therefore no longer a problem. Also do you honestly want significant banlist changes 2 years after the release of the game like it did in D/P? To me it seems better if the banlist issue is solved early on when people are still willing to accept changes, rather than doing it years later and creating the shitstorm we had with Garchomp all over again.Blaziken is the chomp of gen 5" are you serious? Did you play with SB Blaziken for a year and a half? The game has been out in the US for a month now. 1 month. There is not even a US Dream World yet. There were glitches in PO until a few months ago, and there aren't even detailed statistics available yet! People say the community is ban-happy, but they're ban-ecstatic.
Second/Third paragraph: That is the very reason why a simple majority is not enough to ban a pokemon. Blaziken however reached a 2/3th majority which means that there is significant competitive community support behind it. Needless to say the new generation brought 150 new pokemon and a massive amount of new game elements. You cannot honestly think a certain degree of banishments won't be necessary to achieve an acceptable balanced game.
