As far as I'm concerned, any complaint about process in regards to the Volcarona ban was just an excuse to whine about the ban itself, just using an argument with a veneer of legitimacy instead of openly whining. The ban was entirely normal and within what the council has done in the past. There was an obviously dumb and broken Pokemon, a community survey was put out, and there was support, so the council quickbanned it. Simple as that- I don't think there's any argument to be made about "rushing" or the council "not letting the meta develop around it."If this is your recollection of the response to the Volcarona ban, then -- to put it bluntly -- you are recalling it very wrong.
People are always going to be upset at every ban. You can never please everyone. Hence why I said concerns about the process, rather than opinions, are what resonated. Plenty of experienced players with knowledge of tiering believed there were better ways to handle it with less rushing. This was not just charizardfan12 being salty lol
It's the same awful argument people have been using to defend Baxcalibur lately. The Pokemon is objectively broken, it was rightfully banned, and they need to get over it. We can all tell they're not actually arguing about the process and we all know that if it hadn't got banned, or if a Pokemon they disliked got banned, we wouldn't be talking about the quickban process whatsoever.
