This is the first generation I've kept a track of the competitive scene for, so I had just a couple of questions about how things would work in the aftermath of a new generation. I know tiering discussion is not on the cards, but I'm not here to speculate what gets tiered where, just wondering how it the tiering will work:
1) Given the enormous changes, is it simply usage that will drive what fits into what tier?
2) Will tier sizes be changed to accomodate new pokes? And if so, what dictates this change? I know OU got to 53 recently, I didn't catch what invoked this increase.
3) Is re-testing for lower tiers (particularly those in Uber or BL which are basically banlists for OU and UU respectively) on a case by case basis, or is there another method that takes place with the new generation?
Basically, just wondering if there's a guide, or someone with experience of what happened in the last generation, to give me a heads up for what I can expect.
Apologies if this might be in the wrong section.
