There are some things that i have felt were extremely overhyped or underated this gen such as a new mega or pokemons appearence or maybe even new mechanic changes. No matter the case this is place to post the aspect's that you felt were overhyped or underated this gen so far. An example of such post would be.....
Crobat
Who in my opinion was a pokemon who seemed really good due to the defog buff and the infiltrator buff. Also its blistering speed in combination with taunt haze and other support moves allowed him in theory to be a great utility poke. Though in practice crobat isnt actually that good due to being weak to stealth rock its self massive 4mss and lacking offenses without a boosting item.
An example of underated aspect would be....
Mega heracross
Now many peope believed that mega cross was gonna people substantially weaker or worse then
Regular cross and where that may be true in some cases such as sweeping or revenge killing mega cross is definetely a better wall breaker and bulky attacker furthermore he can break sashes too and overall was just rather underated.
This is an example of a proper post in this thread have fun posting and this is smogon's favorite cat signing off.
Edit: wow thanks guys never imagined the thread would get this much success.
