Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The thing is though, you are turning Greninja's no ban argument against itself by supporting predictions.
Having to force 50/50s while determining Greninja's moveset is NOT an effective anti-ban argument. All it does is prove how unpredictable Greninja is.
If you are to say prediction is needed...
Honestly, this whole Greninja debate is biased and unuseful.
I'm not trying to sound upset but I am as many people who are posting are putting one liners or simple "no's" to valid arguments.
Relating to Greninja, I'm saying that we BAN THE FROG.
It has no offensive switch ins. Now before all...
Hollyyyy crap.
My bad. Forgot Scrappy as soon as I mentioned it.
That definitely deserves a neck.
Refer to my previous post of me deserving a neck for that second statement.
But also refer to MuhFugginMoose's post about Mega-Lopunny as well.
I'm not as well spoken as he is on the subject, but...

Here's...
I guess it's just my experience with it that really makes me not see it as broken.
Personally, I understand all your arguments with it as they do make sense, especially Prof. Almeida, regarding it being too strong for singles.
I have just really never had trouble with it, but that just may be...
Klyn, I meant his speed was god awful and his bulk was merely adequate respectively.
And of course some teams may have to sack a pokemon. No team is built specifically for every threat. To me, that's what competitive battling is about.
Why is everyone talking about stall-breaking Skarmory/Chansey and a possible suspect of Charizard-X?
Let's get back on topic.
Mega-Mawile, although a massive threat that no one wants to switch into, is NOT worthy of a ban.
Now before you go and think "Well, nothing wants to switch into an...
