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.
Based on the arguments above, I think option B is the only really viable option; option A and C change up the current tier too drastically and don't preserve the SV metagame, and option D is a complete nonstarter for many reasons, some of which I've already argued.

"Previously, we’ve changed titles, as time went on, but going forward, we’re going to be using Pokémon Champions as the game that we carry into the future for the VGC".
I don't think it gets more explicit...
As I've said before, I'm not a high level player. But this fails to address the main point that they made of excluding Pokemon from the national dex format which is supposed to include every Pokemon. I have yet to see a good reason why we need to exclude the new megas (new mechanics are a...
In that case, I don't see any viable options besides adding the Champions content to the main format. As I've stated separately, nat dex should have a way for every Pokemon ever (that hasn't been banned, obviously) to be used. If this is how it must be done, then so be it. If not, then it's no...
I don't see the purpose of having a national dex section without all of the Pokemon (and, by extension, forms) available. I get not wanting to shake up the meta, but the entire point of nat dex was to give dexited mons (or mons that might never see a mainline appearance) a home. I also don't...
nowhere near qualified to give a proper answer to this but since no one answered this, I'll at least give you somewhat of an answer. Technically we don't know when they will be done with adding the new stuff (other than it will take up to about a week max per the discord). But since blunder...
For all the gripes about the story feeling rushed here (especially the Area Zero stuff) the Crystal Pool event was genuinely one of the best parts of the entire game and feels like a pretty good payoff for the game. Just hope there's more through a free update like Daybreak or the Pecharunt...
Didn't mean to derail the discussion, was just confused why anyone was saying that to begin with lol
So this isn't a one liner, how is sand faring in this meta? Ttar got its best bud back (Excadrill) but it seems like I still never see sand teams
May I ask why we're pretending Serperior isn't one of the five or ten best Pokemon in OU right now? Low ladder trash here but just about every high ladder game I've watched has had a Serperior put in work
Let's move on to something else
How is faring in the meta? Sun seems like a decent anti-meta pick (in my head, at least, I'm low ladder for a reason), especially with Hearthflame Ogerpon running around everywhere (sorry if the pic is too big idk where to find the neat little pics of the pokemon lol)
With all due respect, LoseToRU? didn't even give any constructive criticism of the metagame or suggestions of things to do outside of "just play the game lol"
