Are you saying stall is harder to build than offense? With stall you need to answer things defensively with specific mons and their attributes. With offense you need to answer mons with mostly positioning as well which is arguably more difficult to take into account.

No mechanic is objectively broken or not broken. The mons that exist with the mechanics can be deemed broken or not. Even powerful or uncompetitive moves and abilities would not be broken on sufficiently weak Pokémon. ex Arena Trap is banned in SS OU but Arena Trap Dugtrio is legal and only C-...

Is there any discussion of banning sleep in previous gens?

why is that though, we could talk about this elsewhere if needed. It’s not an “evidence” issue. It’s easy to understand what Supreme Overlord does. It’s not directly based on the properties of the ability either, simply having other broken Pokémon existing with the ability or not would decide a ban

As for King Gambit, could we ban Supreme Overlord if needed?

We should be able to hear opposing points without assuming bad intentions. “Trap” questions are designed to trick you even if you have a good argument. answering no doesn’t fall into a trap. People shouldn’t be afraid of their argument undermined by simple questions, unless their argument is...

Neither of these are reasons for or against bans. They’re supposed to counter other arguments.

Finally with responses to the survey people are not demonizing each other as during the sleep discussion.

The phrase “not sufficient evidence” is kind of a misnomer. It seems to imply a lack of understanding of what the mechanics do, even though it is obvious what Last Respects and Shed Tail do. I think the moves were banned because there were multiple abusers of the moves. If more mons with up to...

calm down, don’t take memes so negatively

you should’ve happy reacted and then communicated how bad the memes are also, does it matter if things are replicable with cart if it’s cumbersome for players to do them?

Also, the memes are pretty funny.

Only same base game mechanics, so a blank slate for a Pokémon before customizing it. Two entries would be different only if they had access to different abilities or other things. I don’t see a fundamental reason why we can’t do this? If multiple Ogerpon are broken that can be addressed with...

Allow 2 Pokémon if there is anything different between them in terms of base game mechanics? Doesn’t seem too arbitrary to me.

You can’t use both? Why

Sure

An option is a sleep rule like if 2 Pokémon get slept, you lose.

If sleep clause is removed, why should enforcing a sleep rule be a problem if you would do it on cart? It’s your choice to run sleep moves. afaik vgc has bans that you need to read and not break. The only difference is whether it happens during the game or before

just take your own advice and lay out your arguments instead of vilifying people you threw out accusations without even giving an example. You just assumed bad intentions without any evidence

give me an example where there was vilification. Actually, I can but by you
