Strategy & Metagame [38-M] ORAS LC: What's Changed?

[The Avalanches]

I told Sashay that I was interested I writing about this, hoping I can.

I would be happy to move this to issue 39 if the meta needs to settle

I want to write about the new toys that LC's Pokemon have gotten. I'll explain their effectiveness and roles before and after the advent of ORAS

Intro:
- State how LC has less changes than other tiers but improved many pokemon significantly

Pokemon that changed:

Big changes
Pancham
Skrelp
Gothita
Amaura
Pumpkaboo

Small Changes
Inkay
Ferroseed
*more to come*

I'll write about how the metagame has changed around the new things they got. My battery is dying, but I can elaborate later.

I'm all for this topic, but I personally want to see the meta stabilise itself first. The threats are all known, but the mons to counter and check said threats, along with the mons who becomes more viable as a result and thus change the hiearchy, will take time to settle. Granted, the writer deadline is a little under two weeks from now, but I don't want people to analyze a meta that close to the deadline. :M

Do you think I need to bump it to issue 39 then? Another 5-6 weeks should be adequate time for the metagame to settle, I believe.

Nah, if this is approved you can move it to the workshop, just remember to mark it for Issue 39 instead of 38.

Yea, I'd say 2 weeks after ORAS release at least. Also, I recommend finding a co-writer or two to help you compile this information to make the job easier and to have more heads in on such an important piece.

This is approved as far as I'm concerned. It just needs to wait, as Bummer has already stated.
