Thread looks great! Thanks again for running this project!

I thought I'd spark up some discussion given OM Classic II's announcement (check it out if you haven't already) with a few thoughts on both of these generations just to get some thoughts on stuff I've seen talked about over the past few years.

Gen 7

• - I think the metagame we have had reached by the end of Generation 7 was nearly solved, but there is one thing I've seen that's been a bit worrisome almost the entire generation: Zygarde. Zygarde was pretty much the face of the Mix and Mega mechanic throughout the entire generation, and many argued it should have been banned. I think that if there is any point in the meta that I'd most agree with that statement, it would be the final version of the metagame that was played in the last tour of gen 7 and last year's OM Classic. Altarianite Zygarde is very difficult for teams to check, especially it's bulkier sets, as Return is able to threaten most checks while it can avoid a 2HKO from Slowbro and Arceus formes. On top of that, Lucarionite Zygarde is an ever-present threat that teams also need to be wary of, though I wouldn't say it is broken in its own right. Stacking -atespeed in this meta is perfectly viable and genuinely difficult for teams to check, and I'd point to Zygarde being unhealthy in that sense personally. Obviously, this is a huge discussion topic to bring up with a metagame that is no longer played, but I do wonder what people think of Zygarde's place in the metagame.

Gen 6

• - Does anyone actually think this is broken lol ?? like idek what to say it's not that good... unban this thing pls
• - Blazikenite is a really interesting topic of Generation 6 MnM, as it was unbanned at the tail end of the generation and got almost no discussion on it in the thread before the gen ended. Unless you're Highlord, this unban is very confusing to most, myself included, and I do think that it's worth discussing re-banning this Mega Stone. It's an insanely strong offensive stone and Pokemon like Excadrill, Landorus-T, Rhyperior, and others can utilize it to scary extents, though in a generation where -atespeed is stronger than ever, is Blazikenite broken?

I'm very excited for Gen 7 MnM's Cup in OM Classic, and I hope that you all are as well! I think it'll be a great opportunity for us to share ideas in this thread and help progress the meta some more!
