What Pokemon have the biggest problems with Rotom-W? Trying to take advantage of Mega Sceptile, the Rotom killer, and trying not miss any obvious ones.

Generally most physical attackers need to be aware that rotom wash can burn them. gyarados has a huge problem with it, and so does talon flame.

What are some good partners for Mega Sableye?
Pokemon capable of taking on Choice Specs Sylveon, Mega Gyarados, and Unaware Clefable make great partners for Mega Sableye, as they are some of the only things stopping an eventual Mega Sableye sweep. Ferrothorn stands out as a great teammate, as it takes on all of them, especially if Clefable is lacking a Fire-type move. Heatran is also a good teammate, as it takes on the Fairy-types, and opposing Heatran, which might by annyoing ebcuase of burns.
 
I would like to add that Jirachi and Tentacruel are excellent teammates for their ability to handle Clefable, as well as Gardevoir in Jirachi's case
 
Minor question.

Where do we discuss Mons that might move up to OU viability with ORAS changes? For example, I recall the Dragalage thread specified "Until Adaptability gets released" it was unviable in OU, but what about now that it's legal? Or Pangoro, who while not stellar, improved dramatically with tutors on top of the Parting Shot niche.

In addition to what boltsandbombers said, Pangoro still has a thread, so you could talk about it there too: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pangoro.3490017/page-14
 
Will there be a Mega-Salemence discussion on the VR sub?
Don't see a reason for that. Aegislash got a thread there due to be a very controversial suspect with even top players torn on the issue. However pretty much everyone agree Mega Salamence should just leave the tier asap.
 
Why did the Smogon pokedex/pokemon/move info get worse? I like the new layout, but some vital info got removed, i.e.:

-Summary of each pokemon's role in the meta
-Actual stat point ranges instead of just base stats
-List of counters for each pokemon
-Move calc info for complex moves such as Gyro Ball

All of this is gone not only for X/Y but for previous generations as well and I'm struggling to understand why.
