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.
the fact that i can't jump into the metagame despite an almost encyclopedic knowledge of pokemon movepools doesn't bode well for the playability of the metagame. AAA was great because it was had a lot of depth and niches but it was very simple to pick up since all you had to know were which abilities/pokemon weren't banned.
edit: to explain further, when i make a team for most any other metagame, i choose the Pokemon on my team, then choose a set for it. for this, i need to look up every single pokemon i want to use in a database, check two other movepools for good moves, then in battle look up what the opponent is using and try to predict 4 moves based on 3 full movepools. doesn't seem like fun tbh.
You may nominate one metagame. If a metagame has already been nominated, do not nominate it again. Check out the XY Index for a list of eligible metagames. **Metagames posted after May 31st, 2014 are not eligible for this month's OMotM.**
