The Ghandi thing isn’t even a hot take.
Kinda cold if you ask me
I like Barbaracle
Glastrier is better than Spectrier competitively.
Calyrex is a good pokemon.
Mega Banette is a good pokemon.

Spartan society was completely flawless and perfect, and we need to revive it and make a modern version of it.

Skarmory looks better in 3D than in 2D
This doesn't go for any of the other Flying mons that transitioned to 3D from 2D

I totally agree, 2D animated he looks like the spongebob mocking meme, 3D he looks like a normal bird.
RBY Wrap is just a more interactive form of U-turn in high level play and it's a shame that the mechanics were changed during GSC's development. The only thing that makes it problematic is when a Pokemon boosts its Speed with it.
Mega Garchomp is actually extremely underrated; yes it may be worse than vanilla Garchomp but you aren't really using it for the same thing that you would do for vanilla Garchomp. I don't see why people hate it so much.
I am happy that a Mega Flygon is yet to be made by Game Freak, though. I have always found it generally extremely overrated, and while yes I am not fully opposed to a Mega Flygon, I generally feel that it's been overhyped to a point where I feel like I just don't want it anymore. If Mega Flygon wasn't so overhyped maybe I would've liked seeing one a lot more.
Mega Lopunny is the best mega evolution in the sense that it was actually done right. Ok, given, you could argue that there are a lot of other mega evolutions that were done right, but Mega Lopunny is the role model for what a Mega Evolution should look like in terms of how it's made.
Mega Audino's current ability is stupid. Like, Mega Audino has decent stats across the board, why did GF have to ruin it by giving it a super poor ability?
Gen 7 takes:
Mega Metagross: Do Not Ban
Pheromosa: Do Not Ban
Zygarde: Do Not Ban
Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade have the best shinies and there is no way in heck you're convincing me otherwise.

my heart is about to freeze and then shatter
Honestly curious how Lopunny is an ideal mega though. It ignores unique things about the base pokemon, looks... fine, and is obviously minmaxed in stats/ability to force a competitive niche onto it. It's fun to use and unique, and I don't think it's bad, but I also don't think it's solidly in the top half.
War Incarnate what would you vote ban on
