I feel like this kind of thing must have been mentioned before, but I couldn't find it on the search.
I often find myself looking in the Strategy Pokedex for new strategies to read up on for certain pokemon. So many times have I come across the words "today's metagame." Every time I come across this phrase, I wonder when that strategy was written. I can't just assume it's talking about today's actual metagame, when it may really be discussing the metagame of half a year ago.
My suggestion: Include in the Strategy Pokedex the dates each strategy was written or revamped. This would make it so that people like me can feel a little better about trying out certain movesets, knowing the strategies behind the movesets have not become obsolete. In a way, it would give people an indication of the risk of using a moveset straight from the SP, aside from the obvious risk of being predictable.
Much luck to all of Smogon's projects!
