Wow. 18 pages of an absolute shit-storm following Houndstone's ban.
As a part of the agency myself, I can see why people reacted the way they did in the comments of blunder's video, and also in this thread. However there's no need to be a dick about it. Basculegion will undoubtedly be quickbanned within 24 hours of Home's release, but the question is whether we should ban Last Respects the move or the Pokemon themselves.
This is my proposition to the council, and they revolve around the NFE Pokemon, Basculin:
Option 1: If Basculin is found to be broken with Last Respects, then Last Respects the move should be banned. Drop Houndstone and Basculegion out of Ubers.
Option 2: If Basculin is found to be balanced with Last Respects, then Houndstone and Basculegion should stay in Ubers.

Dracovish in Generation 8 would not be broken without Fishous Rend.
Yet the council decided to ban Dracovish the Pokemon.
Why? Because banning Fishous Rend is unnecessary collateral damage to Arctovish.
Zygarde in Generation 7 would not be broken without Thousand Arrows.
Yet the council decided to ban Zygarde the Pokemon.
Why? Because banning Thousand Arrows is unnecessary collateral damage to Zygarde-10%.
Based on the precedent Smogon has done with their tiering in the past, the smartest thing to do is wait until Pokemon Home comes out and see if Basculin is found to be broken, even with Last Respects.
Banning Last Respects is not a complex ban. You're just banning a move.
If this is still too hard for you to understand, then I'm not sure what to say. I kept this post as simple as possible.
Thanks.
