Hmm, not 100% sure where to put this... I may be a little early to be concerned about this kind of stuff, but might as well discuss it.
Since as Heart Gold/Soul Silver info is flooding in. There may be a number of pokémon shifted around the tiers and that could pose a problem for the statistics of this quarter and thus result in an "inaccurate" tier list that would not be completely reflective of HG/SS's early metagame.
I have a couple ideas...:
Now another concern of mine is Suspects... (I'm looking at you Nasty Plot Miss Mage)
Since we kinda just got done with Stage 3 testing when (if needed) are we going to need to do a lot of (re)testing? I know I'm probably asking wayyyyyyyy too early, but I know some people may be looking to try to get something nominated as a Suspect when the metagame isn't even stableish and that could mean more work on our part that might not even be needed.
Just shooting some speculations and ideas out there. Again, I apologize if its a little too early to bring up, but I think its at least something to keep in mind.
What do you guys think?

I have a couple ideas...:
- We could end this current period when HG/SS gets added to Shoddy (or perhaps some arbitrary time period like Sept. 15, 20, 25, etc.) and we could have a seperate list figured out for HG/SS after October ends.
- We could end this period early, but instead of figuring out the post HG/SS tier list after October we could figure it out after the end of the year. This would let the various metagames settle down and give us a better idea to how the metagame will pan out (and it would be less work than my first idea).
