So hi guys, I’m back, but this time for a very unusual and
brain-melting-ish thing here, so as you see from the title I’ll be putting
forward my thoughts and it has been like a n hour or so from which I am writing
this up after reading through the rules and yes I am still freaking out by what has happened. On a post in
PokemonForever.com I made a prediction rules post, where I wanted the legendaries
to be allowed again, and well that has summoned. It had a much bigger impact on
me than I thought it would. So let’s get into what I think:
A New Format:
Yeah we finally got what we were exicted about the rules of
the new format; what are these? Legends allowed! TB 2010. Well not all legendaries,
as a group all the legendaries hat are not available to catch in the games or
are event exclusive are excluded from the list that VGC 2016 players can use
up. This brings up a lot of new possibilities for the new format I was really
feeling down and broken at first but just wait for a meta-scale to get set and
then I’ll reign supreme. Well I might but not RN. My first reaction to the
ruleset was when Katniss hears about the Quarter Quell happening, OMG this was
really freaky at first but for now I’ve settled myself down and looking at it
positively.
Rising Trends:
Seriously I called some of these things out before they even
were a thing. Things like power herb geomancy xerneas are on showdown right now
being spammed everywhere. How could their not be weather wars in the format?
Each team might have the variable for the 2nd legend slot however
each team is having weather wars! Like how crazy is that! Also I can see
increase and more cresselia thundurus combos mainly related with how they turn
around weathers and how do they stop the ever-growing set-ups. Some other
things I see coming are mega-mewtwo-x who are basically made to counter
kangaskhan, with it’s usage at rise mega-mewtwo being the fastest mon might be
able to take it down easily.
Meta-Meter Shifts:
Last season was like a bulkier format and it went even and
even bulkier as we came near the end of the season, by which I mean
post-worlds. Most of the teams in this format were super bulky and very hard to
take down. Now with the complete change the rule-set for 2016 brings I can see
a big change in the bulkier way the meta was once played. Now with the main
mascots of the franchise released even the bulkiest spreads nd mons may go
meaningless and so would it be known as a big decline in usage of troll set-up
strats as well as the nuisance of perish trap teams. All will go overpowered
and overwhelmed by the hyper-offensive style that this meta will probably play
into. Mark these words
Personal view of the new format:
Well i had always wondered to myself that if there were a
format I’d like to play into I’ll probably get these over-powering legends into
VGC, exactly TPCi heard my call and had it made legal, this feels like living
what once was a dream to me. I felt really down and felt like not competing
this season at all, but then I saw some matches related to it and then played a
few ones myself with a silly yet quite synergistically strong team of mine and
really loved the format as so far my record stands 2-0. Therefore I’ll be
looking forward to competing this season and throwing random crap ideas at
myself and reigning supreme with them. to be honest I have taken some useful
notes and the season’s meta sketches and have a team in my mind that I’ll be
posting as soon as I wave good-bye to the 2015 season properly as I felt like
it was such a season of growth for me and really would be liking to owing it
some back.
Growth of VGC:
Well this is seemingly nonsense in this post but seriously
if I date back some years, mainly whence I started VGC from playing in-game
only I was really tempted to bring my reshiram and mewtwo to the competition.
Similarly many people may play pokemon but aren’t interested in VGC because
maybe they don’t get access to some of the strongest things that they see.
Strategically this could be a good effort to pumping up the growth of VGC as it
attracts more players to the format by the rule-set change.
Good Luck! :
I gotta say this good luck for this new amazing season that
comes with quite some twists, I can already see the m-ray is boring and weather
wars are boring as well arguments coming to the community, so stay strong in
defending yourselves and for sure just have tons of good-luck for the new
season and have a good one, may this season bring tons of successes and new experiences
to you as I wish the same to myself.
Conclusion:
Well the start of this season does bring down the confidence
in some individuals and gives rise to other’s, most people are quite confused
with how they will play into this season but personally I find so much joy in
it and loved it. I’ll love to know your personal thoughts on it!
