you can theoretically make a metagame where nothing is broken by having miniscule bans

yea, which is the goal of pp's tiering p much
PDC - 04/02/2018
but it only works because its ridiculous in power creep / leve
i don't think it results in a "balanced" metagame for lack of a better term

oras 1u is balanced

the goal of initial banlist is to make an ideal tier
oras 1u is balanced as ubers
i guess it's oras ubers with just

xy ubers was balanced tho apart from

the nonsense gone
Disaster Area - 04/02/2018
shadow tag and geomancy
but with soul dew added which makes
kyogre more manageable
and also adds extra hazard clearers
and m sab which adds
a ekiller/mewtwo answer
it's a good balanced meta w/ a decent sized pool of viable mons
yea idk i guess i just dont understand what's the purpose of smogon's tiering;
the reason I wanted to do smth different on PP was cos of seeing
so many mons in ubers that were outright unviable
I realised there's enough mons there to make a viable meta which is nearly as diverse as OU
with a couple of bans
in ORAS anyway
and I didn't see the point in not trying to make the top metagame in a generation
the one with as few bans as possible to make it
balanced
i understand smogon has a different stance
but I literally don't understand what their stance is honestly
PDC - 04/02/2018
right now it seems to make as many possible metagames as possible
Disaster Area - 04/02/2018
but what I heard from I think aldaron or jellicent or someone a long time ago I guess was wanting to make the OU meta have a power level that is at least somewhat reflective of the power of the best mons u can get ingame or something
yea I support that
just takes time to do it but I support that
