[Deed to the Abandoned]

Some of these moves may significantly impact the competitive Pokemon metagame. I wonder how the said metagame will look like in a few months.

 

[StellarWind Elsydeon]

It's pretty much guaranteed that they will. As if Fairy-types and Mega Evos weren't change enough. XD

The Metagame will adapt and survive, though. (Like the culture of bacteria it is.)

 

[Deed to the Abandoned]

There's already too much in this generation that alters everything so significantly. It's just too much change for some people to take.

(Wish I didn't have a terrible life so I can just play the game normally and have to worry about Smogon and those people.)

 

[StellarWind Elsydeon]

Smogon are a sad joke.

There's always people who will rage-quit at the first sign of change. I hear that a rather sizable chunk of the fan-base feels that the metagame has gone stale and that a good shakeup will do it a world of good. Frankly, I'm inclined to agree (Although I don't give half a shit about the metagame to begin with). xD

 

[Teapot]

Well, the metagame is going to be completely new this generation. Just like it was for the last two generations. And this is good! Not many games get their competitive side rebooted every few years, and it helps stop the situation where there ends up being a small handful of Pokémon that dominate the competitive scene and it's rare to see anything else.

In this case, it's quite clear that plenty of the changes Game Freak have made is to help more and more Pokémon be viable for serious play - not just competitive, but to help shift the all-too-familiar situation where you find a Pokémon that is neat, but utterly outclassed in every way by another. Sure, a lot of it looks competitively-bent, but what is competitive play if not just regular play taken to extremes?

Believe me, Mega Pokémon will shake up the metagame, as will many other things we might not even know about yet. Just like Eviolite, Drizzle Politoed/Drought Ninetales and various other things did in Gen 5, just like the type split and more did in Gen 4.

And I welcome this.

I said official video. As I've mentioned before and as the notice at the top of the page says, we are not reporting on leaks in the Cryptidex. That means videos on YouTube not from the official Pokémon channel.
