OK, I haven’t been much on the forum in past months, so excuse me if this it’s been already discussed (in that case link me the discussion :) ).
I have 2 proposals for the meta.
I know there will be a big update (4-5 gens), but I think it’s better start discussing some issues before, in order to be prepared for the future (and fix it before it’s broken lol).
I divided the 2 proposals in 2 different threads, because they can be implemented separately, so it’s better to keep the 2 discussions separate.
If, as it seems, we will have 4gen and 5gen pokemons, items and moves, then we could implement this rule.
The reason is very simple: have a better meta.
Why should we do this?
As I said in the old topic: «I'm watching the OU tournament right now... 45 minutes in and it's still a 3v3».
This makes the Pokemmo’s meta too boring, unfortunately :(
Too many tanks, too many walls. And, honestly, sometimes dumb strategy: just stall and wait.
«Why don’t you just use Knock off, man?»
Well… why did we ban Chansey, or Gengar, or Dugtrio or Snorlax? If you MUST use a single item/pokemon/move in order to counter a singular item/pokemon/move, then there is a problem to be fixed.
And there aren’t good Knock off users, at the moment.
MAYBE in the new meta there will be a lot of good Knock off users, and the problem will disappear… but I’d like to discuss this anyway, because I think that this adds a lot more strategy (there’s a reason if vgc has it): if you already have a pokemon with Leftovers, then you have to use Black Sludge, so you need a Poison pokemon, just for example.
We will not be forced to ban Focus Sash or Eviolite because of abusers, nor some pokemons (Dusclops, Porygon2, Chansey, just talking about Eviolite).
I think that we can’t introduce such a rule NOW, but what about the future?
With 4th and 5th gen’s items I think it’d be possible, because there would be a lot more items (I would add Assault Vest too, but it’s another story).

Idea number 1: Item Clause
I’ve already discussed this an year ago.

But the situation today it’s a little different.
