HOLY SHIT. All hell is gonna break loose next year. I cannot wait to see how well this plays out.
Holy crap I still can't believe this is happening.

Is Scald too weak?Scarf Cloud Nine Golduck with Hydro Pump and Ice Beam is the way to go
Because some people, like me, never had a Manaphy, Mew, Phione, Celebi, or Jirachi, and would have to hack to get them, or trade for someone else's and hope it isn't hacked. Plus, new players to the game that started at XY/ORAS would not be able to obtain these pokemon either, without hacking or trading. Personally, I like the rule. The world doesn't need Manaphy and Jirachi.Wow, well that just riped the whole meta, at least Golduck is going to be viable and M Swampert even more
Edit: You know at this point, the event lengendaries are just outclassed so why ban them other than the fact they are more likely to be hacked
It does negate all the effects of extreme weather except for the effect that keeps it from being overwritten by regular weather.Cloud Nine can't do anything against extreme weather
I think that is slightly wrong... Kang/xern/cress/Pdon is the way to go
Don't forget they also try to "balance" the meta by creating pokemon that are direct counters to the OP mons. Like M-Gallade with inner focus to kill M-Kang but in practice don't work because the pokemon is not suited well for a meta infested with intimidate and prankster status. So yeah basically they don't know how to balance and mabe even if they knew how to balance it wouldn't matter because of all the HAX.I really don't post much on these forums, but I had to give my say on this subject. My thoughts/predictions on the meta?
Primal spam everywhere, with some Xerneas and MegaRay, and the rare Kyurem-W. POgre wasting teams with stupidly powerful Origin Pulses and PDon ruining everything else with it's own Precipice Blades. Lugia will be there, giving Cresselia a run for it's money and eating every hit imaginable, although Cress is a more reliable stop to the Primals. And don't even get me started on MegaRay and Xern... I like how they haven't made Soul Dew, which, in this meta will be somewhat average, legal. On the plus side, less MegaMence or MKangas. On the downside, MegaRays. MegaRays everywhere. MegaRay will pretty much be mandatory it's so good. GeoXern will be common as well, because why not have some +2 nukes maiming the meta more than Mega Ray while we're at it, shall we?
TBH, I feel Game Freak did this because they didn't want to ban the VGC '15 'mons that were everywhere, so instead they just added some 680s (or 670s in Groudon and Kyogre's cases) to "balance it out". The result? An even MORE broken meta. Well, people may have some inventive handles to these terrors, so Game Freak got their diversity wish. Sort of. Which means Golduck everywhere. Yay... I guess other options are Sableye for prankster burn to cripple MegaRay. Unless it's special. In that case RIP. Well, that's my say. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to make my VGC '16 team.
