I don’t agree with this post, it’s just 1 guy rising these questions. Some are fair, some just ignore the outlined text already given. Drama is a common thing, there is drama with some decisions staff makes,drama in inner groups,drama throughout the world. There certainly is currently no drama here in this post, just a discussion. Favoritism,Corruption,Conflicts of Interest, is all avoided by including public opinion and has never been an issue with smogon ou in recent years (which would be the closest example to this council). The main reason is because of public opinion coinciding with well informed opinion to make the best decision for the entirety of the tier. Now, ofc you are not going to please everyone. Some decisions that have been made on smogon weren’t well received, some decisions here weren’t well received. That is naturally gonna happen because we all have our own opinions. How some can view the creation of the council as a bunch of elitists but want the staff which no offense has not the best pvp/doesn’t touch pvp players to make competitive decisions is weird. Why not have those same concerns? It seems most do, that is why this post is favored by pvp players as they see the need to have a body that will fully understand what needs to be done for the foreseeable future in competitive play for pro. The goals of many for the council is to avoid things like genesect running around because no one takes the time to make a post. Shut down dugtrio earlier just because some haven’t lost to it yet, so they think it’s not a broken mon. Suspect a mon like greninja who was clearly broken in a more developed format in smogon, that is causing chaos in this format right now.

Hopefully the game staff is willing, it would be for the betterment of pro. Most don’t actively play pvp to my knowledge so it be great for another party to regulate. I don't know why you would assume that the parties would make decisions in their best interest when it states that they refer to the community before making any decision or starting any suspect. If no one is talking about for example: Garchomp then the council can’t randomly suspect garchomp...if they were to for whatever reason the admins can reprimand/terminate the leader. The admins/mods here would elect the leader. The leader would then do his best to make a non bias selection on who represents the council. The council members can be council members as long as they wish but must be active and helping/repersenting the community. Who is on the council will most definitely be public knowledge. They should be held accountable just like any other party and be transparent with any decision.

PVP Council Hi, I’m NJNP. I’m mostly known for my team building and high level tournament play on smogon. I’ve dipped into the competitive scene here in the past and I’ve fully immersed myself into pro after some push to come back. That is the goal of this post: to improve the pvp scene of pro. On smogon, most decisions especially competitive ones are made by a group of people. That group is called a council. That group generally is of some of the best players in their competitive format and has good knowledge on the meta-game. They proceed to make sure the metagame is in proper order and deal with problematic elements of the metagame as they appear. The council is generally known for holding suspects. The council is to see if these Pokémon are guilty of being killers of the meta or are they innocent and perfectly fine for the meta. The decision to what should be suspected is single handily up to the council but heavily influenced by the community. The council doesn’t suspect something that does not have community interest or concern. Generally before something is decided to be suspected, the council asks the community their opinions before they move forward with a decision. I feel a council would be great for pro pvp as megas are coming and legendaries are becoming more accessible. The council will aid the community in making decisions for the betterment of pvp. I’d want the council also to aid in creating an official viability rankings for pvp. I’m not sure exactly why one hasn’t been commissioned in the past but I think it would make sense for players regarded as the best at pvp to be able to help others understand what is good in the meta-game. I have 2 council concepts that can be decided or at least give an idea on the set up. Concept #1: 2 CO Leaders 1 From Silver 1 From Gold 3 Council Members 5 Members In Total Concept #2: 1 Leader Representing Both Servers 4 Council Members 5 Members In Total I’d like to hear people’s opinions on bringing a council to pro pvp and if anyone has any questions feel free to post them below and I’ll answer them.

A mini bms type boost for a top 3/5 on pvp ladder guild. Give them a 5% chance to find a hidden ability.

Vote: No Reason: It has a uncompetitive ability which can lead to a centralizing metagame. Currently, we already have a centralizing pokemon in greninja, id rather not add to the chaos. Rating: Top 25 PVP 2 Seasons
