Metagame changes

So with all the new TM's, moves, breeding move, dream world abilities, and other changes how do you think the metagame will change and what new strategies will you see?

I see bulky offense easily becoming the most dominant play style for the simple fact that so many of the new Pokémon are incredibly strong, have very high HP, and passable defenses but completely horrid speed.

I think people might start using dream world claus. to prevent people from using abilities like drought and drizzle

oh great, this is gonna be a campy

and BORING and SLOW

smogon needs to stop making movesets asap, im getting tired of them controlling everything

let the stupidity and creativity of 13 year olds figure things out for themselves, it will come out more fun, than random generic garbage taken off other people who 'research' movesets

One new metagame change that is probably the antithesis of Gen IV is the complete disusage of Stealth Rock.

I don't see why they would, I love the new abilities.

Evil: Smogon doesn't control everything at all. People follow their tiers because they are well made, and if you don't want to use their movesets then don't. And keep in mind that the majority of Smogon users who actually do the Pokémon analysises are 15+ years of age

I dont, what do you want me to do, I can sit here and complain, and I know it wont do anything.
