The Current VGC Format Actually Rewards Cheating.

Yes, it would change the meta completely, and honestly, well known competitive players may not even be that good anymore in the new format, but what matters is it puts players on an even ground.

With that though, the community really needs to come together, and let Nintendo know "this is what we want!" The thing is though, I don't see this being such a huge issue in the community. I want to say this; I had always fought my competitors with the mentality that we are both equals, and that we are playing to have fun. I understand now that it may not be the case on the other side.

I do agree with what you are saying though. Rules and regulations are implemented for the purpose of everyone having a fair chance. Especially with scholarship prizes, people who work legitimately hard deserves a fair shot at their future. I just don't know if that part of the community is large enough to come together and make it happen (Of course, I would gladly side against genning for official tournaments).

Gamefreak have started to do it with changes to breeding give legends 3 31 iv's min etc but yea i suspect when they caught a significant number of cheaters online recently they will put even more emphasis on narrowing the gap it just depends if they are happy seeing legends go from the competitive format or not. Otherwise we might be waiting till gen 7 to get closer to even.

Yea i feel the main problem is its become an issue of cheating being accepted by players if that makes sense, it was a big part of why i made this huge post to try to show people it wasn't an acceptable thing to do (in official events) in order to make it more frowned upon or put pressure on gamefreak and nintendo to change the system in a way to make the format more fair.
