Damn I don't like that they have to be caught in Alola, so much for the move tutors in ORAS

I really want ice punch metagross back, that would destroy garchomp

Am I the only one concerned that they said "some" legendary pokémon are banned? Most likely, this pertains to Necrozma and its new forms. I really don't want another season polluted by Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Not to mention Power Herb + Geomancy Xerneas. I really hope Nintendo quantifies this "some" pokémon really soon. Depending on who's allowed, I don't know if I'd want to compete this season...

You make a fair point about the legendaries from previous generations, but we still don't know if US and UM are going to impliment a system similar to the Mirage Spots from ORAS. If it does, then virtually all legendaries are going to be fair game. At this point in time however, I agree. Only Alolan Legendaries, like Necrozma, Lunala, and Solgaleo, are going to get the ban hammer. While I'm not looking forward to another season of Tapus and UBs, at least we have several knew ones to mix it up a little bit. I'm actually excited to see how UB Adhesive fairs in competitive. I love its design, so it'll be interesting to see how I can use it.

If every pokémon in the National Dex is legal, then I wouldn't get too attached. I sense Bronzong will be making a comeback. It is infamously known as one of the best TR setter in the game.

Not sure how I feel about megas coming back but definitely happy it's National Dex again
