Without a doubt people are going to use the primals and Mega Ray immensely though how much usage remains to be seen. I'd probably would have liked it more if the other legends where allowed. but that's as close to an opinion as I'll get. Will definitely try out some teams on showdown and hope that Pokemon can release an official ladder for this format.

Meanwhile at Pokemon Corp:
"You know what would be a good way to nerf mega kang, improve vgc and discourage people from using cheat mons?"
"Well maybe boost up some less viable pokèmon like umbreon, rampardos, noiv-"
"MEGA FREAKING RAYQUAZA AND PRIMAL LEGENDS!"

This saddens me, I am sure that a lot of pokemons will be less viable in this new meta :/

Welp this will be interesting, maybe I'll get back into competitive and see who this goes

So I spent most of my time making a great team based around not using Primals and Mega Ray and they decide to now add them? Gosh darnit!

Wow. The complaint was how Pokemon were losing viability in the VGC'15 metagame due to stronger Pokemon and instead of banning the stronger Pokemon so the underdogs could have a shot, they put in even stronger Pokemon in the format. What the....
At least make Soul Dew Latios legal, damnit

only last thing is that Telepathy Dialga/Palkia is legal in this format but getting one will be a pain.
