I can see potential discussion where people discuss current trends in both the VGC and Smogon formats via surveying individual Pokemon sets, cores, or overall teams which become spotlight on the respective ladders tours. If there's one thing we should "avoid", its attempting to justify certain mons or weird ideas which "work". Like to be fair, lately I've seen more discussion based on people trying to say "oh this Mon is great" or "this strategy is SO OP", since its usually baseless without any elaborations to back them up. Will attempt to drive more talking points about the current VGC scene given things has slowed for temporarily.
Honestly weekly metathread is asking for much as especially for the singles side, so probably suggest monthly at least to keep things steady. We can also discuss certain IRL/Online tournaments that happen such as the Pokemon Invitation, or the Melboune Challenge which did receive a notable interest in the VGC community. Would be fun to discuss what happens in these tournaments as well as what mons/teams that caught our attention.
