NOTE: I do not go to any competitions.  I play causally and just like to be able to play be VGC rules (hence I prefer to play rating battles - doubles)

Its unclear atm but i expect the punishment for previous offenders was rating wipes and future offences could be rating battle bans etc but until we get more information on it we don't know for definite.

My advice if your worried is ask some of the breeders around to breed you a team and use a cartridge that hasn't been powersaved on. that way its minimal time investment for you but still lets you play rating battles but from the looks of it, game freak have gotten fed up with being the cycling of the competitive gaming world and are trying to stamp it out.
