In my opinion, stealth rock was horrible. I know it was a necessary evil to prevent people from constant switching (such as swithcing a flying type in while the other person does earthquake over and over) but I didnt like how it condemmed usage of certains types because they were weak to rock.
I have mixed opinion about team preview. Sorta kills some surprise imo, but meh, maybe its just me.
I hate how a lot of people on smogon are trying to ban vulpix and politoed because they affect weather. There excuse - swift swim makes metagame broken. Um yea, thats why you allow tyranitar with excadrill right? >_> Like I said, there trying to create 5th gen metagame rules with 4th gen principles. They really think you can be 'prepared' for everything with one team, but thats not true. You can't handle every strategy with one team, and this is what makes me believe on how some of those people are basing off their 'banning' of certain pokemon.
