MegaLess
​

Banner open for any one who can make a cool one, I was thinking show Agieslash or Castform sitting on their corpses with a caption there can be only one but any attempt i make with look like horrible. get it because they can transform in battle too
So you know that hole alternate universe thing(that we played for the first five generations) from the delta episode that happened.







​

Rule #1 no mega stones
Rule #2 no mega evolution
Rule #3 OU Format

So this is a metagame with out mega evolution how will the game change now that many top tier threats are gone?
Ban list:
Ubers
Mega Stones
Mega Evolving--if we ever get something similar to Raquaza in standard

Effects:
a lot of things become less viable.
notably pretty much every mega.
Some things become much more viable
Many top tier threats are entirely useless again--see the Charizards
Many things that used to be out classed now become much more viable.
Speed tiers have lowered significantly with the lack of the hyper offensive megas
Landours-T the only none mega S tier threat still around only this time with out mega evolutions to stop his rampage
Knock off is some how more annoying now that mega stones are gone

Discuss the implication.

Okay... the OP doesn't explain anything about what the metagame does. All it states is the banlist and that Pokemon become 'more sucky.'

 

[Tarontos]

Exactly no mega evolution that is it
what else is there to say

 

[Verse]

Soo, its like Gen V, but with new pokes from Gen VI?

Would you also add the mega abilites to the pokemon's base form, as a extra hidden ability? That would make the stat boosts from mega evolving gone, but you could still have the option of a normal ability, for say, Lopunny base, with scrappy.

 

[Tarontos]

And no perma-weather and the knock off buff.
lack of gems
add
assault vest and few other items
few other things

 

[Verse]

Why no gems or assault vest? I am confused.

 

[Tarontos]

there is only the normal gen available atm
assault vest is there
was stating how it is differnt from gen 5
and the special nerf

 

[Verse]

Oh, I'm sorry, I misread your post.

 

[Anthiese]

I guess what the allure is that this metagame is just how the meta would be without Mega Stones or MEvoing. It's interesting to say the lest, however with the lack of information it doesnt seem that it's point wasnt being brought across. I would like to see how this develops as the metagame would have been a LOT different without the advent of MEvoing.

 

[dhelmise]

...Okay then

Tarontos could you spruce up the OP a bit more? Use another OM's OP as an example if you need help. Right now this is just a copy of your submission. Once you post for all to see, it needs to be more informative and organized. Thank you!

I believe the Knock Off boost is still there, since this is just Gen 6 without Megas.

 

[Tarontos]

I didn't look at the code but yes the knock off boost is still present.

 

[dhelmise]

Tarontos can you edit the code in the OP with the code in my post because I edited it a bit.

 

[Snaquaza]

This has been implemented at the Aqua Server!
Go check it out Tarontos

There is now a Mega-less ladder on the main server. You can discuss the developments in this thread http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/introducing-the-ou-no-mega-ladder.3532505/

It looks like OU plans to start reincorporating the megas slowly back into the metagame after an undisclosed amount of time, but until then you can play it as if it were this OM!
