Little Cup's Little Losers: Obviously Overpowered

Not everything is perfect, so to try and keep games balanced, sometimes bans are necessary.

Game design is hard, especially if you’re trying to use a pre existing game with a different ruleset. Fortunately, community leaders help manage prominent rules and strategies if they become toxic to the health of our metagames. One such example is Pokemon, which has often been criticized for being unbalanced in single battles compared to Video Game Championship’s (aka VGC) official format of double battles. Fans of competitive pokemon joined together under the banner of Smogon to make their own rulesets for how to play. To ensure that everyone can play with their favorite Pokemon, different tiers are made with differing levels of power. My personal favorite is Little Cup, which only allows unevolved level 5 Pokemon to be brought.
