Can you please respond without sounding like a complete douche? I really respect your play man, but come on, you're just making yourself sound bad. And as for banning or not banning, it is the collective conscious of the community. (AKA. General thoughts or opinions on the subject matter and overall judgement of the said subject matter, thus being Genesect being banned in this case) If Genesect was considered not uber standard later down the line, it will revert to OU, and do OU shenanigans. Thing is, while somethings can counter/check a certain set, it doesn't mean that the player may or may not have a counter to that set. I mean,while Heatran is a solid choice vs Genesect (since Heatran is used a special wall), NOT EVERYONE WILL USE HEATRAN. And being banned from a certain tier means that that Pokemon is overly used (PUNS) in that tier, and is extremely good in that tier. In this case Genesect is not only a common Pokemon, but has effective sets. Not only that, it has a diverse movepool with so much to the table, ranging from momentum shifting U-Turns, Shift Gear set up sweeps, and a variety of both Special and Physical moves that make it "unpredictable" to many people. So...He is just good, and very well common in OU teams in general.
In other words, I wasn't surprised that it was banned. Many people have trouble dealing with it, they being good or total noobs (or in my case, old people who rarely play so much since it is a hassle (Even though I still like discussions on the competitive nature of pokemon, which is why I participated in this topic in the first place(Long parenthesis isn't it?) That being said, I respect your opinions and have full intention to listen to an illustrious play
