Being against this unban is okay, but that should also mean being against the existence of BP complex bans in gens 2-5. Either side is fine but the current double standard is not.

I will be attempting a diplomatic version of what my good pal SoulWind is trying to convey. In terms of brokenness, it's obvious that there would be no risk in allowing drypassing. Traditionally that means no stat boosts but sub or aqua ring or whatever could always be included within that...

A Logical Proof 1) Banning Sand Rush is philosophically equivalent to Banning Sand Force (only broken on 1 mon, can easily argue they are inherently broken due to perma weather) 2) Unbanning Sand Rush would require an Excadrill Ban 3) An Excadrill Ban would make Spikes broken 4) Banning...
