Okay so I had made a piratepad a while ago just to see who was still interested in this. Sorry for making it seem like there was something special planned. It was just something I did cause I was feeling mildly nostalgic at the time and I was curious to see who still liked the meta.
I think having a thread for this stuff is probably better anyways. There seems a sizable group left so I'm sure there's some discussion to be had. I realize there's a general talk thread but that's burried somewhere and it suffered from having a lack of specific subject.
Anyways, I'm looking back at bw and cringing at the shitty sleep mechs. More than that, I'm really curious what you guys think would be done about Darkrai nowadays. Would you continue to use SpDef Kyogre or CB Ho-Oh as your sleep fodder knowing they could get slapped by Thunder? I feel like you'd need multiple checks to handle him now, and I mean multiple mons that can stop him after sponging the sleep as well as something that can actually safely force the Dark Void. I feel like the Taunt and Thunder variants just really shake things up (which we saw in UPL) but I don't think folks have really put in much effort to see what could be done about them.
What are your thoughts about Darkrai? Do you think having another headache like Palkia in the meta ruins it or do you think its just another meta change that'll be handled?
edit: btw topic of this thread is just a general lookback on the bw2 meta and how things have or might have changed. Also how homosexual a name like yohoe is.
