Alright, challenge to anyone: Name me a Metagame that's more varied with more potential options/strategies then Pokemon.

    Bull crap Mourn. Seriously, look at the VGC's for this year. We had a Pokemon widely considered a jokw by everyone be the key component in a victory. There's the while completely different communities for Singles and Doubles, etc. If you're calling Smogon's tier list trash, then I'd agree partially, hut the whole metagame singlehandedly beats out nearly every other Metagame.

    In what world is a number crunching-based metagame interesting? In what world is a loud out system metagame an interesting metagame compared to a metagame that allows you to choose all your available options all the time?

    It's not number crunching metagame, it's strategy based. Sure, you could just play by the books and use SE moves, but in Pokemon's Metagame status moves, etc, can be a lot more useful then just raw damage. Pokemon is about reactions and preparing for whatever your enemy could have ahead of the battle. Again, the Pachirisu as Worlds just proves this. Most of its moves were built around redirecting damage, inflicting statuses, and acting as a support Pokemon.
