    I'm hoping this might get some support, but since gen 6 is approaching, I'm writing this more as to be noted for next gen than for this really.
    In this it would be separate from the other forms of battle factory, and only choose between the 2 tiers of 1v1 and 1v1 ubers.
    Each player would get either 2 or 3 Pokémon to choose from (I'm not sure which would be better), of which only the first one do they battle with.
    Here's a list of about 60 Pokémon that could be used in 1v1, with *'s by ones which could doubtless have multiple sets, and then a separate list of most of the currently viable Pokémon for use in 1v1 ubers.

    Standard 1v1:
    Abomasnow
    Amoonguss
    Bisharp
    Breloom*
    Chandelure
    Cincinno
    Cottonee
    Cloyster*
    Cresselia
    Deoxys-D*
    Dragonite*
    Ferrothorn
    Gallade
    Garchomp
    Gastrodon
    Gengar*
    Gliscor
    Haxorus
    Heatran
    Hydregion
    Infernape
    Jellicent
    Jiarchi
    Jolteon
    Keldeo
    Latias
    Latios
    Liepard
    Lucario
    Machamp
    Magnemite
    Magnezone
    Mamoswine
    Metagross
    Milotic
    Quagsire
    Sableye*
    Salamance
    Scizor
    Shuckle
    Sigilyph
    Slaking
    Smeargle
    Snorlax
    Starmie
    Starraptor
    Swampert
    Terrakion
    Thundurus
    Togekiss
    Tropius
    Tyranitar
    Umbreon
    Victini
    Volcarona
    Weavile
    Whimsicott*
    Wobbufett
    Zapdos[/HIDE]

    1v1 Ubers:
    Arceus*
    Blazekin*
    Cloyster
    Darkrai*
    Deoxys-A
    Dialga
    Dragonite
    Garchomp
    Giratina
    Ho-oh*
    Jiarchi
    Kyogre*
    Kyurem-B
    Kyurem-W
    Latios
    Lugia*
    Magnemite
    Mewtwo*
    Palkia*
    Rayquaza*
    Sableye
    Shaymin-S*
    Slaking
    Umbreon
    Whimsicott[/HIDE]
    They're probably incomplete lists really, but they're a start.
    As I say, with the start of gen 6, I don't expect this to get far, but I think it deserves to be at least duly noted.

    Well to be honest Battle Factory pretty much does this already.

    Well, I'd say no but that's something you'd need to take up with mibuchiha. Side metagames do not encompass battle factory. My guess is that it won't happen due to many bugs in the scripts that make past gen tiers impossible, which should be fixed first.

    Honestly, this seems fairly pointless. 1v1 is already extremely match-up based. Making it a BF tier would only serve to make the match-ups completely random instead of choosing what you win and lose against. This isn't my decision to make, but I'm against making yet another tier for random chance.

    This is a cool idea, but at the moment I don't see it happening for two reasons. First is that past gen BF is by far the priority and considering we don't even have a Wifi 1v1...

    Strangely enough, I'm in agreement with mib here. And also, because BF 1v1 would make many Stealth Rockers less usable, which pretty much eliminates them from the choices.

    The suggestion is a separate BF tier for 1v1 which would only have the sets that are used in normal 1v1.


    Yeah, since mib said that this isn't happening right now, I'll go ahead and lock it.
