    I haven't seen this idea so far though it could be very nice to have a tier without the megas ( who centralizes the metagame) and without the meta being as broken it was in gen 5 ( infinite weather etc etc)

    If this happen it will just use the same bans as ORAS OU and I think there's nothing wrong about it.

    What's your opinion?

    I like the idea Carl but why not host a forum tour instead of trying to make it a tier right away? And see how that goes

    About the idea I think team building will change a lot if there's no megas involved, a lot of pokemon are pretty much useless in ou without the megastone like venusaur, charizard, lopunny etc. Only a few will still be viable (scizor t-tar)
    So yeah I'd like to see how the meta game will change without mega stones

    I would say give it a go. Megas center the battles since gen 6 started and some may like the idea. We can always destroy the tier from the database if it doesn't work out.

    I like this idea this is actually pretty cool.

    "No Mega" tier is pretty decent smogon have ORAS OU No Mega (iirc) and it works pretty well.

    And players will actually try to experiment new viable sets since (as casp said) some megas are limp without mega stones. So yeh pretty cool idea. But alas, to lower tiers :( "they might" be left out so bad.

    Actually, I am saying the same thing as Caspa did. Only a few stone-less pokemon will be viable (looks at Ampharos and cries) and some pokemon will be top tier threats like say Azu, Kyu-B,Talonflame, Nape, etc... so let's see how the forum tour comes out and then let's decide on the tier.

    You all missed the fact this thread is over 6 months old and probably won't hold any interest on the server after 2 weeks... at which point it will be abandoned but then some people will still want to play, thus further segmenting the current playerbase.
