So I've recently started playing Battle Revolution again, and you know in the past I had a love hate relationship with WiFi battles. In the last 3 years it seems nothing has improved with the idiotic and lazy nature of people who play pbr. The rampant netdecking, the notion of stealing movesets from the Internet, is strong as ever. I've had more than one of my movesets stolen by Smogon. More and more people are using OU and Uber parties. Now before I hear someone talk about the whole metagame in pbr, I swear I'm going to punch them. A metagame is just that, a game within a game that players agree on. Not on random wifi, where the other person didn't agree upon it. Don't get me wrong the other person is just much at fault. Random is random, you never know what you might get. But that's no way to justify "oh well everyone else uses OU and I don't have a brain to think for myself".
So this is what I propose, A Gentlemen's Agreement and a change to fan created standard rule set for PBR. Since there are 11 colosseums in PBR, and what I consider roughly 3 popular Pokemon classes, UU, OU, and Uber, you can divide those colosseums up. What I propose is 3 colosseum for players who play UU, NU, and BL parties, 3 divided amongst OU players, and 3 for Uber players (who frankly deserve none), and the last 2 for anything goes.
