You say that, but these are the people who designed m-salamence and thought it was balanced, and gave a pokemon 150 SpA but were surprised when people used it as a special attacker. I'm not exactly very confident in GF's ability to balance the game.The recent interview with Game Xplain and the acknowledgement that MKhan was everywhere months ago really gives me hope for the developers to expand on competitive BSpot specifically and taking the focus off the more commonly seen threats from XY. Not to say that we won't have a successor to MKhan but things are definitely feeling a bit less centralised at least for now. One concern I have though is the power creep from the new Megas, and how the meta will likely be a lot more focused around them as a win condition - this is definitely more prominent in BSpot with less mons.
I really hope that rumor about "-ate abilities giving a 30% boost was a bug" is true.
