Probably this has been discussed before so I apologize if I'm redundant. Is there an interest and/or the possibility to incentive the play on older gens ladders, specifically DPP and ADV ones? They are dead af almost all the time and I'm honestly sick of playing that dog shit metagame that is ORAS.
I was thinking of some form of achievement/acknowledgment/bragging rights for getting highly rated on those ladders, something that has to be on a periodic and continuous base to guarantee the availabilty of players any time.
For example every X months the top Y players could gain some points depending on their ranking and spend those points to gain a lead advantage in tours related to those gens...
Note that my concern is about ladders; I am well aware of the existence of "The Smogon Classic", but like any other tournament it takes place in a short spawn of time, what I would love is to hit the find battle button any time and find an opponent.
Opinions?
