It doesn't matter, those things happen after it is has been decided and voted upon to be banned, that is not the case here. This is for deciding if it needs to be banned.

Wait until we swerve you and release gen 1 and 2

This topic isn't about a potential nerf it is about gallade and why is it banworthy or not - please keep on topic.

Hasn't been overlooked.

Where were you at when it overleveled, how did it gain the experience that made it overlevel?

Its a known issue, other staff members responded to it before i ever saw it and they might not know that information.

That will almost coincide with the end of the season, I will try my best to make that the point at when we have a decision yes. At the very least of if it or its ability will be banned or not until we figure out what to do with it.

The overseeing staff(not just myself) would like to see it for 2 months before potentially gutting the pokemon, that said we also recognize the high possibility that the pokemon is broken and are in discussion with the TC on how to resolve that issue. Nerfing the ability, nerfing the movepool, new pokemon that could be added, have all been brought up. Nothing has been been decided yet but from a development standpoint the ideal is that removing something entirely from a pokemon should be the last resort.

I said to keep the thread civil, that goes for everyone. Posts that can't will be removed and users issued warnings. We've been pretty lenient thus far but its not going to be anymore. If you or anyone else cannot do that I would suggest not responding to that guy, same for him towards everybody else. They were removed. Also you cannot present an argument and then say its irrelevant when someone rebukes that argument, it doesn't really work that way.

Please use the edit button instead of double posting. Also if you click on usage in game and go to the pokemon in question you can see its most used nature and usually based off that see somewhat how it is used. Lucarios most used natures right now are Adamant and jolly making up roughly 70% of its usage, I think its mostly being used as a physical attacker right now even if it has the potential to be used either way.

It was "temporarily" quickbanned at best, no official poll/vote was taken but one can be had if we ever get to that position. As a reminder, keep personal attacks out of posts, all posts that contain any in the future will be hidden and warnings issued even if its only a small part of the post. If you cannot be civil with your arguments don't make them at all. This goes for everybody.

I can immediately tell you no for that one, unless they automate it.

Its been a topic of discussion since you brought up reforming the system, then it was asked a week or two ago my a member of the TC to move along with this particular reform of how it works, I asked if there were any objections, a few days passed some outright said no and to go ahead with it the others held there peace.

The update obviously kind of came out of nowhere so forgot to do this. Upon request by the Tier Council we will be trying a season where we do not have usage based movements during the first 2 months of a season and the last month will currently have the old cutoff of 4.36% but we are open for discussion on changing the cutoffs for that. You are free to discuss things still during the first 2 months and things can still be banned/moved manually during them. Again this is on a trial basis right now and may or may not be permanent.

For quickbans there's not really a deadline, end of the month voting is typically over at the time of tier changes though. Quick bans have surprisingly little procedure considering how seriously they are treated in the thread only to be used sparingly. After this vote ends there will be some changes coming for the procedure for them.

We've had 5 for about a week and a half now I was just waiting for the okay to look for a new member and the thread wasn't updated while that process was happening. We are back to 6 now.

You keep saying I am against anything, I am not, I am not against banning something in the middle of the month, I'd PREFER not to during the third month, but not against that either. You did propose something useful here though and that is the idea of going from a quick ban into standard procedure. The policy doesn't really cover that, normally it would just end the thread but we can try it out.

They have expressed their opinions, at least one person said they needed more time to make their decision - I'm not waiting for anybody, I just warned against the possibility of where the vote will go if that person isn't given adequate time to make an informed decision. If they want to vote now it can be started, I am stopping nobody from requesting it.

None because nobody has definitively asked me to start a vote on it, it was mentioned and i replied to them about the at least one vote currently in limbo waiting for more of the test to happen and they never asked to vote anyway.

3-1 is not how many tc members we have

ITs in the policy.

It has been 4 votes for a long time now. "A vote requires a 2/3 majority by the tier council to pass"

its not, it requires 4 in favor to ban something. We have 5 members, soon to be 6 again.
