So the competitive community has been at one another's throats for over two years now because we have an incomplete meta and with each new change more and more imbalance when it comes to team building. Our ban-list has gotten to an insane number and is only looking to increase as we are stuck in a place where something just has to change. I mean we are currently suspect testing Blissey and Snorlax, two pokemon that were both deemed as non-uber. Although because of their affect on our unstable meta, we have to look into that possibility.
So what would change this? Well implementation of key pokemon such as the legendary dogs, the legendary birds, celebi, jirachi, the Regi's, and Milotic.
These listed pokemon are standard to the Gen 3 and Gen 4 competitive scenes. In my opinion they would help to provide balance to our unstable meta and offer additional options to ensure we don't grow stale in our team building.
If you choose to implement them in a fun "MMO" style format such as legendary dungeons well go for it, but I would prefer having these available as random spawns in the wild as the Legendary Dogs used to.
The dungeons should be reserved for the true Uber legendaries like Mewtwo, Mew, Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre, Deoxys, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Latias, and Latios. I mean, that's a pretty extensive list that would still be fun to have as special catches for further end-game content. All of these likely wouldn't see the light of day in our OU meta because of their above average characteristics. The other pokes I listed though are like sub-category legends that would benefit the OU meta and really help to end what I like to think of as the "bloodshed" in comp alley.
