Blaziken banned

Ok, so now Smogon has banned Blaziken, the first starter to be banned. Now as far as I know, you can't even use Blaze Blaiken which is ridiculous to me. Smogon needs to do some changes to how their banns work. I've been suggesting for a while now that they just ban certain moves/abilities on certain pokemon as not to just flat out bann pokemon, as that seems a bit extreme.

They should ban every pokemon so that no one can play!

Seriously though. Who cares what smogon says? Use whatever pokemon you want, and have fun. >.>

I couldn't agree more with Yoshi.

This does, however impact those who use Shoddy on Smogen servers (I think).
Also, I don't see the point in banning pokemon. Surely that gets rid of the fundamental aspects of the game: to use whichever one you want.
