As the BW situation has now been resolved - BW 1U will start without any bans but BW 1X will exist and be an equivalent of Smogon OU which can be used in official tournaments if needs be before BW 1U is sufficiently balanced and diverse as to be tournament-ready - it's now time to start exploring, balancing, and refining our BW 1U tier.
The first thing to address is suspects: as it currently stands, players have spoken about potential suspects to Kyogre and Arceus-Ghost. In this thread I'd like to see some discussion about which players see as potentially the bigger issue, meriting being suspect tested first, if they feel that either should be suspect tested at all. Assuming it looks like people actually want either suspect tested, I will hold a vote on which to suspect first, and then the suspect will be discussed and then a vote will be had. Then after that vote is over, we will open up BW 1U New Frontiers to get people playing battles and testing the tier.
tl;dr: suspect Arc-Ghost or Kyogre first?
