I think you misunderstood what I was saying though. Sure someone is going to like every Pokemon, and would be biased on any potential ban. However, in the case of Blaziken, voters deemed it broken so it was banned in its entirety. It was 100% about brokenness, and 0% about favoritism. However, if we had said "Blaziken is Uber, but if we don't let it have Speed Boost it won't be, so we'll just ban that," then we suddenly are saying that we do not want Blaziken in Ubers, even though it is broken. And if we can say that, why can't we find a way to un-break any Pokemon that enough people like?And it also depends on WHO is biased. There are a lot of people who liked Blaziken, too. But nobody listened to them, not even the ones that weren't me. But first Kabutops, Kingdra, and Ludicolo, and next Smeargle, Huntail, and Gorebyss, were complex banned.
We have to complex ban all of them or none of them.
By having simple bans, a Pokemon is either Uber or not, and we are not picking favorites and crippling then in order to keep them in OU.
