I see your point, but maybe if we emphasize 'Clear Skies' as our OU then, push OU into a side tier to help settle the issue. I'm wondering how this affects the Reborn League though. Don't the fire, water, ground, rock and ice gyms use the weather?
However, this will benefit us in the long run as we are then forced to be more creative in making our teams and not relying on the weather to do our work.
I myself love to use the rain to ladder, but evetually the fun of doing it disappears and I started to ladder without swift swimmers. Seeing others struggle to outspeed a pokemon w/ double spd is just.... cruel. Its sad to see others haven't realised this yet.
