You Don't Know THE REAL History Of Aegislash Ban - Pokemon Retrospective

Pokemon Bans are a weird part of Pokemon History and it seems like no one understands the real history of the Aegislash Ban, so I wanted to do a Pokemon Retrospective / Pokemon Video Essay on it. Pokemon Showdown and Smogon are unofficial casual Pokemon battle formats, but their banned Pokemon affect everyone in Pokemon. The history of the Aegislash Ban is deeper and more complex than anyone could ever imagine. Competitive Pokemon Video Essay / Pokemon Retrospective about how the trajectory of Smogon was permanently changed by the Aegislash Ban. So much "Pokemon Showdown Salt" could have been avoided all these years...
