Sweet and bitter as chocolate.
I wanted to suggest some askew to what Rising_Dusk suggested for fifth generation analyses, which can be seen here.
Personally, I'm a tad worried on how how analyses on Pokemon involved in Aldaron's Proposal, or more specifically, the Drizzle + Swift Swim Ban, are going to be handled.
Newer players, or people waiting to get familiar with the Smogon metagame, will obviously question the ban, and will be confused as of why the ban is what it is. In GameSpot where I rarely lurk, I've seen people completely misunderstand the bans and reason that the bans are completely arbitrary (Blaziken is a hot topic right now, if you guys want to know). This would apply to newer players as well.
I am currently working on both the Politoed and Kingdra analyses, and I don't particularly enjoy having to write an extra paragraph in the Overview explaining the ban, making the Overview longer than it should be. [1] Therefore, I would like 5th generation analyses for Swift Swimmers and Politoed to consider adding an extra section, explaining the ban and making the reader understand it better. This would decrease the amount of clutter in the overview, and surely some Pokemon analyses would not mind another section added (like the Hidden Power section in Magnezone's analysis last generation). In my idea, it would look like this:
[An Explanation on the Drizzle + Swift Swim Ban]
<p>Commentary.</p>
[2] Ideally, if someone does not like an extra section added to ALL Swift Swimmers need an extra section added (like Luvdisc), we can instead implement a link to an article or page explaining the ban. After the final paragraph of the Overview, there should be a link to such an article. In my idea, it would look like this:
<p>For an explanation behind the Drizzle and Swift Swim Combination Ban, please click here.</p>
If there is a better way of explaining the ban to newer players, do tell.
