Do not post gimmicks and novelties, like theme teams, 'troll' teams, teams of favourites, etc.

Quote taken from rule 2.2

What if someone's 6 favourite pokemon are, like, (VGC Reg I) Incineroar, Miraidon, Whimsicott, Lunala, Urshifu and Ursaluna; or some other really viable team in the format its for and they mistakenly write that they are their six favourite pokemon? With the current rules, that would be closed because its a team of favourites.

I'm not saying people can make ANY team out of their favourites though. Because a team of Trapinch, Sandaconda, Aggron, Drampa, Tatsugiri and Pombon, my six fav pokemon, is never going to be viable in any format. If it isn't viable, still remove it, mods.

But if it is viable, keep.

But that team isn't a "gimmick or novelty" as the rule puts it, so it would never be closed.

I'm a bit confused by this post? Did you see us remove a normal team just because someone uttered the word favourite? We already operate the way you recommended.

Ah right. I just saw the teams of favourites bit.
I posted because there was probably one random mod at some point who removed a perfectly viable team just because the title was something like:  Rate my VGC 2015 Trick Room Team of Favourites, which says favourites in the title.
