Of course the same will happen to the Wii U. But it sure is taking it's sweet *crag*ing time. Pretty sure VirtualBoy is the only Nintendo console in history to never get a good library, regardless of how much time it took.

Nintendo is leaving so much money on the table. They could be sending everyone to a dashboard to show you the Mountain Dew ads you pay $50 a year to download to your $500 entertainment machine.

Yeah pretty much. Mega evolution stats are pretty much Legendary tier. 

But I felt that with the loss of a held item and the limit to one per team kept it balanced. 

Im probably not parttaking in VGC's this year due to time constraints, but if I was I wouldnt be too mad about the mega evo's and hidden abilities ban. But it does feel a little annoying. We wouldnt be allowed to use anything brought from outside the KalosDex, and the new hidden ablilities and mega evo's are mostly what Gen 6 brought to the Metagame table. So stripping new mechanics essentially makes it last year's VGC's but with a few pokemon missing and a few pokemon added. 

As for not wanting to deal with new things, there is a lot of time between now and the 2014 VGC's. That is enough leeway to do suspect testing (The VGC tier in Pokemon Showdown exists for a reason) to get a better feel of what is OP and what is not. 

tl;dr: 
I feel it's lazy and foolish to just ban everything new, and that is how real OP things fall through the cracks and end up sweeping the tournaments.
