Entry Hazards, no more?
Bing:
I just played 10 matches in PO and everyone either had a combo of, stealth rock + spikes or stealth rock + toxic spikes.

I personally think that SR should not be taken out. Yes, SR targets certain pokemon and makes them useless (Cahrizard) but its also strategy that many competative players like to use. Game Freak saw that SR really screws with alot of people so they effectively cut the usage of it. They cut SR from the TM list and made it to where gen 4 pokemon with they move can't be as useful in gen 5. This has actually cut down the useage of Stealth Rocks by at least 34% since B/W came out in Japan.
I think that SR should not be a TM but only available to those that can learn it by lv up in gen 5. If it was a TM, maybe it would be one of those TMs that you could only get by winning an event. This would make sure that the move isn't used as much in PU's PvP and ensure that certain flying/bug/fire/ice types can be used in the metagame.

This says one thing. That gamefreak understands the mistake they made with SR. But, they can't remove it because of it's popularity. So they just limited it. Really SR not being PU is better and there are other entry hazards you can use.

So, instead of fixing an obvious balance issue - we should try to sweep it under the rug and fragment movepools as much as possible so it's hard to use?
Just because a small number of people swear by it, while a lot of people in the community think it's over-centralising?
I dunno, I personally think that it's better to just remove it in this case.
Only a few people will be annoyed, a lot will be relieved, and it won't lead to annoying fragmentation of moves.
