Other than that it's hard to say if there will be any bans. Mons like Inflagetah, Yatagaryu, etc. will probably be suspected in the future but this has been discussed already.
We should absolutely adopt Smogon's system. Smogon gets a bad rap sometimes for being ban-happy, but at the end of the day, Smogon's singles metagame is by far the most refined, tried-and-true system in terms of fostering high-level, competitive play.
Agree with you 100% on Nucleon. Though, some people wouldn't go as far as outright banning Nucleon. I remember someone saying that making Nucleon + Choice Scarf illegal and probably Quick Attack on it illegal instead of banning it was an option. Not sure how effective that would be at limiting Nucleon's presence but I guess it's an idea.
As for Smogon, I love it's balanced banning + tiering system. It's actual players governing the rules and balancing the meta and that's how it should be in any professional competitive community.
