>>32913612You'd be wrong inn making that assertion, since it is. The qualifications for a competitive game are quite lose and have been described before, as long as people are willing to watch it, people spend effort to play it at a higher level of skill, and these two further allow an organized event in which it is played, then it is, by definition, a competitive game.
Sorry you don't want to see it like that, but that's how it is. You might have a personal interpretation of what a competitive game should be, with perfect balance relying solely on skill, but that doesn't affect the fact Pokemon is, in part like many other games, a competitive game too.
