>>55964620VGC is LITERALLY a depthless format designed for babies, that's WHY they have a "Junuiors league" (age <12) and "Seniors league" (age 13-15)
VGC has been around for 15 years and the metagame still plays EXACTLY THE SAME as 15 years ago. Look at the champion teams and strategies from 15 years ago. It's exactly the fucking same still today.
What a dull, boring, uninspiring format.
SMOGON on the other hand has been around for 20 years and each generation feels extremely unique.
Every single new game mechanic GameFreak implements has MUCH GREATER IMPLICATIONS for SMOGON than for VGC.
No matter what new content Game Freak introduces, VGC matches will play out the same as they always have.
"New" VGC metas get solved in 5 seconds, smogon metas are never fully solved, because they have actual depth and complexity.
VGC is still exactly the fucking same as it was 15 years ago. Zero metagame development in 15 years.
Every single generation of smogon has soul. So much fucking soul. Organic, community-driven soul.
This is why smogon is more popular than VGC.
This is why more people care about smogon in spite of VGC being the "official" multi billion dollar tech giant Nintendo corporate shill format.
Suck it, "shitter".
