Anti-Smogon shitposters need to leave.
I'm not a Smogon fanboy and I'm not even heavily invested in competitive. But I understand how it works.
Saying that Smogon bans something because they can't deal with it is pants-on-head retarded. You cannot "deal with" Mega Gengar. You cannot "deal with" Mega Kangaskhan without bringing incredibly obscure "counters" that are either dead weight or as a result of Kang end up on every single team.
Not to mention that 8/9 of the bullet points under "Smogon" is either ad hominem or completely untrue.
>Bans everything they can't beat and can't understand a metagame.
See above. As for can't understand the metagame, what? Smogon makes the metagame.
>Metagame is formed by 20 Pokemon.
Untrue. There are 719 legal Pokemon for usage in competitive Smogon singles. If you meant OU in particular, that's also untrue. Tiers are based on usage.
>Can't accept someone's opinion.
Who? It's a community.
>Freshman in high school
Ad hominem
>Suspect polls are rigged
Only in the Aegislash vote and that isn't even confirmed. Banning Medichamite from UU was not rigged. Banning Fletchinder from NU was not rigged. Banning Zoroark and Yanmega from RU were fucking landslide votes and not rigged.
>Their mom hates them
Ad hominem
>Ignore new members and belittle them
Did you have a bad experience with a Smogon player, OP? VGC players shit on Smogon as much if not more. Also you can't ignore someone and simultaneously belittle them.
>Too busy circlejerking in Victory Road
Ad hominem, probably untrue.
With the advent of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y casuals have flooded /vp/ with their extreme ignorance of how competitive Pokemon works. As a result, the board has slowly gone down the shitter with no hope of ever coming back.
We see this thread every fucking day. It's awful.
