So... Who plays casual pokemon?
By this I mean, you don't use Smogon rules, you don't always use the most powerful thing possible and you are actually playing for fun. I almost cared about competitive pokemon for a while, but it made everything so boring. Just recently started playing random matches with friends using whatever we wanted. Turned out to be way more fun than any rules-oriented bs.
TLDR: Why is everyone so afraid of sleep/confusion/whatever else is nerfed by Smogon and whatever else you use?
Does it just make you mad that you can't think of a way to counter it (Vital Spirit exists and so does own tempo)? The game isn't so horribly broken as you all seem to think. It is okay to lose sometimes. Just because you lose doesn't mean you have to ban what beat you. Get smarter, instead of having a hissy-fit.
