>>22907383>we didn't start liking pokemon because of competitive maximized calculations but because we wanted to play with our own monsI miss this feel too much, when it was about "i'm using this pokemon, which one are you using? that one? lets battle them!" now its all if it has the right IV's, nature, abilities, hold items, egg moves, EVs, movesets, if its shiny, if its mega, if its built to take on specific mons and if its even at all viable, otherwise if it isn't any of those then its a waste.
