>>22607324>>22607375>>22607400>Smogoni don't wanna sound like that guy "hurr hurr Smogon is dumb" but you have to realise that Showdown does not represent pokemon as a whole
this metagame is consumed by a massive power creep so there's no such thing as "muh underrated bros" there's only a couple of viable and abusable ones and then all the rest is a "non as viable as the other", the way Smogon sees pokemon is not the way GameFreak does, in an ideal world we wouldn't need NU or fucking FU and we wouldn't need to ban thousands of megas
