>I, admit, used to be one of those Karenfags. It was a hot summer many years ago when I first discovered my... inadequacy in Emerald's Battle Frontier.
>I had desperately googled for help and got them. Turns out, the games had lied to me. The Pokemon I caught, not special hell not even meh by Smogon's measurements.
>So I began the painful work of breeding and EV training. Get Perfect IVs and the right nature took months of my life. Finally, I had a team strong enough to conqueror parts of Battle Frontier.
>Then it happened. One day I opend the PC and saw my old team and I was filled with Shame. Deep, Deep Shame. They were fucking embarrassments. So, I did the only thing I thought was right at the time. Diamond and Pearl came out and I transferred my good pokemon over, but I kept my original team on that Emerald Cartridge.
>Then I crushed them. I took out my Emerald version, dropped it on the floor and stomped, and I stomped and I didn't stop stomping for what felt like an eternity.
>I finally looked down, pieces of silicon and copper, and green plastic all over the linoleum floor.
>And with that, I moved on. I became a winner. And all I had to do was cut myself free from those useless Pokemon I had 'fun' with in my naive days.
