burns, poison
Is the point of pokemon, it's a competitive RPG and that's what people have to remember. The fact that the game is an RPG means there is going to be a fuckton of factors that are based on luck.
That HAPPENS when you base an entire genre on DnD style gaming, it's all based on the luck of a die. No shit.
There's nothing else to compare pokemon to because nothing has even come close to making a successful competitive RPG
>w-what about MMOSCompetitive turn based RPGS
The focus in pokemon is on strategy and team building because it's a fucking RPG.
So the real question is
Are RPGs the worst competitive genre since they focus so much on luck? Are shooters the worst competitive genre because they focus on reaction time? No you fucks.
Tl;dr
It's a game about dice no shit it's about luck
That being said critical hits horseshit and should be removed.
Team fortress 2 is also a relatively silly game that has a deep competitive scene that also has critical hits (that were implemented into the game for the same reason) but without hesitation crits were removed in competitive play
