>>21359114It's more like playing Basketball as opposed to Baseball. 6v6 Singles and 4v4 doubles are very different, and yes singles would be borderline unplayable (well not unplayable, just incomprehensibly shitty) without some bans that extend past box legendaries.
It's not like there isn't dumb shit in both formats-
>something is 'uncompetitive' so let's ban it>what do you mean I can't run full HO without getting fucked by Greninja? We need to suspect this shit>what do you mean I can't run full stall without getting fucked by Mega Heracross? We need to suspect this shit>we'll arbitrarily ban every other pokemon this season just because!>let's not have an official VGC ladder just because!>let's make dozens of shitty fully evolved pokemon, and never retcon anything into usefulness- unless we give them a mega, and either make them ridiculously overpowered or not worth using over other megas!But at the end of the day you're both playing a game made for children, so don't act so superior just because one way is the "official" way.
