The only problems I have with smogon is there are too many tiers (BL? UU? RU? NU? LC? Why not just merge RU and UU together?) and that they ban minimize and double team, despite plenty of moves existing to get around those buffs/debuffs. This wouldn't be a problem if every smogon set wasn't full of 100+ battlepower 70% acc attacks. If these people can write a fucking essay about the checks and counter that exist in a entire tier then why can't they get around doubleteam? Japan considers double team/minimize and ohko moves completely legal because gamefreak but in measures to get around that shit, they even have the decency to ban shit based on base stat totals instead of >hurr durr protect speed boost blaziken straight to uber tier.
>tl;dr, I dislike smogon because they whined when their 80%(read: not 100%) acc stone edge missed my ultra fragile pokemon because I used double team, instead of getting good, they banned that strategy which severely limited the meta game in a america
