>>15400518/vp/ is a shithole
>>15400537I'm fine with Smogon because they seem to be the main, possibly only ones that give a fuck about 6v6 anymore which I prefer playing. It's completely ass backwards that 99% of the games are single, 6v6 battles when game freak and nintendo opt to support doubles over it in events.
>>15400628Speaking for myself: The PvP is the only aspect of the pokemon games that I enjoy. I don't like single player, I don't like the time needed to breed and grind pokemon. Yes I know they make things easier, it doesn't mean that I want to do it, that time could be spent playing other, like-minded players.
There also those that like to test out pokemon builds in sims before actually devoting time to making them in-game.
