>>16624589The thing about OU, though, is that all this stuff only really applies for games where each team has six pokemon in play.
Which is basically just battles with friends and all of the sim games?
The tournament and online play don't use that, and as a result entry hazards don't matter nearly as much beyond providing brief damage to a pokemon entering the field.
All of the catagories sort of fall apart outside of the Smogon Meta-game, which isn't really something I personally encounter with my actual pokemon (rather than just sim data ones)
That said, I think Karenfags aren't quite getting that if you want to use what you like, don't get fussy when the rules of Smogonfags slightly mock your favorite pokemon because within their rules your pokemon doesn't perform well typically.
