>>36216603Pokemon as a game to ve played through is great. At the competitive level is is garbage. Imagine you're playing chess with someone. You try to move your piece but you have to roll a dice first. If you roll a 6. You can't move this turn. Guess what you rolled. 6. Your opponent moves and instead of moving he makes it so that you have to roll a 1,2, or 3 to do anything. Your turn now. You roll a 1. So you get to do something. You decide to move on of your pieces and take of of his. Wait. You need to roll again. You have to roll a 4 or greater to take his piece out. You roll a 2. His turn. He rolls. He takes your piece out. Do you see where I'm going with this? On top of that only a 50 of 800+ monsters are worth using. So even have favorites chances our they are out classed by something and you'll have to use them instead because they have a better chance a rolling the right numbers you need to win.
tl;dr Pokemon at a competitive level is far to RNG based of having little variety in terms of team building.
