>>18405571Yeah, I'm aware that Smogon administrators themselves have stated that they have created their system to allow for using any given Pokemon to their fullest potential in the altered, tiered singles mode rather than give people a framework to bash the choices of others.
This is why I have no problems with Smogon itself.
Rather with what players outside of general competitive behaviour make out of it:
Both with those who whine about tiers and meta that is just as good as any other one,
And those that take smogonisms just to be able to, for instance, gloat on Tumblr/deviantART/Pokemon blog about how the pokemon they hate is shit and should never be used
