Masuda will forever be based for all the battle themes he composed over the years. He is one of the best video game composers in Nintendo and of all time, hands down.
There is absolutely nothing, not a single thing, wrong with Baton Pass. It is entirely balanced.
Smogon has been a net negative to unofficial competitive Pokemon. The only thing it's introduced of value is usage-based tiering.
The Pokemon fanbase, /vp/ included, is full of retarded tasteless skilless faggots. They suck at battling, they suck at arguing, they suck at designing. I've spent years on PS! and met like one or two people I would consider cool without too much reservation.
Johto games suck and are possibly the worst of the Classic quadrilogy. Both GSC and HGSS are massively overrated.
Pokemon designs were never "good", the vast majority in Kanto are mediocre at best and are carried by the artstyle.
