>>31223264I'm not afraid, but I've tried to get into it but it was extremely boring.
Not to mention competitive people dislike Pokémon for their stats rather than their designs, backstories, and personality. Like, what the fuck?
Competitive people also love to ride their high horses and shit on casual fans of the series.
I find competitive games to be a fucking retarded concept. Sure, it's a nice hobby but I never understood the mentality behind it. This mentality of, "become a pro" seems stupid. Not only do you have to spend a lot of time playing, but you also have to gain skills which are very hard to gain. And even if you win and become the Pokémon world champion chances are you're almost definetely a depressed virgin who spends too much time playing games, which both drains you mentally, physically, and sometimes even emotionally.
I am all of these things but that's beyond the point. Most do it for fun, but I just can't find any fun in it.
