>>53343534Pokemon was never really intended to be a serious pvp game, people tried to twist it into one. Shit like Double Team and Swagger give people fits, but critical hits and status hax are also luck based.
I played comp for over 5 years before I realized how little fun it actually was. Then I just sat back and watched as things got more and more busted. Then people panicked and flailed around trying to create a semblance of balance in a game where there is none and the devs aren't interested in it.
