Do you believe Pokemon played competitively is the best kind of competitive game, the deepest and requires the most skill to play?

Naw it is pretty terrible. Things like crits, accuracy variation, and such were intentionally added to help casuals. It isn't the best competitive game, but it is fairly accessible which leads to its popularity.

Really, any game that starts equally and is influenced only by the player's decision is a good strategy/competitive game.

implying adv wasn't crap competitively
enjoy having everything walled by 2 pokemon, crappy mechanics (no physical/special split was a tragedy) and no offensive items except choice band

d/p was better than b/w though, largely because team preview fucked everything up (and smogonfags didn't ban everything that crapped all over their sand teams)
