Yes, I play to have fun, but that doesn't mean I just blindly rush in doing whatever.

>>12464784 like i said, i dont think anyone is wrong to enjoy playing how they want, but im asking if anyone still plays this without tactics, needing specific pokemon with specific moves and specific this and specific that just because its overpowered etc.

I only choose specific pokemon and their movesets. All of that breeding junk can die in a fire.

The main story is my casual, just for fun time.

>>12464930 Ah see this what I mean really, playing thtough without... uhmm.. I guess without 'trying' to have the best, and just enjoying the story.

>>12464826 But that's exactly what you said.
>Now, before you answer, I don't consider researching the best team, [...], to be playing a game for fun. Thats alot of work just for a game. Backpedal faster. Oh wait, let me guess, this is a social expriment!

>>12464975 Interesting that you got that out of what I said, I'm glad you joined the conversation.

>>12464980 It's kind of hard to have a perfect team during the story run anyway, unless you transferred/hacked a team, because EV training and breeding tends to be difficult before post-game.

>>12464998 I did not anywhere mention that it's bad if anyone else finds those things fun, i simply asked if anyone still plays without doing these things. I mentioned that -I- dont find such things enjoyable. Not that other people cannot enjoy these things.

>>12465037 You asked if someone plays "just for fun". That implies that what you describe afterwards isn't fun. Saying "casual play is just for fun" means that "other kind of playing" isn't.
Everyone plays the games just for fun, otherwise you're a masochist bastard. Each person has a different way of having fun. You wanna discuss competitive vs casual, fine, but you started in a terrible way.

>>12465094 You are correct. I dislike the things I mentioned, and asked if anyone still plays for fun.

I bred and EV trained a Squirtle to use Evolite Wartortle in my B2 story run, he wasn't very good but I still considered trying something unconventional to be fun!

>>12465240 >still plays for fun So the others don't play for fun? You seriously don't see the problem of what you're saying? Pic related, this is how you sound.

I play randoms on Pokemon Showdown sometimes but mostly I just play the games casually, single player.

I play mainly for fun and to beat the gyms/elite four/champion. If I really like the game that much I try to "Catch 'em all" which I did for Pokemon Red and Ruby.

>>12465353 That being said i love tactic games
So I'll still be smart about my moves and items but my team is ALWAYS based on my favorites

>>12465327 No, you're saying that what others do IT'S NOT FUN. It's ok if you don't like it, but you keep calling others out for what they do. There's a diffrence bewteen
>i prefer casual playing over competitive, it's more fun for me that way and
>my way is fun and yours isn't You're doing the second.

Yup. I tried a little to get into the whole thing, but the problem is that I know so few that play it and I want to learn by doing together with them. I always just pick a wide range of types which I think look cool and then I pick some moves I think sounds good or that I know are great. I try to catch them all, though ,but it's hard without anyone to trade with

I'm one of those people that catches the first neat-looking Pokemon I see and rushes straight into everything. I do like having my team all be the same color scheme though...once I went for blue and had way too many water types on my team. Let's not do that again.

How can someone possibly play "without using tactics"? Select your moves completely at random? OP have you never switched one of your mons out because of a poor matchup or made sure to get an electric type for that upcoming water gym? Everyone uses "tactics", some are just better at it than others. The question is retarded.

>>12464757 lol what? dude ur such a fagget, have you ever played any fucking game ever? Every single game has elitest class players. Does anybody play WoW just for fun, nonchalant and not caring? No. Pokemon is like that, you beat the game and get all the pokemon what the fuck else is there to do? You aren't going to delete your fucking save and start it all over again so people who ENJOY pokemon and want to keep playing it, go to endgame - endgame is bredding, IV / EV training, team building etc.
If you don't like the fact that there are people who play games for their end-game then stop fucking posting shit because every single fucking game has these people.

>>12465460 so basically grinding through the main game because you don't use any strategy?
no, i don't really get what he means either, the op is worded really badly
Anonymous
>>12465415 Once again, you are correct.
You actually make sense slightly this time, I do think my way is fun and yours isnt, however, please refer to almost every post where I've mentioned that I in no way have a problem with other people enjoying playing how ever they like. I think we're going in circles here pal. Still nothing constructive?

>>12465484 It saddens me that you think this way, I am not trying to stir up trouble, I am just saying I play this game without making a job out of it.
>>12465510 There's a difference in 'ooh shit she sent out an electric type while I have a water type, better switch' and 'this person has 3 electric types and a ground type so ill make sure I have the perfect strategy of the right mons for the job'
Anonymous
>>12465514 I am contributing. I'm responding to the bullshit you said in your first op comment. Are people playing just for fun? EVERYONE plays just for fun. Always have, always will. You don't decide if others are having fun or not.

>>12466531 >LET'S TYPE WHAT I DISAGREE WITH IN CAPS >while I remain perfectly calm and correct >NO NO LOGICAL FALLACY OP literally says he doesn't consider that method of playing as fun in the very first post and he's incredibly clear cut about how that's not allowed to be considered a way of having fun.

You never figured out the gym covered in water probably has water types and you should bring in a grass or an electric type?
