You're a retard. If it was up to you, every team would be 6 shell smash cloysters vs 5 smeargles and a Mewtwo.

You dare say you are skilled when you can't account for random chance? No thank you, Mr. Smogon.

Not him, but I can see what he's getting at. A truly skilled player should be able to adapt and turn the tables over even if the opponent gets lucky and things go sour.

Predicting coin flips is so skillful.

There's a difference between managing random factors and having an entire game based on luck.

you need to see a talk by Dr. Richard Garfield 'Luck in games'. He's the guy who made Magic:The Gathering. There's PLENTY of both chance and skill involved in that game. Mutually exclusive my ass.

If you need an internet fan community like Smogon to invent a ton of made-up guidelines and rules just to make it slightly enjoyable, that should tell you something about the state of the metagame.

Noticed how you seperated them? Chance and skill are qualities of most, if not all, games but if you lucked out, you lucked out, not because you were so skilled you ended up lucky, which is what you're getting at.
