Let's try to make this civil and not shit up yet another /vp/ thread. There is no right way to play Pokemon, so anyone can play however they want.

Many of us play Pokemon in-game only and don't care at all about competitive. Why don't you play competitively?

For me it's the same song and dance. Everyone seems to use the same 15 Pokemon or so, a good portion of the Pokemon have the exact same build and moveset. It gets very old after awhile and I'd rather just start a new game and try out new Pokemon.
