How come whenever I battle japanese kids on Battle Spot, they take forever to choose their pokemon or move? Are they hoping I forfeit out of boredom?

It's called strategy, baka. Something Americans know nothing about.

yesterday I had one take 1 min 20 sec to pick their Pokémon, 58 seconds to make their first move, and immediately surrender after the first round after I had used Will-O-Wisp.

Its so you fuck up. As time passes you are more likely to forget a small detail that could when you a match or fuck up a play because of your impatience. This "strategy" in a lot of turn based games and why time restraints are usually in place.

We all fuck up sometimes. I fought a random yesterday, had a brainfart and switched in Greninja against a Chesnaught then received a free Wood Hammer to the face for the trouble. I still walked all over the match, but god damn was that dumb.

There's some psychology in rock paper scissors. Some common knowledge is that people use rock more often than the other two, but there's strategy in judging your opponent based on what they use and whether they lost the last round.

Aren't they trying to predict which 3 Pokemon you would most likely choose by what they have?

Maybe they're actually dedicating some time and effort into their move selections instead of YOLOing around like a shitter with Pikachu.

>Is this faggot going to pull rocks on me or paper? Wait, what if he does NOTHING expecting me to expect him to switch since he's clearly at a disadvantage with his current scissors? No, that's too obvious, but what if he knows I'll think that's too bvious and he does switch and I end up on the low ground? There's also the possibility his chain saw will come out and it will wreck my plastic cup, but I bet I could counter that by switching in my greasy hot dog
>This internal debate continues for 5 hours

Yup, rock, paper, scissors. Such simple.

This is actually happening to me right now. The real problem is, the fucker I'm battling has Pokemon that are above level 50. He could slaughter my team.

Just come on, man. What is this shit?

Happens to me a lot too.
Like I'm winning 6-3 and suddenly they take ages to do anything, even when they're not switching (which is above them anyway)

I always thought they were being "that guy"

Always check the rules when you accept a fight.
Some smartasses will try to trick you by setting the level to "no limit"

Which is hilarious to me because my team is level 80, thus it often backfires and ensures I win even more easily

I'm never battling another person again.
I can't handle the embarrassment.

After losing my first 6 matches online, my team is now specially designed to beat teams comprised entirely of Ubers. It gets raped regularly by all kinds of other bullshit. Guess I'm retiring too. Damn you spore Breeloom...

I only ever pick rock. And I always tell my opponent this before hand, which makes them pick scissors out of sheer confusion. Mind games.
