So I've played competitively since Gen 4, and I've got to say, it's pretty retarded.

Why bother with other megas when Lucario, Pinsir, and formerly M-Kanga and M-Gengar exist?

Don't have a Pokemon that counters Prankster users? You're fucked.

You need priority but only a handful of Pokemon make good use of priority attacks.

Parahax with Serene Grace is a thing. Yes, you can counter it, but wow.

My point is, when it comes down to it, Pokemon is seriously not designed to be played competitively. There's no balance, and it is largely luck based. You don't need to respond by telling me to "git gud", because I am. I win nearly all of my matches, and I've found that you can never really have a team that covers your bases so that you can rely solely on skill, so you either have to use the most over-powered shit, or create a team to directly counter what's popular at the time.

We'd all be much better off not worrying about it and just enjoying the franchise. So much hassle for such a shitty meta. Just my two cents.
