I'm sad that I can't battle against the world of pokemon fans at large either, but you don't see me complaining about it.
It's humbling for me to see that actually putting time into a system and striving to understand and exploit it produces results. Pretending you're a special snowflake who can become a pokemon master is what the single-player storyline is all about. Multiplayer can be for casual funsies too, but if you want to act like you're good at it then you need to spend time learning how to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
