I miss the days when you could just play the game with the Pokémon you liked and not be absolutely destroyed by everybody who spent the last six weeks breeding and training the most perfect team of the special unbalanced Pokémon with the best disposition and IVs because hey, it wouldn't be a children's role-playing game if people didn't take it way too fucking seriously.

It's like the super, super professional competitive Super Smash Brothers scene. Like, goddamn people try really hard to make things not fun anymore
