Deep down, I think everyone wishes they could. But for obvious reasons, it doesn't always work competitively, and in some games it was hard to even do it in-game (though some would argue any game can be beaten with any Pokemon, and I'll agree with that).>HeartGold, currently running around with Noctowl, Slowking, Quilava, Venomoth, and Sunflora all around level 30. Just finished soft-resetting for a proper Red Gyarados, so I'm off to Rocket Hideout. >Most recent X playthrough was done with only randomly-found or in-game event shinies that I hadn't trained so they were under level 15 before the first gym. Steelix, Golduck, Pelipper, Butterfree, and Dragonite, whom I tried not to use.

There are plenty of shitty battlers on wifi I can beat with a mediocre team of otherwise lousy Pokemon that I love to battle with regardless. But sometimes I lose. And that's okay.

>>19477296 My Gen 5 team seemed to all be slow, bulky heavy hitters, with no health.
It was still fun, but my team was wiped out in main game all the time.

>>19477397 Pretty much this. I don't get why Karenfags make such a big deal about being in bad ratings when it's actually the perfect way to match you up against either people with really good mons that don't play well or other karenfags just looking to have fun.

>>19477296 If we are talking about being a Karenfag in-game then you are not a Karenfag, you are a reasonable person, who doesn't use their favorite pokes in-game??

anyway, i have a friend who actually had no idea what he was doing. had no idea what ev or iv values were, and when gen 6 came out with an easy way to train EVs, he trained his garchomp in special attack -_-

Every competitive team I make starts off as shit I like. I slowly change it based on weaknesses, and it just ends up being straight competitive.Though there is that awesome moment when a thing you like turns out awesome.

>>19483716 I play little cup, and that's where a lot of creative thinking can pay off. With OU and such it's basically all power. You have to replace power with sneaky bullshit the higher you go.

>>19483516 I know this feel. I've loved Gengar ever since the episode of the anime way back when, and only learned that he was really good competitively when I came here.
To answer OP, I Karenfag both competitively and in-game, but for some reason a lot of the Pokemon I like happen to be in UU/RU (aside from Gengar who is currently molesting Ubers), so I manage to find uses for them and manage to put up a fight and be semi-decent with them.

>>19477296 I'm in SoulSilver with mostly my favorite gen II mons right now. Umbreon, Ttar (yet to evolve), Quagsire, Ampharos and Meganium. I decided to give Togetic a chance this time after always preferring Noctowl, and it grew on me. So yeah.
Beat Clair earlier today, and I'll probably beat the E4 tomorrow.
