Did you never play chess or what?

Right, Pokemon isn't fucking chess, I get it. But stall vs. stall games need some hard nerves to win. You can't just stack spikes and sweep in less than ten turns, you need to THINK at least five turns ahead. It's more skill-intensive and more rewarding. I'd take that over HO shitfest that's little more than a ceremonial coinflip any day.

There aren't as much as you think, most of them are sand offense, stall, BP chains, sand offense with Birdspam, and Deosharp. Try to actually play instead of watching replays.

Netbattle. Though I'm not sure if it was around in 2nd gen.

I played competitive gen 3, 5 and 6 and I'd say shittiest is a coinflip between 5 and 6, but probably 5 with all the weather. This is coming from someone who ran a sun team last gen. 6 still has time to get improve.

More like the few people who like Gen 6 have only played Gen 5 and 6.

People who've played Gen 4 or 3 can see Gen 6 for being the least skillful, least competitive, least diverse and least fun of all the generations so far. Including 5.

Of course Ubers would be affected more, they have sky-high attacks even past OU's disgusting power level. What were you fucking expecting???

All they did was twiddle their dicks as the meta degenerated around them, and now the general CONSENSUS is that the meta is vomit-inducing.

Even the weather wars are back, just look at the sand teams, and you know the rain teams are going to follow pretty fucking quickly.

Sorry, I think I factored in Stealth Rock. But still. Blissey is a common "Counter" to Landorus. And if you Focus Blast on switch, you can make your opponent look like a fool.

The fact of the matter was that it was irrelevant back then, and it would've stayed irrelevant if Haunter the Jew didn't draw attention to it in his stupid ass self-fulfilling prophecy. Same for Baton Pass, which only one guy at the top of the ladder used.

Meanwhile the problems that are right in front of your fucking eyes, like the proliferation of ridiculous fucking wallbreakers, sweepers and hazard stackers, all of those are not worth a fucking fart of a discussion apparently. How convenient.

It's called a power shift. It happens every generation. There's constant discussion on it.

You're right, it's Gen 7 and Gen 8 :^)

It's only a matter of time until the franchise spirals into oblivion with a fuckup of catastrophic proportion, just like Metroid.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THERE STILL BEING BROKEN SHIT IN THE META THAT YOU CAN'T EXCUSE WITH ANY VARIATION OF "GIT GUD" TO STAY FOR ANOTHER YEAR

BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE GETTING OFF YOUR ASS AND FIXING SHIT. THIS IS A REMINDER THAT YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Rather than going by how high your priority is, the move gives a +% bonus to calculated speed for that move, around 10% to 30%.

This doesn't really change a thing, fast threats are still going to sweep, only slower pokes with priority will be blasted into nothingness.

You can "git gud" against literally anything, faggot. I remember arrogant faggots telling people to "git gud" against Mega Luke and Genesect.. That's all well and good, but now you're staring down someone of equal skill level, and you have the misfortune of not using brokenshit yourself, what then?

The depends on what you consider a positive trait.
The mechanics and BST updates as well as megas are pretty positive.
Also the meta has the potential to the one of the best but people are dragging out the old one as much as possible instead of changing things up.
