There is still people that believes that VGC is not the best format.
When a VGC player sees another amazing player play they aspire to be that guy.
When a Smogon player sees an ideal player they shitpost about how their strats are uncompetitive or "x Pokemon breaks the game"

VGC players climb the mountain to reach the top.
Smogon players complain that there is a mountain and declare that wherever they are is the new mountain top.
