>>22120281You have a good point, most people "get gud" with really interesting sets that most people don't think about. Such as the "Baton Pass" teams that went around before they were banned by Smogon.
But you have to really ask yourself, are innovative sets like SwagPlay/Baton Pass are any better, they don't require prediction. What does the game turn into then? It doesn't turn into a competitive one. Which was why they were banned. I'm glad you brought that up, when everyone has the same 6-12-ish pokemon, it becomes like chess. It's not what you use, but how you use them. You need prediction.
