>>24696847This argument, and this entire thread are pointless because, Showdown exists. Showdown let's you skip past all the bullshit with the access of all the possible builds of Pokemon and team configurations at the click of a button, and then you can immediately dive right into battling.
It makes more sense for a player to battle on a simulation to gain skill and find a team that he likes and then, breed or inject the team he liked for irl battling.
Breeding and injecting are both just diferent means toward the same end. Even with one method being more efficient than the other, it doesn't matter when players who use different methods spend the same amount of time playing on Showdown.
So, what really matters is clocked in hours for battling. So what if breeding takes more time than injecting? The average /vp/oreon is an autistic manchild who, more or less, has all the free time in the world when compared to the average functional adult.
