>>25052026I go to Bowser in Mario kart because he is familiar to me. I have played every mario kart game.
If I played Bowser in every match with friends, i might get bored, so it is up to me to change carts or characters.
If I played Mario kart every day, I would get bored. So I do not play everyday. I play a couple times a month, if even that often.
Sometimes i play Mario Tennis or I change gears entirely and play Magic, or Yu-Gi-Oh. I go back and play
Parallel universes 64. It's fun for me to play that game, even though I beat it, because I like rediscovering areas and playing through the levels.
All these things I feel about my hobbies can be applied to pokemon. You're operating on the false premise that competitive battling amounts to playing all day, every day. Few people share your opinion because no one can wrap their head around why you would think that Gengar is bad or annoying just because it's popular. It makes sense to you in your head, but we don't live in that world, we live in reality.
