I love the idea of the competitive scenery of Pokémon. But in the end, it's unbalanced and most teams end up being the same with gyro plants and microwaves/refrigerators. What is the fun in that if you are limited to ugly ass pokémon and can't use your favorites if you want to win?

I don't understand competitive.
I don't mind playing some competitive games, but to me pokemon was always a single player experience with battling/trading friends as gimmick. I'd rather choose my bros and have fun than obsess over numbers.

That is not a bad thing at all. The thing is, if you want to train a team's EV points so it will be competitive, no matter how correctly you do it, that team will never be good if it's pokémon are not classified as OU/UBER. Because there is a reason why they are classified like that, because they are the ones that win.

You can also play uu and nu and lower tiers. It's actually more fun

Is there a good amount of people playing those tiers? Like in the online simulators?
I used to play Pokémon NetBattle/Online. What is the most used today?

I think that's through a combination of factors other than just choosing "weak Pokémon." Many more Pokémon are viable in high tiers than are actually OU, it just depends on which you pick for your team and if you actually know what you're doing or not. The competitive scene, at least what I've played, can be a very varied experience.

Nice, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

I agree until certain point, back in 2009 I used a team that had Slowbro (it was UU at the time, I think) and Marowak (NU) and they would be good used in the strategy I built around them. But they weren't nearly as consistent as a OU team, so in the end I think it really comes down to unbalance.

I like the idea of competitive pokemon and doing the raising is pretty fun when I need to kill some time, but I just can't use pangoro to save my life and that kills my motivation. TR team, pivot core with landorus, offensive core with gengar/talonflame, it just keeps ending up dead weight.

That would mean everyone there has been the champion at some point, and we know that's not true.

Wally is there and he didn't got to face the Elite 4. Looker is there and he ended there with amnesia and awokr in the shore.

Battle Resort is just a resort. You are invited for free because you are the champion but people with money can go there.

That's why most trainers in there are Gentlemen, Models , Rich Kids and Ladies
