>>29565393If someone beats me with PuP Mega Kangaskhan, it wasn't because of PuP, it was because they were good at the game. Being Uber used to mean something.
>>29565384So if I beat someone who uses a powerful Pokemon, they're just bad and it doesn't count, but if they beat me using the same strategy, then they were carried by the Pokemon and we should obviously ban it. Gotcha.
How about this? Stop playing by Smogon's rules. Stop playing on Showdown altogether. Try new things. Not everything Smogon does is incorrect, but they are cancer to the minds of Pokemon players.
"I might not have a counter to such and such, what a travesty! Maybe I'll lose!"
"Counters" to individual Pokemon have rarely mattered since gen 4. Losing once in a while is normal. Abandon 6vs6 singles as the default meta and find freedom.
