>>31207348Like a quarter of the people who use showdown, myself included, don't have fun playing competitively. The idea of using well established sets is just boring as hell to me. Yeah, my eviolite vigoroth will never beat your scarfchomp, but even if I loose I'm still having fun.
I feel like whenever these threads come up and people shit on builds they don't like, it's actually just people completely misunderstanding what draws a select group of people into the pokemon fanbase in the first place.
And you need us tinkerers you score obsessed asshats, we're the ones finding new builds and exploring game mechanics. Without us, you don't have a healthy meta game, you have the same "everyone uses the same shit" metagame that all of you also hate.
Success for me isn't getting the best score, it's when my set gets traction.
