You were saying that there's no reason people can't do both smogon and cart play.
You were using online battles as an example.
Online battles are played anonymously for 99% of VGC battles on cart. Thus, there is no way to do it with smogon rules.
>That does not make any sort of sense. What the fuck are you even trying to say?You can play with friends and such with rules you agree on, but VGC online and random battles it's impossible.
>Which... is literally the entire point of smogon?I was the one who stated that to you since you didn't seem to get that they can't affect the game.
>Lol, what the fuck are you even babbling about? Are you seriously trying to get me to believe that there are people that attempt to use Smogon rules in a non-Smogon format?Yes, it's very common to experience rage quitting online when using stuff not deemed smogon-approved.
>But... Seriously- what the fuck point are you trying to make?You said
>unofficial, fan produced media>vgc is what you actually play on cartWhy can't you have both at the same time?
Isn't that literally the point of Smogon?
And I said that you can't because they are separate media.
>So pokemon is 'real' and smogon is 'not real'?Is that seriously the argument you're going for?Yes, Smogon is fanmade and cart is official. One is not a real Pokemon game, the other is.
>So the only way to have a civilized battle is to be open with communication?If you want to use smogon rules and play on cart, yes. I was explicitly referring to online competitive battling rather than local friendly battles but if you want to focus on that, be my guest.
