>>34516771I remember thinking like this.
>fall in love with Silvally>soft reset for my perfect Type: Null>raise it to lv.100 and hyper train it>make my team up of other Pokemon I like like Zoroark or Tsareena>hit Battle Spot Singles>every team, every single team has Garchomp, M-Metagross, M-Salamence, Celesteela, and Tapus, ect>team gets BTFO by Pokemon that are just straight up betterI got tired of losing, so I began building my team to counter these mons, but I suddenly realized I was using Pokemon I didn't give a shit about, and I asked myself 'what's the fucking point of battling if you aren't using Pokemon you like?'
I did luck out a tiny bit since Mawile is my favorite Pokemon, and I'm really fond of Mareanie and thus Toxapex, but outside of that all my favorite mons are pretty shit.
Anyway competitive Pokemon is zero fun, I wish I realized this before I wasted ages breeding and all that.
