>>36653805You're the one who said that the only thing that matters is new pokemon. Nobody but you mentioned anything about storylines being the reason why they play the games.
>There's absolutely no thrill playing on Showdown compared on cartYeah, because I love facing a team comprised solely of Ubers-tier pokemon that completely anihilate anything else and not having the option to play with pokemon of a certain power level, I prefer being forced to use only the best pokemon to win. I also like it when an opponent has a sleep move and wins because I wasn't allowed to attack before all six of my pokemon got put to sleep. I also enjoy when moves like Double Team and Minimize are spammed so I have a fraction of a chance to land a hit.
