Just faced this team and I just have to ask: do people actually enjoy following guides word-for-word? The player's Pokemon were all shiny, except the ones that had HA, so they were clearly passionate and spent a lot of time grinding and breeding, but all for what? Just to netdeck?

Yes, winning is great and I like to win too, but for me, a lot of the fun I have playing is from trying out different Pokemon and Pokemon teams. So I just can't understand why someone would spend so much effort on what essentially boils down to a "top 10 Pokemon" list.
