Was team preview a curse or a blessing?

A curse, I'd say. You don't get to see your enemy's deck in card games, you don't get to see their loadout in shooters.
The true casualty was Zoroark, his entire gimmick was murdered in the gen he debuted.

I miss gen 4 where you had to think carefully before revealing a new pokemon and think about what your opponent might be packing, so no

That's still a thing in VGC since you only bring 4 pokémon in battle, but sure, keep playing singlets like the drooling retard you are

It's straight retarded in 6v6 and clearly meant for the "pick 4" meta

you should be allow to have multiple items in the 6 pokemon, however you can't pick 4 that have the same items

This. There is so much more strategy now that you know what Pokemon your opponent is running.

This. Part of why I love randoms on showdown. Figuring out your opponent's team was part of the game.

>>41833983
I would argue the opposite. It just speeds up what would have happened naturally over a match. Team preview was a mistake. There are no true leads anymore, and it killed the "trap card" aspect of battles. Oh well. Adapt or die, I guess.

Are you implying that you see the opponent's items, moves, evs and ivs with Team Preview?

No, but to a certain extent with most pokemon there's only a few viable sets that they can run competitively

It makes sense for 3-mon singles/4-mon doubles, but is absolutely retarded in formats where you use your ebtire team.

A curse. Random battles are superior just for the single fact that there is no team preview, so you have to think about which pokemon to reveal and which ones to keep secret.

What I don't understand is why won't Game Freak give us the option to toggle team preview on/off?

Not a lot of Pokemon are versatile enough to use more than 2 sets efficiently, even then it's usually pretty easy to predict what their role will be based on their team members
