Why would you make a fanfic about endless switching and stall? I thought fanfics were supposed to be exciting.

Smogonbrains don’t understand excitement. Somehow they’re content with 600+ turn battles

They don't care about excitement. They care about winning.
Stall is their way of scaring off anyone who actually wants to have fun, and making it so they always win because any sane person would forfeit as soon as it becomes clear nothing fun is gonna happen.

If it's a popular strategy maybe it's not about the players of the game but the rules of the game itself.

6v6 singles just isn't build for pvp, it puts way too much emphasis on long term strategies at the cost of everything else.

Agreed but I also see people wanting to have the option to use a full team and don't get pissed at their decision. It's like if I were a LoL player and was pissed off at the meta of ARAMs or if I was a CS:GO player pissed off at the 2v2 meta. If I never seek out that playerbase that uses unofficial rules I would never come into contact with them. Why is this such a hard concept for people?

Reminder that on Smogon "double switching" is considered an exciting and aggressive play.

Don't even ask about their beloved "triple switch".

Wow what if they made a mega evolution that bounces back the former and is immune to the latter... and smogon didn't ban it. Hmmmmmmmm

They took their sweet time with it, just like every other stalltranny pokemon like dugtrio. And they missed it so much they brought it back, because the fanfic simply wasn't captivating enough without the self insert hero.

Do you smogontards have selective memory? How many months did you let the 3 moles of stall run a train on your fanfic meta?

Do you? Arena Trap was banned 3 years ago and stall has been bad to mediocre ever since.

They tried to ban it about 3 months in, but players came to the conclusion that arena trap was the problem rather than the moles themselves.

I’m sorry but if you stall, YOU ARE A LOSER WITH A LOT OF TIME ON YOUR HANDS. FUCK YOU. I’m trying to end matches as soon as possible to get back to my life. I’m an adult.
