Competitive Pokemon throws all that out though. Battles are just number-crunching simulators where you're rearded for being cold and only using the handful of objectively superior Pokemon above all.
>>44564955>ask question>HURR YOU MUST BE ANGRYI'm just trying to understand the mindset here. To me it just looks like people setting up a Mario Kart tournament and taking it stupidly seriously despite the game clearly being intended to be a chaotic bit of fun - and designed in a way that is inherently uncompetitive with tons of random and unfair elements to it.
