We love Pokemon and we compete in battles, which may be classified as wars.
Therefore, whatever the fuck is the ruleset is playing fair. As long as all active participants agree to the ruleset, it's fair. Smogon ruleset. VGC ruleset. Hackers ruleset. If everyone agrees to play under the same rules, everything is fucking fair. If people don't agree to play with the same rules, then you have to compromise. That's geopolitics right there.
