Now compare that to the anime where fights are determined on plot armor and the narrative being pushed that episode

Remember that time Jessie caught a Shellder for one day and she was somehow beating Ash and Misty with it?

The games love that power of friendship BS as well, and then they swing right around and have eugenics and a comparatively small pool of Pokemon be the solution if you actually want to win. It comes off as super tonedeaf.

And yeah, I know the games are aimed at kids, but it's not like kids won't try to battle online with their ingame parties, get slaughtered then wonder why the enemy's Pokemon were so much stronger.

The anime is basically a 30 minute advertisement and that's why shitmons get elevated to the level of legendaries. Pikachu sells more merchandise than Raichu so it gets more screentime and power buffs.

A few stat changes isn't gonna fix anything.
What Pokemon really needs is new unique moves/abilities out the ass, making every single species distinct in some way. ANY kind of niche, no matter how small or situational would be nice.

It's almost as if NPCs can say these things because the one in charge of dialogue is trying to make them varied humans beings and not all one hivemind that only believe in the same thing. People who only view Pokemon based on their potential for victory over whether they actually like the Pokemon or not have been around since the series started.

People can battle with whatever Pokemon they want. Simple as.

A battle is a competition. Which the goal of is to win. And if you use garbage Pokemon, you will lose.

Use whatever Pokemon you want, and I'll use whatever Pokemon I want.

Most people are content with playing the main games which don't have difficulty and don't require any strategy, so they can use their favourites and get along just fine.

I prefer challenging games like fangames or playing competitive multiplayer, so I use Pokemon I might not like at a glance but can learn to like because of how it feels to play with them and how they interact with other members of my party.

Ultimately if you're using Pokemon you don't like and you're not enjoying yourself, you're probably playing at a level too high for yourself and should stick to playing the main games or something.

I don't think this guy's saying you need to can your bros for the hottest meta picks of the season. Just that you shouldn't be a mouth-breathing retard that throws his pikachu at ground types like Ash does.

So basically, play smart with the mons in you have on your team.

True. It's more often that a shitmon is just outclassed rather than actually bad. See Wigglytuff as a key example.
Making every mon completely different makes it so they step on each other's toes as little as possible.

The main game was designed to be easy so people could win with their favorites, no matter how shitty they were. Then when they use them in a place that poses a challenge, like a battle facility, they scream bullshit, the AI was cheating etc.

That's bullshit though. If they wanted people to be able to win with any Pokemon then why make them so drastically different in strength to begin with?
Most difficulty hacks do a better job of letting you use any Pokemon, since they often come with buffs to shitmon alongside.
