Tbf chess is not that deep of a game and only played by boomers so pokefags are automatically higher intellect that chess players

He's playing VGC which is far inferior than a good 6vs6.
Nintendo should do 6vs6 battles. Then we'll see who's best.

That article just has a clickbait title. What it's saying is that most principles of game theory don't apply to it, because of the deckbuilding element, and therefore it's unsolvable. Pokemon's teambuilding element makes it unsolvable for the same reason.

more than just the deck building - pokemon has both players perform their actions on the same turn. if chess had a similar system it would also be unsolvable.

Fuck no. There is a reason they don't use it for official tourneys. That shit would take hours per set and if you put it on time stall wins 99% of the time.

They don't do that. The only way they could feasibly do that is by rebalancing the entire fucking game

competitive pokemon is a game of best remembering the meta and predictions made based on this information.
in many respects it's like a competitive stock market: you have to know what's happening with the biggest stocks to win. but the biggest decider will be some 10% event you could've never seen coming.

i'm pretty sure half of the west views traders as gamblers/corrupt politicians. regardless of what they view them as, though, that does not make it fact. many people in the west view chess players as "turbo geniuses".
meanwhile the real turbo geniuses are too busy contributing to the collective knowledge of humanity and/or killing themselves.

Ahahahaha. 6v6 is shit. Single battles aren't very complex, even at higher levels unless people are running gimmick sets. High ladder sets on Showdown are similar/identical to 3v3 Battle Station sets. 6v6 doubles is pretty cool though.

I blocked him on twitter ever since so I don't know if he changed his mind but I remember being aggressive towards SWSH haters.
he even called SWSH the best pokemon pvp game even before its release
