>10k people erping and only 1.4k playing
So...this is the power of competitive Pokemon.

I do geniuenly wonder how many people are playing Scarlet and Violet right now worldwide. Maybe 5K? 10K?

not surprising, Competitive Pokemon is a farce that only exists to shill CHARIZARD and the FOTM shillmons.

You just realized competitive play is just like a 1/4 of the whole game target?

Most kids don't care for Smogon rules.

And even less than that play VGC.
And yet comptards have somehow taken so much space in the franchise, between people widespread saying Pokemon bad in comp are somehow bad in the main game or that Pokemon should become more geared towards comp.
This franchise is a shitshow

Smogon has always been the retarded cousin that somehow still hasn't died. That's what you get when you have 40 year olds and 14 year olds running competitive. Official vgc has always been very popular and always has a better meta, even without the big brains telling you what mons you can use.

Disingenuous cocksucker. Show me the active players for Nintendo’s dog shit online, across all titles. and even if the numbers are higher, guess which player base pays for internet TWICE?

All """Pokemon competitive""" is complete dogshit that less than a thousandth of the people who actually buy this franchise give a shit about. Smogon, VGC, whatever other retard Discord shit you do, it's all garbage. The only acceptable PvP in this franchise is casual friends actually having fun battling with whatever Pokemon they like, not an embarrassing "meta" that's vastly inferior to every competitive game in existence.
Watching people fight over Smogon or VGC is like watching two obese trannies slapfight over a shot of estrogen. It's funny, sad and disgusting to watch and the faggots fighting need to kill themselves asap

Its a random friday night with the only noteworthy event going on being a rerun. Something like Elden Ring probably sold a good 10 million on Steam alone and its charting at 25k players currently on. Maybe 5K-10K is a bit of a lowball but I doubt it goes past 40K.

Someone posted the actual metrics in another thread, its 147k active players in SV at a given time rn, which is still rather pathetic for a game that sold 20+ million but still more active users than most games ever get.

What a retarded brainrot smogontard. It doesn't matter if Smogon or concurrent Nintendo players are bigger or not. The point is that 95%+ of the playerbase does not give a fuck about competitive.

Highlighted a few of the actual potatoIQ retards in this thread.
Pic-rel? It's not release week. It's this morning.
Smogon has always been an autistic drop of water in a VERY large pool - but Smoglets would have to leave their bubble and talk to living, breathing humans to grasp this.

1. You didn't respond to the contents of my post. So calling me retarded is acting like I said something false.

2. 7k streamers tells me nothing about how many people are actually playing. Or that plays VGC.

If its a live player count then these simulators are used way more than i thought, the number of online players is higher than many online games rn
