>>56500417My gf's 10 year old cousin challenged me to a battle this past Easter. I played competitively for money tournaments in gens 2-7. After sweeping him 7 times in a row (getting Rape Ape, Palafin, and Flutter Mane banned from all future battles in the process) he asked how I was so good, and I told him I played at the pro level for more than twice as long as he's been alive. At that point I felt both old and sad that I've wasted so much life on a franchise for children.
