>>57241288The best battlers on this board for singles used to be in /cpg/ (competitive Pokemon general) but they eventually turned into a circlejerk that were more Smogon than /vp/ because the board was so stupid and uncaring for competitive that the general grew less and less active until it couldn't stay up as normally as other generals. There used to be good single battlers in Showderp too. Basically, the good battlers are associated with Smogon.
As for doubles, there have been a few people confirmed to place at regionals on this board (posted proof with the award), so there are some good players.
And then aside from all that, the people who are good are probably going to change with each format. Some were more active during Gen 5 era meta, Gen 6, Gen 7, etc. So looking for the people who are good now might only amount to a snapshot of just who's active during Gen 9's meta.
>t. someone who used to be a very involved and high-placing competitive player during Gen 6 but stopped keeping up years ago
