>Every other PvP game has fan made formats with rules
>Including games with already dedicated developer support, even when they balance the game frequently and listen to fans
>Every other fanbase is cool with this and supports it
>In fact some fanbases prefer it if fans just made their own format so any changes they want only affect them if they want said changes to affect them
>Most games only have like a dozen or 2 characters/weapons and the developers are wise enough to not make something way better than everything else by a large margin
>Cue in Pokemon
>Franchise has hundreds of usable creatures, hundreds of items, dozens of abilities, and hundreds of moves
>Game devs barely try to balance shit, making things like Flutter Mane, and not listening to fans, like not nerfing Urshifu despite universal complaints
>Game balance is infrequent. It only happens when a new game/DLC comes out
>The official formats are absolutely bizzare, having nonsensical and rules with no rhyme or reason
>Such as banning Pokemon based on fucking lore reason (lore that they make up) or availability (which they also control and sometimes doesn’t even apply like with Mythicals who can be caught in game now)
>A community of fans try balancing out the game with democratic rulesets
>This offends an animal fucker YouTuber and his fans that are younger than the fan community so much they dedicate part of his life hating people who have 0 affect on their lives and shitpost constantly on a 4chan board for some reason
