>>58850197>>t. VGC player since gen 6Oh, please.
You say it like if Gen 5 and Gen 4 VGCs were super duper ultra mega hyper giga developed long-standing metas or something.
3/4 of Gen 4 VGC was a meme featuring explosion and the one time it was not was a GS Cup with rules so wacky it's never been done again and Gen 5 was goodstuffs left and right.
If you're gonna shitpost me while trying to parade yourself as a oldfag at least say gen 8 or something. Do you seriously not realize how fucking old gen 6 is at this point?
>if it was power creep at least you'd have pokémon nuking each other which would give battles some semblance of thrillOh boy I oneshot you, you oneshot me, I oneshot you, you oneshot me, gg ez.
What the fuck is thrilling about that?
And we already had that too, it's called Reg I, and it was fucking buns.
Mind you, I don't disagree with you in that fake out/pivot spam is also not part of the cancer, but it's undeniable that Gen 9 powercreep and some cancers from Gen 8 like Urshifu, that were ironically enough curbed thanks to Mememax, haven't made the game unfun as hell.
