My favorite team was Scoliopede, Mr Mime, Espeon, Vaporeon, Gliscor, and Smeargle, that was a baton pass team that never attacked, and it was the only fun I had in competitive gen 6 before smogon mercilessly banned it, and I'll never forgive them.

Smogon did you a favor.

Now you can have fun with other things, like Gen 4 or 5 singles.

Doubles are the best format because it opens up so much more interactions between moves, pokemon, and abilities, and gives pokemon that would otherwise be trash a chance to shine.

Singles are for boring losers.

Doubles is a stupid gimmick and your opinions have been consistently poo poo.

Look at these cool motherfuckers that are definitely not ugly last-minute pallete swap filler legendaries. "Only gained traction because of great stats and movepools," you say? Get outta town. That one dude whose hair is a hammer is so fly, look at that sexy goiter.

Spiked anal beads are a very Cool and Good thing to have coming out of your rear end.

Stats and movepools are what makes the pokemon.

in a sense yeah, itd be cool if nintendo cared at all about singles, but the design of the game is just pretty flawed. power creep has made oras kinda unfun, a "long term" strategy for some games is like "get diancie to 70%, DD with charizard X and win" which is kinda boring all things considered. i sound like an old person w/ this but its one of the main reasons im a big fan of older generations, probably the perfect balance between defensive and offensive power was gen 3 where i think singles peaked.

Personally I preferred gen 4, really need that physical/special split.
Admittedly I haven't bothered with laddering in years, last time was roughly before B2/W2 when pokemononline.eu was still the go to simulator. Permarain everywhere was boring and gen 6 was even more of a snoozefest even by merely looking in it's general direction.

literally every single player at worlds generated their pokemon. not a single one of them use legit bred or captured mons. verlisify only started hopping on the hacking thing when his channel started dying, hes also insanely terrible at the game yet claims that he has won a ton of tournaments w/ no proof of having won any of them (he bought a trophy off amazon and shows it on his channel from time to time as a "vgc trophy")

He's also incredibly defensive of his retarded teambuilding.

Speed tiers are way too absolute. A lot of Pokemon are either good or bad entirely based on what speed benchmarks they reach. It would be way better to blur those lines so the difference between two Pokemon with a few points of speed variance was much less important.

Speed tiers are fine as they are.
Also make damage not random, and rework crits to be more predictable because the ideal of removing them completely will never happen.

That's also totally incorrect.

The worst in-game is Serperior who rocks lower offensive stats and a worse movepool than Meganium in 2 games with a bunch of gyms and E4 designed to gently caress Grass types up. Serperiors only saving grace is its hidden ability, which you couldn't get until like Gen VI or VII I forget. Like at least Meganium can learn Earthquake and a bunch of status moves from level up, Serperior's got... Dragon Tail and Aerial Ace???

Seriously gently caress whoever designed all the Gen V starters. They're either absolute garbage mechanically (Serperior, Emboar) or garbage aethetically (Samurott) and they have the most boring typing. Yay, another loving Fire/FIghting, Grass, Water trio :effort:

What does it feel to have terminally horrible tastes

Whoever does not evolve their starter and allow it to reach peak potential is a disgrace to trainers everywhere.
This is why I consider Yellow to be non canon, and same for Let's Go.
