"If somebody wins, the person who fought against that person will lose. That's battle. A good contender just seeks the next victory without bragging after winning, and without getting upset after losing."

"should"
Some of the dialogue in GSC sounded like it was trying to discourage what parts of the fanbase eventually turned into.

>>27157903
>Looks at all of smogon

I guess no one paid attention to that

>>27157985
Smogonites barely play in-game. Just look at Ray Rizzo.

You wonder why they'd get so invested in a shitty competitive scene when they hardly care about the games.

I'll be honest, that far into the game I skipped most dialogue. Too much of it is entirely inconsequential, even when it comes to flavor.

"There are bad ways to win-- and good ways to lose. What's interesting and troubling is that it's not always clear which is which. A flipped coin doesn't always land heads or tails. Sometimes it may never land at all..."

and they say we cant have a Dark type gym because the leaders would be evil... lol Dark is my favorite type... and these trainers sound intelligent and open minded...

I like to think it was, but nobody fucking listened. Everyone just became Paul.

She is buttressed against the old man at the ORAS battle resort, who says that in order to win, you will have to use pokemon you may not like. He made it to the battle resort, while Karen is stuck in the least relevant E4. Really speaks to something, doesn't it?

>>27159437
>Everyone just became Paul.
Or Silver who was the original Paul and who Paul was based on.

>>27159479

>implying in universe canon, E4 arent second to only the champs of each region
>implying some old fuck's opinions matter
>implying that's how pokemon is meant to be played
>implying thats not GF and or localization taking a stab at the sweaty cheetos nippled WoW nerds that comprise Smogon play

"It's more important to master the cards you're holding than to complain about the ones your opponents were dealt."

>>27159403
It means that you can win like a scumbag, or loose with dignity. What makes it interesting, is that winning like a scumbag is no different from winning, and loosing with dignity is no different from victory. If you time stall out the opponant until they disconnect, the battle doesn't count anyways.

Basically, he supports "perfectly healthy Arcanine" fag.

>is that winning like a scumbag is no different from winning
Fuck, meant to say "Winning like a scumbag is no different than loosing". I need sleep.

>>27159520
and isn't that just the way

It's not about who wins or loses it's about who's truly saltier and D/Cs first kek

Ill laways love Sunkern and Sunflora. Also the Jumpluff family. Karen is my hero

>>27157797

What if my favorites just happen to be strong?

>>27159515
Why don't you go over and say that to the MTG fags over on /tg/ and see all the eternal faggots come out of the woodwork with their fetches and Goyfs.

>>27159563
Then you're a tryhard.

>>27159621

So I have to avoid playing as my favorites? That doesn't sound very fun.

>>27159621
>>27159664
dat contradiction

just play with what you like, against what you think you can prepare for and counter

I play anything goes with all kinds of teams, I'll take a picture of one of my Teams PC boxes for the (You)s from butthurt competitive players

"Whether or not you get to fight at full strength, whether or not luck smiles on you--none of that matters. Only results matter. And a loss is a loss. See, victory shines like a bright light."

i prefer people who can take loss in strides knowing they didn't give it their all than people who take every loss as the end of the world and project that mentality on others.
