Reminder that using legendaries is the definition of casual. If your opponent could use a full Mega Rayquaza team, you still shouldn't. Because using even one makes you a casual.

>>
>>27945065
>t. your ass
Centralized meta eliminate outside factors except for player skills, this is fact, it makes better comps or counter comps unable to help the lesser player, it showcase the player skill instead of comps carrying a players' ass Stop being assblasted your shitmons aren't being used.

Are you so insecure you're trying to suck up to "real" competitive games now? Games/formats with tier 0 anything are widely agreed to be fucking cancer and is usually when bans/balance patches start raining down. Too bad Pokemon has neither because TPCi actually doesn't give a fuck about anything other than the size of their own wallets.

????
>>
>>27945201
I watch both you mong, this format is just dominated solely by 3 mons and that is the definition of an unhealthy meta. If half of all viable tactics and mons are eliminated by the introduction of 3 others, maybe that was a bad fucking introduction. You're the only person I have ever heard advocating a completely centralized meta with no originality.

What? It's not the same thing at all. The difference is when a tier 0 strategy is worked out the balance patches/bans happen between a few weeks to a few months depending on the severity of the situation, but not after literally an entire year worth of events, after which the problem isn't actually fixed but simply swept under the rug.

Jesus, just stop, nobody's buying that shit no matter how hard you're trying to shill it. Guess what, you're actually not the only person in this world who plays more than 1 game competitively.

Fact #1 - Players ALWAYS bitch if there is one strategy/element that is clearly better than everything else.

Fact #2 - It is widely agreed that centralization is undesriable for the future development of the metagame

That's all there is to it. You can stop being so assblasted about people not liking your cancerous format right now.

Making a completely clean save just for the purpose of a tournament is actually a pretty common practice. You don't want to get denied a tournament entry just because some sneaky gook traded you a hacked Pikachu through wonder trade some 2 years ago and you didn't notice.
>>
>>27945781
counter strike is not a remotely similar game to pokemon. It only has a handful of weapon options because its depth comes from positional setups and executes, not the tools you actually USE to execute. A more analogous situation would be if one particular push on dust2 was so powerful that nobody ever used anything else.

Pokemon is a turn based game where the entire depth comes from the tools themselves.
>>
LMAO HE CANT KEEP UP

YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP

>>27945678
If you want complete centralization then why not force the game to be exclusively the same set 6 for every game? That will mean that only skill, and a bit of luck, distinguishes people in each game. If you can understand how it is good to have more than literally the exact same 6 every time then you can understand the benefits of expanding to include more and more pokemon.

Consider the case of DotA, where the game is less centralized than LoL and the drafting/banning phase is just as important to competition is in game skill.

I can understand your argument about centralization, and it certainly works well for most regular sports, but for the survival of a game what is necessary is people to enjoy playing it. I would argue that it is probably better for the survival of the competitive side of pokemon that people feel like they can use a wider array of pokemon in their teams. My evidence is the number of people who complain about wanting it, regardless of whether or not you agree with them their interest in the game is what helps keeps it alive.

Sebastián interview

Game 2 was a really hard game and I had to predict every turn.

The first game I lose it thanks to hax, and then I won the second thanks to hax. Then I changed the first turn of the third game and that gave me the victory.

The big six is the most complete team of the meta and I've been using since a long time and for Worlds I tried making some changes to break the meta a bit. For example, my Groudon is physical and has Rock Tomb to counter double primal. Also, my Amoongus has Mental Herb to avoid Taunts from Thundurus.

I feel very comfortable with this team.

Yes. They try to emulate European's accent because they want to be considered European and white.

We have different words for things but I speak Mexican and even I could understand what he said

Depends on what you consider different. Each country has their own dialect, but it's the same language, so even though we "speak" differently, we understand each other
>>27945910
The european accent would be spain? because in argentina we think the spanish accent is awful

Winning is fun no matter how you get there (within the rules). Regardless of what Pokemon you use, winning gives you the thrill and satisfaction of your game plan working out and getting into your opponent's head. Also, some of the mons you use, even if they are metagame standard, become your bros along the way.
