Why do stallfags exist?

Too much time on their hands to compete way too competitively. Reasons I play more doubles than singles nowadays since it's more offensive based

>>29711391
You seem mad

>>29711391
you're just shit and can't come up with a decent team with more than coverage for the standard sub 1200 teams

>one (1) stallmon on his team

>>29711469
>compete too competitively

CALL THE FUCKING COPS.

OP is retarded. Getting outplayed by a shitty mono-dragon team is not the same as playing against stall.

You deserved this loss

Holy shit OP you expect us to be on your side?
You, the guy with a Ferrothorn named "Anal" who loses against a mono-dragon team in OU?

You're the faggot, OP.

last two points just make you look autistic, but you're right about the first one

nothing autistic about a factual observation, mate.

^This. Togekiss can be be replaced with basically whatever you want, but the first 5 are all stall staples.

>>29712012
The game mechanics, as far as there being any sort of real competition, is entirely centered around 4v4 doubles. It absolutely is.
And adopting rules made up by a random third party who ban certain things because their pre-built teams can't handle them is pretty retarded. Obviously.

Sure, a person is free to do what they want, but it doesn't make the thing they're doing any less laughable.

>stall won VGC
I'm still mad.

>>29712156
Shit, does it freeze at turn 332 for anyone else?

>>29712158
I mean, I don't exactly agree with you. There is a reason Smogon is more popular than VGC after all.

>>29712201
me too

>>29712224
Yeah, because people with autism can't get to grips with the fact that way you play through story mode isn't the way the mechanics are tailored for competitive play. And those people happen to be the loudest and most enthusiastic people on the internet so it gives the illusion of it being more popular, despite it being just some random, unofficial bullshit that you could only know about if you spend too much time on the internet.

>>29712224
>There is a reason Smogon is more popular than VGC
More like, singles is more popular than doubles. That's not much to do with Smogon

>>29712335
Sure, but VGC isn't singles, and therefor when people do play singles, they more often than not adhere to Smogon's ruleset, instead of "muh official so it must be superior" ruleset

>>29712224
Except it isn't.

>>29712378
Prove to me that it isn't

Prove that smogon is more popular

>>29712566
>the size of Pokemon showdown
>the size of the smogon forums
>the fact that 90% of popular pokemon youtubers adhere to smogon
>the fact that if you random battle somebody they're either going to have a random in game team or a smogon team
>the fact that when you ask anyone who still plays pokemon for a battle they almost always assume smogon

>>29712566
Now prove to me that VGC is more popular
you can't

>>29712601
>I see people talk about smogon in places I frequent because I play smogon and want to talk to people who play smogon so smogon is more popular
(you)

>>29712657
show me somewhere more popular that's purely about VGC battling

>>29712601
>the fact that if you random battle somebody they're either going to have a random in game team or a smogon team
This is not true, especially considering the game is full of Japanese players who don't touch Smogon rules

>>29712728
Well than the typical "smogon the team" way of teambuilding must be really popular as more often than not I see nips on battle spot with "smogon the team" type teams

Well no kidding, even though Battle Spot and Smogon are pretty different, there's still an overlap of which Pokemon are good

Just because nerds will flock to official Pokemon events doesn't mean the battling medium is more popular

>Thinks he didn't deserve an asswhooping

>>29712977
I watched the replay. OP's Gardevoir is male.

>>29712928
Well, if you run the numbers and include every country in the world instead of excluding half of it, you'll find that I'm right and you're an arsehole who got triggered at smogon being called stupid and then got assblasted when told it's not more popular than VGC (which it obviously is not).

Like what you like, mate. Getting upset because the thing you like isn't 'good' is pathetic. I like Yujiro Takahashi and he's one of the worst major wrestlers in Japan. I don't pretend that he's not, though. Get a grip.

Also, even though Smogon is not more popular, even if it was that wouldn't make it any less bad. Nickelback are more popular than Danny Brown.

>>29711391
Stall is the natural outcome of a specific mindset.

Basically it asks the question: why do I lose pokemon battles?
>Because my Pokemon die
Okay, I'm never going to let that happen.

And there you go, stall.

>>29712928
Also
>just because nerds stay inside all day playing a Pokemon simulator online and adopting presets from a website that makes tier lists around pre-built movesets because they don't know how to actually play a children's game doesn't mean the 'battling medium' (wtf, learn to speak English) is more popular

>>29712928
Post count isn't a very good measure considering Smogon's comp subforum has way more formats to talk about than just VGC like NB does

>>29711391
>reddit kiddie with some top tier cancerous names and shinies rage quits to a fly dragonite
Lmao

>>29713163
If you remove everything that isn't smogon made tiers the post count for that topic is still well over 400k considering their vgc section only consists of 50kish posts and there are only like 2 others both under 50k

>>29713163
My mistake, didn't notice the "Other Metagames" section

If you add all other non-smogon battling formats on the smogon forum you only get about 215k posts

>>29713189
I didn't mean that, it's more to do with the fact that more subforums means more messages, but not necessarily more people

>>29713287
Ah, my bad

>>29713140
A medium is something like 'video games' or 'painting' or 'the block of metal that conducts electricity in this experiment'. A set of rules is not a medium, it's rules.
I use the word medium literally every day, mate. Stop trying to sound smart and go ahead and concede because you just started an argument and lost, tried to start another one and lost again.

>>29711469
I AGREE!

>>29711391
Play two games per hour with a chance of 80% winning each or
play six games per hour with a chance of 60% winning each.
What do you choose?

>>29713673
Playing six ffs. You don't have to win everytime.
