>>31038095
VGC IS healthy at the moment though. But you would nevee know about that. Smogon autismo

Competitive is garbage anyway. Too many irrelevant factors, too many OP legendaries, stupid math stuff like IV's and EV's.

I miss when Pokemon was simple, when anyone could be a Pokemon master.

>>31038277
pokemon was never simple EVS and IVS have always existed it was just that less people knew about them

>>31038277
>Too many irrelevant factors
If they're irrelevant then just ignore them.

>>31038095
Excuse me, does this by chance happen to be a reference to the Japanese illustrated and animated series known as Jojo's Bizarre Adventure?

>>31038303
How? I keep on getting my ass handed to me online because of no life virgin losers.

In the old days I would have beat them all no matter what. Why did it have to change?

Except I AM skilled, I AM good. I was Pokemon champion in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola... through thick and thin my team was always there for me. THAT's how you win in Pokemon. Fuck competitive...

Yeah! Winning against NPC's that are programmed to eventually lose makes me good guys!

It's not like that doesn't apply to everything competitively-related.

You can't win Pokemon leagues with tea parties, ya fairy.

>>31038415
Nor with a shitty team.

so many (You)s. thanks guys :)

>>31038426

If they got rid of all those clauses smogon would be a lot better

>>31038415

KARENFAGS BTFO

>>31038494
Literally
how does that matter

It has the exact same stats as any other optimized Porygon 2
LITERALLY

>>31038500

>prankster spore?
>yeah just put whole teams to sleep

>>31038500
>If they got rid of all those clauses smogon would be a lot better
they trying to promote skills over hax and you want that gone?
I bet you fap to amonguus putting your whole team to sleep faggot.

>>31038513
>>31038516
Yet baton passing all the stat buffs you want is ok.
Stalling is ok.

>>31038510

Versilifags will argue MUH LEGITIMACY but he hasn't won any real tournaments while we have a three time VGC Champion that is a known injector. Again I must agree with you and ask WHY DOES IT MATTER?

>>31038540

run Haze you faggot

>>31038540
just smack them with a fucking z-move

>>31038547
>WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Because it's bad for the health of the community.

>>31038546
>Yet baton passing all the stat buffs you want is ok.
>he doesn't know
>Stalling is ok.
you run wallbreakers you fucking faggot. There's tons to choose from in a tier

>>31038561
literally only 2 pokemon can run haze without suffering from 4MSS, toxapex and quagsire

>>31038546
baton pass abuse is illegal now.
whats wrong with defensive tactics?
hyper offensive is boring. you have tons of different styles you can play stop being such an uncultivated faggot.

>>31038574
How? Legitemate question.

Anon1 has a Jolly Gyarados who he bred.
Anon2 has a Jolly Gyarados who he injected.

Bothn identical in stats and moveset. What is the difference?

>>31038358
>I don't want to put time and effort into team-building and battle strategies I just want to spam Fire Blast with my over-leveled Charizard and one-shot everything ;^(

>>31038494
Fuck off Verlis, we know it's you.

>>31038642
Anon2 invalidates the work put in by anon1.
Fewer people are interested in breeding because their work will be invalidated.
An outsider sees a competitive scene dominated by hackers and cheaters and has no interest in participating.

>almost 2017
>not playing BSS

>>31038642
Anon2 is a cheater

>>31038588
Defensive tatics almost always are the lamest stuff you can imagine. And completely negates any fun to be had. As it quickly becomes a game of who has the most patience after like 80 turns of the same thing.

>>31038669
>>31038686
Except literally no one will be able to tell it was injected.

>>31038759
This
People sperg about the Beast Ball, but had it been in a Pokeball
There is literally and legitimately NO way to know

>>31038759
Except when the practice of injection becomes so common and widely accepted that everybody knows that the environment is rife with cheaters.

>>31038787
yeah but it isnt cheating

>almost 2017

>>31038804
It is definitely cheating
The whole point of playing on cartridge is supposed to be that the pokemon are legitimately obtained, otherwise you'd just play on showdown

>>31038809
There is literally nothing wrong with Battle Spot.

>>31038130
>>31038255
It's not 2017 yet, you fugs.

>>31038787
That's just making assumptions. You literally cannot tell. People like you and Verlis will say everyone, even legit players, are cheating without any proof whatsoever.

>>31038829
Hope you like fighting tapu lele, pheromosa, and mega metagrosd for a billion times.

>>31038759
The biggest problem is that people who actually like breeding and enjoy raising are seen as the shit eating autists and injectors are seen as the gods of pokemon.

Just look at hoe often injectorfags go
> JUST INJECT BRAH LMAO :')

>>31038851
I don't give a shit if a specific player is cheating
There are injection threads going on here 24/7
That's how you can 'literally tell'

>>31038824
I inject because I want to play the story, X's, with proper mons and not have to be autistic to breed and ev train. I want my perfect female Fokko ready to go through comfy Kalos when I trade her into the new game.
I do not use the cheat mansion nor battle online

>>31038854
I won't say priority didn't need a nerf, but Lele is disgusting.

>>31038895
You can't play a game designed to be finished by six year olds without cheating? I respect you for not cheating online but that's still real fuckin' sad.

>>31038879
No you can't. If you actually think any of those people begging for injections plat VGC, you're just looking at excuses to accuse people of cheating.

>>31038939
I don't give a shit if a specific player is cheating
Pokemon's gameplay is designed around its community, and if the community is flooded with cheaters from the ground level then that is distasteful to me and to people who might otherwise be a part of it. I probably care least of all about cheating in VGC, except for the fact that the organizers don't care enough to act against it
