They aren't, Smogon's simulator is non-profit

I can almost guarantee this is bullshit. there is no way that zarel the ps admin isn't making bank off of google adsense on his site. he wouldn't be able to afford the servers otherwise.

Even though smogon was first.

They can't shut down a forum or stop people from talking about Pokemon. They could easily shut down Showdown, though.

So were all the romhacks that Nintendo shut down.

That's a big Toxapex

Because they know that competitive Pokemon would be even more irrelevant without smogon/showdown.
