It's a strange kind of feel.

>He overlevels in order to win

How it feels to suck in-game, Anon?

>>32404103
A pokémon game is not about collecting and using the strongest pokémon to win, rather than have fun and create a bond with your travel companions. The competitive scene is pure cancer because people just define a good pokémon on how competitive on vgc is...that's bs!

>>32405859
Also a strong trainer is able to win (in the main story) with the pokémon he likes and cares of. That's a great trainer! Even Karen said so!

>near useless in the main story

I find that hard to believe, unless you're talking about Unown.

>tfw all your favorite pokemon are unavailable in SM
>they're shitmons anyways
it hurts lads

>>32405868
Illumise

Most of my favorite pokemon are in the UU tier or were during gen 6 anyways. Wouldn't call them useless

>near useless in main story
Impossible to have 6 favorite mons that can't handle story.

who is it, anon?

>>32406974
Relicanth.
His job in competitive is already done by Tyrantrum, who's way better. And if we limit it to just his tier, PU, his speed and low SpD really screw him.

But in game, his rock head ability and that head smash thing is alright.
