how is pokemon competitive? isnt it turn based? that implies randomness
>>
>>331876059
I wanted to keep it

>>331876129
i guess so, I'm good at something I enjoy which is nice.

>>331876145
???

Have you ever gone back and played them for fun?
>>
How many billiard balls can you fit in your mouth
>>
>>331875983
You play anything else?
>>
Why dont you play the superior Smogon meta, are you that bad that you can only compete with useless shits like cybercuck and gay rizzo?
>>
>>331876238
not at all, the speed stat for example decides who goes first, so you can game it a lot of ways

and thats just turn order

>>331876248
all the time, I play PokeMMO a lot now.

How does turn-based imply randomness?

Is Chess random?

Dumb Chenposter.
>>
i heard something about someone shitting in their hand and throwing it at some pokemon tournament a few years back.

can you substantiate this or have you not heard of such things?
>>
>>331876238
Complicated attack and weakness "triangle"
Have to know how to play in certain situations
Small RNG on status and accuracy checks but that's about it
Somethings focus on attack or they focus on defense have to match things up against your opponents team in your favor
>>
What does your team consist of? I'm assuming there's rules against legendaries?
>>
>>331876238
Lots of competitive games have a random element. However if you're good you can win really consistently. On cart in the ranked ladder I've had win %s above 80 for a season.

>>331876129
ye

>>331876145
I got too old man, not too shitty. I "retired."

>>331876239
Not me.

>>331876248
Playing the single player is always fun. I usually buy every mainline game when it comes out.

>>331876252
Yeah I play all sorts of shit man.
>>
>>331876445
I only ever heard the rumour, same as you

>>331876457
of course, there is a "banned" tier

I use 3 charizards, 1 onix, dragonite (before ban) Jolteon and a smeargle
>>
>>331875983
Why are you contributing to the growing problem of Pokemon shitposting on /v/?
There's a board exclusively for Pokemon that actually knows shit about competitive.
>>
>>331876621

>3 Charizards

To what end?
>>
>>331875983
is life hard being an autist?

PS, I have a trip now. Ignore shitposters. Thank you.

wtf is wrong with you?
and im asuming that you won those as a teenager and not as a kid

>>331875983
What's the weirdest shit you've ever seen?
>>
Do you have a girlfriend?
Have you had sex before?
Do you use your accomplishments in life to pick up women?
>>
>>331876621
Dragonite it's is banned? What's all banned then if it's not just legendaries?
>>
>>331876059
Because he is not that faggot Mango.

How is it like dealing with autism?
>>
>>331876701
You have no idea.

I'm so fucking dumb I make a thread where my identity is important, and then dont put a trip on.

I'm fucking retarded.

>>331876743
>wtf is wrong with you?

My brain no work so good

>>331876752
This fucking thread and my lack of trip, like the mouth breather I am.

Clearly new to 4chan, forgive me

>>331876790
>Do you have a girlfriend?
>Have you had sex before?
>Do you use your accomplishments in life to pick up women?

No
No
No

My mother thinks I'm cool.

>>331876823
Dragonite is a "pseudo" legendary, so he was banned later on

>>331876862
hard :(
>>
>>331876823
Is banned* sorry. Whatever you know what I meant.
>>
>>331876457
That depends on the format and everything. Every year the rules change to keep you on your toes and to accommodate the currently readily accessible roster of pokemon in game.

>>331876445
I've never heard about that but people have shown up strapped to events. I'm talking trunks full of guns.

>>331876373
Well no one uses the genies in the current VGC, so removing them won't do shit.

>>331876432
>>331876342
Seriously why are you highjacking my shit. I have to trip up now you fruit

>>331876314
I do and have played smogon formats before. I just like playing on cart better, and singles formats are shit on cart and matches take 10 years. Your standard OU stall fest that takes 10 minutes on Showdown will take 60 minutes on cart.
>>
>>331875983
Is Goodra male or female?
>>
>>331877000
fuck off out my thread, stop trolling

sick trips tho
>>
I'm guessing you've played MTG then right? What are the big differences between the two?

Or is it like the difference between league and dota? Same game and idea but different execution?
>>
Ok so what does the "other" op use for a team
>>
>>331875983

which pokemon is best waifu?

good choice

>>331876862
I don't have autism or any of that anti-social shit. Believe me when I say that you will encounter a lot of autists in the competitive scene, even at live events. You think these people are anti-social but in the right environment they will come right up to you and sperg out. Most of them are harmless and pretty nice though, they just lack good social graces.

>>331876743
Shit is fun and I am (was) really good at it. Part of being adult is not belittling people over how they spend their free time.

>>331876752
I saw a guy cry and literally shit himself for losing. Not to me though.
>>
>>331877381
>I don't have autism
Shut up, split personality me!

WE HAVE ALL THE AUTISM

ALL OF IT

WE HOARDE IT
>>
>>331877104
It obviously depends. There's different formats, and rules inside formats change from year to year, and the meta inside those formats can change from week to week or day to day. Some people draft an entirely new team for every major event.
>>
>>331877381
>Shit is fun and I am (was) really good at it. Part of being adult is not belittling people over how they spend their free time.
ok but if i saw a grow up man or a teenage boy playing something that alot of kids and infants play i will be worried, the first thing that will come to my mind will be that he either is "special" or a damn pedo or both
>>
>>331877709
It's not like there's 40 year olds at these things. The only older people you see are there with their kids, something I plan to do later in life. If a 17 year old want to battle pokemon man you need to chill with the snap judgements.
>>
>>331877914
i can get a casual game with a some one you know or a friend of a friend. i also got to some semifinals on starcraft bw in my country back in the day but when people asked or saw me i still could say "its a strategy game, kinda like chess" and people still would belive me or not bother to check if its was like chess because it didnt look like something made for kids
>>
>>331875983
What's the tail like?
>>
>>331875983
Small playerbase aside, how far off is Cyber Sleuth's gameplay from rivaling the competitiveness of Pokemon? What changes would need to be made?
>>
>>331876238

>>331875983
Do you wish you can turn back time because the guilt was all yours?
>>
This is a really good thread. How about a timestamp op jesus fuck
>>
>>331878876
Pokemon just gives you so many more options over Cyber Sleuth. You can run so many different sets on the same pokemon, lots of shitmon and unevolved pokemon can be viable with gimmick builds. Digimon just feels more brute force, with less opportunities to use special tactics.

>>331878608
Nigga you are just projecting your shit hardcore. No one cares how embarrassed your bitch ass would be. How old are you man? Still hiding your power level to seem cool. Why don't you just get friends/family who respect you?
>>
Quit being mean to me, I am a fucking POKEMON MASTER. I deserve quite a bit more respect than what I am being given. Do you fucking realize just how long I've trained to become this good at Pokemon? Longer than most of you have been alive.
>>
How does the autism affect your daily life?
>>
>>331875983

so you don't play the card game? or do you suck too hard against the manchildren and asians?
>>
>>331879719

Bruh I topped at regional with 400 plus competitiors but whiffed in Top 16 after getting cheated by a known player in the competition scene because everyone was mad i was playing an anti meta deck.

oh wait you're a VGC player you're worse than scum.
>>
>>331879410
homie i gues im projecting but not because i was embarrassed of my hobby im a bit embarrased of your hobby in other hand if you did well there good for you, i tried to get into the pokemon scene when the ds came out, me and my friend got a ds an a game, we both tried to get some lvl and play on multiplayer we got our asses kicked so hard that my friend sold his DS and i tried to git gud but all that autism to try to get a pokemon with good stats was too much so i just played all the other good games that came for DS
>>
Is this a pure bot thread? I swear to fucking God that I've seen this thread with the same exact replies here on /v/ before. I'm tripping out big time here.
>>
>it's "OP and a random anon trying too hard to be the OP" thread

>>331877914
>>331877471
post your team to proof the real you, OP
>>
>>331881079
Playing competitive on cart before gen 5 legitimately took autism. It's way easier now, you can breed and train perfect pokes in a few hours if you have all the shit you need.
>>
>>331882081
man i got scared when i read all the shit i had to do to get a perfect pokemon, i was like "ok i could either do all that shit to play competitive pokemon on my DS or i just could sold this shit and play that big ass library of games for the DS"
of course i took the second choice and man those were some good times
>>
Do you know what a vagina looks like?
