Beach Guy's team could be six Magikarp for all we know. He's in no position to give advice

This nigga gets it. Based gentleman.
>>24980794
That may be true, but this is the oras champion we're talking about, vs the GS elite 4. I think they're on pretty equal ground.
>>24981116
Who's right /vp/?
>>24980748
The bitch near of the old man:
>Thanks to my dad's Garchomp, I was able to achieve 20 consecutive wins~
Why the Battle Resort reeks... Competitiveness?
-The old guy and the woman saying these things.
-The Dragon Tamer in the dock saying that he's training to the "Pokémon World Championships" (a real world event).
-Wally turning in a hyper competitive fag after you get 50 consecutive wins.
-Most part of the Battle Resort is compost of... Collectors (the fat/lunatic trainer class), instead of a bunch of ace trainers or something like this. I can't help but think that it's like they're showing the ""real"" competitive pokémon fanbase in the game.
>>24981187
>Wally turning in a hyper competitive fag after you get 50 consecutive wins
>He uses physical Roserade
>>24981156
>E4 member
>Literally who? NPC
>>24981116
THERE'S ONLY ONE TRUE TRUTH:GF needs to balance the game drastically
>>24981116
>Karen mentions being skilled
>The Gentleman mentions being strong
Ah, it's a matter of brains versus brawn.
>>24981116
True.
>>24981116
>>24981156
>>24981205
Gentleman is clearly referring to megas
>>24981116
>tipping hat
>>24981116
Karen is a scrub by Sirlin's definition. Gentleman is right *tips derby*
>>24981975
>Sirlin
Literally who?
>>24981979
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sirlin
David Sirlin, author of one of the seminal texts on modern videogame-playing theory.
>>24981987
Specifically, here's his treatise on the topic of "scrubs":
http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub
>>24980755
>trying this hard
>>24981116
>using Pokemon that win are more important than ones you like because muh meta
Obviously the one that isn't a tipping tourneyfaggot.
>>24981187
I laughed my ass off the first time the population of the battle resort clicked in my head
>>24981996
>The scrub would take great issue with this statement for he usually believes that he is playing to win, but he is bound up by an intricate construct of fictitious rules that prevents him from ever truly competing.
Smogon confirmed scrubs
>>24980748
True. I tend to pick a karen shitmon and surround them with a good team.
>>24981996
>The scrub's problem? He does not play to win.
And that is why what >>24981975 said is false; Karen was attempting to win with her favorite Pokemon. Karen also mentions that the idea of "strong Pokemon" or "weak Pokemon" is the selfish perception of people, similar to how Sirlin states that the scrub labels a wide variety of tactics as "cheap".
>>24982049
that's actually a fair point.
>>24982049
its not perception tho
>jynx ever beatin alakazam or kadabra
cmon i love jynx and her moveset but shes shit fucking ice type
>>24982097
>Alakazam ever beating Mega Rayylmao
lol
>playan vgc on showdown
>enemy team is Groudon, Kyogre, Kangaskhan, Rotom-W, Xerneas, and Sableye
Imagine not actually liking a single member of your team.
t. Snorlax and Golurk user
>>24982049
Is it a fact that Raichu is weak compared to Greninja, or is that the "selfish perception of people"? Is Greninja considered "OP" by many folk out there? That's what Sirlin was talking about. Karen's a scrub. (That bitch never gave me trouble btw)
>>24981975
>Sirlin
Doesn't cover rng
Reminder nearly any old shitmon can win if it gets good rolls. Karen is right, for the wrong reasons.
>>24982192
Greninja is shit compared to Primal Kyogre anyway, get a real fucking mon
>>24981876
>>24981975
>knowing nothing of beach breezes
>>24980791
The girl next to him says her Dad's Garchomp helped her get a 20 win streak. He's aplayer
Why are tourneyfags so fucking obnoxious to anyone who doesn't think like them?
>>24982205
>Primal Groudon's Desolate Land!
Isnt the BR only open to the rich and strong?? I remember some slut saying sothing along the lines
>>24982192
Gee why is a first gen weak against a sixth, I don't fucking know
>>24982296
In the TCG there's actual evidence of the powercreep being real.
Compare a first gen Slowbro card to its latest counterpart.
>>24982026
This
>>24982179
but that team isn't even legal :^)
>>24981116
Karen is E4. Gentleman is a random anon.
One plays the meta.One doesn't give a shit about the meta's rules or balance bans.
Is it cheating to breed legit pokemon from a hack you get in GTS?
How do you know that t
he pokemon you receive in wonder trade weren't bread from hacks?
>>24983416
>balance bans
Again, Smogon are scrubs.
>>24983683
Scrubs that would beat you 9/10 matches in any format you chose
>>24983717
Spore and boo boo keys say otherwise :^)
>>24983717
Not if I used the tactics that they describe as "cheap"
>>24983743
Not to excessively Smogonfag here, but if you're using 'cheap' tactics, then a Smogonfag is going to use them right back.
The downside is that, depending on what those tactics are, the game can end up being a bunch of coin flips rather than being determined by player skill.
Smogonfags (like I used to be and still am to a lesser degree) don't mind being 'scrubs' if it means getting to play the game in an enjoyable context rather than having two players miss a Moody Bibarel's Substitute for an hour.
>>24982263

>Smogonfags (like I used to be and still am to a lesser degree) don't mind being 'scrubs' if it means getting to play the game in an enjoyable context rather than having two players miss a Moody Bibarel's Substitute for an hour.
As long as you don't claim to be "playing to win" when, from the looks of it, that couldn't be further from the truth.
>>24982097
That's an awful example because Jynx was rop tier in Gen I, and has only fallen off thanks to better sleep abusers popping up.
>>24982303
It's not like you can play them against each other, unlike the real game.
>>24980748
> Pokémon that can win
You can win just fine with any Pokémon from the game. You will only have problem if you go online, since people do this:

Which would be a rather dark way of being a trainer.
>>24983796
>anyone who doesn't think liek me just sucks at the game hurr
Why don't you just fuck off, you stupid, insufferable overcompetitive faggot?
>>24980748
I'm sure the choice of his class is no coincidence
>>24981061
whoa
Is using Pokemon you like an epic meme now? Fuck this board
>>24982045
where is the shitmon?
>>24984623
Sceptile obviously
>>24984597
It's like driving a minivan for a Nascar race because you "like" it.
You're gonna fucking lose.
Save your faves for in-game battles.
>>24984628
I see
>>24983415
you get the idea :^\
>>24982026
Nothing truer was ever said.
>>24983717
Double team says hello, since they don't seem to know about the always hit moves, or Haze. Also, Spore. Enjoy 6 sleeping pokemon.
So... Who's hyped for the Primal Don spam in vgc 16? I can see Mega Mawile making a comeback with the help of Primal Kyo. Sadly, it looks like Gardy will be taking the role of support this year.
>>24984636
>Not being able to win online with your favorites
Get good or go home. "I can't win with the guys I like so I'll use the pokemon everyone everyone else are using." Learn the game and stop sucking so much cock. It's almost like you're OP.
>>24982045
>Just one
>Sceptile
Oh boy, you're truly the ABSOLUTE MADMAN.
>>24982045
>Sceptile
>shitmon
I want Pikachu to dominate me
Proud to be a karenfag.
>Murkrow
>Psyduck
>Magmar
>Exeggutor
>Nidoking
>Breloom
These are my niggas, and i use them always, having fun as a child, no matter if i win or lose.
>>24984800
>>24984806
>sceptile
>not a shitmon
Especially bad for Maison, there is no room for error there.
>>24983500
It is, according to officials dealing with the Ray Rizzo Dream Ball shit.
If you want to go full autism anti-injection you really gotta work and breed everything yourself with shit you caught yourself.
>>24984597
Are you expecting something other than retarded faggotry from /vp/ as a whole?
>>24984636
>being this obnoxious about people just wanting to use what they like
Just kick their asses online if possible and be done with it. They have no obligation to play the games they way you faggots think they should. Now fuck off.
>>24981996
Jesus fucking christ, that article is so self righteous and complacent it hurts.
>>24980748
>>24986434
Orewa o chinchin ga daisuke
>>24981116
Karen is the patrician way
>>24984341
Must hurt knowing how dumb your argument is.
>>24987356
Here's your reply, cunt.
