>people hate Smogon because it has rules and because the best pokémon are always the ones that are used
Why else ?

Anti-Smogonfags are simply uninformed people making brash judgments. Showdown allows Pokemon to be used where they can play optimally, and even lets players play VGC if they want.
Well it certainly beats this shit.

Is more than one mega allowed at these things?
>>25621053
I'm assuming all those are Mega Kangaskhans.
It's a meme. Like disliking Goo.dra.
People do it because it's what /vp/ does.
We're one bad meme machine.

You get to bring 6 pokemon, but you only use 4 per battle, so people usually put a spare mega in one of the extra slots.
>>25621053
The way it works is that battles are only about 3 or 4 per round, so you can swap between Megas since some Pokemon are gonna go unused
All of the higher tiers in Smogon allow you to use all 700 or so, the high tiers exist to keep OP assholes out of the lower tiers unlike this where it's kind of the same thing but literal try hards
