Except thing is, he's way past the line of actually caring or getting hurt

Doing things mindlessly and not even being aware of what you're doing gives you even less credibility than most people that post here, so that shows how much it mattered to him that he has nothing lower than a 31

I can assure you, half of those new people don't leave. They are new, they still haven't realized how much of a grind this game is, and they end up grinding as much as they can, you can pretty much see one example if you look a page or two back.

Yeah, it'd still come out as a OU tier that wouldn't have too many pokes that are considered OU material. Pseudo-legends without gen4 pokemon/abilities/items would basically be as I said, pre-said legendaries and a few other currently metagame defining pokemon (metagross/slowbro/chansey/etc)

Still though, that being implemented would drastically change OU, and after that all tiers actually, seeing as they'd be the things that the metagame is gonna be fixated on, it's not even theorymon, but basic logic, seeing as right now, they'd be OP af, and OU would mostly be for them only, and a few of the other, currently considered OU pokemon. I can see half, if not more of the OU tier being dropped either to UU, or BL and never be used or whatever. Not that it's bad though, I'd love to see that shit happen, atleast it's a change that doesn't suck. That's all good, buuuut it might be a better idea before you make the decision, share it with the public and see what they mean, maybe they have an even better idea, or some tweak that might help the whole thing become better, just saying.

We'll talk again in 2 years, and see how you're holding up and if you're still farming islands 3 times per day for 300k :)

Was looking for this, kek

Your solution to just get comps is to already buy premade things from the trade corner. Someone still has to breed those pokemon so they actually do show up in the trade corner in the first place, so it's kind of an invalid point in this case. Also, GTL only gets you the beggining resources to breed your own shit, as Panda said, you still have to breed, wait for egg hatching, EV and level them.

There's people that have grinded for years now and they're kinda having it wayyyy over their head, so they don't want to do it anymore. which is why all these new players keep flaunting their 6x31 worthless breeds that they probably will never use. It's repetitive, no one said it's not a way to earn money, but when you've done it for a long time, you kinda lose the will to do it, and anyway, it's still not even near enough to earn money.

Why not, don't see why it shouldn't be done, we can follow our own results if we have to

Forfi has fucking luck coming out of his ass :(

Yeah, 3-0 is strong. And I'll take that as a promise :P Promises sound so fucking gay sigh

Pick me pick me, I'm ez money I swear

1 mil for the winner, 500k for 2nd, 300k for 3rd 200k for 4th, that's 2 mil, and it still isn't too much money imo. It doesn't HAVE to be 5 mil, it was just an example, pretty sure you can get even something for 3rd and 4th places, it doesn't have to be millions, pretty sure they'd be happier with 200k than 0k

Wait, you're saying 3 matches each 50k, or all 3 matches for a 50k bet? Either way, I'm up for it, gonna be on showdown now, tell me if you can do it :]

We're 1-0 ok :(

I'll take Jice

Me vs Gary :(

Your team better win then

In the end, you always end up not being able to experiment due to having tried most of the things though. It is gen3 only, and there's not much you can do. However, I don't see this as the case currently, seeing as I can probably think of 20 different sets but can't be arsed to do them because of how fucking lazy of a person I am. The thing is, I just see people prefer to play the same old things and not innovate, mostly because it's 1) the safest way to play it currently, let's be honest, stall is everywhere, and the players are to blame for it partly too and yeah 2) because economy currently doesn't let us experiment, so we end up building all the current most usable sets without having place for our own shit. The only people that do end up experimenting, are those that already pretty much have what they want and are bored of building the same pokes over and over again, and this game has pretty much gotten boring as fuck to old players.

Choice band locks you into using only one move until you switch, therefore having substitute would be kinda pointless, seeing as using substitute all the time has no point whatsoever. Remove substitute and add superpower or earthquake. You can remove baton pass on jolteon and add toxic, or if you want, you can tell us the IVs of your jolteon, and we can see if it can be an even better jolteon with a beneficial hidden power. Having both body slam and facade on umbreon is kinda pointless, so you can remove body slam and baton pass on it, and possibly add heal bell and protect. Those are a few tips that can make your team somewhat viable for a first time :)

Implying this game has 32 comp-ready and active teams for it to even be more than 16.

1) Hahah, yeah, they are rather big, but you can like, edit them to be normal-size, that's a curse my character has to carry. 2) Backpack, but you can leave that part out I believe, since I don't think it'd be noticable?
