I know I know, I'm not a fan of it, I prefer to train pokemon.
I did do that back when I was still studying, on breaks we would play some battles in the simulator me and some friends, I watch a lto of battles in Pokemon showdown but I don't participate.
Yeah but I have more problems with hipocrites that say "Oh Virgil won with an Eevee" when Tyson won with a Mewoth and Game wise because thats their excuse, Eevee is better then Meowth I believe.
Depends, it has to do with diversity, I don't like one thing though dumb luck, Io don't know if you have watched that abomination called Yu Gi Oh Zexal, the main character is so freaking annoying I watch the entire first series because like I said I've been a little of a no lifer and I have to kill time somehow sometimes haha, the guy has 0 skill, Kotetsu in pokemon was dumb but he had skill, he did dumb mistakes, same with Satoshi he has some skill he isn't just awful, the kid from Zexal is awful, I can't stand it, annoying quirks, the anime itself iwth those number cards is stupid, kid has 0 skill, thats the kind of dumb character that is annoying to watch.
Shinji doesn't really fit the genius trainer either imo, hes just strick, elitist and a strategist, hes smart but not a genius but a genius character can be fun if done rigth, I read a manga called Magico that ended already, the main character was fun and he was basicly a genius and its a shonen manga.
