I've been creating competitive VGC teams since BW, and I've never understood why battle points are rewarded solely for in-game events when the main reason that many people grind for them is to get items necessary for competitive play?
Why not have online Battle Spot battles reward with Battle Points? Some nominal amount for a loss, but more for a win (maybe based on the ranking of the opponent?) That way the more you battle other trainers, the more stuff you can unlock to create more teams. The in-game battle events can still reward some, if taking that away is a big deal, but it's sad that competitive play has no in-game reward to encourage you to battle more.
