hey trainer
Oh, so this is a no-minded flame war? This is NOTHING BUT NONSENSE OVER WHAT ANOTHER SITE CAME UP WITH. There is nothing I care about. This is SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT the OP, not a post-made flame war and debate over which Pokemon are better than others. And I DON'T FOLLOW Smogon because I HAVE NO NEED TO. And I already play with my favs.
Hey, wasn't flaming you bra. Or trying to start anything, calm down. I was just saying, the whole "Smogon good/Smogon bad" thing was taken care of. Let's not go back to that. I was merely stating that Smogon really isn't as bad as many people make it out to be. I'm not forcing you to follow them, I'm not telling you they're super cool. I'm just saying that they are informative if that's what you're looking for.
And I agree very much with your post, but I was just saying. Though ideally it is best to play with your favorites, strategy is also integral. Surely you (not specifically you, but you the reader) have more than 6 favorite Pokemon, and devising a strategy around what you do like is what I feel is ideal.
I do congratulate you on using your favorites though. As long as you're having fun, then it's all good, right?
If you go back a page or two (or 6), you'll see that I was one of the main factors this thread is not shut down and back on track. This was a "I hate Smogon/I love Smogon" flame war. Now it isn't.
The people who posted on this thread, including the creator, started getting into this debate on whether Smogon was good or bad and if the people were drones for following them or not. And that's not what this thread was for, so I put a bit of effort in to prevent it from being shut down, because this is a good topic. I would post links to each and every post I made arguing this to prove my point, but I think this is sufficient enough.
Again, if you don't want to use Smogon, power to you. I'm not forcing you. I'm not telling you to. Or insulting you for not. But I want to snuff any "anti-Smogon/pro-Smogon" arguments before they have time to fester.
Hopefully I don't sound too mean. I was just saying. No grudge against you.
