Ultimately you're entitled to play competitive Pokemon the way you want. If you want to use Pokemon you have a history with, that's fine. However, I think you're missing what the point of the word "competitive" is to most people. People build teams using Pokemon that are optimally EVed / IVed...

Lilligant is definitely my favourite. Best Grass-type!

My eyesight is terrible to the point where I can barely function without my glasses. For example, when I broke my glasses earlier this year I could barely make out my friends's faces from three metres away, couldn't use my laptop properly without using something like 500% zoom, and was just...

I don't like facing Gothitelle very much. I dislike how PP stalling passive stuff with Shadow Tag is the whole reason to use it. Last generation I hated facing Alomomola in RarelyUsed. It was extremely hard to wear down thanks to its huge defensive stats and pure Water typing, had Scald which...

I need to stop using terrible Pokemon. My predicting has improved considerably recently but it's no use against a good player when I am just continually handicapping myself by using things like Dustox in RU or Arceus-Fire in Ubers. I also need to work on my teambuilding. My love of esoteric...

ORAS RU pre-Mega Steelix ban and SM Ubers pre-Marshadow release were probably my favourite metagames. I personally think ORAS RU started to fall to bits after Mega Steelix got banned but before that it was a really fun metagame with what felt like a really large pool of usable Pokemon. SM Ubers...

I'm wearing Fortnite pyjamas

I think I peaked around 77th on the BW UU ladder in mid-late 2012 while using an actual viable team. My more recent peaks have been around the 200-300 mark on the Ubers ladder, although in my defence both of them were while I was using Mega Mawile / Swords Dance Arceus-Dragon teams (both of...

I used to play Pokemon

The biggest thing that's changed is the fact that I'm away from Australia for the rest of the year and for almost the entirety of January for student exchange. Living on my own for the first time in a place so far away from Australia has been an exciting experience so far. Outside of that, I...

Take 6! Let's go!!!! I ate some cheese the other day and it was really nice though I'm not sure what type of cheese it was My favourite songs at the moment are "Dragostea din tei" (ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu, ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa-haa) and "Traag" (basically Dutch's answer to Despacito). I have...

I haven't been around the whole city yet but, from what I can tell, it's better than Sydney. The public transport system seems a lot better (if a bit more expensive), it's cleaner, things are closer together than they are in Sydney because Amsterdam's so much smaller, and there's an actual...

Hi. It's been too long to recall since I last did an AMA (I think three years?) and I'm bored to tears in my apartment so I figured I might as well start one up. A bit of context about my history here: I was an admin on the Battle Server (on a bit of an on-and-off basis) and Competitive...

When I have class or other commitments I'll go to bed no later than 1AM. However, if I'm not doing anything the next day I will typically not go to bed until 3AM (4AM at the latest). I will almost never wake up later than 12PM because every time I've checked my clock after waking up and seen...
