I don't like shoddy, since my team building skills on shoddy really show how much I have yet to learn (because it is harder to make a "real" team to beat somebody, so my oponent actually has to use alot of time to beat me with the IV breeding and all. so My gym team is my only sucsesful one, since it's supposed to be made of alot of rock types XD). I don't like the fact that there are no graphics, and that your oponent's probably spend more time on there per day than you do for a month, so you're always behind. XD
The thing is I like to battle with a team that I have put time and effort into (Assembling shards and TMs, EV training) because then I get more satisfaction if I win, but still won't be too sad when I lose. XD
That's atleast why I prefer the games than shoddy. XD
