I agree, though I usually phrase it the other way, :P Pokemon is mainly about competition, and that is how I have fun. A good, clean victory always puts a smile on my face. And don't use Tyranitar to lecture me. I don't use it. Too slow and it's just asking for Lucario to shove an Aura Sphere up its ass.
Nah, Pokemon is about having fun so whatever you think is fun, go for it. That's why GameFreak stuffed battles, shinies, contests, underground, and all those other features so the game could appeal to everyone. Back in Red/Blue, it was just battle battle battle hack oh noes Missingno battle battle. At least in D/P, I can do other things since battling is not my fancy. I suck at battles. I can't go online with my Delcatty, Furret, Houndoom, Butterfree, Flareon, Arbok, none of those since they'll get whopped by an OU pokemon so now I'm forced to raise pokemon I dislike just to keep up with the rest of the group and that isn't fun so I gave up on that. *cough I got murdered by Tyranitar and it made me sad D8* And I got killed by Lucario too.... Bah. It's so ugly IMO, especially the shiny color and it kills me to look at it every time I see it in the box. D8 Shiny Delcatty is so pretty nya ~ *slapped* You like battles, and I like looking at my pretty pokemon and trading and w/e else da hill I do. We should make like a Electrode and explode since we're so different. 8)
Edit: I know pokemon aren't actually real but I'm a silly and lonely girl. Wtf am I supposed to do all summer? Love ya too. o_O
