Sometimes I simply don't feel motivated to make posts about topics. It's annoying getting distracted between what I want to do. My mind wanders too much.

And I never really say much on the occasion that I feel like going on the Battle Server. From what I can tell, the chat is very hectic, haha.
 
I'm finally, once again at home! It only took what... Around 8 hours to finally get here.
 
One thing that's been haunting me and that seems to be relatively strong in the moment is this lack of energy and motivation. It's pretty annoying, especially with PCL finally being resumed and the fact that there are a couple things I should do for it. It's also affected my posting rate and I've caught myself a couple times starting a post, only to cancel it afterwards. I wonder what I should do about it; any ideas? :)
 
Competitive battling is one of those things i've said that I want to try to get into, but I never do. I just prefer to be one who will do fun playthroughs.
 
I suck at competitive battling, because I always get outpredicted. Last Commday I was eliminated in the first round of a tourney because my opponent was switching his Pokemon so much just to counter whatever attacks I was using. It got so frustrating I had no choice but to forfeit.
 
I used to be really into competitive battling... well, watching people battling and rating teams haha. Nowadays I lack the drive.

I'm more into VGC and Doubles nowadays anyway. I mean, when I battle a friend of mine with our in-game teams I won all the multi-Pokemon battles and lost at the single and rotation battles. Doubles are fun after all. Go Doubles!

Singles are fun too but I'm just not as interested yay
 
I tried competitive once when the Mysidia server was around ages ago, but haven't really battled since. Not really my type of cake though.
 
Competitive battling is too much effort for me. Calculating stats and whatnot, ain't nobody got time for that!
 
Getting competition-ready Pokemon feels too much like a chore to me, and I don't get enough enjoyment from actually battling to make it worth it, personally.

After beating the main storyline I usually end up putting hours into all the little side things instead; contests, Pokemon amii, buying fancy clothes in Pokemon X, training up another team to challenge the league again, completing the Pokedex, etc. xD
 
Competitive battling... eeeeehhhhh.

I want to get into it, I just don't have the time or motivation. Plus the fact that I'm horribly late to the party, and cba to learn tons of stuff for it. I already have enough on my plate :P
 
bahaha I don't normally battle in any way, but I was doing a Fortune Cup battle yesterday (for the event going on in BTB right now) and the reaction was basically "omg I never thought I'd see her battling".

Was rather amusing to me.

And yeah, oh god I can see the appeal of it now. Even after losing, it's like "what can I do to not lose next time hmm hmm hmm let's go mess with things."
 
Wanting to go back to competitive battling, but I need to settle down first...too many stuff going on in my life right now eeeeeeee.
 
Honestly, I can't stand competitive battling. Maybe it's just because I lost my best friend/sister to it. She got so obsessed with that she stopped talking to me Though, she also had a lot of other problems in life as well. I just don't really like it because I guess I never actually understood why it's such a big thing. I mean, I play for fun, you know?

Competition of games is fun though. People who play games competitively aren't just super-serious fun-haters, haha. They wouldn't do it if they didn't enjoy it.

But I guess it can feel intimidating because it is competition. And for me personally I can't keep it up for a long time without breaks or it loses the appeal - it's just one of those things, y'know.

I used to be terrified of PvP in any game haha

That fear disappeared when I started playing Smite, since its only option is PvP. Ever since PvE battles in MMOs/online games have just felt so repetitive and predictable - not as fun as the competitive unpredictable nature of PvP.

I've played those before. Even then, I never really fought with others. I stopped playing them when i got my mac laptop. I used to play one called InsanityFlyff, which was a private server. I loved it so much, but I also had some bad experiences. I spent a lot of time hanging out with friends rather than actually leveling up too. Boy, was that a huge mistake. Those friends turned out to be well... not very true. :/ After that, I stopped bothering with the whole clique thing and having a group of friends. A few friends at a time is all I need.

Anyway, I'd rather not get involved with competitive battling. Considering what it did to my ex-best friend/sister (not blood-related), I can imagine it's very addictive and what not. Also because as an autistic, I can get addicted to something easily... so much that I get totally obsessed with it. My ex-best friend had Asperger Syndrome, among other health issues. So, I think this is exactly what happened to her. She became absorbed with it that she lost sight of me and other friends. :/
