Has Gen 6 changed your play style?

[WingedDragon]

I think I have to change my play style. My problem is I dont know how i want to have it changed. Nor do I really know where to start. I am just wondering has anyone changed their play style?

What exactly is meant by playing style? Do you mean battle strategy?

 

[s0nido]

I was never into competitive battling until gen 6, so I guess you could say that it's changed my battling style. :P

 

[Ooka]

Yeah, most playstyles are forced to change with the changing metagames. Stall kinda got a boot this gen with more powerful sweepers and wall breakers, and of course Hyper Offense got a nice boost. I've been doing semistall since D/P though and still do, it works for me fine. So no, mine hasn't changed much, if at all.

While hyper aggressive and aggressive strategies seem to be benefiting the most from the change in metagame, i feel that with more time, stall/semistall strategies will become more viable, though i personally feel they are viable right now.

New move typing and weaknesses minorly changes the way i play. Since steel no longer resists Dark and Ghost types, every time i see a Metagross, i crunch it.

I would say that mine has adapted to the changes of the meta, as usual/expected.

 

[zygardian harbinger]

Yeah, I agree with dreyko on that one. I'm probably not going to rely heavily on the Dragon-type like I used to, with these Fairy-types roaming around... :/ Other than the metagame, I haven't really changed anything.

 

[KoolKat vs. Lucas]

Yeah, it has.
The reason?

Before Gen6, I wasn't able access Wi-Fi since you have to have a WEP or no security on internet to access the Battle online.
Now, I can access battles through Wi-Fi.
