    Please, read this carefully.

    I'm a 24 y-o loser. Never have I been so frustrated with Pokémon. I bought Pokémon X in sept. 2014.

    I have no friends. I've never made a single trade in any Pokémon game (the only one I don't have is B/W). Always playing alone. Pokémon were always my only friends. I started to play again when I learned about the new Poké Amie feature. Finally, I had the chance to actually show affection.

    However, as I finished the game, I felt lost. Nowhere to go, only the unfair challenges left to do. I decided to try my hand on Battle Mansion. Never have I felt so humiliated as that Blue Double-Battle boss girl made me feel. Why do you have to make this unfair? Why can't I just win against every in-game characters as I always did in all Pokémon versions I played? This is the main reason why I always avoided online or link battling. I don't want to be embarrassed by a child game. Do you understand how painful is this? I have no friends and a completely disfunctional family, which was the reason why I tried suicide 6 times and ended up with broken bones, severe burns and scars. I try to make my reality bearable by playing childish games, but it seems you couldn't careless about losers like me. "Play another game!" or "Get a life!" you say. No. I never had problems with pokémon and I actually never (nor will I) had a life.

    Please, make in-game battles easier, mainly Battle Mansion ones. It was hard to explain to my stupid parents why I drank lighter fluid, hoping I would kill this pain of being humiliated by a game (i.e. killing myself). I don't want to experience stupid competitive play. I don't want to avoid game features because no one understand how painful it is to have a hard imaginary life (a.k.a. gaming life, in my case) with a absurdly hard real life.

    I'm destroyed. If this was the objective, congratulations. You destroyed the only good gaming experience I had. The only good childhood momery with Pokémon Gen I and II. Everything else is just pain, humiliations, abuses, frustrations. I'm tired of being beaten down by my own life. Why should I bear virtual life humiliating me?

    Should I restrain myself in my own sheel? Should I avoid any social contact? Should I let go of the smiles I had while playing Pokémon Crystal after being beaten up by my abusive father?

    In the end, I guess no one cares. And if the Blue Girl is so sorry by killing my Gardevoir, my Charizard, my Greninja and my Lucario (my best friends), why did she do that in the first place? Why don't you make these battles easy, so none of them have to worry about this? Why do you make the AI learn my weakness, so it can destroy me? Real people already know how to do that. So why can't I have an ephemerous relief in a childish game?

    Please, I need an answer.

    My most painful "thank you",
    Suicide Loser, he whose hope is lost.
     
    I've been under psychological treatment since I was raped back in 1999. It's been 16 years and no sign of improvement. I apologize for posting this here. I believe you can imagine how painful it is to have your last thread of hope being ripped off, ironically by the game who helped you make through your teens.
     
    If you want to win at the Battle Maison, you'll have to learn the ins and outs of competitive Pokémon battling, as the in-game team you used to get through the game generally isn't enough. Smogon is an excellent starting point.

    And as harsh as this sounds, the Gentleman in the Battle Resort in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire sums this up effectively:

    It's one thing to enjoy leisurely battles, but real battles can be a severe trial. Truly strong Trainers sometimes must be prepared to choose Pokémon that can win rather than their favorite Pokémon.

    Edit: just so this post isn't entirely negative, try to make friends here at Pokecommunity. Who knows, some of them may be willing to exchange Friend Codes with you for battling, trading or exploring Friend Safaris. All games from Gen IV onward allow online play (though Gens IV and V don't have that feature anymore).

    As Platinum said, you need to train Pokemon specifically for competitive battling and that means breeding tons of Pokemon with good enough IVs and then training the appropriate EVs.

    Do follow the link to Smogon that Platinum posted above and it's a great place to learn the basics for succeeding in competitive play. Because if you're unprepared, those trainers can outsmart and destroy you since most of their teams are designed to throw your team's major weakness right in your face.
     
    I get my rear end handed to me constantly by Super singles/doubles and just cant get past even 20 wins in that mode at the moment, dont give up read try new pokemon and go again. I started out not being able to get above 5 battles and ive improved through trial and error. I use Maison as my lead in to online battles, you're never going to win all the time but some of the time is good enough as long as its fun.
     
    Battle mansion is designed for Competitive trainers/players and it's not for fainted heart who lacks the knowledge of competitiveness as you progress the battles become much harder and you need to have a decent balanced team to win.
     
    Like some of the others have said, the Battle Maison is hard. You could even argue it cheats a bit since I'm fairly certain it tries to pick counters to your team after a while. But it is possible to beat. Pokemon battling can get kinda complex and has a lot of subtleties, so reading up on some stuff and asking questions over in our Battling and Team Building section may help you out.

    As for making friends.....you're on a website filled with Pokemon fans. I think you'll make a few eventually.

    But regarding your mental health issues, there's very little anyone here can do to help you with that, so it'd be best to seek help for that elsewhere I think.

    And for the time being, I'm going to close this thread.
