Except Fox is top-tier in Melee (no, this point has nothing to do with my username). Moves like Double Team as well as ubers are like the Foxes of Pokemon - without banning them, the game loses all variety as everyone will play them and nothing else.

Sorry, just have to put my two cents out there.

i disagree, and think that smogon for the most part balances well

in my eye manipulating chance is always annoying and scrubbish

but eh, people all think differently

or

they would rather play a decent match rather than a torturous slog that is essentially a series of coin flips

except sometimes the coin is massively rigged in favor of one player over another

or it's rigged both ways and the match takes seven centuries

competitive anything needs to put as much control into the hands of the competitors as possible, or else there's no competition

And like when they go to defeat their first terrorist or whatever, the terrorists are all like "Ahahaha, we have the embassy rigged with explosives, Z-Team! What will you do in your feeble attempt to thwart our plot?"

And they just sit there and do disconcerting antisocial shit and try to have a stilted conversation with the terrorists about life.

The problem is there is nothing in the competiors hands in pokemon besides trying to land a super effective attack.

As such manipulating chance gives some stratagy when there is none.

you know, I probably would read/watch 'the Z-team', but then they'd make a movie adaption that messes it all up

#279221: Jun 25th 2014 at 5:50:51 PM

actually imca there is shit tons of strategy to pokemon

yes its true super effective is a big part but

you can easily switch to a pokemon that resists or is immune to the enemy

and while he switches, you can boost speed or another stat to destroy the enemy, or inflict a crippling ailment to the enemy to make his switch moot

@duff: dammit

A lot of it is predicting what your opponent will do. Will they switch out their Heatran for a Flying-type to dodge your Earthquake? Are they counting on you predicting that and using Ice Beam instead, thus causing them to stay with their Heatran? That's where a lot of the fun is in my opinion. A battle of wits.

I played quite a bit against my friends, and won most of the time.... Hated single battles because of that.

Double is way more fun, at least in it you have combos and more strategy then well... you can try to say there is more to it then that, but there really is not if you have a half way decent team. :/
