Alright, I say we settle down and listen to a story. I think some of you may remember this one: kappa
But anyway, I say we let everyone play the game the way they see fit. Smogon is the best way to play Singles, VGC is the best way to play Doubles. You can't really compare the two because they play completely different formats. I personally play VGC. Would I like to play Smogon? Absolutely. Pokemon is my favorite game and I would love to learn any way to play it that I can.
Honestly the only reason I play VGC is because it was how I got into the competitive game in the first place through people like Justin (actually I'm pretty sure it was only Justin kappa ) and I've gotten used to it by now. I can't really comment on Smogon because I have literally no experience with it. What I can comment on, however, is the fact that everyone I know who does play Smogon has an incredible knowledge of the game that far surpasses even my own, and so I really can't stand it when people from either "side" call the opposite unskilled.
Come to think of it, why should there even be sides in the first place? We all love Pokemon and we all have our own preferred way to play the game, so can we please just accept the opinions of others without making rash generalizations about other play syles?
Anyway, I didn't exactly mean to rant, but this has been bothering me for a while. The important thing is that today is my 18th birthday and now all I need is 14 more so I can finally beat Justin at something. kappa
