Q4: Besides battling, the main thing is to get the Pokémon ready with the right movesets, IVs, EVs, Natures etc. This is the reason why I prefer to use Pokémon Showdown, it's easier, quicker to get to the battling and if something is wrong with the team you can simply just tweak it. This is much harder to do in the game which leads into my response for Q5. To make competitive battling easier to access I think it needs to be much easier to create the perfect pokémon. With the addition of Hyper training, thiis has become considerably easier however getting your pokémon to level 100 stilll takes a long time and bottle caps are very rare. Super training also no longer exists so EVing pokémon is a little bit harder. I wish it was easier to get good pokémon in game; I would love to play pokémon competitively in game but it's just a bit too difficult for me, or maybe I'm just lazy. Either way, Showdown will have to do for me for now.
