1- I looked up Pokémon battles on youtube and found Smogon youtubers such as shofu, pokeaimMD and Thunderblunder777 and thought it looked fun, so I started hanging out on the Showdown! rooms with other players to learn things and started playing.
2- I think it's just really fun because of the amount of thought you need to put into it. It reminds me of chess, but with more stuff. And also, unlike chess, you don't need skill, only luck.
3- I get hax on the ladder. That's the part where I struggle. Or I try to make cool plays and fail, but that's just me being dumb.
4- skip
5- Well I think that Showdown makes comp really accessible since you can just type in what you want without having to breed teams (or gen them).
6- I'm hyped honestly. There's so much things to try out, and I find something new everyday. I even started playing a bit of VGC, so I'm also discovering a new metagame and I honestly couldn't be happier, everything seems so much fun, probably because it's new.
