I called you out because it's ignorant to call Pokemon a "simple game" without having seen competitive online play. This is like saying, "Chess is a simple game and there is nothing more to it than simple tactics, because i beat it on iphone".
I think "What the hell are you talking about" constitutes as hostility.
It's hostile if said in a sharp tone. Unfortunately for me my tone couldn't be heard.
I've beaten many people with the team I listed here via the cable for gameboy ergo I've fought people, I'm not so young.
I simply use "working team" instead of a "cute team" or a "favorite team".
The Pokemon
game is simple. You train a certain number of pokemon, collect the badges, win the League, and if you're still up to it you can collect all of the pokemon.
The PvP play has very small room for improvisation. Two people chose a team of 6. They battle 1 on 1 or 2 on 2. The only thing that can secure a victory here is the type advantage.
Of course you'll have pokemon on steroids when going PvP, all stats maxed out, hp and ap maxed out etc.
Snorlax gives you monstrous advantage and takes out at least 1 of your opponent's pokemon before the battle turns into a big pokemon switching dance.
I don't know maybe they invented some "stronger when happy" stat in these new games, I didn't get the chance to play them yet.
There are more good teams, I'm not saying my team is the most ultimate.
To me the game started to get annoying after the gold/silver. Now there are almost 500 pokemon and the game lost it's charm with all the PC emulators.
I've started playing pokemon soon after it got out on the market and spent several years leaning over my gameboy mashing the buttons. I may be old school but I know some things about the game.
