It took this imbecile forever to realise Pokémon is nothing but an RNGslop.

First we have PhD student FlygonHG who complains about having to carry just a single mon that knows Rock Climb right before Red and now we have Lavos the overachieving nerd with his admittedly impressive writing skills. Are you expecting me to take American universities seriously?

Lavos was 100% right, zoom-zooms destroyed the comp scene.

Nobody complained about RNG in the early late 90s or 00s.
Lavos had no clue about Pokemon. Pokemon battles are all about maximizing win probabilities

Pokemon will always be uncompetitive because of inherent RNG mechanics like damage ranges, critical hits, move accuracy, para/sleep/confused RNG, secondary effect RNG, etc.

Smogon is too retarded to realize that. You can ban as much as you want, and the game will still be influenced by luck.

Influence by luck doesn't mean it's uncompetitive anyways. Guiding the RNG is the key skill.

You could make the same argument for many games/ sport. Is, say, Sky Jumping also uncompetitive just because someone might get a random tailwind boost during the flight which would secure his victory?
