>tfw your favorite mon got power crept and is no longer competitively viable
>>57195412It’s ok most of the fanbase just cries about powercreep without actually playing the games
>>57195412Wobbuffet and I have been on a ride.From shit to godly to shit.The pendulum will swing to godly again one day…One day…
>>57195412>giving a shit about powercreep>giving a shit about competitiveyou never loved them in the first place KYS
>>57195412>not using them anyways for shits and giggles
>>57195412>Your favourite pokemon isn't Charizard >your favourite pokemon isn't immune to PowerCreepCould never be me
>>57195412>TFW your favorite mon was never competitively viable
if youre good at the game anything is competitively viable
>>57195412More Pokemon are competitively viable than you think. Stop staring at smogshit tier lists.
I quit playing comp and being invested in this franchise once my bros like Gyarados and Aerodactyl stopped being viable in Gen 7. What the fuck is even the point anymore? GF just forces cancer each new generation, and makes the game more gimmicky and unfun just like Yugioh and all the other jap games that have tons of power creep. I'm a main quest casual fag now. Honestly Gen 6 was the beginning of the end of comp being fun. Fairies and the start of generational/regional gimmicks ruined the balance of the game. Fairies should have been a very rare type like Ghosts and Dragons were in Gens 1 and 2 rather than a heavily spammed type like Ice, Flying, Ground, and Poison.
>>57196958>heavily spammed type like IceIce is the single rarest type IIRC.
>>57195412>tfw when your favorite mon keeps getting bullshit power boosts and gimmicks to keep it relevant
>>57195412> VGC goes on indefinite hiatus> this is no longer an issue
>>57196958Ice, fairy, and Poison are the three least common types. They’re spammed because two counter dragon and one counters fairy.
>>57196958>Gyarados not viableI'm sorry, but... what?
>>57197558You're thinking of moves. Ghost is third least common type. Poison is a common type.
>>57197580Ignore him, he doesn't play the game.
>>57195412bro like 90% of fully evolved pokemon are now "competitively unviable" people will shit on a pokemon and you look it up and its UU
>>57197635>people will shit on a pokemon and you look it up and its [FANFIC META]Irrelevant.
They tried gutting my favorite's ability but he's still getting use to this day
>>57197635The hilarious thing is smogon tiers exist specifically so pokemon that might be outshined by others can still be used viably in a more fitting metagame for them but I don't think a large portion of /vp/ understands this and just thinks tiers that aren't ou exist so you can mock them for being "shitmons"
>>57195412That's why smogon has low tiers. You like Articuno and Rhydon? Just play ZU.
>>57196507This is a factually incorrect post. Smogon makes MORE mons viable, not less. That's the whole point of usage-based tiering. Don't talk about things you don't understand.
>>57195412it's not fair
>>57197743utterly retarded
Somehow happened to Jolteon, though that's mostly from losing all his moves.
>>57196958this feels like an AI trained exclusively on /vp/ posts that has no actual knowledge of the games
>>57197986jolteon's better in sv than it's been in a long time anon...
>>57195412>favorite mon was never viable in the first placeWho cares
>>57198006Because of Tera or because of a better movepool aside from Ice Tera Blast?
>>57197824It was always shit though
>>57198350it also got calm mind along with the other eevees
>>57195412Why did they have to nerf Battle Bond Why did they nerf Protean Where is the Red orb?
>>57197737>ArticunoIt's good in the actual game. Why would I want to play a fanfic meta?
>>57198372>quad steel weak>quad rock weak>quad freeze-dry weak>quad ground and water weak>quad ice weakwtf are these teams
