>Fanfic third-world brown people meta
>>59109721It's all homos and niggers
the seething towards showdown feels like an astroturfing campaign to make people accept champions so that less people get mad when showdown is c&d
>>59109733What"fanfic meta" has been a term for years, usually from people who suck at singles, people who were relying solely on a specific pokemon that just got banned or people who prefer VGC.It's not a new thing at all
>>59109721>>59109753Don't you fuck dogs or something?
>>59109721>Pokemon RBY is 6v6 singles>Pokemon GSC is 6v6 singles>Pokemon RSE is 6v6 singles>Pokemon DPPt is 6v6 singles>Pokemon BW is 6v6 singles>Pokemon XY is 6v6 singles>Pokemon SM is 6v6 singles>Pokemon SwSh is 6v6 singles>Pokemon SV is 6v6 singles>Smogon is 6v6 singles>VGC is... doubles bring 6 pick 4As someone who played the games, VGC sounds like the fanfic to me.
>>59109733no one but brown people will get mad at showdown being c and d
>>59109815The only times you ever genuinely do 6v6 in the campaign is against the champion, the final boss (in games where where the champion isn't the final boss) and joke trainers.For 95% of the game, it's more like 6v1, 6v2, 6v3 and sometimes 6v4, with a rare 6v5 against recurring characters as a treat.
>>59109815They hated him because he told the truth
>>59109815>>Pokemon XY is 6v6 singlesActually, XY was when we started to see a real variety in battle formats and the most popular ladder was bring 6 pick 3 singles
and still better than the official meta
>>59109721mi bomba typed third world twice
>>59109815I do wish the mainline games focused more on double battles, or at least have an option to swap between the two.It is one of the weirdest inconsistencies regarding the games.Smogon still isn't an official format, and is fanfic by definition.
>>59110337All gyms/E4 should be doubles to reinforce the idea that it’s “the official competitive format” for pokemon, with only random trainer battles ever being singles. It would also help the game to more effectively mix both if you knew in advance when the run of doubles trainers was coming up (because it was in the gym), otherwise you’re in a situation where you’re either carrying a team that isn’t suited for doubles at all or, more probably, handling the random odd double battle with a singles team and not appreciating any of the things that makes doubles unique.
it was shit the moment they crucified machamp for jirachi's sins
