How do Gen 3 OU Showdown players have any fun using the same ~14 Pokemon over and over again?
>Skarmory
>Tyranitar
>Metagross
>Forretress
>Celebi
>Jirachi
>Blisey
>Starmie
>Cloyster
>Gengar
>Dusclops
>Jolteon
>Breloom
>Aerodactyl
Do they have no shame at their lack of originality? Do these just happen to be their favorite Pokemon? How do they remain their favorite Pokemon after putting up with opponents using them?

they're autistic

It's the designated tryhard tier full of people who fell for youtubers glazing it as the most competitive tier (total lie btw). Even in Gen 1, despite it having the smallest pool of "viable" mons you still see people having fun with shit like Porygon and Sandslash

What is the point of competetive Pokémon if you aren't getting paid?
I get it if you are playing the tournaments where you can make cash, but playing competetive Pokémon just for "fun" sound like a miserable time.
But at least showdowniggers don't need to breed for IVs and EV train for hours or gamble for Pokémon like Champions players.

I think Skarmory and Metagross are worse offenders.

parroting is an admission of defeat

Neither of the games are fun.
If you can't use the mons you love but HAVE to use the same shitmons everyone else uses, what's even the point? Just play Dark SOuls or Palworld at that point because you canm't interact with your favourites anyways and the gameplay is better?

I’m not tryna roast you I just think champions is shit

It's fun.

there are 28 mons in OU though. And others like registeel, regice, kingdra, and raikou who also get used sometimes. I'm not trying to pull the "actually you can use whatever you want" card but it's more diverse than you make it out to be

oh I forgot regirock too. I haven't played Gen 3 OU in about a year but at that point it was already a 20 year old developed metagame so I'm guessing shit hasn't changed that much

because Porygon and Sandslash are viable mons

you don't actually play anything so you don't understand that being untiered has nothing to do with viability, nor that viable mons can be fun mons

Serene Grace is a broken ability before like, gen 6 or 7, and even then, its because paralysis got nerfed. I dont care if its a bigshot mon, jirachi should get booted to ubers in gens 3 and 4

unique strategic competitive gameplay
fulfilling childhood dreams of becoming a pokemon master
learning how to think better
>>
>>59267605
You literally do not play Gen 3 OU.

>>59267611
I dont care, ban jirachi. Steel/Psychic with paraflinch up the ass? It shouldve been gone in 2016, and machamp died for jirachi's sins
>>
>>59266543
You forgot about Dragapult, Venusaur, Floette, Hisuian Typhlosion and Gardevoir
>>
>>59267611
Only boomers stuck in the past play the same stale made up meta for 20 years. "Oh no these are too powerful for our meme shit tier so let's ban them." "Oh no sleep is too broken for our meme shit tier so let's ban them."

zoomers who were barely or not conscious during gen III constitute most of the player growth, and zoomer complaints have driven all the most recent tiering actions
