We need to designate a team of people who can decide which strategies are too dickish to use. Right now it depends on which person you're asking, so I'd really like a set in stone type deal. Especially since strategies are easy to test with PO.

I just go by the Uber list on Smogon.
Hearing someone complain that a move is "too dickish" is way too subjective.

I just want to make it fun for everybody. I get that Sub/Recover Mischivious Heart Sableye is hard to beat. I just hope everyone is on the same page here.
I'm probably not going to online battle with you people because you use strategies and shit and that takes the fun out of the games for me. My idea of fun is everybody on my team using beams.

a magnezone with hyper beam/zap cannon would be the best

Complaints about cheap strategies are mind games by casual players to make you hesitant to use strategies that they do not. It is an elaborate and unconsciously done troll.

When you play someone and they beat you, your response should simply be "Good game." It should not be "Dammit X is so cheap" or "If I had done X then you woulda been creamed." Respect your opponent enough to not degrade them in the afterglow of their win.

Extremely competitive players use similiar mind games as this in the form of trash talking. The objective is the same, you attempt to get under your opponent's skin and make them hesitant to act on their first instinct. Trash talking is an extremely effective way for a less skilled player to dominate a more skilled player by rattling their self confidence

The thing that annoys be about all players, competitive and casual, good and bad, every player anywhere, is the caveats after a match is over. How they try to explain how if things were different, that they would have won. Where they do not let the person who won take credit for the victory. Instead, they try to blame their loss on an insurmountable amount of factors. The world would be a better place and matches would be a lot more fun to have if people would admit that the reason they lost is the other person.

This is a circular argument because no matter how often you explain how the tiers work someone will just not get it.

Simplified: the only tiers that are actually separated with any thought or complex reasoning are Uber and Not Uber.

it helps me get a good idea of whether or not my own strategies and teams are cheap or broken

the lazy, unmotivated masses of casual players are holding back the truly skilled and innovative battlers from reaching their maximum potential

it's not like I'm using togekiss or jirachi here
there are people out there who want you eliminated
your only tools to defend yourself are glare
and headbutt
no speed, no defense, no evolutions; just serene grace and whatever moves with special effects are still available to you

Well, before they started making everything all 3d and doing any one turn took a week.
I'm going to take a baby step and have my Scrafty do that strategy one of you homps posted for me in the last thread.
I Googled it, but it just links me back to a bunch of random forums, with threads that are more bitching than discussing.
have always just stuck with my childhood mantra "if they're legendaries they are a poopoo head for using them"
although in modern terms i just dont like using pokes that cant breed
because like
fuck soft resetting
and secondly they usually tend to be really good and i cant be arsed to obsess over having a good pokemon when i cant breed one up when i want to
and if i like, soft reset for a jolly one and then a super cool moveset comes out that requires adamant im all like
boner deflate
ETA - like my Lonely Dodrio
how can one pokemon be both "serious" and "impetuous and silly"
