ask me what my 6th was.

[Isa]

Crystal:

New User 's

Btw - last was probably Raichu

[Dexter]

crystal don't be such a dick he's new.

Crystal I'm so fucking sick of your elitist attitude. You think you're so much smarter and better than everyone else and you think you have this whole game figured out (you don't )

You're like vegeta. Sure you're powerful and stronger than all the krillins and piccolos out there, but you're arrogant and think you're the prince of all saiyans. There's always going to be gokus out there stronger than you, just saiyan. So show some humility.

[Crystal_]

what are you talking about. You don't know what I do think. I know there are a lot of people better than me, in fact I know them, and then there are those that I have never known but still are/have been better than me, but I also know I have "this whole game figured out", as everybody that has played it for around +6 months should have.

Yea, anyway, sorry about that, I thought he was one of those noobs; so proud of himself because he thinks he is good despite being the first time he appears on NB, then insults after losing... idk, I guess it's my experience on PO with people like these that you have to end up clicking the "ignore" button. And that laughing at how to sweep a unknown noob with multi-electric team was the point of the whole post. So know I guess that this was just a friendly match.

anyway, dexter, what etlist attitude are you talking about. You don't know me, you have just appeared now after more than a year (when I was a really bad player, and I didn't do anything to nobody). I don't get it.

[Dexter]

dude sorry my post came off really harsh there, apologies.

"but I also know I have "this whole game figured out", as everybody that has played it for around +6 months should have."

See this is what I'm talking about. I've seen you battle and I've read your posts on smogon and here and it's clear you're a very skilled and smart battler, but there is still an even higher strategic level than the 6 month plateau you may have reached. So yes, I find it arrogant to think you know everything and you take your opinions on certain pokemon and strategies as FACTS.

and I don't like when you call people stupid or sucky just because they're not as good as you, I've seen you do it multiple times and I think it's mean spirited

now lets stop derailing this thread and be friends <3

[Isa]

On a note more related to the original subject at hand, I miss playing vs. Brookman.

That tends to be age-related, not community-related.

This. The basic metagame is super easy and simple to learn, but there are countless facts and possible situations to learn about, even if many of them are incredibly similar. There's also reading the opponent and all that jazz.

[Crystal_]

Ultimately, what makes a difference between good players and great players, is the ability to see the battles in the bigger picture. When to go for a Tauros ditto, when to rely on a CH, when you have to sac something and what, when you have to [over]predict, when you just have to play the game, understand the matchups, and how to capitalize off adv. matchups. To know what's your plan for the following turns and understand whats going on, rather than playing with a turn by turn mindset.

After around half a year, I guess everybody knows the theory, but the ability to apply it in the battles is something you learn after each battle and something you get after a lot of years of practice provided you are not playing the game for the sake of playing it.

Bus this is probably more true for GSC/ADV metagames though.

Also, I don't know who Vegeta is. The name sounds familiar but that's all.

And following the trend: <3
