Hmmmmmm.

I would agree on the strategy idea if everyone got the same cards. Or drew from the same deck. Instead people show up with what they have created, so while they do have to use strategy, it's their work before the competition that usually decides the winner.

Unlike other competitive strategy games, like StarCraft, the entirety of Pokemon from a competitive standpoint isn't based on what you do with your Pokemon alone; it's also based on the Pokemon you have and the creation of them. Part of the competitive aspect is breeding and training .. not merely what you do with the…

Hi. Hello. Gaming repair tech over here. Let me get straight to the point here.

THIS IS WHY ITEMS SHOULDUNT BE IN MARIO KART THERE IS NO COMPETING BECAUSE ITEM ALWAYS RANDOM AND CAN HARM YOU DESPITE SKILL AND MAKE MARIO KART NOT COMPETEATIVE ENOUGH ALSO ALL YOUR POKEMON SHOULD BE ADAMANT OR MODEST AND IF THERE NOT THERE TERRIBLE YOLO PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only a liberal would cook chicken that long

I just really like pretty cakes.

The whole thing gets sucked inside like a tape measure snapping back into its case.
