Ugh...I know the Poke Center regulars didn't do anything, Skyler even supported me (thank you, by the way), but no one posted to defend me and I basically felt backed into a corner and...I don't know. The fact that all I heard was "You're flaming me, can't we be friends?", "lol", "lol2", and "This is entertaining" didn't help. Which basically made me feel like everyone was laughing at me. I was just trying to defend non-competitivity and it felt like everyone thought I was an idiot for it, which just angered me even more because I see nothing wrong with that.
But what do you mean I started off too strong? I mean, the second paragraph I suppose was a little unnecessary but I'm getting sick of people coming in here and spamming up the boards and not really caring. How does someone who's been a member longer than I have not know that advertising isn't allowed?
I don't really take offense to not being called good, but telling us we all suck was unnecessary. For the way I play I do just fine. I think the fact that I was able to beat my entire Pearl Version except for up to the first badge with one single Pokemon shows that I'm good at the single-player. I may suck at competitivity, but as I think it's obvious, competitivity isn't everything Pokemon. It didn't even exist for the first game.
It's the whole attitude of these people that annoys me. They didn't even present their arguments nicely, they just told us we suck and that we're childish for not playing competitively. It was completely and totally unnecessary. There was, what, one person that nicely explained that they think competitivity is the biggest part of Pokemon? I realize I didn't exactly reply nicely either, but I'm not going to be nice and kind to someone who blatantly insults me for no reason.
