Overdoing Clausing!

No Skarmblisslax, no Double Team, no Baton Pass...

Sometimes you'll run into people who will demand ridiculous rules before battle. More often than not, you'll see folks trying to remove techniques, items and Pokémon they aren't prepared to battle or try to minimize luck.

I urge you not to humor these people.

The idea that techniques a majority of players use without incident are flawed or broken is absolutely absurd! Instead of revamp a team, or think outside the box regarding strategies, these people would rather attempt to change the format of the very game to suit themselves.

That's sad, isn't it?

If you lose, take the loss as a chance to grow. Don't avoid a learning experience because of an over-inflated ego. Some people claim that evasion moves, of even one-hit KO moves cause the game to focus less on 'skill' and more on 'luck', they feel the winner should be the person who wins without introducing luck, but I say that overcoming these situations is a skill that these people obviously lack. Introducing luck is just as viable a winning strategy as anything else. This is a game of percentages, and learning to master them takes real skill.

It really speaks for a person's level of skill when they can only win at a dumbed down version of a game, doesn't it?
