Cheap Pokemon
« on: August 29, 2011, 09:48:03 PM »
There are tons of pokemon out there, but many are underpowed, overpowered, or just plain cheap. What in your opinion is the most cheap pokemon, that you hate to see in battle?

Mine is shedinja.

I. HATE. POLITOED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /angry rant

Okay, now that thats done, I can explain. Politoed has changed the metagame from competative to just plain repetative. Now every other battle is against a rain team with the same battle style over and over again. Politoed has made the metagame completely centered around weather. Whats worse is that with the permanent rain that Politoed brings, a plethora of other pokemon who abuse rain follow. I like how the metagame is changing from gen 4 but I just wish that people wouldn't spam rain teams as much.

I don't like battling against legends.  I don't care if they are considered uber or not.  They just get on my nerves.

shedinja is so easy to get around its sad.
focus sash toxic kills it every time.
or sucker punch.
or a million other things.
Other than Ubers, most pokemon have a clear and simple counter.
and even the ubders have counters, they just tend to be a little less effective because of how fat they are stat wise.
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.

I just thought of another pokemon I really find annoying. Volcaronna! After 1-2 quiver dances, it wipes my whole monopsychic team to shreds! Its gonna be really tough fighting it in PU since there are no stealth rocks >:(

Idk most of the legendaries are pretty cheap.  I hate seeing them being used.  Anyone who considers themselves good at pokemon should take a step back and evaluate their team.  If you have one or more legendaries and or use Stealth Rock, You might not be so good at the pokemanz.

Using Stealth Rocks does not make you a bad player. Not by a long shot. It supports your team and is crucial to some offensive teams. It breaks focus sashes and sturdy which many pokemon need to KO their opponent. I kinda agree with the legendary though but at the same time I don't. In an interview of Satoshi Taijiri (the creator of pokemon), he said that he actually likes the idea of trainers using legendaries to battle. The VGCs were also littered with legendaries. While I do think most legendaries are cheap, I also think that some are very vaible for battle. This is why we have an Uber tier.

if you don't want to battle Pokemon you don't like then don't play in that tier simple as that. All my Pokemon are UU i'm sure except 1. Also this kinda reminds me how people in cod complain, if you complain about a gun that you can use then don't complain it's your fault for putting your self at a disadvantage because you use crap guns.
