Pokemon VGC '10!

I think you guys should be more concerned with what works then whats original.

"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites."

Stop making Pokémon serious business, dammit.

I thought one of the major things about playing a game (or going to a tournament no less, especially for those who drive miles and miles to go) was to win/have fun/not get beaten the first round you play. There is nothing wrong with using your own sets. You can use original sets that work without resorting to gimmicks or really crappy Pokemon, you just have to be intelligent as you go about it. There is also nothing wrong with using sets other people make, because if it works better then what you had in mind and fits on your team, then there is really no reason not to use it.

I like playing Pokemon because it's fun to play against other people, I end up having a good time. But I'm not going to let me wanting to be super original with every set stop me from using what works (nor will using what works stop me from creating my own sets/using uncommon Pokemon) because not doing either of those would lessen the experience the game has for me. Whether competitive or dicking around with friends over wifi, the game is still fun to me either way.
