Pokémon Black & White (be warned: spoilers)

[water dog]

It's a game with competitive multiplayer; the fact that minmaxing exists and goes unpunished (unlike say, Brawl, where most teching and attack patterns were intentionaly and noticably tweaked or removed) makes is pretty clear that you're perfectly within your rights - maybe even encouraged to go for the high-tier teams.

By that same vein, the game itelf is aware of metagame limits - a lot of multiplayer modes limit and ban what would be Ubers to metagamers.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from not using an ideal team, and if you have fun that way (I do!); then it's all good. Just don't bitch when someone else is playing to the limits imposed by the system and you lose because you've imposed a self-handicap. If you hate that kind of person don't play against them; fucking christ. These days I swear people who whine about the trials and tribulations of 'playing the way THEY want' are now The Worst Kind of Gamer. No one cares.

im not whining about playing against uber teams im saying that min/maxing in pokemon is kind of like trying to make the perfect bowl of cereal, and also that its kind of ridiculous that to enjoy the game you have to play with the most powerful pokemon.

The first WiFi Event in Pokémon Black & White gives you the special item, the Liberty Ticket.

Liberty Ticket

I can almost taste the Americana.

i hope it has the statue of liberty on it that would just be fucking icing
