for me its just when ever i have competed in anything it always took the fun out of it for me. so yeah i know a lot of people have fun competing but its just not for me. hell i had more fun losing then winning whenever i competed in anything.
I used to play the game competitively during Gen 4, but stopped since it took up too much time. I came back at April on Showdown though since it was effortless. But now I'm slightly better at planning schedules and I have the time to breeds/train
