Jesiah is a cocky moron who thinks he is a god for winning one battle. If you beat someone, win with dignity. Don't flaunt your win around. A lot of us have beat good battlers, but we don't make a warstory showing how much of an arrogant ass we are. Theres a difference between predicting your opponent as an idiot and treating him as one; Jesiah drifted to the latter.I suggest you read the War Story Jesiah Teg vs Surgo, my point is proven there
Ben, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy!Read Jesiah's warstory, I don't like the saying "play like your opponent is an idiot." It doesn't help me, nor do I understand it. If anyone wants to take a chance at explaining it, go ahead, but I'm warning you it's been tried before.
I also don't like the "go all out" advice, that's exactly what I try to avoid. I play conservatively by nature. Fuck, I don't know what to do anymore. The way I'm playing obviously isn't working. Does that mean I should switch it up and go make an offensive team? Should I try to perfect my current style of play- which isn't working? I feel so lost. -.-
Exactly what I do. it's useful to have the information at your fingertips, in case they are running some random UU you have never heard of.I open Smogon, and get the analysis all ready incase they have any unexpected Pokemon / Movesets. I also open a type chart >.>
I think the best way to be successful is to make a team with a goal. Then, with each individual move, consider how it will help you acheive that goal whilst keeping the bigger threats that your opponent may have in check. I've hit a few slumps and I can say that it isn't fun. At one point I had to take a break from battling and then start back with a completely new team. If there's anyway I can help you on shoddy/wi-fi let me know. :)Read Jesiah's warstory, I don't like the saying "play like your opponent is an idiot." It doesn't help me, nor do I understand it.

That's what I do. I switch to Blissey whenever my mewtwo is effected by a status condition.i try to stall as long as possible. Hopefully pissing off the other guy affecting their game.
From Seph's warstory.Clash of the Titans said:I finally finished my uber team 2 days ago and knew the day had to come where I would face Jibaku and his unknown team that I felt I had no chance against. Since we both knew this was going to be warstoried, both of us were nervous about this battle. Jibaku informed me he was sweating and had to get a cold glass of water to cool himself down. As for myself, my heart was pounding like nothing else. As I turn off the annoying DS music and open up itunes, the screen flashes. “I might as well just get this over with,” I said to myself
I meant postponing our battle, not actually stalling in the battle.That's what I do. I switch to Blissey whenever my mewtwo is effected by a status condition.
