  • hi, dpp cup, I think the guy you scheduled with was mistaken, I'm gmt+2, I can mostly play on afternoon and evening (weekend evenings I can't)
    Hello! I just want to start by saying thanks for the help you've given and the good times we've had in my journey to reach high ladder in OU with my Gardevoir. We've shared a number of great moments, but I've come to the realization that it is time to step away from PS starting today. I find myself frustrated with the current state of competitive Pokemon as a whole, and perhaps it is because of the mechanics and Pokemon of generation 9. If I were to draw a comparison as to what it's like to play this game, it would have to be day trading stocks. The number of ways to lose for factors outside of my control has become infuriating to the point of insanity. It isn't just RNG, it's having to guess what my opponent does, whether they tera or not. Having my best Pokemon nuked without warning with no way to scout or predicting them to burn tera and they do not... It does not feel like a healthy dynamic for a competitive game. And then there's the pokemon. I don't play lower tiers since OU is considered to be the flagship and standard meta and has one of the highest player counts -> accomplishments there feel more impactful (and maybe to a fault) but SV OU has felt easily more suffocating than any other metagame I have seen. I've never felt so strongly toward the creatures the game is based on such that I make the kind of hateful remarks that I do (won't go into that here).

    Altogether, I just feel burnt out. Too much so to try lower tiers or any other metas. But it's okay, I've got out of SV what I came for - to be counted among the strongest together with Gardevoir. I walk away not a loser for quitting, but a winner for the accomplishments I've managed especially in a metagame this hostile toward such a pokemon. Carving my own path with such a special Pokemon and reaching where I did gives me a feeling I can't describe.

    This isn't the end of the story with Gardevoir though! I plan to begin a new journey, seeking the gold symbol or highest equivalent in each postgame battle facility, and I'd like to do it live. And maybe when next generation comes around, I'll feel ready to carry on. Anyway, I'll be seeing you and keeping you updated!
