Hello. I was just wondering. Another user on showdown sent me some mean messages after the battle between us had finished. Is there anything I can do about it other than being mean myself? Is there someone I can report this too?
I have decided to revisit this topic as I feel that my opinion of what should be done about baton pass has changed significantly recently. I believe that a blanket ban is more appropriate as it is often very frustrating to face and I find it to be too easy to exploit myself. I don't use it...
