Pokemon is but a child's game with many complexities and luck factors, yet we are here, pursuing trophies to fulfill a sense of accomplishment and our desire to be recognized as great players. Is it worth it? No, definitely not. Then why do we continue playing this ridiculous game even after we tell ourselves we're leaving Pokemon, as stated by Bluewind here, and as stated in a deleted post by Bloo where he curses someone out after getting lucked and states that he is leaving Pokemon for good, only to come back two weeks later just like Bluewind? The answer is simple, if this man can achieve the dream, then so can we in due time. Persistence is key, and if you keep going for it, zen will eventually reward you with what you deserve. We've been close many times and must keep going.
