I'm seriously considering quitting this game ... not only am I afraid of losing, I'm also bad at the game. I can't make lower reqs, and each time I play against a top player I find I inexorably lose. Sure I beat top players every now and then, but more often than not I don't. I don't lose horribly, but from the first move I see myself losing.
I might be able to make lower reqs if I stopped playing high-risk-high-reward DS/BP strats, but then making a team is really time-consuming as well and I'm still afraid of losing. This game needs someone to skill swap Pressure off it lol, or it's hard for me to even press the "find battle" button. I hoped it wouldn't turn out this way, but then I can't bring myself to play Kongai either - a much simpler game in which every "Pokemon" is much better balanced against each other + there's no "does this Houndoom have Sucker Punch" factor + I'm much better at it given my win rate.
Oh well. Have fun on the leaderboard I guess =)
