Haha you seem so similar to me... I was hesitant to get into competitive at first but battles on shoddy pushed me to make a team for wifi battles- it isn't done yet (still waiting on a last team member) but it should be fun. ^_^
I think RNG catching with stationary pokes is a whole lot easier than RNG breeding. I still gotta work on my RNG catches with wild pokes. Once you get the hang of something, tho, it becomes a lot easier. It's always that first time when you decide to RNG that makes or breaks you- you should try it at least once ^_^ If you can do it, it will help out a whole lot in the future!
