I posted this in this section because I do not think it should correlate to Pokemon in general.
-------------
Pokemon is a game like any other game. You can never be the best. You can be great. If you're great, it only means you win more than an average battler. Why? statistically you're considered to be "clever and experienced at the game." Which means that you have a lot of experience in the game and understand how things works and you are intelligent. Intelligence in correspondence to IQ. If you have a high IQ you are able to configure statistics in your head while making smart moves. Such as outpredicting someone's prediction, eliminating Pokemons in order to gain the higher statistics in winning the battle. To clearly understand this, for example; all your Pokemons are being countered and you clearly observe your opponents team through scouting. You come to a realization that in order to maximize your chance of winning you must sacrifice one of your Pokemon through exploding a significant Pokemon the opponent needs to stall you. So you exploade that Pokemon and you Heatran takes an ease and eliminates half the opponents team. Thus, maximizing your chances of winning. But if you fail to explode at the right time, that means your opponent has outsmarted you and has "more experience and intelligence." Then there is "luck." When you are luck haxed, your chances of winning can severely detiorate or not change much at all. An example is a siginificant critical hit in which it elminated an important counter for the opponent. Thus, deteriorating your chances of winning and having a tougher time countering the Pokemon that took out your main counter. This usually ends in a loss.
So to be good at the game you will need the two main components, Experience and High IQ.
So many, they have a high IQ, but not experienced. They know how to predict and make outstanding moves in game, but lack experience in knowing certain elements of the game.
Others have a long time experience. So they understand how to counter and sweep effectively and win. But they lose because of being outpredicted through the other players "IQ" in understanding how you will make your moves. They know this because once they've studied your moves for a few turns, they can predict your level of intelligence and understand every move you will make. (This is only clear to those that have high experience and IQ).
Then there's luck. Luck by statistic is relevant to all players. If you played 1000 stright games and counted how many times you've had luck oppose to how many times your opponent had luck they'd come outvery close to 50%. (I can certainly guarantee it). So it is utterly wrong to say "you have the worst luck than anyone in the game." Because statistically all players have the same amount of luck (meaning not one person has 30% Hypnosis rate and the other has 90%, its always 60%).
This is to prove that, like all STRATEGY games, you need experience and a high IQ to defeat those lesser than you. Also, luck plays a huge role. (in order to prevent luck, statistcally you'll have to do a best our of 101 games in order to find the best battler).
Experience = Can be obtained to anyone
High IQ = Only a select few
Luck hax = Can be obtained by both battlers
Luck in having the right team = Can only happen to one of the battlers

If you disagree, please state why. If you agree and understood what I'm trying to explain, then you realize how the game works an intelligent person
