It's not that I know absolutely nothing about the game. I know the "technical" side of the game. It's battling competitively that I haven't experienced enough success in. I have trouble building an original team that addresses enough of the threats that D/P presents; that doesn't motivate me to battle as much as I should.
Keep in mind: I've only battled at a competitive level for ONE YEAR. Not everyone can learn the competitive game in that length of time, especially if they don't battle on a regular basis. (College takes up a lot of my time.)
Besides, I don't think I was badged for my battle prowess and understanding of the competitive game. IIRC, I was badged because I was generally helpful to everyone in Stark and created a useful tool in my Pokemon Resource, which I should get back to working on once my semester is over since I've been trying to revamp it.
