By elitists I assume you mean the people who constantly clash about breeding vs genning because of a youtuber who wears a dog collar,or the actual try hards who complain if you use anything outside of smogon.
If you are talking about that verlis retard, no. Elitists in my opinion are those who act like they are hot stuff and great at battling when all they are doing is banning half the Pokemon and using the most OP things they have to win against people who use regular mons.

Loosely about competitive play, I just hit a 35 win streak on HeartGold Batle Factory, highest streak so far, and it's tense now. Somehow that winds me up more than battling a human being over Showdown or Wi-Fi. I just ignore the occasional condescending comments during a battle. I play Showdown casually (or rarely rather). God, I saw a really cool picture on /vp/ recently, and it's accurate (at least for the people I know).

I LOVE battle factory just for that reason, it's more challenging than any other thing you can do in the games! I only managed to hit 157 wins in Emerald when I got an unbelievably OP team (Quick Claw Granbul, Banded Entei and Toxic stall Rest/Sleep Talk Leftovers Registeel). As for the image, to be honest, Tamashii has basically died (as a channel) same as guy in the middle (forget his name), Eevee only does collabs now pretty much, Gnoggin and Etika do Nintendo stuff, not Pokemon and everyone else is just a screaming and screeching retard:P

Made it to 46 wins, and it was a Brave Bird double kill from the opponent. If only that meant me winning. The rental system is my favorite, Stadium was the very first Pokemon game I played, I didn't really understand EVs, natures, IVs, all that competitive stuff until 2014 (following a 7 year hiatus from pokemon games), so Battle Factory on Emerald was my beloved pasttime along with Stadium 1 and 2 up until 2007. So Battle Agency bringing a bit of that back made me really excited for USUM.

Same about the Battle Agency. The rental Pokemon battles are by far my favorite part of any games that allow them! Unlike normal battles where you pick the most OP stuff you can and blast your way through the battles, with rentals you are forced to work with what you got and face stronger opponents, so skill and knowledge plays a huge part in it, while adding some luck factor in too. How you use your team and what Pokemon you pick greatly affect how well you will do. You can pick something weaker for more coverage or something stronger for less coverage, but you can be assured that rentals will always be strong, but balanced well! For example, lower stat mons get better moves (eg: Granbull I used for the 157 streak I mentioned has EQ, Rock Slide, Thunder Punch and Ice Punch) while higher stat ones may only get one attack that can actually be used and may not even have a good accuracy (eg: Typhlosion with just Fire Blast and status moves like Sunny Day, Substitute and Roar).

How do we know if some one leaks it on some other site other then 4 chan we don't know of
Leak will always come from a chan and pretty much the only active pokemon category in a chan is 4chan's, so it will be up there for certain as soon as it comes out, even if posted somewhere else before it. I checked 8chan too, but pokemon topics are pretty dead there, 4chan is only one that bothers with such things.

If it does get leak are you going to play it.

The file size is way too small, even in compressed form. But you can go right ahead and download it and prove us wrong if you'd like.

Most likely.


Considering OP literally posted a rickroll it's fake:P
But was that really the OP?
