I don't think they were serious about that. It was just an elitist outcry per usual. People not wanting others to try out new things, possibly catching them off-guard. They were trying to make up crap to justify everything as a way to satire what the thread had become. I'm really impressed by how Antar kept a cool head even at the end, because things could have gone haywire real fast. I completely agree with his approach, a niche use might not be good at all, but it's still theoretically usable, so we shouldn't be punished for trying it out.The Seeker of All Formulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388159182582182996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-64189985426990576472014-03-29T22:44:13.881-04:002014-03-29T22:44:13.881-04:00If I wanted to use a gimmicky Counter set, I'd...If I wanted to use a gimmicky Counter set, I'd use Focus Sash Zoroark...Ness Prowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515380966775058704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-75104008307764719482014-03-29T22:42:48.597-04:002014-03-29T22:42:48.597-04:00... come on, shuca counter worked great for me in ...... come on, shuca counter worked great for me in gen 4, and I had to catch Mareep in the safari zone and give it the counter tutor in gen 3 to use it!<br /><br />The ditto... well, it was before gen 5 happened.VikingBoyBillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194571165915885813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-27555895981055165152014-03-29T20:26:58.912-04:002014-03-29T20:26:58.912-04:00Well no wonder you feel embarrassed, these sets ar...Well no wonder you feel embarrassed, these sets are bottom-of-the-barrel SHITE.

You always find out later, even if it's just five seconds, that it evolves from Slowpoke instead.Slowflakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090675773915536700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-29811108047829658532014-03-29T15:34:11.357-04:002014-03-29T15:34:11.357-04:00I never thought that, not even when I was nine.I never thought that, not even when I was nine.LordDirtyBrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597676958537000849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-17496958041217127952014-03-29T13:32:10.999-04:002014-03-29T13:32:10.999-04:00Maybe they think they'd be able to pull off so...Maybe they think they'd be able to pull off some kind of chain that ends in something they view as threatening, like Thief Pikachu.
