It seems the days no longer exist where people use their actual favorite pokemon to battle. Everyone uses the exact same pokemon and PVP has become a generic experience.
Trainers use the same teams.
Metagross, Slaking and Dragonite are often the top 3 in everyones parties these days. I am sure this is not because these are their favorites, but because people want to win. Which there is nothing wrong with that, but I remember a time in PWO where trainers used their actual favorite pokemon and trained them hard to battle any team and if they lost they adjusted their strategy and went at it again.
There is nothing like winning a battle with your favorites as oppose to winning with a generic Uber team just to stack on wins.
Now it is about common knowledge that everyone who battles max lvls have the same 3-4-maybe even 5 pokemon in their line up. The first 3 I listed are about the basic ones. The other 3 vary between, Tauros (Whom for some reason can take down a Salamence), Alakazam (Who is awesome but I feel just used to stack on wins), Gyarados (Repetitive powerful Hyber Beams with no charge) and a few others.
What happens is that you catch your favorites, just to train them to lvl 99 to battle them against an awesome asortment of teams just to realize everyone is carrying the same 3-4 pokemon on them most of the time. SO, this prompts you to obtain the same pokemon from the list of generics, leaving room for about 1-2 pokemon that are actually your favorites in hopes of remaining unique in some way, train them to lvl 99 and then try to stack on wins.
This is not an issue nor a complaint... merely an observation on how much the game has changed and I am meeting a lot of trainers who claim boredom from everyone being so generic.
I am perhaps as generic as you can get. My name is PkmnMasterRed for a reason. I use Red's exact team.
Pikachu 99, Charizard 97, Venusaur 85, Blastoise 85, Lapras 99 and Snorlax 95.
You cant get more generic at that. However people tend to laugh when they see my 99 Pikachu and ask why I didnt evolve it. As to which I usually respond in Red's typical manner "..." before turning away and leaving.
