That's some speach there but I do believe everyone have that sentiment towards their pokemon and what not.

You'd be surprised how many competitive battlers see them just as tools/pixel arrangements+stats.
I think I battled that guy. I know I won, but I can't remember if he D/C'd or not
I remember when I was 8, and too get crits I use to tap A repeatedly. Then realized it was all by luck till one day I figured screaming at my pokemon will shield them from crits. LIVE!LIVE!
No but I burned a lot of other things. Mostly Physical Attackers
More batttles, got back to 1714, not like it's a lot but for someone with no experience of VGC stuff nor doubles, it's pretty okay.
4. Mokasa, Mexico, 1680 pt. 1-0 (victory) pretty close match, but I'm getting tired of Terracott. Back to 1700s :D
5. Pawn200, None, 1158 pts (lolwut?), in-game team, underleveled, pretty much entered every AoE'er I had to get it done quick, felt really bad for doing it, took his loss like a man. 4-0 (victory)
6. TAPALIN, Mexico, 1460 pt. 3-2 (disconected when he saw he was doomed, surprise, surprise)
7. Ominous, USA Georgia, 1737 pts. 3-0 (disconnected when sending the results, good luck with your all genies team...)
8. Josef, Mexico, 1547 pts. 2-0 (victory)
TL,DR: Help, it's the disconnecters!

Don't diss the genies.
When you lose 3-0 with a team full of them, against a terrible team that relies on Cincinno to beat them or Tailwind despite having hax in your favor yet you still ragequit, you deserve the diss.
I've noticed the same thing. At the beginning I'd be playing noobs with in-game teams at least 9/10 of the time. Now it's maybe 2/3 or so.
I see what you did there.
Real men play triple genie/triple pony. I'm only half a real man.
Im stuck below 1650 after 70+ battles due to ragequits. And Darian...
I love and cherish my pokemon. I always tell them not to give up when they lose in the BS Squared (Bullshit Battle Subway) due to some ridiculous hax or me using the wrong move. Then we fight in the stadiums, teach Cynthia which region's the best, show Morimoto what he started, and head back to try again. Unlike my friend who punishes them mercilessly.

GG. That miss was very important, probably i'd had lost without it.
btw, nice thread about VGC 2011 o/
am currently at 1826 (lol I'll probably lose next match and drop below 1800)
Just as I was defeating a mexican with a rating of 1914 he dc's on me.

OH ME GAWD, im at 1890 ready to break the 1900 mark.
You no what I realize, most people would never do gbu. Put 2011official tournament and you got people playing for hours at a time looking at there rating. haha. Though I can't wait once this is over and realize I wasted 5 days of my life for a Wi-fi tournament haha.

Aww, I wasn't singling anyone here out, you know. The people who do what I said know who they are. I assure you, I'm quite pleasantly surprised to find a good number of people who genuinely care for their Pokemon around here, I assure you.
Edit: Scratch that, I just noticed that everything is quoted as by 'Fat' something. Um. Why is that, anyway? Regardless, the above sentiment still applies. Many of you make me happy.
Makes me sad. D;
Man my team in White was Emboar (I chose her in Black too but I just love Emboar so much) which is my second favorite pokemon, Cryogonal which is my third, Chandelure because they are too cool, Darumakka because he is adorable, the most awesome giraffe millipede , and Elektross because Tynamo was the first thing I found in the caves. I nickname all of my pokemon and I can't imagine getting rid of any of them. I start to love all of the "ugly" pokemon once I use them, and now I seem to prefer them haha.
I can't imagine just plowing through the game to breed competitive fodder. I only make new competitive pokemon when absolutely necessary, otherwise I try and use my favorites.
I am such a dork guys.
