I don't have the patience to EV train, so no. I never felt the need to do online play, anyway. Pokémon is supposed to be fun.

Like Tux I've got no patience. And I never battle anyway so yeah I say I suck. XD

I used to be a metawhore and pick the best OU champs. And I never made a team. I pressed buttons and won. But no I suck at mindgames. Always outplayed.

Well the only wi-fi battle I won is when someone turned off the power of the game the moment I won. :|

I used to be REALLY into competitive pokemon. In my spare time I would read random never used pokemon movesets on smogon and see what people team them up with. My favourite thing about competitive pokemon was the mind games. People would get so into predicting and they would try to predict your switch but you realize that the switch is obvious so you stay in while they think it's too risky and if you mess up a switch you're down a pokemon so they go for the safe play and explode, so both pokemon would go down. Good times.

Actually when I was younger, I was a lot more ultra competitive. Nowadays, I prefer to play more casually.

"Hi I am Xp-try hard. And I only use Doryuzuu and Hippowdon. Because I like using the blatantly overpwoered pokemon, but I have no idea what I'm doing"

Sup, X. Btw this was when B/W pokemon were known by their japanese names

Doryuzuu = Excadrill

I would say I'm good since I've beaten a lot of this forum, but that would be a lie. I've only had three truly competitive battles on this site. They were against Ice and Weavile. The rest of my battles on this site have been complete jokes.

I used to play some, and was decent enough I guess. Nowadays I don't really bother (League OP).

I just got into it recently, as black and white is the only Pokemon game I have that is compatible with my crappy wifi.
I'm really good at competitive.

I'm relatively decent myself. I used to be really into it back in the day of D/P/P, but when B/W Gen V came out, I pretty much stopped, until now. I'm starting to get back into things. :)

I used to be really into it. I stopped for about a year, but have recently started to get back into it. The only game I've had on wifi so far has been against Calla, however. As for the question, I guess I used to be okay, but I feel like I am terrible now, which is understandable.

I only play on PO because I have no patience. But, I did get up to #6 on DW UU at one point.

I am REALLY bad at competitive Pokemon. In fact, I don't even know HOW to play competitive Pokemon. It's way too complicated for me. >_<

^I can't deny that it's not complicated.

Which is why I hate people who say that Pokemon is a kiddy game. Yes, younger children like it, but at high levels of competitive battling it becomes an intense strategy game. It's very much like a chess game, except with more variables. You have to think up a team composition, train it, and gain experience in fighting all types of Pokemon, using various strategies, and predicting how the opponent will react.

What Zach said.
I'm not very good, but I do beat alot of people who face me.

I suck at it. I've only won about 3 out of almost 50 battles I've had.

I used to play competitive Pokemon in online or Wi-Fi, before like 2 years ago. Now recently, I battle other people and play it just for fun and I don't have the time to EV Train or something else. Honestly, I'm actually kinda bad at battling other people in online or Wi-Fi.

I'm really not good at online play AT ALL, which is why I don't do it anymore. I usually only play the main game of Pokemon and try to train up a bunch of different Pokemon now for no good reason.

I can do double battles on the GTS, but not too well. My record is something like 15 wins, 35 losses. Spending some time on the Battle Subway and getting some halfway decent items has helped a little bit, though.

I'm actually pretty good for a 10 years old boy in competitive battle

I am pretty good at Pokemon online play. My record is always pretty good with my wins outweighing my losses.

I'm pretty good, but nothing too special. But I'm not a big fan of the whole mind games, I just predict one turn ahead and weigh my options. I also don't calc at all, I just hope I kill.

I play competitively, but right now, I' too lazy to EV train my team I'm gonna use.

My post from a year ago looks so strange now . . . (http://superskarmory.net/forum/showthread.php?1099-Are-you-good-at-online-play&p=38746&viewfull=1#post38746)

Eh, I'm okay at competitive Pokemon. However, I prefer to troll around than battle seriously. (http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-36279786)

Not really, since I never EV train, and I seldom think past two moves ahead.

No, since there's a level restriction (down to Level 50) and I never win.
