Line 58:
** In fact, pretty much the entire competitive ''Pokémon'' community is the epitome of this trope. If you’re one of the poor fools who ''dares'' to raise your Pokémon without <s>horribly and cruelly abusing/biologically mutating</s> EV Training them, you are going to be called a [[Scrub]] and be publicly humiliated. And if you even think about ''thinking about'' mentioning that it’s actually a physical possibility to play the game without regard to the endless amounts of soulless numbers and statistics, prepare to be mercilessly flamed until absolutely nothing is left of you.
** Heck, just having the "wrong" ''moveset'' can cause the "Stop Having Fun!" Guys to look down upon you. And to put it further, having the wrong nature, stats, and whatnot is also frowned upon.
*** Speaking of "correct" teams and moves: one war story has the teller losing five widely-used competitive Pokemon before sweeping with one normally ranked in the second-lowest tier, to the complete surprise of both players. The hilarity is best appreciated in [httphttps://wwwweb.serebiiforumsarchive.comorg/showthreadweb/20190818145325/https://forums.serebii.net/threads/super-lol.php?t=437618/ the original thread] (complete with chat-log).
** Do ''not'' mention you use "Uber" Pokemon. At all. Even if you're just a casual player (IE: Not very competitive) the more hardcore gamers will accuse you of using nothing more than "[[Game Breaker]]s" or "Relying too much on over-powered Pokemon to win battles". Heck, just having an "Uber" on your team and not even ''using'' it counts.
** [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Two words: Action Replay]]. Hardcore Pokemon gamers will frown upon those who use "cheat codes" to obtain certain Pokemon (mainly Event Pokemon), even though it is technically legal to do so.
