Impeccable Addiction to.. ShoddyBattle
| << Standard of Fairness | Go to: | I made it >> |
It's 1:25 AM and tomorrow I have to wake at 6 AM for school.
I'm sitting at the computer fighting a metaphoric battle with my own self-control in regards to non-metaphoric-but-atypical-from-the-everyday-sense-of-the-word sort of battling that we all know as Pokemon battling.
I am on the popular Pokemon battling simulator called ShoddyBattle, testing a new team for the first time. This is my first stall team.. The kind with the lead Hippowdon that gets Sandstorm running and some annoying little pest called Vaporeon that switches in on all your weaker hits and water attacks to spam wish.
My first few battles are careless. I'm clueless. I lose momentum. I don't Rapid Spin fast enough. I let my lovely walls get two-thirds worn down.
But it's the failure that makes me addicted to trying again. Just like the streaking loser who always wants a rematch, I keep battling and win some and lose some and notice my little mistakes yet lost in the cycle of spinning clicks and ShoddyBattling, the program freezes, but I reopen it yet like the run-onness of this sentence I just keep on going and clicking moves without thinking.
Like an addiction. To clicking. Where I really wonder if I'm really thinking anymore about my battles. But I seem to be doing alright; I battled many Baton Pass teams for some reason and one of them had every Pokemon sporting the move Taunt, beloved by all stallers.
It's 1:37 AM, and I think I'm gonna go to sleep. Wait! Let me write down my team first. ;)
