The actual attaining of the pokemon has absolutely nothing to do with the tournament. People can throw out the "emotional bonds" and "meaning of being a trainer" and "team rocket was right" platitudes all they want, but this isn't an anime. None of that factors into who wins the tournament. Nor will any time spent grinding for bottle caps, hunting for mints, or farming Tera shards, ability capsules, or any of that garbage. Doing that dorsnt teach anything that you need to do to win, it just makes it take longer. The only difference that matters is who has the better strategy. Matchups, movesets, predicting the opponent. That's it. At the end of the day, so long as it's legal, it shouldn't matter where your Terrakion came from. This isn't a meaningful restriction; it's busywork. May as well have the players write a 10 page essay on Jane Eyre as an entry requirement. --- Haven't had a good sig idea since 2006 <cite>DarkBuster22904 posted [p:975415090] in People are...
