Video Game ChampionshipsI haven't gone beyond Battle Spot yet. And I don't even know what the VGC is. What does it stand for?
Battlespot for me. I played Smogon rules for a bit, but was quickly turned off by the amount of whining I encountered. I understand their desire for certain clauses, but when you're first LEARNING the Smogon rules, accidentally put a second pokemon to sleep, and then get ripped apart for it, it turns you off to this brand new way of playing.
I still have fun with Battlespot though. My qualm is when you have people trying to impose Smogon rules on non-Smogon players. Luckily I've only ran into that a handful of times. I have friends that play Smogon, and they're fine battling me from time to time. It's not a generalization I'm making, but rather an observation of my experiences. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I have nothing against other play styles, but when someone tries to forcefully impose one set of metagame rules on a player who doesn't agree with them, that's where you run into problems.
I've never tried VGC rules myself. In fact, I've never really heard of it until now. I must do some research.
