No, I'm more of a role-play gamer since I play several games as if it's the same character traveling through different regions (with traveling companions, personalities and backstories for the people and pokémon, storylines that either go along with the game or I make up entirely, etc.) that's sort of like an anime/adventures manga equivalent to a Nuzlocke challenge- only with completely different rules and restrictions.
However, since I use my in-game teams for competitions, I do train them competitively from time to time so I don't lose every battle. Plus, I gave Showdown a try last night & it wasn't that bad
The person below me prefers watching dub anime over raw versions because they don't want to spend most of their time reading the subtitles
