espeon, I guess you didn't read his comment at all. He said it himself that the best deck is what you make it out to be and I do the same thing but I do it to championship decks.
There is a huge difference there. When I make my decks, I do it with my favorite Pokemon or Pokemon I like. I have a Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres deck that uses Eeletric as the engine. It also has a few other support attackers to help matchups like Terrakion, Mewtwo EX and shiny Rayquaza. The reason I can play that deck well is because I know the ins and outs of the deck, while my opponent sits in the dark not know what I will do next. So to me, thats the best deck I can us. I've never used it in a tournament because I want to try other concepts like Cresselia EX and Gardevoir. I'm always trying non meta concepts with the Pokemon I like because I enjoy the game better that way. Now I can still play meta decks.
The issue most people are having with you is you refuse to do the research and testing required to make a deck 'BDIF'. Players win their games and bad matchups because they take the time required to learn their deck and use the cards they feel fits their play style. To them its like their baby. Although they came from the same basic idea, each deck is unique in its own way based on the players. You can take the best deck in the format and lose out with it because you dont understand why the cards were in the deck.
My views on net decking have changed a lot from when I started posting but I will still speak like a scrub on it because its the only way I can keep a opened mind about the subject but I however dont like it when people post on like asking for list that won because all it shows is you don't care to see the game grow. That you are only here to take from the community. If other players can take the time to work out the flaws in their deck, then you should be willing to do the same. Just play what deck YOU feel is the 'BDIF' and play it. Learn the deck and make necessary adjustments according to your play style.
And I guess you haven't been around The Pokegym long enough to read the various threads about net decking. Search for some of them and you will see Vaporeon's stance on net decking.
(Vaporeon, please correct me if I'm wrong) He was saying that the best decks don't follow someone else's list. The best decks are created by players testing new ideas themselves.
I agree. The game would not evolve if not for players trying new concepts. Fliptini was dead until someone gave it a chance.
