The CMC Pokèmon League

all shoddy does is give everyone a playset of everything (in cmc terms)

I really don't see how that's bad from a competitive POV
it just evens things out and makes battling based solely on skill (for the most part anyway)

from a collectors POV I can see how it would piss people off
getting a battle worthy shiny charmander and then training it to level 100 takes a lot of effort

but that's where shoddy comes in
if you just want to battle (which is, I'm assuming, what this thread is all about) it's an ideal time saver
