[*]Don't talk crap about less experienced players. I know we do this all the time in joking around and it gets perpetuated by certain things (ladder sux lol), but it is important to remember that everyone has to start somewhere and we all start from the same place: the bottom. You are not born good at Pokemon, everyone was "the ladder random who used Quick Claw Kyogre" at some point.
[*]An ego is a character flaw, not a virtue. If you play Pokemon just to inflate it, go find a new hobby.
