On Pokemon showdown I test out teams I have been thinking of for awhile so I don't waste time making a team that won't work. Simple reason, so when my team doesn't work I'll tweak it. On showdown you can chat with the person you are battling which is fun because you make silly jokes and stuff. The one thing that makes me so irritated and angry is when my team gets annihilated and the person I'm playing says I suck and that I should quite trying or they make fun of me through the whole match. THAT IS WRONG! For me Pokemon is a stress reliever and a happy zone, aka I play it when I'm sad so I feel better, but when I'm TESTING a team I don't want to have some person dare make fun of me. Has anyone heard of sportsmen ship? or politeness? I am always up for suggestions on my team, I'm never up for anyone bashing my team because you swept it with a species claused bilssey combo >.< Sorry, rant over. It happened a lot tonight and I couldn't take it anymore. Also when you try to tell these idiots to shut up or try to make them stop they laugh at you and do it more. I already get bullied at school I don't need this in my happy zone.

Yeah, that's pretty much the internet for you. That's probably the reason I wouldn't dive too deep on a competitive site like that anyway.
I wouldn't look too far into it, it was probably like that guy's first win and he wanted a bit of an ego boost to go along with it, sadly we live in a world where this kind of behavior is everywhere, you just got to rise above it and learn to ignore it, or fight back.
Anyway, point it, don't let that one event get you down, as I'll be honest, it's going to happen again to you in life, and even me, and even anyone who is reading this now, it's just how you deal with the situation at the time and and what you do to move on from it.

Unfortunately, there are some people who use battle simulators who are like that. Just ignore them or mute them when possible. If they are vulgar, or if they are harassing you, you may be able to PM a mod to get something done about it. I usually use PO when I use a battle simulator, but rude people play there too.

It is really annoying when they do it. UGH!And most of them use broken strategies that really get on my nerves like You'll use a move like toxic and then they will have two pranksters out and then one uses encore and then the other uses taunt so you have to struggle yourself to death. >.<

That... is actually pretty clever. I got to give credit where it's due.
Could you not switch out or simply predict what the combination of Taunt and Encore will be?

Am I incorrect in assuming Showdown does not have a mute or hide chat button like Pokemon Online does??
