Go Battle League Burnout?
The only reason I even participate in the GBL at all is because of Pikachu Libre. I love Pikachu Libre so much and of course I want it, once I get it I don't have any reason to ever touch the GBL again. I always tell myself at the start of every season that I'm going to actually try harder and get Pikachu Libre this time, but most seasons I end up stopping after just a week or two. Once I stop I feel like I should just wait for the next season to start since it'll be easier to get as high as possible earlier in the season when not everyone will have started yet.
I was a lot more serious about this season, I told myself I'd really do it this time and I won't just forget and fall out of it like all the other times. I'm level 37 now and have lots of high power Pokemon and resources and I feel like I really can do it. I did get to rank 20 in just a few days, but that's where it started getting difficult. I knew it'd be hard of course, but lately I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth trying anymore. I always do all 5 battle sets every day but the past few days and especially with Master League and the Holiday Cup, I find myself just looking forward to getting through all 5 sets so I don't have to do it again until the next day. Some days I'm only getting a couple wins throughout all 5 sets now, and I find myself often just forfeiting most battles early or even just a bit after starting them now because of one bad matchup and it feels hopeless. I use PvPoke and I've spent so many resources on different Pokemon to power them up for the league and change their moves, and now I'm out of charged TMs and low on stardust too. It just feels now like I'm more likely to run into a bunch of counters for my team than anything else, even with me using the team builder on PvPoke to get as high grade of a team as possible.
My ELO dropped to 1507 and that along with everything else I mentioned just has me wondering if it's even worth trying to continue this season or if I shouldn't even bother. I'm not doing this for the stardust or rewards or resources, I just want to get Pikachu Libre and then never have to touch the GBL again. Even with me trying more than ever this season though I've reached a point where it feels like there's no point or hope, should I just stop and wait for another new season to start again?
